Hey all Ok how do you make winnt.sif call wpi.cmd successfully??? Here is my winnt.sif [GuiRunOnce] %cdrom%\wpi\wpi.cmd everytime windows attempts to run this line... it cant find it!!!! now i am wondering if the %cdrom% variabel is the problem or what??? has anyone successfulyl been abelt o run WPI from cd?????

Hey everyone i seem to be having the same issues as descibed in this forum.... post # 19 to be exact Forum link My directory structure is as follows: %cdrom%\WPI \SOFTWARE \APP1\ \APP2\ etc I get the same problems as NJDOUGLAS ... it seems that the wpi.cmd settign the current directory screws everythign up...... so that instead of the app's location being %cdrom%\software\app1 it becomes %cdrom%\wpi\software\app1 and then windows can not find it obviously.... anyone know how to fix this? Dave for reference heres my wpi.cmd @ECHO OFF REM Example, how to look for CDROM-drive. Must have a file to identify in its root (like WIN51 or WPI.ico). 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: echo Found CD-Rom as drive %CDROM% REM Determine the WPI startup path.

just a thought..... so when i went iot bed it was looping with a disc that i thought (at least i think) worked....... now when i installed it manually this morning...... i noticed the teh user license key and stuff shwos up aroudn T-32 T-31 stage....... could it be looping if the3 correct cd key for XP SP2 was not applied in my winsif????

ps not sure.... but in the meantime im trying to do my install with a previous disc that DID work... im off to bed butu i htink it might be looping as welll!!!! if thats the case then ill try and manual install and not a UA......

hey all.... i've used autoit to create an exe for several of my setups..... the problem is i keep running into a deadend with one script. I am trying to install my creative webcam drivers.... (its a setup file) and when i execute the exe manually it runs fine.... but when its executed with wpi it just stalls forever....... any ideas??? or alternative suggestions????

Hey all been away a few weeks... good lookign changes in the latest version (nice job HASI) I fhave the Display Sorted option set to yes...... Now..... within the categories is there a way to set a display order????? because i see that each category still gets sorted alphabetically...

Ok i have an issue for some reason when i install the drivers for my wacom tablet i sometimes get one box that only shows up occasionally..... is there a way to use the IF statement in autoit to say for ex: If ("information") window is present do the foloowg commands ie mouseclick or controlclick or if not present proceed to next line in script..????? because it gets hung on this one line sometimes.... and i'm nto sure how to use the if function or if it could be used in this case.....

Hi all ok i am using autoit for some of my pgms taht dont have switches.... and i want to install them form cd.... ive tried running a cmd file that sets the cdrom variable and then starts the autoit exe... but when it starts it cant execute the setup file in the script....... is there a way to set the cdrom variable in an autoit script???? also is there a way to make a folder inside the cd "the root fodler" for an install ie : cdrom- creative -install -setup.exe logitech ms ie the setup.exe file was in the roor folder ont he original cd that had the software..... it wont run unless it's in the root folder........ so is there a way to make the install folder the root folder for a bit?????
