G'day All, Does anyone know of a freeware app that will help me setup my NICs through WPI. I understand you can have Windows prompt you for this during install but I want to leave all user input until the very end. I basically want it to do the following Enumerate all NICs using WMI Ability to set IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway and DNS for each NIC Does not require input from a file (e.g. .ini file). A small utility requiring no install Does anyone know of any such app ? Anyone good with scripting and want to write one ? I saw this post but none of these fit my needs. Cheers.

Any chance of a DriveType() function too?

Thanks Kel. I thought I would add this link to a cool app called Colour to HTML to help you pick the colours for your themes.

@Kelsenellenelvian Any chance of getting the XP Pro and 2003 themes updated for 5.4? I know you posted them on behalf of Randy but thought you may still have them. Cheers.

I was messing around rearranging my install order and it now appears to be working again. Not exactly sure how I fixed it though.

Hi All, I've been looking through the forum at some of the themes for both current and older versions and thought I might start having a go at one of my own. Quick question.. does anyone have any links to some cool XP/2003/Vista icon libraries I can use for the WPI buttons ? I'm not having much luck finding any on Google. Also just to add, I'm aware of the PNG collection download, I was looking more for the standard icons to customise my theme. Cheers.

I had a crack at a DriveExists() function. I managed to find it on the msdn site. Works OK for me, correct me if I'm wrong though. Add to your main.js file function DriveExists(drv) { var fso; fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); if (fso.DriveExists(drv)) return true else return false; }

Alot of people in the forum have experienced the issue I seem to have, which is install order. I'm sure this wouldn't be easy but it would be great if you could set the install order by lowest to highest number order with unnumbered selections run before the highest number. I have a selection that needs to run last and currently to get this to work I have to number every selection. This becomes a real pain if I then need to add another app, I then have to renumber every selection. My suggestion is to run it like this 1......WinZip (Install Order #1) 2......Notepad (Install Order #2) ........Acrobat Reader (Unspecified Install Order) ........WinRAR (Unspecified Install Order) 50....Rename Computer (Highest number in install order and therefore runs last) I hope that makes sense.

It would be great if you could sort the navigation menu on the config page (category, install order, name). It would be even better if you could then sort it again (sort by category then by install order etc.). I think this may have been mentioned before but thought I would raise it again anyway. Great tool by the way. Thanks to all the developers. Cheers.

@sadicq I actually tried both ways and neither worked. The only way I have successfully got it to work is by running the regsvr32 line of code in the 'Execute After' section of WPI.

So in another attempt I ran the regsvr32 command in the 'Execute After' in the Options>Tools of WPI. Wouldn't you know it, it works. So can anyone tell me why it doesn't work during the normal processing of WPI ?

Could we have a DriveExists() Function ? DriveExists("D:") returns true or false

Did anything ever come of this ?

OK, so I rebuilt my VM machine again and ran WPI thru GUIRunOnce and again the DLL did not register. I call the following batch file from WPI in order to install Notepad++ xcopy c:\build\notepad++\. "%ProgramFiles%\Notepad++\" /e/q/c/y cscript c:\build\scripts\notepad++.vbs //B regsvr32 /s "%ProgramFiles%\Notepad++\nppshellext.dll" Everything works except the DLL registration. I unregistered the DLL and removed the files then ran the batch file manually and it works fine !?! This has only started happening since I started WPI. I can't for the life of me see why WPI would be the issue but it worked when I called it from another batch file when using GUIRunOnce. Any ideas ?

Hmm.. I think I could have spoken too soon. It appears the dll doesn't want to register at all now. It was working and has since stopped. I'll keep investigating

G'day All, I am experiencing a strange issue when installing Notepad++ using WPI. A feature of the Notepad++ install is the shell extention (right-click) to open files in Notepad++ which is done by registering a dll file either using the NSIS packager or manually. I have attempted to do this using a silent install and from a command line and neither work (only the dll registration fails) when executed from WPI. When the program is installed the exact same way but called from a batch file instead of WPI, the shell extension works. Any ideas why this is happening ?
