Just an idea ... I downloaded from your website thinking it would be the latest version ... but it´s hard to say ... without buildnumbers (*hint*hint* ) Bye, Alex

Hey Benjamin, well, if I have this in my install.ini: it should set Basisordner to the Personal folder, right ? You fixed this a few days ago I think but in your latest version, Basisordner is empy again ... ( see pic ) Bye, Alex

Hey Benjamin, is it possible that your latest version has this "Homepath" bug again which you just fixed ? Seems to not work anymore here .... Bye, Alex

Hey Alanoll, no problem. I hope you can find a solution. It´s defintely not working here ( playing wav´s for instance ) Just let me know if you find something ! Bye, Alex

Thanks for your explanation ! Bye, Alex

Hi my2001!I understand ! Thanks for your explanation. Haven´t thought about this yet. I wish more software developers would install for all users by default. Are you really really doing this yourself ? I know of course that it would be better to work with restricted rights but there are far too many problems currently with different applications so it is a real pain to do this. Also, since I am the only user on my PC I like to do all kinds of administrative tasks while doing other stuff on my PC so I would need to constantly switch between Administrator and User account. Not really my idea of working with a PC. Security is important and I do whatever I can but I don´t want to restrict my rights while I am doing stuff on my PC. Things are different for companies or more public PC´s, I agree. Ciao, Alex

Hi Benjamin, I am confused! First, why this change ? Second, if users.ini contains this code for user 0: Group.0=1 he should be part of the Administrators group and not become a limited user after first logon. Or what do you mean by "Primary user" ? Bye, Alex

Hey my2001! I did read the guide and of course I know about the need to add REGISTRY tweaks that should affect all future users during the T13/12 stage. But you do not need Wihu for this. A simple Regedit /s called from commandlines.txt will do the same. I do not understand the advantage of installing all your software at that early stage or even worse, add users at that stage ... that makes no sense to me, but I am sure you can explain your reasons behind that Bye, Alex

What exactly is wrong with "Standardsystembenutzer" as it is now ? I also agree with my2001: Calling it "Hauptbenutzer" is very misleading and will only add to the confusion most people experience with the Administrator account and the Administrators group ...

Told ya T13/12 stage is too early hehe I don´t even understand why you would want to run Wihu at that early state ... what´s the advantage compared to running it from runonceex ? Bye, Alex

@booster: Mhh, then do it that way ! It should work if you call Wihu in runonceex.cmd at the very top and then do all your installing from within Wihu. You just should NOT call Wihu from cmdlines.txt directly. At least thats what I thought you did before or did I misunderstand you there ? Bye, Alex

Hi Benjamin, mhh, it still does not work though. But maybe I am doing something wrong. This is my install.ini now: [Environment] Personal=D:\%ThisUser% My Video=D:\%ThisUser%\Eigene Videos My Music=D:\%ThisUser%\Eigene Musik My Pictures=D:\%ThisUser%\Eigene Bilder Favorites=D:\%ThisUser%\Favoriten [users] DefaultHome=%Personal% But it is not working. "Basisordner" in Wihu is still empty. Am I doing something wrong ? Thanks, Alex

@Booster: I may be mistaken but I think Wihu is not a tool to be called at this early stage in a Windows installation. The reason for this is the fact that Wihu is not fully automatic installing or adding users. There is some user input required so I would call it semiqutomatic. I guess there are two ways to call Wihu. ( there may be more but those 2 come to mind currently ): 1. Calling Wihu after Administrator login instead of using the runonceex process. This means that you call Wihu in runonceex.cmd (which is called in cmdlines.txt) and use it to install your software semiautomatic. 2. Calling Wihu after the runonceex process finished and right before Windows Installation is over. This means that you also call Wihu in runonceex.cmd but at the end of the installation process just to add additional software to install or add users. I do it like this: I install all my necessary programs using runonceex so they get installed first, then, after cleanup I call Wihu to add users. That way, all my programs are installed and Wihu is the end of the installation process. I may add Software which I don´t want installed on all PC´s to Wihu because with Wihu it is possible to choose which software is getting installed but currently I am not doing this. So my installation looks like this: cmdlines.txt [COMMANDS] "REGEDIT /S regtweaks.reg" "REGEDIT /S computertweaks.reg" "REGEDIT /S RunOnceUser.reg" "RunOnceEx.cmd" "RunOnceUser.cmd" RunOnceEx.cmd cmdow @ /HID @echo off SET CDROM=%CD:~0,2% SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installiere Anwendungen" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Chipsatztreiber Installationsversuch" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\install\Intel\Setup.exe -INTELIDE -s" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 2 /D "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\install\Via\Setup.exe -s" /f REG ADD %KEY%\006 /VE /D "Microsoft NET Framework 1.1" /f REG ADD %KEY%\006 /V 1 /D "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\install\Framework\netfx.msi /qb" /f REG ADD %KEY%\016 /VE /D "Diverse Microsoft Powertoys" /f REG ADD %KEY%\016 /V 1 /D "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\install\TweakUI.msi /qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\016 /V 2 /D "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\install\SlideshowPowertoySetup.exe /s /v\"ALLUSERS=2 /qn\"" /f REG ADD %KEY%\016 /V 3 /D "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\install\HtmlgenPowertoySetup.exe /s /v\"ALLUSERS=2 /qn\"" /f REG ADD %KEY%\016 /V 4 /D "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\install\ImageResizerPowertoySetup.exe /s /v\"ALLUSERS=2 /qn\"" /f REG ADD %KEY%\018 /VE /D "Sun Java 1.4.2.04" /f REG ADD %KEY%\018 /V 1 /D "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\install\java14204.exe /s /v/qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\019 /VE /D "Winrar 3.3" /f REG ADD %KEY%\019 /V 1 /D "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\install\Winrar\wrar33d_se.exe /s" /f REG ADD %KEY%\022 /VE /D "Ahead Nero 6.3.1.17 inkl.

