This is made in the latest version ( 12-23-2004 on web site ). Note that the option buttom is missing - it kind of screwed everything up. - NOTE ! you can still edit things in "wpiscripts\useroptions" NOTE ! I'll look into getting it back later on. Hopy you like it ! Pezzie

The look of the check boxes are ( as far as i know ) determend by your desktop theme. The buttons are made in simple html ( at least my version ) so i just moved them around. I'll take a look at the latest version and see if i can get the buttons down there again.

@Alanoll I think he has answered with Now back to you blasted: Have you made sure you in your unattended.txt ( or winnt.sif red. ) made sure that you have this line under [unattended]: UnattendSwitch="yes" I know i could have a look at your file - but haven't got the time. Pezzie

This is the most recent from me. Note that this is an old old version ( 2.7 )

This is a change yo make in WPI.hta. You need to find this peice of code: <!-- The exit button. --> <a href="" onMouseDown="document.exitbutton.src='./graphics/exitdown.gif';" onMouseOver="document.exitbutton.src='./graphics/exitover.gif';stm(getText(ttExit),Style[0]);" onMouseOut="document.exitbutton.src='./graphics/exit.gif'; htm()"> <img src="./graphics/exit.gif" align="absmiddle" class="mainbtn" border="0" name="exitbutton" onClick="onExit()"> </img> <font class="side" onClick="onExit()"><b><script>document.write(getText(lblExit));</script></b></font></a> You find this at the bottom of the page. Then cut that out and go up again. Stop when you reach this code: <img src="./graphics/question.gif" align="absmiddle" class="mainbtn" border="0" name="helpbutton" onClick="stopInterval(),alert(getText(txtUsage))"> </img><font class="side" onClick="stopInterval(),alert(getText(txtUsage))"><b><script>document.write(getText(lblHelp));</script></b></font></a><br /> <img src="./graphics/seperator.gif"></img> Then just UNDER the <img src="./graphics/seperator.gif"></img> write <br> and paste what you copied. If you need help just send the WPI.hta to me and i'll do it - takes 2 mins. This is the result:

Here's the new version of my 9-11 WPI. Changes from ver. 1: Move things abit around Changed size of the images Changes made to text color !NOTE! This version will only be fully functional in 1024 * 768 resolution. This is due to the position of the buttons and the check boxes. Hope you like it. Pezzie #This is version 2.7 of WPI done by Gresh and bishooman# Download it here ( english version )

@Astalavista Sry mate - no luck. I belive that i found where the problem might be. All my testing ends when i edit the generate.js - thats the one creating the file to install. Disabling the message before install I can do, but the rest is over my head. I wont generate the file to install anyway. I compared it to my version - but there's to far between. So find someone who really knows js and let them have a look at generate.js. Where theres a problem - theres a solution ( i hope ! )

@bmn I'll get back to you later on with the things you need info on. --> Could you post you wpi here, would like to see the code. @bone - like it - like it alot. I have made some changes to my 911 - will post the new one here shortly.

The line im not sure about - i guess you are using another version than mine. But the text " the installer will ...": If you wanna change this i believe that you should look in the WPI.hta 1/4 down the page - it should stand there. Tip: If you are using notepad or similiar just enter a search on "installer" and it will find the word in the file

@Bmn: to get the installer back you should change the height to around 55 % in the WPI.hta. Look for this: <table class="main" width="80%" height="55%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" onclick=stopInterval() align="left"> <tr><td width="200" valign="bottom"> It comes right after the timer in the file.

Too change the text color you need to change the wpi.css in the "common" dir. Open it in notepad and scroll down. Look for these sections: .txt .main .side In those section you'll find a post called color. Just edit this value ( e.g. for black write: #000000 ) and the tekst will change color. @Bmm: Do you still miss the Exit installer ?

Astalavista - this is made in a speciel way - thats wht it only holds 24 programs. You'll find 48 post in the files - but half is "disable" due to the layout of the WPI. Bmm - hmm I dont miss the Exit installer - what resolution are you screen in - mine is 1024*768. This is what it looks like at my screen. pezzie

I have made a special edition of the WPI installer. Only limitation is the you can just install 24 programs. Its dedicated to those who lost their lives in 9-11. Hope it can be of some help to someone. Find it here ( English download ) Only for a limited period. Pezzie

Nice work Astalavista - how did you get the check boxes to be transparent ?

Nice work Astalavista - how did you get the check boxes to be transparent ?

When you say background ? you mean what and where.

I told you in the PM Astalavista - remember those \\. As for the empty lines - mine works perfectly - even with empty lines. Guess different version mean alot.

