Thanks for the reply, I was beginning to wonder if I was just experiencing a quirk and gave up on working with 4.4 I will give this a shot. Thanks again!

Thanks for the reply, I was able to resolve my issue without the use of a reboot. The service wasn't neccessary for proper program execution but more of a convenience feature so I just told the installer not to start it.

Thanks alot, that works like a charm. I decided to replace the iTunes I got from the original poster and use this instead because I was getting the .msi pop-p occasionally when installing additional software.

Does anyone still have the files linked in the original post? They have been removed due to inactivity and I would really like to use them. Thanks

Anyone?

Hello, I am trying to install GFI LanGuard Network Security Scanner via WPI. I had to repackage the installer because I couldn't get it to go silently and didn't want to use autoit. It installs fine, except that it needs a reboot to create a service. I have a .cmd file that accomplishes this via RunOnceEx. See below. Followup.cmd cmdow @ /HID @echo off IF EXIST D:\autorun.inf set CDROM=D: IF EXIST E:\autorun.inf set CDROM=E: IF EXIST F:\autorun.inf set CDROM=F: IF EXIST G:\autorun.inf set CDROM=G: IF EXIST H:\autorun.inf set CDROM=H: IF EXIST I:\autorun.inf set CDROM=I: IF EXIST J:\autorun.inf set CDROM=J: SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\postinstall\Security\GFI\postinstall.cmd" /f shutdown -r -f -t 0 Postinstall.cmd cmdow @ /HID @echo off net user LNSS_MONITOR_USR password sc config "GFI LANguard N.S.S. 7.0 Attendant Service" password= password If I test this install all by itself on a fresh Windows install, it works just fine after reboot. But I am trying to have this happen through WPI and I have it set as a dependancy of the GFI application and have the install order set to 9999 so it the last thing in RunOnceEx. Postinstall.cmd gets added to RunOnceEX but it gets executed before the reboot. I thought that setting the shutdown command to happen immediately would prevent that, but it just doesn't seem to work the way I want it to. Can anyone give me any tips on how I can get this working. Thanks.

Has anyone else recieved this particular error while testing 4.4rc1? I opened generate.js to see what was on that line and there is nothing, it is right after it is supposed to launch ktool. I verified that I have all the files on the DVD. And while in Windows a test run using the example config.js launches just fine.

I have a silent install of CloneDVD2 that works just fine. The only problem I have come across is that I can't seem to get the same registry settings to apply to every new user on the system. I want to disable the autoupdate check and have the registry setting to do so, but it seems that by putting the entry under the HK_USERS\.DEFAULT key that it ignores it because it seems to recreate the settings under HK_CURRENT_USER for every new user who logs in. Can anyone help? Thanks

Will this work if you give just some of the apps numbers? I have about 3 things I would like to run at the very end and those are the only ones that I care about the order other than dependencies.

I am trying to finish up my WPI app menu and I am having a small problem with Office 2003 that I hope is solvable. I have created .MST files for each seperate application so that the user may choose just that specific application to install instead of the whole suite. I would like to use it this way so that I can use the whole suite at work while using Word only at home and another email client instead of Outlook. Anyway, when attempting to install these seperately either via WPI or command line after the install has finished, they install fine, but I get prompted for the Office 2003 CD when trying to run them for the first time. The only app that runs right will be the last one installed, usually Word but have tested with other installation configs such as Access and Excel, Excel runs fine but Access prompts for the CD. I am assuming this is because each app wants to set itself up for the current user profile. Has anyone else tried this method or had this particular problem? EDIT: Let me add that by using the .MST files, after the 1st install I couldn't install the other apps silently as the install would crap out. After not doing them silently I found it was running in maintenance mode asking if I wanted to Add or Remove, Reinstall or Repair, or Uninstall. I then switched to using Installrite and creating install kits. These install fine but give me the afformentioned problem. Sorry for initially leaving that detail out. Thanks Imthemp3king

Does anyone else have trouble using this switch? I have my license key that I have tried entering with and without quotes to no avail. But when it asks me if I would like to register and I enter it in the registration box, it works just fine.

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking. Can you give me an example?

The code I posted worked for you?

Have you run this during an unattended setup? I just tried running it again after editing it yo use a single % instead of a double and it did not change the server name. I can run this same exact .cmd file on Windows 2000 Server without issue, but Windows 2003 seems to not want to execute this for some reason. Now I just edited the file and ran it from a command prompt and it runs without error, with double %'s, but does not change the server name. This is what the .cmd file looks like cmdow @ /HID ECHO.
