k, testing now, thanks mate alex

wow, thanks mate, it is the same info i read on unattended webpage, so thank you for "confirming" my thought, i will try again now, hopefully it works. i have to say, that i tried some time ago, around wpi 2.9.5, and i might remember, that it worked that time w/o f2 switch, but anyway, i give it a try now, EDIT: one question still here: this -s -f2"%systemdrive%\\HDD_SG.log" or this -s -f2\"%systemdrive%\\HDD_SG.log\" (backslash before ") thanks alex

tried 2.9.8a still no success. help will be much appreciated, thanks alex

hasi, i have a problem, with installing installshield .exe's i create a .iss File with -R first, then drop that in the same folder as the .exe, and then call up "setup.exe -s" here are all my installshield apps, which do not get installed: prog[pn]=['HDD Tool Seagate 4.09.05'] desc[pn]=['Zum Vorbereiten von Seagate HDDs'] cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Install\\HDDtoolSeagate4.09.05\\Setup.exe -s'] dflt[pn]=['no'] cat[pn]=['System'] pn++ prog[pn]=['HDD Tool Western Digital 11.0'] desc[pn]=['Zum Vorbereiten von WD HDDs'] cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Install\\HDDtoolWesternDigital11.0\\Setup.exe -s'] cmd2[pn]=['taskkill.exe /F /IM CDEject.exe'] dflt[pn]=['no'] cat[pn]=['System'] pn++ prog[pn]=['Live Update fuer MSI Mainboards'] desc[pn]=['Live Update 3.64'] cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Install\\MSI_LiveUpdate3.64\\setup.exe -s'] dflt[pn]=['no'] cat[pn]=['System'] pn++ prog[pn]=['Realtek Audio Driver'] desc[pn]=['Treiber fuer Soundkarte von Rodent'] cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Install\\AudioDriver\\Setup.exe -s'] dflt[pn]=['yes'] cat[pn]=['System'] pn++ prog[pn]=['WS_FTP Pro 9.01'] desc[pn]=['FTP Client'] cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Install\\WS_FTPpro9.01\\fo-w901.exe -s'] dflt[pn]=['yes'] cat[pn]=['System'] pn++ prog[pn]=['Macromedia DreamweaverMX 2004 7.0.1'] desc[pn]=['Web Editor'] cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Install\\DreamweaverMX2004\\Setup.exe -s -f1\"%CDROM%\\Install\\DreamweaverMX2004\\setup.iss\"'] cmd2[pn]=['xcopy /y /s %cdrom%\\Install\\DreamweaverMX2004\\Anleitungen\*.* "%programfiles%\\Macromedia\\Dreamweaver MX 2004\\Anleitungen\\"'] rega[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Install\\DreamweaverMX2004\\register.reg'] rega[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Install\\DreamweaverMX2004\\dateiendungen.reg'] dflt[pn]=['no'] cat[pn]=['Webdesign'] pn++ prog[pn]=['VIA Hyperion 4in1 4.53'] desc[pn]=['Treiber fuer Mainboard fuer Rodent'] cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Install\\via4in1_4.53\\Setup.exe -s'] dflt[pn]=['yes'] cat[pn]=['System'] pn++ prog[pn]=['ULEAD Photo Impact XL 8.5 ESD'] desc[pn]=['Bildbearbeitung'] cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Install\\PhotoImpactXL8.5\\setup.exe -s'] dflt[pn]=['yes'] cat[pn]=['Webdesign'] pn++ Dreamweaver is a kind of exception, as i use the f1 key here, but anyway, dreamweaver also does not get installed! i used 2.9.8 i will now try again with new 2.9.8a, and report if that solved my problem. thanks alex

hi there, you need to call up the cmd file from cmdlines.txt, like described here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...9302&hl=maxthon rgds alex

@ MCT, thanks, i will try your hint tonight, @ ALL, when i was going to sleep yesterday, i recognized, that i should have shared more info about... sorry, i will do this, if i come home tonight, thanks rgds alex

A Program i install unattended gives me this error: how can i solve this for full unattended install? thanks alex

double and triple check your config.js !! you really should also double and triple read the new installation manuals hasi provides on his page, btw: please update your profile with your country flag, so we can see, if there are only language barriers with understanding WPI. thanks alex

thanks Hasi, thats a great thing, I will test that in the evening, cu alex

sorry, i cant decrypt your message, could you please explain again, what your problem ist? thanks alex

