Hasi so i understand the following from your post so it's not easy to change the code for the calculation.. i undestand that.. (BTW really appreciate the help and programming you do.) how would i change your calculation of the height so that the # of lines that you have predetermined in the code is 1/2 so instead of 20 apps per column its 10 for example??? thanks PS been trying to find the line of code that changes the clock colour in common/main.js and i can't find it where is it?

hey ya i was asking MCT howe he did the same thing with his boxes etc.... so is this based upon your desktop theme or what? anyone else have any ideas? Hasi or BB?

hey Hasi nice work on the latest version..... just noticed on the option page that the yes or no???? buttons at the bottom don't change o the proper language after it's changed to english from german... and just guessed which button to click....... and the option box for the timer only allows 3 digits to be entered.... so you couldnt put in 3600 for 60min countdown.... just FYI... nto that i need it or anything... cuz 5 mins is enough for me. also when i'm add a spaces to my program name...... i add the <br /> tag like this..... prog[pn]=['Norton Systemworks 2003 <br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />'] desc[pn]=['Installs Norton Systemworks 2003.<br /><br />Includes:<br />-Norton Antivirus<br />-Norton Ghost<br />-Norton Utilites <br /> <br /> '] cmd1[pn]=['"%systemdrive%\INSTALL\\APPLICATIONS\Norton\Setup.exe /qn /Reboot=Suppress'] dflt[pn]=['yes'] cat[pn]=['Security Software'] ordr[pn]=[3] uid[pn]=['norton'] pn++ when i add those spaces though.... whether its one or more <br /> tags addes it pushes the programs below off .. below the edge of the page, instead of bumping the next lines to the next column...... any ideas????

Hey MCT was lookign at the screenshot of your WPI and i just noticed that you have curved boxes with x's in them???? how did u do this? can u change jsut the boxes to curved ones? or can you change just the checkmarks to x's? or how do you do both????

you guys wanted a transparent title pic created??? i did one the other night before the post was mentioned... when i was modifying the look of the main page.... here it is if anyone wants it...... not perfect but when i fine tune it i'll repost it..... what looks white is transparent so it should work..... buzz

hasi or BB you know how you told me to add the <p> into the boxes file to add a blank line before each category??? where would i add the <p> or what woudl the code be to add a blank line in between sertain programs... i'm jsut trying to space out my stuff better... i know this is cosmetic but it woudl be most helpful..... see attached pic ................ thanks!

BB never mnd i was able to DL it thanks

BB you are the man... thanks so much for the 6 command lines...... will test that and the category install in a bit..... in reguard to my earlier posts abotu the multiple indows you are all right... it would be nice to have it and as one of you said no one woudl notice probably... yet it would be nice if someone were monitoring the install...... buzz

heres a image to show you what im mean in reguards to my post.... further if you look at the ATI Software box...... how can we add the lines that are below "ATI Catalyst Driver 4.12"???? just dead lines to show you what its installing as i have used cmds 1-3 to execute 3 installs under one title...... also as Astalavista has asked any way to add more than 3 cmd lines???? as i too need mroe as my ATI install is 6 different programs...

hasi001 thanks for the extra line info i didnt knw <p> was the code i needed thanks! it worked fine with just adding the line (see screnshot to see what i meant) thats cool but what i want to do is have a new window for each category of prgrams....... ie if u select all of the adobe programs..... those would show up under a window titled 'adobe software" it would install all of those then move onto the next category "ms office 2003" install those comonents etc..... first is there a way to title the windows???? second how can we put only categories into those windows?

Hi everyone looking for solutions to the following two requests please! 1. I would liek to knwo how to add a blank line in the generate script as to separte items.... i saw an earlier post on changing the height/width of the category lines but that idea didnt work when i tried it.... so is there a simple line of code that adds a blank line to the script???? 2. You know the window that shows up after you execute the script and it goes through each program installing one by one???? Is there a way to turn that into separate windows??? Ie each category has 3 programs in it.... and when it installs the 1st window pops up... Window 1 Adobe MS Office Apps this then clsoes and Window 2 Winzip tools apps shows up installs each item then closes...... is there a waya to do this??? i read all of this forums post an no luck.......

