it's a very good news i'll do as you said and will have you informed

no i'm using it on XP. i didn't modify anything, actually both systems are completely identical in softwares (os and other settings) but the hardwares are different. the only thing i could think of was that maybe windows uses mshta.exe in different ways for different CPUs or mainboard's chipsets because it doesn't create the CMD file (WPI_DebuggerRestart.cmd) in my system at all. i searched for it my entire windows drive ! this is my batch file : ----------------------------- @echo off reg delete hkcu\software\WPI /f IF NOT EXIST %windir%\system32\mykrnl.exe goto ext FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\cd.drv SET CDROM=%%i: %CDROM%\WPI\WPI.hta options=useroptions2.js config=config2.js :ext exit ----------------------------- however when i load it with a simple command like G:\WPI\WPI.hta options=useroptions2.js config=config2.js it doesn't work either. it's a little weird that it just loses the config file not both.

thanks I'll wait for your answer

yes your right it works fine in my computer too, but i tested it again in another computer with the option you mentioned ([-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WPI]). it deletes the wpi key successfully but as i expected it loaded the config.js again not the config2.js i found a cmd in the %temp% folder on the test system that wasn't created in my system's temp folder by wpi, it was "WPI_DebuggerRestart.cmd" and the contents were : "G:\WPI\Tools\Sleep.exe" -m 1500 C:\WINDOWS\system32\mshta.exe "G:\WPI\wpi.hta" options=G:\WPI\WPIScripts\useroptions2.js i tried to add "config=G:\WPI\WPIScripts\config2.js" at the end of it and run it again but it removed the "config" switch and the result was the same. the system i'm trying to test on has an intel cpu p4 3.2GHz and my system is an AMD phenom 9550 i remember i've tried it on an AMD X2 5200 also and it wasn't working too. could it be because of the cpu or something like that ? i know you may think this is probably my mistake on something else but i've tried to make everything identical. even everytime i install windows again but the same method works different on different systems ! also i found that when the wpi wants to load, a white window comes and goes and after one or two seconds it appears again and the wpi runs. i remember in the old versions it wasn't like that. Maybe i'm wrong but i think the second time the "WPI_DebuggerRestart.cmd" loads and that makes the problem ! can you please help me to find the solution ?

ok. i'm sending it now thank you Edit: i've sent them to your email

yes your right, that should work. when i saw it's loading the old config i found out that it should keep the address somewhere and i found it but even when i deleted it (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WPI), sometimes it was working and sometimes in some computers not ! also i found out that when i load it with my command (i mentioned above) sometimes it creates a CMD in %temp% that had a command like this : %systemroot%\system32\mshta.exe options=useroptions2.js it wasn't pointing any config file so i think the problem happens there. i should mention that it's working in my system very well without any trouble but when i install a new windows in another system with the same method and i try to run wpi it runs normally but after that when i locate the useroption2 and config2 with the commands it just doesn't work and just loads the old config file. otherwise if i can use the second way (what i asked in my third post) i think that should be solved. is there anyway to do that ? i really appreciate your help, thank you

still no answer ? at least tell me if i add a couple of configurations to "List of configuration choices" part of the options>general tab, is it possible to force some items from the application list in the first one and disable them in the second one ? or the "force" is absolute for all configurations ? please help me !

hi you can disable UAC for your account under user account control panel. i don't know german so i don't know what the error is saying but i think this error happens because the files (history.js and rb_config.js) exist in your C:\ drive you should delete them first. i hope this help. B)

i finally solved it. i loaded wpi.hta by using a batch file and forced desktop not to load until my batch file process exists. anyway thanks

i don't know the error but i had almost same problems once and i decided to reinstall my windows. after that the problem solved. also upgrading to new version would definitely help you.

is there any way to disable some of the applications for a special config if i use multi configuration in general tab ?