SiMoNsAyS, could you please explain us one thing: i built a package upon your descriptions for 6.6.0.0 Now that 6.6.0.1 is out, how could i update my .0.0 package? just open up both "exe" files in winrar, and copy then over the new files in my package? thanks alex

i do not think, that this issue will be solved with just next version, as this would need major reprogramming of WPI, this is a bigger task, but who knows, what the almighty Hasi checkz0rs for us cu alex

[Feature Request](yay) Entries with "no tickbox" e.g. i also copy programs unattended by using $progs in $oem$ folder so it would be good to include an info, which programs get installed automatically by $progs variable suggestion: var tick=[] // make selection via tickbox possible true/false (or yes/no) tick[pn]=['true'] // use tickbox (for regular install by WPI) tick[pn]=['false'] // not use tickbox (no selection possible - for showing what gets installed by $progs) usage example suggestions: // tick false prog[pn]=['Name of App installed through $progs'] desc[pn]=['Description of App installed through $progs'] regb[pn]=[''] dflt[pn]=[''] // not used cat[pn]=['Registry Tweaks'] tick[pn]=['false'] pn++ //tick true prog[pn]=['Name of App installed through WPI'] desc[pn]=['Description of App installed through WPI'] regb[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Path\\To\\name.reg'] cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Path\\To\\name.exe,.msi,.whatever /AppSwitch(es)'] dflt[pn]=['yes'] // used cat[pn]=['Registry Tweaks'] tick[pn]=['true'] pn++

what shall I say... AWESOME! thanks Hasi rgds Alex PS: i will tonight reinstall my system using WPI !

hasi, thanks for that clarification. now waiting for new WPI version cu alex

i think those %systemdrive% variables needs also be replaced by %cdrom% but on this one i am not sure, as i am also a beginenr (a littler more advanced beginner if you like) the complete wpi folder, must reside in Install/ not only its contents! rgds alex

from what i can see: 1st: change all your cmd1[pn]=['cdrom','Install\\blah'] 'cdrom','' tags to cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Install\\blah'] '%cdrom%\\blah' tags as you are going with the %cdrom% variable through setup, 2nd: put your Install folder into CD root, not in $OEM$/$1 3rd: put your wpi folder into CDroot\Install\ 4th: for unattended setup call up your WPI.hta file like shown in 1st post of this thread: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=11491 for testing purposes just double click the WPI.hta file have fun, Alex

Hi Rodent. Seems you found another bug ... What I would like you to do ist the following: Download the attachment - replace the config.js and try to run WPI on your virtual environment. Debugs are on in this version - so you'll see some debug messages in the upper part of the screen. If the problem's fixed, then I'll release a fixed version - so please answer. In the negative case post the debug messages. All others - please do not download this version. I have to post it, 'cause Attachments are not supported with PMs. I'll post a fixed version soon. Attached File ( Number of downloads: 8 ) wpi_hasi001_2.9.3_fix_rodent.zip Hasi thanks, your debug version worked, for my testing purposes i changed both "WIN51" entries in "generate.js" to "WIN52", as in my virtual environment i have mapped the Windows.iso File to the virtual cd-rom, which contains WIN51, so WPI does not get confused... on C:\ in virtal PC i got the file WIN52... anyway, i think the cdrom detect routine will not work, if on more than 1 drive in root is a WIN51 file i now wait for new fixed version, on which i base my new cd for reinstall one question...: the docs and cmds folders, which come with WPA... are they needed in any way to work correct with WPI? THANKS Alex PS: getting Gmail is not that easy, two dudes PMed me, i answered, but got no feedback until now :/ anyone knows, what an "ID" is meant to be? (would help hasi and me) thx

i will try your rodent fix thanks alex

i am sorry for double request, but i still have no gmail invite. would be really nice, if someone could help me! also anopther user from this forums, the infamous hasi001 (Dev of the new WPI) would like to get one, please please PM us both! thanks Alex

i tried this, did not work, WIN51 resides in C:\ but it always refers to D:\ in the error message, so i tried a weird thing: i renamed WIN51 to WIN52 in C:\ and changed the callup in the .js in both lines to WIN52, but it still refers to D:\ in my wirtual environmnt. is this also fixed in 2.9.3, or only the double error? thanks alex

ok, if set to false, I do not get the double entry, but I really would prefer to go with sorting=true thanks hasi rgds alex

sorting is true, will try it again with set to false, but in advance you get my config.js with pm another question: how do i setup WPI, if i want to execute WPI installing Software from C:\Install on a virtual machine, if variables are set to %cdrom% Would be the win51 file on C:\ enough, to get WPI take the %cdrom% as C:\ ? thanks alex
