Hi,

If I get it correctly,when OSver = Win8, then

getOSver()!="Win8" || getOSver()!="Win8.1"

is true, because False or True ==> True

I think you need to write

getOSver()!="Win8" && getOSver()!="Win8.1"

Regards.

Hello all,

For those who might be interested in the solution:

cmds[pn]=['{JSCRIPT}=RunCmd(\'"\' + RegKeyValue("HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Wow6432Node\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall\\Adobe Flash Player ActiveX\\UninstallString")+\'"\'%comma%0%comma%1);']

This run the uninstall command stored in the registry.

Cheers,

Hi all,

I am trying to run a command that is build on reading the registry thru JSCRIPT

I tryed the following with no result

cmds[pn]=['{JSCRIPT}=RunCmd(RegKeyValue("HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Wow6432Node\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall\\Adobe Flash Player ActiveX\\UninstallString") %comma% false %comma% true);'];

or even

cmds[pn]=['{JSCRIPT}=RunCmd(RegKeyValue("HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Wow6432Node\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall\\Adobe Flash Player ActiveX\\UninstallString").replace(/\\/gi %comma% "\\\\") %comma% false %comma% true);'];

none do work.

I know that

cmds[pn]=['{JSCRIPT}=alert ("myvalue = " + RegKeyValue("HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Wow6432Node\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall\\Adobe Flash Player ActiveX\\UninstallString"));'];

it shows a message box with the correct value

C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil32_13_0_0_206_ActiveX.exe -maintain activex

Please advise on how to get it working.

Regards.

Hi all,

After looking into that issue, I came to the conclusion, that I need 2 REGEDIT command patern as on a 64 bit system, such as Windows 7 I need to include registry key either in the standard hive (64 bits) or in the 32 bit hive (Wow6432Node).

To achieve that I have created a REGEDIT32 patern to force usage of 32 bits entry on a 64 bit system

As I do not use the UI to set my config file I have not looked into the changes that need to be made.

In file installer.js add and replace the case REGEDIT statement by

case 'REGEDIT32' :	if (FileExists(cmd))	{		if (cmd.indexOf(" ") != - 1 && cmd.substr(0, 1) != '"')			cmd = '"'+cmd+'"'; 		cmd='"'+sysPath32+'RegEdit" /S ' + cmd; 		fsoCmd=true;	}	else		cmd = getText(txtErrorRegEditFileExists);	break;case 'REGEDIT' :	if (FileExists(cmd))	{		if (cmd.indexOf(" ") != - 1 && cmd.substr(0, 1) != '"')			cmd = '"'+cmd+'"';		if (OSBits==64) 			cmd='"'+windir+'\\RegEdit" /S ' + cmd;				   		else 			cmd='"'+sysPath32+'RegEdit" /S ' + cmd; 		fsoCmd=true;	}	else		cmd = getText(txtErrorRegEditFileExists);	break

Hope this helps someone.

Regards.

Anyone can help ?

Beside creating a REGEDIT32 and REGEDIT64, I do not see a clean solution.

Hi,

I just upgrade to 8.7.2 release. I did not bump into bit64 problem. I mean, I remove all line bit64[pn] form my config.js file.

But I ran into a problem with REGEDIT command.

Before I was using WPI 8.6.3

my config file was :

prog[pn]=['Activer Windows Update'];uid[pn]=['WUx64'];desc[pn]=['Activer les parammétres de WindowsUpdate'];dflt[pn]=['no'];forc[pn]=['no'];bit64[pn]=['yes'];cat[pn]=['Finalisation'];configs[pn]=['Win7,Licence Free'];cmds[pn]=['{REGEDIT} "%wpipath%\\..\\Windows Seven\\Astuces - Windows 7\\Activer WindowsUpdate - Windows Seven.reg"'];cond[pn]=['getOSver()=="Win7" && FileExists("%wpipath%\\..\\Windows Seven\\Astuces - Windows 7\\Activer WindowsUpdate - Windows Seven.reg")'];pn++;

it was using as REGEDIT C:\Windows\system32\RegEdt32.exe

Now with WPI 8.7.2 it is using C:\Windows\sysWOW64\regedit.exe

(I suppose the difference is related to sysPath32 and sysPath64)

and unfortunately with my .reg file il does not work.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update]"AUOptions"=dword:00000002"IncludeRecommendedUpdates"=dword:00000001"ElevateNonAdmins"=dword:00000001

Thanks for any help provided.

Hi all,

After posting on wincert a fix for my usage, I propose you the following change.

