You got a PM.

And a small one: in the tools archive there is still a cmdow.txt ... eh not that important though.

You should edit your first post, because the tools archive does not contain any more: cmdow Universal Silent Switch Finder PEiD

@muiz, in 5.4 (as far as I know), this problem will be solved. Those controls will be hidden when WPI is run from a removable drive.

Are you trying on the same machine you registered it first? Maybe it's already registered on that machine. Try regsvr32 /u yourfile.dllbefore registering it.

Oh, crap. Than sorry for misleading you. Use the media player.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but those 10 secs can be modified to 100 for example. There's a option named 'Start beeping at t-minus stage' or something like that. *** Correct me if that's only possible in the latest beta I got

Well I stopped at the part with the user interraction. It is right that all the programs need user input. However those who made the installers thought about silent switches. So, instead of launching the program like setup.exe, you call it setup.exe /S or its specific switch. Remember that this is true only for some programs and there are many switches out there. To help you understand better, you should read here about the different types of installers. The guide covers the most common types and gives you the switches. Btw, in the tools archive you can find on the wpi site, there's a utility called USSF (Universal Silent Switch Finder). Check that out too. Then, for the programs that don't support switches, the users of MSFN have written AutoIt scripts that simulate keystrokes. There's a special thread for that too. Check it in Application Install forum.

It should be in %windir%\Media\ ... But I can't check it for you.

Exactly what I was suspecting. A friend of mine asked the same thing yesterday Well, when wpi is run, the current dir is not the dir where the batch is run from. So it will search for ip_address.bat in the wrong dir. Here's the correct code: copy %~dp0ip_address.bat "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop" So to fix the other ones, just put a %~dp0 in front of the files that do not have a full path.

These questions are answered in the help file or by reading the stricky threads. 1. Download the tools archive. It has an autorun.inf in it. I think there's some info about this in the 'release' thread. 2. In the options tab there is a switch called 'Hide extra buttons' 3. Copy that song into your theme's folder, renaming it to TimerSound.wav and overwriting the current one.

I mean the content of it too. I have an idea, but I have to be sure, so post it. And that should be %wpipath%Install\test.bat ... Anyway, it should work with %wpipath%\ too.

Well, post your command so we can see it ... we can't read your mind

For the first one, check if the file is in the right location on the cd and whether it was installed or not. For the second one I think you should modify your config from "%cdrom%\path .... \taskkill ..." to just "taskkill /f /im program.exe" because taskkill is not located on the cd, but in the system32 dir, unless you put it there on purpose.

inf and reg files are indeed something I did not think about. However, I'm planning a big update for the ussf (so far I adapted the code from the original ussf and added just one more string that I took from CMenu): I took a look at uniextract's source code and it seems to be very useful. It detects more headers and it gives detailed information. I'll let you know more next week.

Shortly that's it. But I thought it was easier to explain with an example... Anyway, 5.4 will have a very nice inbuilt manual which will explain every feature in detail.

It's simpler than that. I'll atach my config. Take a look at my php4 and php5. They exclude each other using the excl[pn] inbuilt feature. config.js

Well I'm talking about wpi-integrated ussf there. And yes, I tried CMenu

Here's the main idea: in the next version of WPI you will be able to run ussf with a simple mouse click for any program (you'll have a button for that near the browse button for cmd1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). But that's a modified ussf, it passes the result to wpi and the text can be translated. mritter had an idea about adding other installers detection and so I made it detect msis reader directly their header information. So, if you want other installer types to be detected, post here the name and attach the program so I can test it and see if the header corresponds with what I have. I was thinking about making my own version of ussf without using peid, but there are too many headers for the current installer types and I gave up.

I just made a custom mshta.exe to get rid of the old icon explorer gives to wpi.hta (*.hta). It's something extremely easy, but I thought I should share it with you ... Btw, it's about 3 times bigger than the original but I like the new icon. mshta.exe

Both of them are working. Actually WPI 5.0 introduces new features, trying to maintain backwards compatibility. The content of my wpi.cmd is pretty much like yours is, but unfortunatelly I can't post it as I'm not at home at the moment. My advice is to keep your current layout and remove that reg file. That's it. It should work flawlessly.

You can use it as it does it's job pretty well. That post is exactly what I used for the last 10 DVDs or so. Now I call some exes from the runonceex, but that's my way anyway. There's no other problem with the migration.

It will work. However, no need for the :: REM Special registry tweak needed. regedit /s "%wpipath%\common\wpi.reg"

Edit your post as soon as possible because we are not allowed to talk about that on this board, unless you want a ban ... We are all aware that people use such things, but it's simply not possible to talk about them here.

Try this: cmd /c start program.exeThis will start the program and move to the next command before it ends.
