    (SOLVED) What Gives after 4 Primary Drives

    in Windows 7

    Posted · Edited by DJPro

    Hello there,

    Something about warranty, what I do know OEM-builders only give warranty for hardware problems.

    So if your HDD dies they will replace it for example.

    If you repartition your harddrive or if you delete the recovery partition and do a whole new install of windows they don't care.

    In the past I send some laptops back where I did a complete new install and repartition, after some time something went wrong with for example a memory module,

    those laptops came back with a new module and they didn't care about the harddrive that was comletely repartitioned.

    At least, you don't get warranty about software problems, only hardware problems.

    WPI not waiting for Office 2010 to finish

    in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)

    Posted

    Hello,

    I also used the Office Customization Tool and -> cmds[pn]=['"%root%\\Apps\\Microsoft Office\\2010\\setup.exe"'];

    and everything is working perfect (it waits until office is installed and then goes to the next command).

    The thing I noticed is that you don't have an order number -> ordr[pn]=[29]; for example for every item in your config file.

    Don't know if this is the problem but maybe you can add an order number for every item. (didn't test this)

    Maybe you can check and test again.

    How choose between two installations (x64 or x32)

    in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)

    Posted

    I mostly work with 1 entry:

    cmds[pn]=['{JSCRIPT}=if (getBits()==32) RunCmd(\'%wpipath%\\Install\\APPs_FREE\\UltraVNC\\UltraVNC_1.0.8.2_x32_Setup.exe\'%comma%false%comma%true)','{JSCRIPT}=if (getBits()==64) RunCmd(\'%wpipath%\\Install\\APPs_FREE\\UltraVNC\\UltraVNC_1.0.8.2_x64_Setup.exe\'%comma%false%comma%true)'];

    Don't forget to put the silent switches for the installer if it needs some.

    Seems to me your pc is still infected.

    A while ago I had an infection on my USB-stick and it showed also those strange 'chinese-letters'.

    I unplugged it, plugged it in again and it wasn't recognised anymore -> USB-stick death.

    I would backup all important files and do a new installation.

    Or maybe, if you haven't done already, install 'Malwarebytes' and do a full scan to check for malware.

    Challenge: Fix the ToolTips

    in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)

    Posted

    Hi Mritter,

    As I posted before when you put the 'exit' button in the side panel like the other buttons nothing flash.

    So if the 'exit' button remains in the 'main window' nothing will flash, it's only when it's stated in the bottom bar.

    So I thought it had to do with some overlay or how the cells are placed in Internet Explorer.

    I changed the script wpi.htm in \Common\Themes\Windows

    this line:

            <!-- The main display window -->
            <td class="opTxt" style="width:100%; height:100%; vertical-align:top; padding:0px;">

    into this:

            <!-- The main display window -->
            <td rowspan="2" class="opTxt" style="width:100%; height:100%; vertical-align:top; padding:0px;">

    So I just added 'rowspan="2"' to have the ability to extend verticle rows.

    SOLUTION -> Nothing flashes anymore !!! :thumbup (even if 'Use transitions' is enabled which was not the case before)

    I did a test on different operating systems with the same positive result.

    One thing I noticed it didn't work on the 'WindowsFramed' theme. (changing \Common\Themes\WindowsFramed -> wpi.htm)

    I would like to know if someone can test and have the same positive results.

    Good Luck, DJPro

    Registry Question

    in Windows XP

    Posted · Edited by DJPro

    @TheReasonIFail

    Maybe you can try something like this:

    "App"="C:\\Program Files\\Folder\\APP.EXE -switch -f1C:\\Program Files\\Folder\\data.ini"

    Put all the switches in the middle instead of at the end.

    I don't know for which application it is but I used it in the past for installing PowerDVD via RunOnceEx.

    Interesting post 'mistaecko'

    I was just playing around and noticed that if you put the 'exit' button in the side panel like the other side panel buttons nothing will flash.

    To do this I changed the wpi.htm script in \Common\Themes\Windows

    (so the exit button is not in the bottom bar anymore)

    Picture

    Even if the tooltips are enabled nothing flash.

    But if 'Use transitions' is enabled and you hover the mouse on some of your programs the side panel will flash.

    Maybe interesting to track down this issue.

    Disable Password Expiration in XP Professional not working

    You can make a workaround with a vbs file you can execute after or during windows install.

    Example:

    strComputer = "."
    strUser = "Owner"
    Set User = Getobject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "/" & strUser)
    Flags = User.Get("UserFlags")

    User.put "Userflags", flags OR &H10000
    user.setinfo
    Set User = nothing

    NOTICE : you have to change "Owner" with the username you use.

    Your mission, if you decide to accept it, is to track down the tooltips flashing issue.

    In the Windows theme only the tooltips make the side panel buttons (Begin Install, Options, Config, etc) flash. It is very annoying. And the tooltip position is wrong. It gets moved above the mouse when it should be below it. That happens in all the themes.

    I would appreciate some help tracking this issue down. It is probably something simple that I am overlooking, but it is eluding me.

    Hi mritter,

    I noticed this too a while ago.

    If I move the mouse over the 'exit' button, the side panel buttons flash.

    Indeed it was annoying in the beginning because this wasn't the issue in earlier versions.

    I 'll search and sea if I find something related to that.

    Cannot copy GenOEP.dll

    in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)

    Posted

    In V. 7.7.0 this folder and file doesnt't exist.

    If i try to do an update to V. 8.0.3 i must copy/override all files to my existing WPI.

    But i can't copy the file GenOEP.dll.

    Or is there another way to do the update?

    Have you tried putting your 'config.js' file in the WPI\WPIScripts folder ?

    I don't know how your 'config.js' looks like but notice that in older versions the command rules are different.

    Example: 

    cmd1[pn]=['command 1'];
    cmd2[pn]=['command 2'];

    In the new version it changed to:

    cmds[pn]=['command 1','command 2'];

    Maybe have a look at that.
