Tip for running WPI from network-share...
AlBundy33 replied to AlBundy33's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
Maybe your network is not setup correctly? you can try this: REM reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\NetworkLocationWizard" /v HideWizard /t REG_DWORD /d 00000001 /f REM create automatically a networkdrive (works only if the share is not password-protected) PUSHD \\192.168.x.xxx\DEPLOY REM Start WPI and wait until it was closed Start "running WPI..." /Wait WPI\wpi.exe REM removes the networkdrive POPD Attention: If WPI restarts your PC the network-drive is lost.

WPI v8 Bug thread
AlBundy33 replied to Kelsenellenelvian's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
Maybe you should try to install a "normal" XP (without nLite) and try WPI again. You should also remove the "start"-commands in your install commands. Instead of start %systemdrive%\wpi\install\imgburn\imgburn.exe you should use %systemdrive%\wpi\install\imgburn\imgburn.exe Al -
WPI v8 Bug thread
AlBundy33 replied to Kelsenellenelvian's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
I can use your files without any problem (tried with WPI 8.0.2). AFAIK WPI has some problems if Nero 7 is installed. Do you have a "normal" XP (e.g. not modified with nlite)? You can also try to run WPI in another account. Al -

WPI v8 Bug thread
AlBundy33 replied to Kelsenellenelvian's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
I think it's better to NOT include empty config-files. Without these empty config-files I can download a new archive and extract it over my current WPI-installation and all it's fine. With these empty config-files download the archive and have to extract it manually if I don't want to override my config-files. In my opinion there is no need to change the current behavior. But I some people don't like this it would be better to initialize the config internaly with default-values and after that try to load the config files - if they exist override the default-values.

WPI v8 Bug thread
AlBundy33 replied to Kelsenellenelvian's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
@midiboy First start WPI (this will create all missing files) - after that you can copy it to a network-share (now you can run WPI from network share without write-permissions). Al -
Ok - I switched to WPI.exe. B) Al

I use wpi.hta only since a long time without problems. What makes WPI.exe more? Al

In WPI 8 wpi.hta was moved from WPI\wpi.hta to WPI\Common\wpi.hta. Al

WPI v8 Bug thread
AlBundy33 replied to Kelsenellenelvian's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
Thanx to mritter and Kelsenellenelvian - really good work. I think schnedwui's error was the same as mine - because I had exactly the same message. I my case it was the problem of IE6 (or its settings) - because my XP Home was a clean install without updates. After update to SP3 (and all later hotfixes) the problem was also gone without the fix.

There are problems with linebreaks in ToolTips - if you just press return a new-line-character will be inserted after the div in config.js prog[pn]=['Test']; shortdesc[pn]=['1.0']; uid[pn]=['TEST']; dflt[pn]=['yes']; forc[pn]=['no']; bit64[pn]=['no']; cat[pn]=['Applications']; cmds[pn]=[]; desc[pn]=['<P>Test</P> <P>1</P> <P>2</P> <P>3</P>']; pn++; Al -
Some days ago I started WPI from my pen-drive to install some apps for my parents - unfortunately they have Windows Vista with the UAC-Problem. So before each application a window poped up and asked for the rights... Now I created a vb-script and modified my run_wpi.cmd to run wpi with admin-rights (so hopefully the uac-dialog will only be shown at the start of wpi). Because I'm working with XP I could try the skripts only on my machine and on a virtual Windows 7 machine. On XP the script will start normally and on windows 7 the uac-dialog is shown at startup. Maybe someone can test it on vista. Simply put the script in the same folder where you've extracted WPI - your structure should look like this: - WPI - ... - Themes - Tools - ... - run_wpi.cmd - sudo.vbs Of course you can also edit the variables in run_wpi.cmd. Hint: If you path to wpi.hta is WPI\wpi.hta you have to change the following line in run_wpi.cmd: SET WPI_HTA=Common\wpi.hta to SET WPI_HTA=wpi.hta Al scripts.zip

batch and The publisher could not be verified
AlBundy33 replied to svauz's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
Try to assign a drive-letter to your share. And run the batch from the drive. Al -
Why not - instead of fully qualified path-names you can use %ROOT% (the parent-folder of you WPI-folder) for example . e.g. your_cd_root WPI ... WPI.exe Apps YourApp setup.exe In WPI you can now define your setup-command like this: %ROOT%\Apps\YourApp\setup.exe /s Al

Have a look at http://www.appdeploy.com/packages/ - there you'll find setup-switches for you apps. Al

No automated installation of one application
AlBundy33 replied to SirHaschke's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
I think the batch-files are in the same directory as the exe-files, right? Try this: SetupFreePDF.bat @ECHO OFF SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION PUSHD "%~dp0" fpsetup.exe /q POPD and this: SetupGS.bat @ECHO OFF SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION PUSHD "%~dp0" setupgs.exe C:\Programme POPD Al -

Better: @ECHO OFF REM with enabled extensions there's no need for "start /wait" SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION REM switch into script-directory PUSHD "%~dp0" REM go back to last directory POPD Al -

WPI 7.8.0 Feature requests.
AlBundy33 replied to Kelsenellenelvian's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
Maybe I could do this with sub-items but therefor I would need at least 3 WPI-entries for each app (install, registration/settings, cleanup) and have to select/deselect them for each app. So I would globally enable/disable them. Al
