Ahh okay, thanks for helping me out. Now I certainly know not to use brackets in these file names. I found out that your start command would actually also work with some moidification. {START} cmd /c "%wpipath%\..." But its much easier code when skipping brackets.

I just tried your code, it opens a command prompt but dosen't execute the bat file, any idea?

You probably need some more files (if you want to run the batch file). The bat file runs fine here btw. 7-Zip-(32-bit).txt

here it is: config.js

I have downloaded the latest WPI but I get some wiered results when running my test app. When I run it from the desktop, %temp%, %systemdrive% it gives the error: command 1 failed. I have tried with running as admin as well as folders without spaces and with spaces, all gives the same result. But if I run the same thing inside %programfiles% it will work and have success on install. I have tried on windows 7 x64, x32 and xp same result. Is there a way to make the WPI work from any folder?

Anyone got a method to install version 4.x with his method? When I edit as told (and exchange 3.0 with 4.0) , it gives errors when compiling the script. Would be nice to know if anyone got a solution to silent install ConvertXtoDVD. I figured it out, the error was because "{code:GetVideoStandard}" need to be replaced with "vs_forcepal" OR "vs_forcentsc" (Use PAL or NTSC)

When I run this in windows 7 x64, I get this error: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/LoH9drjeUuAOZlubhNPA70uc3U4kJO_gt3-dTBRcFic?feat=directlink Anyone know if you need too install any software to make it work? I get no error in windows xp, but in windows 7 I get that error just when It reads the database.

have you tried too search through google? It doesn't looks like, as it can answer all your questions regardless silent/unattended install of certain software. Another good software to find out is "Universal silent switch finder".

Right now I cannot access the files from WPI website: http://www.wpiw.net/ could someone upload the original 8.1.0 WPI. Thanks

Thanks both of you CoffeeFiend and mritter you are great. In the end what solve the issue for me was the one provided by CoffeeFiend. It works and does the jobs thanks for pointing it out. Unfortunately the method by mritter worked great on windows xp, vista and windows 7 x86. But on my windows 7 x64 it didn't work for me (but on mritter's windows 7 x64 it worked). I don't know why, but this method by CoffeeFiend worked on all editions I tried (windows 7 x86, x64, windowws xp and vista when I tested it). Thank you both nontheless for solving this issue you are great!

I'm not so used to javascript (I can read it and do some editing) but have no idea if I should code it up myself. Could you explain which lines should be replaced in which files for this to work? Thanks alot for your kindness to help and figuring this out. I am really greatful for both your help.

That is correct, that is the way I understand it too. in alt+G if true = online in alt+G if false = offline WPI > options > features > "Allow check for Internet Connection". This one needs to be checked right? correct

So WPI is kinda bugged ATM when checking connection to the internet? I have tried on fresh install serial times now, with windows xp, windows 7 x32 and windows 7 x64. All have samme issue as mentioned above, maybe you can look into it or know a solution (I have tried what you said but it does not solve the issue unfortunately).

It still doesn't work in virtual machine or in different folders. Then I tried disable internet - disable LAN, unplug cable so no connection on main pc and in my virtual machine all connection is disconnected. I started all over. Downloaded fresh, and nothing have been changed by me. Copy it to my virtual machine. Then I start wpi - internet connection - true go to options - features - "allow check for internet connection" - alt+G - internet - false. But now when I close wpi and start it again and alt+G - internet connection - true. Here it should have said false instead. Then I try edit api.js as u mentioned. where I replace // if (AllowCheckForInternet) // CheckForInternet(); with this: if (AllowCheckForInternet) CheckForInternet(); start WPI - internet connection - true I don't see why it don't work on my main or in virtual machine. I have now tried different combinations but none seems to work everytime. If it works internet connection should say false and not true. I have tried in windows xp and windows 7. I have restarted my PC and virtual machine and that doesn't help either. Its strange that it doesn't work the way it should

I got it figured out after a few tries. Thanks for your help. Unfortunately it didn't solve the issue. Not when moving the folder or try again elsewhere on the PC.

it say's false after uncommenting // if (AllowCheckForInternet) // CheckForInternet(); I get: Internet Connection - true But if I unplug my ethernet cable and start wpi again it still say's Internet Connection - true. if it does make any difference, i'm running windows 7 x64.

I have been trying to use ConnectedToInternet() and the suggestions in this thread: But it doesn't work. I have tried using both ConnectedToInternet() and !ConnectedToInternet() ConnectedToInternet()="true", ConnectedToInternet(true) and ConnectedToInternet("true ") do I need to enable something in WPI to get it to work? In wpi > settings > general > allow check for internet connection is checked. When I use !ConnectedToInternet() in exclude the item becomes gray with internet access and without internet access. It is as if wpi don't see my internet as it doesn't make any difference. Hope you can help me out solving this issue. Btw. great work with WPI its really an awesome work.

Ahh yeah forgot you can do that with dism , I will look into this and hope it solves the issue . Thanks for your help

Yes I am also using DISM, but mostly from command line. I am enabling some features like netframwork etc. (from the xml file) Which features do you want me to disable? Thank you for wanting to help me

I have made a autounattended.xml for a multiboot windows 7 x86/x64 and server 2008 r2. I have tested this Image many times.

x86 and x64 will have error at the end of the install because they don't have the component (features) which gets enabled in <servicing>. This part is needed for server 2008 R2 which installs fine. When I take out the <servicing> part everything is fine when installing windows 7. My question is, is there a way around to get windows 7 x86/x64 and server 2008 R2 unattended install with the services enabled. An solution I would think was good if its possible (I unfortunately dunno which code to write), would be to make the <servicing> part only run if windows server 2008 r2 was selected and otherwise ignored by windows 7. The last 2 weeks I have been searching with google, msfn, and many other sites which write about unattended setups, unattended.xml, autounattended.xml, <servicing> etc. But I haven't found someone who did have a similiar situation. I hope u can guide me to help me solve this problem. In code I would do something like this (I know this cannot be used in the xml file but I think u get the idea where I want to head as a suggestion). Take this as an illustration. if %winOS% == "server 2008 R2" Then <servicing> . . . </servicing> endif

okay thanks. Is it this thread you where thinking of?:

I have read many topic's, used google search and allot of manual effort to try and get this working but I can't figure it out. Is there any guide to make this posible? I know vista/7 is possible, both x86 and x64. But the problem is adding windows xp to this multiboot USB/DVD. Space is no problem for me. But I would like to have all 3 OS's on a USB to make it quick to reinstall windows without fiddling with DVD's because they get scratched and are slower than USB. I hope someone already got a solution and would point me in the right direction. thank you in advance PS is it possible to make windows xp as a .WIM image and that way add it to the install .WIM where both vista and 7 will be?

Another feature I think of is when you have done the todo list (I know it won't be soon I asume), but you could expand your work to also work with server 2008 r2 as its the counter part to windows 7 just server side. I don't know if its already works, but its what came to my mind

Can u start the WPI through a batch file? If yes, then you could mount the image and inside the folder: %systemdrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup you can place the batch file. Remember to make a line where you gonna delete this batch file or else it will start after every reboot. For instance me, I made a shortcut and placed that in this folder. Then the original batch file is inside %windir%\install and the last line in the batch file I remove the shortcut (install.cmd.lnk) in my case.

I just noticed a spelling mistake. Its in the menu: Tweaks > System > "Disable autumatic restart on system failure" it must be "automatic"
