Ok sadicq, you again solved the problem. The bug is gone. Now sometimes when I start WPI from CD/DVD, I get the following bug: The error message comes up, when WPI closes and the installer window opens. But it only comes up sometimes, not every time. I think it has to do with the loading from CD, because it takes much longer than from HDD. I already noticed this bug with WPI 5.0. And since WPI 5.0, loading WPI from Disc drive takes much longer than before. I think it is 10-15 seconds. With WPI Lite 1.2 it was about 3 seconds. Now as it says Theme=Royale, I tried with Glossy theme, but still the same error message, just "Theme=Glossy" now.

Hmm, I only can confirm the second bug that Pilek posted. When I run WPI from HDD, it just runs fine. But when I burn it on CD/DVD I get the same errormessage that he gets. And if I click it away, WPI continues running. I did not test, if the process is much slower, but my cmd files get executed, even if the error came up.

Yeah man! That works perfectly. Now the install starts. Thank you very much!!!

Hmm, when I just let the timer run and WPI should start the install, at the end of the countdown, I get this Error message: EDIT: sadicq fixed it, see next post

I build all my iso files with nLite.

Hmm, does not seem to be an WPI error. Did you change anything in your winnt.sif? Perhaps you could attach your winnt.sif (WITHOUT KEY of course)?

Yes, my mirrors are up to date with the latest XPize 4.4.2! I don't know what happened to XPero's site. I hope it is up asap.

Hey janerik, we still can not reconstruct the problem that is still reported with the pack. All other problems are fixed, but the last one does not come up for us. We did exactly the same as the user in the board did, but it works. Ehm, did you see any bugreports in this thread here? NO, they all were reported in the packs subforum. P.S.: There will always be bugs in software, because no one can test it on every configuration that exists. I already told Sereby to release the fixed version as 1.5.7.1 beta, so the users can test it a few days and then release it as final.

I think nearly every problem that comes up is caused by Sereby's pack, because the installer does the main work. I see the problem with the users who blame nuhi because the integration of the pack does not work correct. But it is something like XPize, the users have to know, that the support is not given by nuhi, but by Sereby if possible. Every problem with the integration of the pack should be posted in the Updatepack forum, because then Sereby can see, if it is a problem with the installer or nLite. The .cat problem is caused by too many .cat files, we all know that. What we would need, is something like one SP3.cat, that replaces the tons of .cat files. Sereby allows 200 .cat files for normal integration and 165 .cat files for nLite integration now, as other Addons have .cat files, too. So that the setup should not hang or slow down that much (3-4 minutes and they should be registered). Perhaps Gurgelmeyer can help us here.

Hmm, am I right by thinking that these code lines for Sereby's Pack are not even touched when not selecting the Pack for integration, nuhi? So I think that users, who do not use the pack have got now trouble with the support. And all users who use the Pack and got problems with it, report them in the according section in german-nlite forum, so nuhi and nLite have got nothing to do with any support or errors. Correct me, if I am wrong. We're going to contact Gurgelmeyer and see, how the .cat problem can be solved.

Ehm, does ANYONE tell you to use the pack janerik? If you don't use it, be happy and that's it. There are a lot of people, who use Sereby's Pack and nLite, so the support for Sereby's Pack is just perfect here. P.S.: I am using nLite and Sereby's Pack for about one year now and I NEVER EVER had ANY Problem with it. So please nuhi, just let the support for Sereby's Pack in. IE 7 Beta 3 and Sereby's Pack support -> nLite again rocks!!!

This is Royale by BoardBabe. I just updated it to WPI 5.1 standarts. EDIT: It will be updated to WPI 5.2 soon.