Hi I have two useroptions and two config in my wpiscripts folder. the first ones are useroptions.js & config.js and the second ones are useroptions2.js & config2.js i was recently using wpi 7.2.2 . when i wanted to load wpi, as i expected, it loaded the first ones but the next time i wanted to load wpi with the command line you mentioned in manual, it wasn't working perfectly i mean sometimes in some computers it loads the first ones and in some other computers with (i think) the same settings it loads the second ones. i upgraded to wpi 7.3 to fix it but the problem still remains. i should mention that the first time i load wpi is the first time windows loads after finishing setup with RunOnceExe. and also i've tried these command lines to load wpi with the second useroptions and config files : (CDROM has been set to CD drive) %CDROM%\WPI\WPI.hta options=useroptions2.js config=config2.js %CDROM%\WPI\WPI.hta options=%CDROM%\WPI\WPIScripts\useroptions2.js config=%CDROM%\WPI\WPIScripts\config2.js %CDROM%\WPI\WPI.hta options=.\WPIScripts\useroptions2.js config=.\WPIScripts\config2.js and some others ... please help me if i'm doing something wrong ?

thanks Kelsenellenelvian. yes i've read it before but they're not working because i think the RunWPI.exe tries to find the wpi.hta in it's own drive and it cannot find it because it is now in " C:\$WIN_NT$.~LS\$OEM$ " folder and wpi.hta is in the CD drive. i tried to load it in RunOnceEx.cmd by the commands you mentioned in the manual, but i couldn't stop desktop from loading. can you tell me how to do it ?

thanks os2fan2 for your help but the /tempdrive cannot force setup not to ask "where to install ?", i tried it before. but i solved this problem with /makelocalsource and it's working perfect, except for running WPI. if i find a way to load wpi in the first login before desktop loads, that will be finished. the tools they gave for loading wpi are not working with this method. i'm working on it. i will let you know if i find the way, and i will appreciate if someone help me to solve this. B)

i tried to load wpi.hta by RunOnceEx.cmd but the desktop loads when it runs. can you tell me how to stop desktop from loading ?

hi I recently upgraded to wpi 7.2.2 and really liked the changes you made to it. also i upgraded the $oem$ to use RunWPI_Zune.exe it works perfect but when i load windows setup with " winnt32.exe /makelocalsource " switch, it doesn't copy the contents of the $oem$ folder and accordingly doesn't run the wpi in the first login. i copied the $oem$ folder contents to the " $WIN_NT$.~LS\$OEM$ " folder and reinstalled the windows but in the first login it said it couldn't find "c:\wpi\wpi.hta" ! I know i can copy the wpi folder to the systemdrive but i don't want to because it needs more space on the drive and also gets more time. is there another way to load wpi.hta from the CD/DVD drive ?

i made a batch file that runs at the first login and deletes everything unnecessary including the folders i mentioned above. but i had to change the name of the windows and documents folders in my unattend.txt to be able to delete the old ones ! by the way, i hope this method be helpful for other users interested in unattended setup. good luck

thanks deadbug i was thinkin' how lonely i am till you answered . the reason i can't wait for the answer is that i really need it "emergency". your right about the risk of this method but i know what i'm doing, i have it under control B) i will appreciate if you introduce me to someone pro who can help me. thanks again.

how come whenever i ask a question no one answers me ? i asked another question 16 days ago but no one answered, even one "word" ! are they really impossible, or should i invite other users to answer me ? i'm not familiar with the rules around here, please help me !

hi i've made an unattended.txt file to automate the setup using winnt32.exe . i wanted to automate the drive selection part of the text-mode setup. i've set the autopartition=1 and removed filesystem=* from my unattended.txt file. also i tested the " winnt32.exe /syspart:c: /tempdrive:c: " but still it wants me to choose the drive to install. is there any other way to automate it ?

still no answer ? please at least tell me is it possible or not ? Please !!!

Hi i've prepared an unattended wxp sp3. the problem is i want to delete the old "documents and settings" and "program files" and "windows" folders when i run winnt32.exe with unattend switch in the current windows. i've tested everything that i knew including running batch files with .bat or .exe extension in T39 to delete or rename these folders also changing txtsetup.sif to delete them. the only thing that worked was renaming "program files" in T39 with an converted batch file (exe). Does anyone know how to do it ? thanks in advance

i don't know how to thank you ! you really saved me mritter

still no one has the answer ? how can i change the color gospeed ?

you're right gospeed thank you I will wait for your solution mritter but I have a very short time because i have to give a video trailer of my project to my boss and he's not gonna wait that long and i have to do it in the next few hours. i'll be glad to see your comment. anyway thank you both
