Got the new version. Am I the only one still having problems with registry dependencies, not graying out installed apps? The file, folder and architecutre dependencies work great (I haven't tried the others). But registry keys are a no-go. I've tried this feature on all sorts of PCs. I've got admin rights. I've run WPI from a CD and a harddrive. There must be some reason this feature isn't working. I've got 64-bit Windows Ultimate. As a test, I tried: RegKeyExists("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folder") this is how the code looks in the config.js file: prog[pn]=['Shell Folders']; uid[pn]=['SHELLFOLDERS']; dflt[pn]=['no']; forc[pn]=['no']; bit64[pn]=['yes']; cat[pn]=['Customizer']; pfro[pn]=['no']; cmds[pn]=['{REGEDIT} "%wpipath%\\Install\\Regs\\ShellFolders.reg"']; gcond[pn]=['RegKeyExists("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Shell Folder")']; desc[pn]=['Shell Folders']; pn++; The entry is not greyed out even though the key exists in my registry.

I'm still perplexed about my inability to get WPI to recognize registry keys that have been installed by apps. I had one other thought: I copy WPI from my install CD to my hard drive, and then run it. Would that make a difference? I'm running WPI version 8.1.0

I have experienced same problem and was never able to ID the cause. As a bandage, I made a context menu entry to start and stop the printer spooler by right-clicking on the desktop. Autoscript code: RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c net stop spooler') RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c net start spooler') And here's the registry code to launch the script from the desktop right-click menu REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DesktopBackground\Shell\Spooler] "Icon"="c:\\PATH2ICON\\Printer.ico" "Position"="Top" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DesktopBackground\Shell\Spooler\command] @="C:\\PATH2AUTOIT SCRIPT\\PrintSpooler.au3"

I finally figured out the issue. In the config file WPI was putting an extra space between the last double slash and "Red.cur" as shown below. I've also noticed this occasionally happening on other entries but usually when I close WPI and reopen it, there will be an error message pointing to the line error. Anyway, thanks for the help. prog[pn]=['Cursors']; uid[pn]=['CURSORS']; dflt[pn]=['no']; forc[pn]=['no']; bit64[pn]=['yes']; cat[pn]=['Customizer']; cmds[pn]=['{REGEDIT} "%wpipath%\\Install\\MySetup\\Cursors.reg"']; gcond[pn]=['RegKeyValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Control Panel\\Cursors\\Arrow")=="F:\\1SYSTEM\\1cons\\Cursors\\ Red.cur"']; desc[pn]=['Cursors']; pn++;

Thanks.

Am I to understand from this thread, that you can set a PC's IP and DNS settings for individual users? If so, can you set different grayed out or check box settings on the install menu for each user? That is, when you launch WPI and choose a user created from the Network settings tab, does that not only set IP, DNS and computer name but also show an install menu unique for that user?

Thanks for catching the mistake, mritter. But I corrected it and my cursor registry entry is still not greyed out on the main menu even though it's been installed. Consider this thread closed. It's a bug I can't quash.

Nope. Doesn't work when putting registry entries in either the "conditions" or "greyed conditions" field. If that's what you mean by opposite effect. Also, I assume registry condition will accept keys other than HKCU, like HKLM? Again, my issue is that when I put any entry other than registry in greyed out condition, the application install is indeed greyed out. With registry entries, nothing changes, like the entry, below: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Cursors] @="" "Scheme Source"=dword:00000000 "Arrow"="F:\\1SYSTEM\\1cons\\Cursors\\Red.cur" This is what I have tried under both "conditions" and "greyed condition." RegKeyValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Cursors")=="F:\1SYSTEM\1cons\Cursors\Red.cur"

Both "Registry Key" and "Registry Value" don't grey out installed applications with the registry keys I want recognized. Most of the other dependency stuff I've tried (File, Folder, Version, bits, etc.) works but not the registry. Is this a bug? And yes, I searched this topic but didn't find any discussion of it. Thanks.

Thansk!

OK I love WPI, but it's more than 20mb now!!! How can I slim it down? FYI I don't need audio, ussf, only the livesstrong theme, no help, only default resolution and only English language. Thanks.

After I issue the command.. C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k %windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f ..is there anyway to avoid rebooting to disable user account controls and starting WPI without UAC interferring?
