I think you may be missing what I am asking? The scripts etc run fine. All tools are on a network share, everything installs perfectly. The script is run as "Administrator", the account is an administrator. To clarify the issue ... When running the script, each command runs but in Vista, after each command - Be it to install an application, create a folder, delete something, add favorites etc a box opens up: "Open File - Security Warning". The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software? Name: \\backup\wpi\wpi\Tools\sleep.exe Publisher: Unknown Publisher Type: Application From: \\backup\wpi\wpi\Tools\sleep.exe. The options are to Run or cancel. If I click on Run - Away we go, no issue with installation. It is the Unknown Publisher that Vista is questioning after each command because of the sleep.exe command running. The bottom of that box says that the file does not have a valid signature that verifies its publisher. If User Access Control is on or off = No difference. This happens on every single computer with Vista - Surely other have the same issue because it is Vista?

I feel like an utter n00b - Vlited? I assume you mean the application vlite from vlite.net? If so, how would that help in this case? Or, do you mean vlited in some other context?

I cannot locate any solution for an annoyance with Vista and WPIW. My scripts work perfectly except for one time consuming annoyance - After every single command you have to click on ok for the "open File - Security Warning" for sleep.exe. After every single command. In XP everything goes thorough with no delays. Is there any way what so ever to bypass that confirmation for Vista? And no, it is not UAC as that is already off. Thanks kindly

For any one else running into this - I found the cause ... WORKS with OLDER WPI ... cmd1[pn]=['%wpipath%\\Install\\ccleaner-setup.exe']; MUST NOW BE .....cmd1[pn]=['"%wpipath%\\Install\\ccleaner-setup.exe"']; All commands need to now be enclosed in quotation marks. Now if only I can find the cause why file copies work in XP but not Vista ...

I just installed version 7.1.1 and all me regedits etc work, file copies etc work but none of my programs will install anymore? The errors are: Wednesday, October 29, 2008 8:06:19 AM Program: CCleaner Unique ID: CCleaner Order: 000500 Category: 6 - Applications Wednesday, October 29, 2008 8:06:19 AM - cmd1 *** Fail *** (returned code undefined): C:\Documents and Settings\Steve\My Documents\WPI\Install\ccleaner-setup.exe Wednesday, October 29, 2008 8:06:20 AM - Finished installation. The actual part of the config file is: prog[pn]=['CCleaner']; bit64[pn]=['no']; ordr[pn]=[500]; uid[pn]=['CCleaner']; dflt[pn]=['yes']; cat[pn]=['6 - Applications']; forc[pn]=['no']; configs[pn]=['Vista,XP']; gcond[pn]=['FileExists(\'%programfiles%\\\')']; cmd1[pn]=['%wpipath%\\Install\\ccleaner-setup.exe']; picf[pn]=['PNG Collection\\clean.png']; picw[pn]=['96']; pich[pn]=['96']; textl[pn]=['Top']; pn++; Can you offer any insight as to what is different with program installs in this new version? Thanks for your help

I am using the command line options of version 7.1.1 but cannot get it to work? wpi.hta options=useroptions_xp.js config=config_xp.js and wpi.hta options=useroptions_vista.js config=config_vista.js BUT ... It is not working. The specified options and config files are not loafing as expected. Am I missing something with the command line options?

Just checked the eventlogs and the following appears evrytime I run the file ... Faulting application mshta.exe, version 7.0.6000.16386, time stamp 0x4549b0fb, faulting module nvtrpdemux.ax, version 4020.185.0.0, time stamp 0x4354298b, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x000013f4, process id 0x133c, application start time 0x01c7eeb31c35ed11.

I have been using WPIW for quite a while now - A couple of months ago, I upgraded to Vista. Today, I decided to edit my scripts to update them BUT ... When I click on open for wpi.hta I now get an error that I cannot seem to get around: Unable to open registry key "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Setup\Sourcepath" for reading. Anyone have any ideas for me? Thank you.

I should also mention - Burn the directory to CD and run it - Immediate and no issue?

No difference but I was following the task- MSHTA.EXE takes up an initial 24Mb RAM and increments upwards to about 27Mb and uses 25% consistent CPU. The CPU may be one processor as I have a quad core. Eventually the error comes up: 'Glossy theme does not exist. Switching to glossy, the default theme." Click on OKay and the same message comes up again. Click on okay again and the final error "Glossy theme could not be loaded. Re Install the theme". Click on Okay and it closes. I copy the directory over to my computer and viola - No errors and immediate load. Could IE7 be interfering? At first I though Anti-Virus but even when turned off and no firewalls in place - Exact same issue.

I don't think I was explicit enough - My apologies - What I am getting at - If your script includes installation files such as ad-aware, adobe etc, do they somehow get read into memory or do the installation files get verified before the interface loads? I am trying to figure out WHY it would be so slow on a network connection?

A 100 Mbit connection so definitely not a speed issue. The config only has about 30 entries so is small in comparrison. When the program loads - Does it read into memory all the programs etc in the config file?

Something interesting - I just the famed 'White Screen". Your batch file does seem to work though ... Thank you for that. In reading the forums I saw mention that IE7 causes the white screen and that WPI will evenutally come up - TRUE, it does BUT ... Here is the real kicker: If I run WPI from any local drive - It is instantaneous, comes right up with no issues. If run from any mapped network drive - Anywhere from 2-10 minutes to come up? Is this a bug in the program that it will only recognize a set range of Drive Letters such as c-f or something?

I had already read that particular topic and was hoping that there was a way to do it but all the commands there are not Windows based so do not run when running from a Windows share. Unless you might now of a Windows based equivalent batch file - Otherwise I will just have to revert back to my non-gui days and figure it out

I am trying to run WPI from a network drive but just get a white screen UNLESS ... I first map the network drive. Is there any way to run it from a UNC without having to map a network drive?