Hey everyone ok so im now using WPI 2.99 and its workin much better than what i was using..... anyhoo what im trying to do is.... show the subtasks when the windows showup.... ie if i were doing this with runonceex the code woudl be somethign liek.... REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Productivity Software - Step 1 of 6" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "MS Office 2003 Pro" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "MS Frontpage 2003" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Office2003\frontpage\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=fpgUnattended.MST /qb-" /f etc in WPI i have 1 line that executes 3 cmd lines ie: prog[pn]=['Compaq S4300NX Drivers'] desc[pn]=['Drivers for Desktop Computer.<br /><br />Will Install:<br />-Realtec NIC Driver<br />-Ac97 Audio Driver<br />-Multimedia Keyboard Support<br /> <br />'] cmd1[pn]=['"%systemdrive%\\Install\\Applications\\Drivers\\Keyboard\\setup\\Setup.exe -s"'] cmd2[pn]=['"%systemdrive%\\Install\\Applications\\Drivers\\NIC\\setup.exe -s"'] cmd3[pn]=['"%systemdrive%\\Install\\Applications\\Drivers\\Sound\\setup.exe -s"'] dflt[pn]=['yes'] cat[pn]=['Computer Specific Setups'] ordr[pn]=[1] uid[pn]=['compaq'] pn++ so doing it this way only shows "Compaq s4300NX Drivers" as the item its installing...... is there anyway to add a line so that it displays Compaq S4300NX Drivers - Keyboard Drivers - NIC Drivers - Sound Card Drivers and the arrow moves through each one??? and what about creatign the different windows to display only certian programs????? any ideas?

so do u mean i should add a "\ before that like this? tf.WriteLine("REG ADD %KEY%\080 /V 1 /D "\"\"%systemdrive%\program files\winzip\winzip32.exe\"\" /noqp /notip /autoinstall" /f") not sure what u mean by escaped? ps thx for the metapad idea got it and like it

first of all im nto 2x posting.... if u read carefully itrs a different issue...realted but different.... 2nd - nakira...... tried that space u suggested.... no luck but it actually says expected ")" line 52 is tf.WriteLine("REG ADD %KEY%\080 /V 1 /D "\"%systemdrive%\program files\winzip\winzip32.exe\" /noqp /notip /autoinstall" /f")

Hey everyone i want to make my WPI generate runonceex code..... but everytime i add it it says there is somethign wrong with the code..... //Install WinZip if (document.inner.WPI.chkbox040.checked){ tf.WriteLine("REG ADD %KEY%\080 /VE /D "win zip" /f") tf.WriteLine("REG ADD %KEY%\080 /V 1 /D "\"%systemdrive%\program files\winzip\winzip32.exe\" /noqp /notip /autoinstall" /f") } tf.WriteLine(":end"); any ideas??? the error says that there is an unexpected ")" on line 52 character 42........ which is somewhere in this code? i'm honestly not even sure if i am scriptign this right for use within WPI tried searching and all i can see is people discussing using this option.... any help?

thanks everyone its workign now.... NAKIRA so in the future when i have a folder that is two names witha a space ie "ms office" do i put the "\ before the first set of quotes then \" after the executable file before the switches in order for the folder to be recognized as per your example? "\"%systemdrive%\program files\winzip\winzip32.exe\" /noqp /notip /autoinstall" /f THANKS AGAIN

ok tried it REG ADD %KEY%\080 /V 1 /D "%ProgramFiles%\WinZip\winzip32.exe /noqp /notip /autoinstall and i get an "invalid key name" error also i am using the WPI to create a batch file which will then run upon first logon just liek the runonceex and i use btoh winrar and winzip.... i seem to have this issue with any folder name that has spaces in it ie "ms office" "program files" etc

i'm launching it from the program files directory as the silent install instructions for winzip say to have it copied over to that folder and then run the command to launch the pgm. and would my code be??? REG ADD %KEY%\080 /V 1 /D "%ProgramFilesDir%WinZip\winzip32.exe /noqp /notip /autoinstall

sorry i posted the wrong version of the code.... yes i have tried "%systemdrive%\program files\WinZip\winzip32.exe" that is where i am getting the error

Hey everyone... I'm testing my WPI setup and when i am trying to run by batch file.... it keeps saying it can't find the files... eventhough i copied then over to the specified folder.... attached is the error msg and here the code the WPI created.... cmdow @ /HID @echo off SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing System Tools & Software - Step 2 of" /f REG ADD %KEY%\080 /VE /D "Win Zip 9.0" /f REG ADD %KEY%\080 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\"program files"\WinZip\winzip32.exe" /f rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess pause exit I think it has something to do with the space in the path for "program files" but im not sure... ive tried putting 2 sets of quotes around the path like: ""%systemdrive%\program files\WinZip\winzip32.exe"" but then it say i have too many command paramaters and exits..... any ideas???? i'm sorry if this is redundant but i am a newbie THANKS PS I've also had this problem when office trys to install fromt he folder "MS office 2003" as well as when NAV tries to install from "norton systemworks 2003" think it might be the spaces in these folder names as well??????

ok ya but im just tryin to figure out why it is executing itself at the 12 min mark of setup instead of on first logon......?????? i am followign those guides to make my multiple windows work (which they do) the problem is that my runonceex.cmd is executign itseld and tryin to run through each of those lines at the 12 min mark of setup

ok but iam trying to create several differnt windows for the pgms.... should i just remove the last line??? here my FULL code... to the point i am at...
