kelsenellenelvian, Did you get the modified WPI with Configs I sent you? Bern

I have been working on adding my configs modification to 4.2. This is now done and being sent to kelsenellenelvian.

Any idea when you might have BartPE support?

Sorry it has taken so long to repost I have been really busy. I have update the link on the first post. Here is the link also http://rapidshare.de/files/3041456/wpi_with_configs.zip.html Thanks Bern.

Sorry for the lack of response, I have been busy with a new software release at the company I work for, I have also been the process of moving. I will repost this as soon as I can. Bern

Thank You, I knew I saw this information somehere but could not remember where. I just found it again, it is in the instructions that is in the base file, I have been using the instructions on your website and it is not there. I knew I was not going crazy. Bern

I was wondering if there is a certain order to do things if I am using the following RyanVM Updates' The DriverPacks nLite Thanks Bern

Your are correct. All you need to do is define your configs in in the options, then add what ever configs you want to the programs. The way I have the script set up is it will automatically read the computer name of the computer it is running on, and if it is in the config list it will automatically pick that config, otherwise the config you set as default in the settings will be picked (currently limited to None, All, or Default, or CurrentComputerName).

Like kelsenellenelvian stated this is a know problem with WPI, but I will take a look at it and see if I can modify it. BTW kelsenellenelvian who do I need to talk to to make this an offical version of WPI?

Ok I think I have the following problems fixed 1) Add button now works in the config section 2) Combo box is aligned properly This version will also automatically get the computer name and if the name is in the list of config it will automatically select it. When entering the computer name in any of the config sections make sure there are in all UPPERCASE. If you have any problems or comments please let me know. BTW this was based off of v3.5 which was posted by kelsenellenelvian on Mar 16th. Download Link: Please see link in first post Bern

Ok I will try to fix that today also

Currently it does not, but I do plan on having it do that. I have also found a small problem in the config wizard. For some reason the Add button stopped working, hopefully I can have this fixed by this evening. Bern

Ok here it is. Basically what you do is go into the Options and enter the list of configs you want ex: Enterprise,Defiant,NX-01 Then you go into your program configs and enter which config the program goes to. I have preset up some configs. Then on the main screen you can pick the config you want to load. If you have a program marked as forced it will auto check that item. if you have a custom theme, then you will also need to modify your wpi.htm file, if you look in the included wpi.htm you can copy the section named <!-- set up the combobox for the configs--> If you have any questions or comments please let me know Here is the Link: Please use link in first post Bern

Hello all, I am modifying WPI so I can have one config file with multiple configs within it. Basically what I have done is add a new parameter to each program where you specify config names comma delimited. EX a config parameter may be laptop, desktop1, desktop2 Then you are in WPI and you pick the laptop config, every program that has laptop in the config line will be selected. (make sense?) Basically what I am planning on doing is this, when WPI first starts up it will get the computer name and set it as the default config, but you can select one of the other configs if need be. It will sort of be the say way XPLODE does it in it's selection plugin. Is anyone else interested in this? I am almost done, all I have left to do is to give the selection list in the mail WPI screen.

Found the problem, in the Xplode-OriginalInstall.XML files you provide you are using <item> </item> instead of <value> </value> to determine the key to read. I don't know how many times I looked at this in the XML and PDF files. Anyways, thanks seems to be reading the registry fine now. I did notice one thing though, I am using the selection plugin and even though it is getting the data correctly from the registry and placing it in the correct variable, the select window says error and places a red block beside the item. Bern

Hello I figured out how to do #1, #2 and 4 are not really that important to me, but #3 is, I went to the bugtracker to post the suggestions but I see it is already posted under id #0000005

Not sure what I am doing wrong. I can't seem to be able to read from the registry. I have even tried the sample XML files, basically no matter what I do I get an access denied error. I am attaching my log file, I am not attaching my XML as I am using XPlode-OriginalInstall.xml as the test XML Running Xplode 4.1 Thanks Bern

Hello, First off I would like to say GREAT WORK, I LOVE XPLODE!!!!! With that said, I do have a couple of suggestions, 1) It would be nice to be able to say something like ALL in the configs, so if an item applies to all configs you would not need to specify each and every config, that way also if you us it on a computer that is not in the config they would still be checked. 2) It would be nice if there was a button or someting within a catagory that said select all, which would select everything in the current category. 3) Any chance of have groupings. What i mean is this have one item in the selection list but that one item would do multiple things. Basically I would like to group all the following into one check item, so when the item is checked all the following will be done, instead of having to check each item seperatly: <execute display="Nero 6" desc="Version 6.6.0.8"> <program>#XPLODE#\AV, CDR and DVD Tools\nero6\Nero6608.exe</program> <arguments>/SILENT /NOREBOOT /SN=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx /WRITE_SN</arguments> <wait>true</wait> </execute> <execute display="Nero 6 Vision" desc="Version 3.1.0.0"> <program>#XPLODE#\AV, CDR and DVD Tools\nero6\NVE3100.exe</program> <arguments>/SILENT /NOREBOOT /SN=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx/WRITE_SN</arguments> <wait>true</wait> </execute> <fileio-rename display="Put the Nero Folder inside the AV, CDR and DVD Tools Folder" desc="" configs=""> <from>#ALLUSERSPROFILE#\Start Menu\Programs\NERO</from> <dest>#ALLUSERSPROFILE#\Start Menu\Programs\AV, CDR and DVD Tools\NERO</dest> <replace>true</replace> <!-- defaults to false if not specified --> </fileio-rename> 4) It would also be nice to have requirements, for Example in order for Nero Vision to be installed DirectX9 has to be installed, so if you select Nero it would automatically select DirectX9. (Yes I how you have have to have DirectX9 listed in the XML before Nero to make sure it is istalled) Thanks for all your hard work and keep up the good job Bern

Here is a snippet from the sample XML that comes with XPLODE <item display="» Adding users to #COMPUTERNAME#"> <addgroup display='Adding group "Cowboy Bebop"'> <groupname>Cowboy Bebop</groupname> <extra>/COMMENT:"It's them bounty hunters!"</extra> </addgroup> <adduser display="Adding Spike"> <username>Spike</username> <password>swordfish</password> <group>Administrators</group> <group>Cowboy Bebop</group> <extra>/FULLNAME:"Spike Spiegel"</extra> </adduser> <adduser display="Adding Jet"> <username>Jet</username> <password>hammerhead</password> <group>Cowboy Bebop</group> <extra>/FULLNAME:"Jet Black" /COMMENT:"When the black dog bites, he don't let go!"</extra> </adduser> </item>