Hi Benjamin, Yeah, I think I found a bug. Currently, DefaultHome variable in Environment section of install.ini is not working.I have set it like this: [Environment] Personal=D:\%ThisUser% DefaultHome=%Personal% but it does not appear under "Basisordner" anymore ( see pic ) and seemingly it is not being used because after the new installation, homepath und homedrive still point to C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen. Thanks, I hope there will be a lot of names to mention there ! Bye, Alex

Hey Benjamin, website is working again here and I did send a small amount. Not much but it´ll buy you a few beer Keep on with your work. I am sure many people here appreciate it very much ! Bye, Alex

Hi RaveRod, How ? Thanks, Alex

Not from my location it isn´t. I tried ipconfig /flushdns but the website is still not accessible.

Hey Alanoll, maybe just a configuration problem .... but I observed that when setting Xaudio=1 and not mentioning any other Xaudio children, some of the children do not get installed. My ini is as follows: [Setup] Xlibrary=1 Xintex=1 Xmodernskin=1 Xaudio=1 Xextra=1 Xregopt=1 XStartmenu=0 XNAME=xxx XKEY=xxx Now, according to your explanation on this thread this means that all the children of Xaudio should be installed. Yet, after installation there is no option in Winamp to play wav, voc, etc. files and Winamp also did not register itself to play those files (icons of wav files still have Windows media player icon ) Also I am not really sure if the sonic engine has been installed because I think this always appeared as an output plugin but since installing with your msi it is not there anymore. By the way ... is there a way to enable a few settings by default like for instance the setting to play audio CD´s or to be always connected to the internet ? Those are disabled by default after installation with your msi. Thanks for your help ! Bye, Alex

Benjamin, since I got paid few days ago just wanted to donate some money but your website is down again ... could you post your account details here please ? Thanks, Alex PS: I would also think that environment variables on page two of Wihu are not that important ( at least to me ). But maybe you could add small buttons to the "Benutzerkonten" section in addition to the right click context menu which doe the same ( show settings of the user and add new user ) but would be easier for someone who uses Wihu the first time and is not that experienced.

gay meaning happy, I hope ?

No, not yet unfortunately. It is just a GF5700 .. Well considering the fact that SP2 final was released today I will probably not have a chance to install 61.76 drivers silently if Windows SP2 contains the 61.77 drivers ... Well, I guess I will have to wait for a future NVIDIA driver. But thanks for your help ! Bye, Alex

prathapml, thats interesting. But if Microsoft is using the latest NVIDIA drivers, why don´t they include the control panel and advanced options the original drivers have ? Mhh, but SP2 RC2 cannot possible have 62.77 drivers so the only thing that might put Windows off is the missing WHQL signation. But the driver version should definitely be higher and I have the following in winnt.sif, so it should take the new driver, no ? Bye, Alex

Hey Alanoll, whatever you did, it worked. Problem is solved now, thanks ! Bye, Alex

Hi Alanoll, well, I don´t know what else to tell you, I already gave you the content of my ini I think ? So I tried it again. I downloaded your msi again just now ( it says updated 8/2 ), installed it using this code: D:\Alexander\Installation\MultiBootDVD\AIO-DVD\SETUP\Winamp\winamp.msi /qb ini=D:\Alexander\Installation\MultiBootDVD\AIO-DVD\SETUP\Winamp\winamp.ini My ini looks like this: [Setup] Xlibrary=1 Xintex=1 Xmodernskin=1 Xaudio=1 Xextra=1 Xregopt=1 XStartmenu=0 XNAME=xxxx XKEY=xxxx ... And the same thing happens as before. When I rightclick on a musicfolder and choose " Play in Winamp" then only the names of the folders appears and nothing else happens. I tried with various folders, even folders with just one word. If I drag and drop the folder onto Winamp, then everything behaves normal, winamp plays the files ok. Also, everything works fine after installing with the official Winamp installer. By the way, I tried with either DirectSound, Waveout or Asio plugin output ... And I am using Windows XP SR2 RC2 in case that matters .... Bye, Alex

Just came to my mind ... I used the international version. I might give the English version a try as a last resort ...
