Hey there. I'm pretty embarassed abotu myself that I couldn't find a solution for my problem in this excellent forums here I use the most recent version 3.3.5 of WPI and converted my 2.x version to it. But I always get errors and don't know, where they exactly come from. Here is the message I get: In english it says something like: "Message: The property (?) or method is not supprted by the object." What confuses me about this is the line it gives me. Neither WPI.hta nor api.js have 271 lines! The message always appears, when the wpi.hta is loaded or when I click ANY checkbox or button in the program (apart from the exit and the install buttons). If you need any of the files I use, here is the zip: Download wpi.zip I would be very pleased if you could help me. EDIT: Testing environment is a virtual machine (VMWare 4.5) with Windows 2000 Professional SP2. It is not important, which SP is installed, because it does not wirk with SP4 + patches either When I'm trying to run WPI on a WinXP SP2 machine, it does not even show anything. Just brings up many error messages an stuff, but I do not really care, because I want to use it on W2K. EDIT2: Oh ****! I fogot to put a useful title to the topic. This ist not really my style though, but just forgot Better title would be "Error message (api.js) when opening WPI"... Could anyone please change it? I can't... cu FuNKeR

I'm ashamed I didn't reply to your answer again But there is one big problem in my life... I do not have any time. I thought, i could have a couple of hours a day, but no, I don't. My girlfriend and school are too time intensive (can I say so? If not, replace it with take up too much time ;-)). I hope to have a bit more time, when I'm going to work again next week. cu FuNKeR

I have got a Win2003 machine up and running here. If you tell me what the system needs to do, I can probably be a tester. cu FuNKeR

Will this picture already be used when logging in? Or is it one more in the mass of pictures Windows randomizes on any user? cu FuNKeR

Did this work? cu FuNKeR

Ah, got it. I think your problem is that you wrote <windowmode>guitransparent</windowmode> You should try this: <windowmode mode='guitransparent' /> cu FuNKeR

I think you still need to define some colors though... See the example file for information about that. cu FuNKeR

No problem I don't want to disturb your concentration cu FuNKeR

Hey Wraith, have you got the time to help me pleeeeease? cu FuNKeR

As far as I read that correctly, it will be finished on my birthday 22/11/04 cu FuNKeR

Hi, thanks for your answer. I think, this will help. I need to add the line: set vppath=c:\vpto the autoexec.nt, because otherwise the program won't run (dunno why ). It is a very old program... But I think you did not get my problem right (maybe I did not explain it enough ): I need to add a line to the following... I don't know... stuff *g*, where I can write the variables to. (see attachment) cu FuNKeR

Wouldn't it be a great idea to make this one a sticky? Or move it to the Member Contributed Projects? Started to work with WPI yesterday, but had no chance to try it till now But I try to get the most things done today. cu FuNKeR

Hi, is it possible to add a line to the Windows 2000 file "autoexec.nt" via batch file? I want to create a package with a bunch of programs and of them needs to have another entry in this file. The second problem with this program is, that it also needs an entry in the PATH-variable. Does anyone know, how to add these informations? cu FuNKeR

This does not seem to work for RealVNC 4.0 Has anyone a solution for that? cu FuNKeR

Is anyone interested in a localized german version of the CD label and the DVD cover? I just changed the templates to it and tweaked them a bit, too cu FuNKeR

standalone The standalone mode is like a normal program with a window you can define by yourself. Just create three images (png, jpg...) and link them in the .xml file. You cannot see through the program when the graphics are applied. guitransparent This is the most minimalistic mode that exists. It does not matter which background you have got behind the program, the whole program is transparent and you can only see the text (in the color you define by yourself). guiredraw This is the mode especially for Windows setups. Although I do not get the real idea behind it. It almost behaves like the guitransparent mode. The difference is, that the program uses the background that is defined in the WINNTBBU.DLL file. There is also a fourth mode called guiinstall I think, this is the same as standalone, but the old description left from the old version called XPinstall... But I am not sure Hope, the differences are clear now cu FuNKeR

Thanks a lot. I like it minimalistic. See LINK for the theme my unattended CD shall create. There is still al lot to do, but the basics already work. btw: the taskbar will be one "line"(?) and without the quickstart- and adress bar when I'm finished. So don't mind it disturbs the clean look right now Did not know, that you left the program "alone" for that long time. But would you try to find a solution for my problem please? B) Or is it something in the sourcecode so you have to change the program itself? If so, just let it be. I can live with the tiny border (Don't want you to have more work than you already have ) cu FuNKeR

LOL That's interesting: The developer does not know how to customize his own program Well, no problem. My DVD is still under construction. So I have a lot more time to spend with it cu FuNKeR

Oops! Didn't read with care cu FuNKeR

Hi again, I have got a question about the appearence of XPlode: Is it somehow possible to remove the thin black border around the program? I would really like to do so. But take a look for yourself (see attachment). cu FuNKeR

OK. I fixed the issue with the font under Windows. But I still do not have any idea, how to integrate this one font into the Windows setup process. Does anybody know? cu FuNKeR

Is it possible to add one or more fonts to my DVD so I can use the font in the Windows setup already? I need it, 'cause the font fits my visual style in total and the setup also has got this style. Would be nice, if there is a possibility to add the one font. the other ones are not that important. As I said before, I also use the font in my visual style and my Windows looks really crappy, when the font is missing cu FuNKeR

Hi folks, is there a possibility to replace the command prompt of WinXP to a command line utility, that looks a bit better? I saw a screenshot, where the user had a transparent console without borders and stuff click here The main question is: Do those programs even exist? cu FuNKeR