Astalavista - see you are using a different veriosn of the WPI then me, so this answer is somewhat based on my version. I dont use REGEDIT /S - never done - never had any problems. As for the pskill - looks fine to me - but dont know why you have cmd /c added. I dont know if this could cause any problems, but anyway. You are using capital letters under yahoo: PSKILL.EXE YPAGER.EXE' Haven't got a clue if this mean anything. As for your problem with the ad-aware: Just make a batch file running the pskill.exe ( both in the same ) and there you have your extra command line. Hope it helps Pezzie

Astalavista - looking really good. Do you still need my files ? @Alanoll: Sorry to p*** you off. But plz relax and see this thread as a help to someone instead of getting all work up over a simple thing. I not quite sure of what you complain about - that i didn't do it your way ( and posted in your thread ) or that i started a thread concerning some problems that you have plans on doing a guide later. Is it the credit or what man - really dont get it ! You keep complaining about no one using the search function - here is just wanted to start a thread with some common or not so common problems which ppl have been dealing with during their work with making their CD. Both to help ppl or to get inspiration from. But hey - like a said earlier - delete the post if you are unhappy. You already changed the title - right ? Pezzie ( out ? )

Sure will do later on today Astalavista

Lets go on with boxes.html: You need to point the stylesheet to common\wpi1.css Change: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../common/wpi.css" /> to <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../common/wpi1.css" /> Now below find and delete this <DIV id="TipLayer" style="visibility:hidden;position:absolute;z-index:1000;top:-100;"> </DIV> Thats pretty much it in boxes.html Finally lets have a look at config.js: At the bottom of the file I removed this: */ Which is placed after the last of your programs. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last notice from me should be that it took me long time to get the window to fit. Before you begin to change these values - be sure that you have ALL the programs you'd want on the CD listed in the config.js the right way. If your frame is to small or to big - simply change it in WPI.hta. But wait with the pictures until you have settle the programs. Hope I haven't missed something - been quite the while since i change it. Cheers Pezzie

A small guide on customizing WPI 2.7 FINAL. ( WPI kan be found using links previously post here ) You'll need to change values in the following files: - WPI.hta - common\wpi.css - wpiscripts\boxes.html - wpiscripts\config.js Everything can be done in Notepad. Lets start with wpi.css: In this file you'll need to change background-color: #5A7EDC; to background:url(1.bmp); <-- or whatever you call your image. Thats all. Now copy wpi.css and paste in the the same dir. Call it wpi1.css. You should now have the following files in wpi\common\ - wpi.css - wpi1.css - 1.bmp <-- the big image - 2.bmp <-- the small image behind the check boxes - main.js - style.js In WPI.hta change the following: This line controls the top of the screen ( in graphics called title ) <img src="./graphics/title.gif" border=0 align="center"></p> I changed this to "tweak" the counter: <input name=display size="4" class="txtboxshow" style="font-size: 24pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; color: #FFFF00; vertical-align: baseline; width:100; height:37"> to <input name=display size="4" class="txtboxshow" style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; color: #3300FF; vertical-align: middle; width:55; height:23"> To change the message displayed when WPI starts to install find and change these lines: name="continuebutton" onClick="window.alert( HERE stands the text you should edit ... STOP before the ! --> !.'); Now go to the bottom and find the <IFRAME>: <IFRAME SRC="./wpiscripts/boxes.html" name="inner" WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="100%" APPLICATION="YES"> </IFRAME> I changed the WiDTH and HEIGHT to WIDTH="70%" HEIGHT="80%" Now you are done with the WPI.hta Read the rest in the next post !

Sure Astalavista I'll even post my files for you to see. A guide will take a while to make - but hey i'll do it. And no you didn't sound rude - just thought i'd a good idea.

I know there is a whole forum for it. I have read the whole sticky or whatever. I have spend many hours looking for these solutions in this forum and i have had many different problems - the whole idea was to gather all those in just one thread. That way you wouldn't have to spend hours looking, but you could go though this thread to see if there was a solution here. Thats all - and ifs that a bad idea - please someone: Delete this thread

Hello I know the title don't say all that much, but i wanna create a thread of solutions to whatever problem you might have encournter during your proces of making an unattended cd. Let me start of this thread by giving some of my problems and how i found a solution to them. Let me point out from the start - many of the solutions here is not mine, but solutions i found during my endless searching in this forum. Problem 1: I wanted to copy over some files, but it never seemed to work. Solution: I found a little guide explaining how to make a selfextracting RAR file. Great little guide - read it here - thx to mazin. Problem 2: I have made a list of applications to be install and wrote a bat file to install it. For me no problem - except the switches sometimes - but when I wanted to use my unattended CD on my wifes computer, I had to remove many programs manually after installing. I needed something where i could select which applications to install. Solution: I found many programs that was great - all collected in thie thread here thx to nOBeLium - but my favorite is defently WPI 2.7 Final. This is - in my mind - the best tool ever made when it comes to unattended install. Find it here. Now I know - what was your problem here mate ? Well actually with WPI i never had any problems that wasn't my fault and all of them came when i tried to customize the program. But let me give you an example of my WPI installer: Problem 3: Making a custom setup screen. This i think has been where i spend most time troubleshooting. I have had problems with the new image instead of the old blue, text color problems, wouldn't copy over my file during install - you name it I had it. Solution: When it looked the worst in came a man whos name is well known by most ppl on this borad - Astalavista. For me it was his help that made my little project work - thx for your help and time Astalavista. Find the wise words and excellent guides here. This is not by far all the problems I have meet on my way - but I'll be back later on to continue this thread. I would like if YOU would write whatever problem you have meet and how you solved it. Thx in advance Pezzie