@ oneless: Please go to the WPI 5.1 Thread. In his post, mritter said, what has been changed in the themes. I'm talking about <div id="layerconfig" class="opText" align="left" style="position:absolute; display:none; z-index:100; overflow:auto; width:100%; height:100%;"> </div> In 5.0.1 the WPI.htm of each theme had 90% instead of 100%. After mritter told me, how I can update the WPI.htm for WPI 5.1 compatibility, I had the same problem that you have got now. The lines are broken. For the MCE theme I am using, the 100% work without a break, but with Glossy I had the same problem. So go to the WPI.htm in the Glossy folder and play with the values. Try 90% instead of 100%. Sorry, but I don't know which of the 3 100% values it was.

Sorry that I did not see this before mritter. When I place WPI into a place thats path has got an " ' " in it, the graphics in the tooltips (and in the timer progress bar) do not get loaded. I placed it into the folder D:\Windows XP\Selbstinstallierende DVD\Dynaletik's WinLite-DVD\Install\WPI This isn't that important, because on the Install-DVD the path is another without the " ' ", but perhaps this can be fixed. If I rename the path to D:\Windows XP\Selbstinstallierende DVD\Dynaletiks WinLite-DVD\Install\WPI it works without any problem, so it must be the " ' " . EDIT: Fixed in WPI 5.2

Yes, you are right mritter. I start WPI with this WPI.cmd that is called from winnt.sif on first login: cmdow.exe @ /HID @ECHO OFF for %%i in (C 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:\WIN51 set CDROM=%%i: set WPIPATH=%CDROM%\Install\WPI\ for /F "delims=: tokens=1" %%i in ("%WPIPATH%") DO %%i: cd "%WPIPATH%" start WPI.hta This causes, that WPI loads and installs the apps, but windows continues loading the desktop etc. If you delete the "start" argument in the last line, WPI installs first and then the desktop gets loaded. It would be a nice option, but not that necessary for me, as I solved it for me. I need this, because my Cleanup.cmd deletes shortcuts that get created when the desktop is loaded. If the desktop loads after WPI finished, some of my settings and tweaks get overwritten by windows.

I never used the disc path variable. And I don't even know, how it can be used? So I think it can be deleted. But perhaps someone uses it and can tell us how to work with it? Come on.

Thank you faaip565, this is what I did for now. But perhaps someone has some time to work on it. It isn't a big need, but would be nice.

I still have got the problem, that my order of install isn't right. The Framework should get installed BEFORE ATI CCC, but it does not. Can someone help me? EDIT: If I change "InstallByCategory" in the useroptions.js to "false", the order is right. So could you please change that in the WPI code, that the order is more important and above the "InstallByCategory" ?

What about taskkilling the process?

@bujo696: Did you use your ToolTip Style that you used in an earlier WPI Version??? Because in WPI 5, there are new entries in the ToolTip Style. When I copied my Style from WPI Lite 1.2 to the userconfig of WPI 5, I had the exactly same problem that you have got. My ToolTips were anywhere on the screen, but not next to the Mouse. Please check your ToolTip Style, perhaps use the default to make sure, that this isn't causing the problem.

I just downloaded RC2 again to be sure, but I got that problem with RC2. I already had it. I hope the other "bug" gets fixes for WPI 5 Final.

I have got some little problems with my config file and the way WPI 5 installs my apps: I gave order number 1 to the .NET Framework and number 2 to the ATI Catalyst Control Center, but WPI 5 does not install Framework before CCC. WPI 1.2 Lite did this. Another thing: Since WPI 5, I cannot apply the XP-AntiSpy Tweaks as I could do it in WPI 1.2. When I try to call the "XP-AntiSpy.exe" with its parameters, WPI does not search for the .exe file only. It seems to search for "XP-AntiSpy.exe +0 +1 +2 +3 ...". This is why it breaks the AntiSpy Install. I "solved" this problem with an WinRAR sfx archive for the moment.

Ok, I did the german translation. It's included in WPI 5.0 Final.

Thank you Kel. I still run WPI through the WPI.cmd, because while WPI gets started, Windows should not stop loading. Can it be done, that Windows does not wait for WPI to quit, even if I call it per RunOnceEx? Because at the moment, I use "start WPI.hta" in my batchfile. So Windows just calls WPI up and continues starting the dektop.
