  1. If WSIM asks for a WIM file, point it to your Windows 7 installer (probably a DVD), \sources\install.wim. Once WSIM can read this WIM file, it will magically see a whole tree of stuff that will show up in the bottom left pane ("Windows Image") of WSIM. You then need to carefully pick certain items and add them to specific stages of the "Answer File" section. This will cook an xml file for you.
  2. Hi guys I'm have succeeded in automatically installing printers with WPI, by using vbscript. I also want to configure default options (Duplex feature) on some printers. And finally, I want newly created user account to already have a preference to print duplex on those. To do this last step, I needed to run multiple REG IMPORT commands, so I created a batchfile: REG IMPORT "%WPIPATH%\Install\Printer Scripts\PrintersConfig.reg" REG IMPORT "%WPIPATH%\Install\Printer Scripts\UserPrefs_HKCU.reg" REG LOAD HKEY_USERS\Default_User "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\ntuser.dat" REG IMPORT "%WPIPATH%\Install\Printer Scripts\UserPrefs_Default_User.reg" REG UNLOAD HKEY_USERS\Default_User This batchfile itself is run from WPI as: "%wpipath%\Install\Printer scripts\CustomConfig.bat" However, the %wpipath% variable is not available in my batch file... I solved it by calling it with wpipath as first argument: "%wpipath%\Install\Printer scripts\CustomConfig.bat" %wpipath% and then using %1 in my batch file: REG IMPORT "%1\Install\Printer Scripts\PrintersConfig.reg" REG IMPORT "%1\Install\Printer Scripts\UserPrefs_HKCU.reg" REG LOAD HKEY_USERS\Default_User "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\ntuser.dat" REG IMPORT "%1\Install\Printer Scripts\UserPrefs_Default_User.reg" REG UNLOAD HKEY_USERS\Default_User This works fine but I wonder if it is the Right Way...
  3. I have a copy of WPI sitting on my disk. I have VMware workstation 6.0.4 running, so that I can start out with a fresh copy of XP without any apps. In VMware, I host the host-guest file system to access a folder on my host disk. In the VM, you connect to that like this: \\.host\Shared Folders\ When I use this way to browse to my WPI folder the actual path used is this: \\.host\Shared Folders\D\Software\WPI When I then open WPI.hta I get this errors: 'Windows' theme does not exist. Switching to Windows, the default theme. I click OK. Same error again. I click OK. The 'Windows' theme could not be loaded. Please re-install the theme. I click OK. WPI quits. However! If I map the network drive to let's say Z: and then access WPI: Z:\D\Software\WPI then everything works like a charm. It looks like WPI chokes on the UNC path with a dot in it? Have just tried it out via Remote Desktop mapped folder (i.e. \\tsclient\D\wpi ), and that also fails with the same error. Thanks!!!