I was willing to use an IF statement as a cmd iun WPI. And it did not work.

cmds[pn]=[' "%wpipath%\\PathToExe\\MainExe.exe" /s /v/qn',
     '{CMD} IF EXIST "%wpipath%\\PathToExe\\ExeFile.exe" start "Title" /WAIT   "%wpipath%\\PathToExe\\ExeFile.exe" /s /v/qn'];
 cond[pn]=['FileExists("%wpipath%\\PathToExe\\MainExe.exe")'];

I track done a change in installer.js (on line 1080 WPI 8.6.3)

case 'CMD': 
     cmd="CMD /C " + cmd; 
     fsoCmd=true; 
     break;

As added by myselfidem, to add the possibility to choose the CMD command in WPI menu, the following changes are needed in configwizard.js

on line 363:

CommandsMenuBar.addNewChild("cmd_dos2", 11, "dos_cmd", "Cmd", false, "", "");

on line 632:

case 'dos_cmd':
	HandleCommandsSelectionMenu("{CMD} ");
	break;

Regards.

Adding getosver to the commandlines is getting messy... (Might not happen)
However still looking into adding 2 or more commands to the same line.

Hi All,

Bumping into that problem, I come up with a simple solution.

Only in the case of a {X86} or {X64} command, you might have after 1 other command.

I did not code the full solution, but a solution that I think fixes most of the cases.

Based on that fact, I modified installer.js file

initial code :

		case '{X86}':
				if (getBits()==64)
					cmd="SKIP0";
				cmd=cmd.replace(/{x86} /gi,'');
				fsoCmd=false;
				break;

			case '{X64}':
				if (getBits()==32)
					cmd="SKIP0";
				cmd=cmd.replace(/{x64} /gi,'');
				fsoCmd=false;
				break;

Modified code

		case '{X86}':
				if (getBits()==64)
					cmd="SKIP0";
				else
				{
					cmd=cmd.replace(/{x86} /gi,'');
					handleCommand(cmd,item,cmdNum);
				}
				fsoCmd=false;
				break;

			case '{X64}':
				if (getBits()==32)
					cmd="SKIP0";
				else
				{
					cmd=cmd.replace(/{x64} /gi,'');
					cmd=handleCommand(cmd,item,cmdNum);
				}
				fsoCmd=false;
				break;

Hope this helps some of you.

I know this doesn't fix your problem,...

Yes, it doesn't solve my problem. In the last_session.ini file a blank line appears each time I mark the remote Assistance.

Can anyone confirm if it is a bug, or a problem with my setup.

Regards.

Hi,

Using nLite 1.3.5, either French or english language, the tweak "allow receiving Remote Assistance" is not saved in the .ini file

It is not applied in the .iso created (as far as I checked).

I once had a similar problem. It was related to the computer name that I set thru nLite. It was already used in my network.

Hope it will give you an hint.

Hi,

I bumped into a problem an after quite a time spend investigating, I finally got the solution that I want to share.

I setup a nLite CD with the following parameters as unattented parameters :

;
; nLite unattended settings
; (don't post it on the net, it's not important for debugging)

AdminPassword = "admin"
CDKey = "you don't need to know that"
ComputerName = INSTALL
FullName = "NAME"
OrgName = "OrgName"
Language = Français (France)
Locale = Français (France)
Keyboard = Fran‡ais
DomainAdmin = 
DomainPass = 
JoinDomain = 
JoinWorkgroup = WORKGROUP

Every run fine, until I tested it in VirtualPC. Around T-30 minutes, just after network setup, the Computer reboots, restarting the installation.

This is beacuse I do have, on my network, another computer that has the same "ComputerName".

Based on that, my advice would be not to set "ComputerName" on an unattented setup.

Hope it helps someone.

I realize this is and old thread, and I have searched this forum and the net for the answer but have been unable to come across one. I used to have this problem a couple years ago, then for some reason it went away for a while, and now I have been experiencing this problem again for some time. I can't remember the various ways I have gone about building my unattended installs to tell why sometimes it does this and other times not, but I do know that when it is happening I have to leave my network cable disconnected from the internet in order for an unattended install to continue past the T-30 min remaining mark without rebooting and restarting in and infinite loop. I also can't recall if i experience this in VMWare or not to be able to tell if maybe it is a driver issue or not. So i am basically wondering if this issue has been resolved by someone or if anyone has any ideas. Thanx

Hi,

I started playing around with nLite no that long ago. I bumped into the very same problem, and finally fixed it.

Your are trying to set up a computer with a "ComputerName" that is already connected on your network.

In your unattented parameters unset "ComputerName"
