Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI for short) is a hypertext application designed for giving users choice. While Windows XP offers many ways of customizing the setup process out of the box, its major drawback is the lack of being able to select which applications an end user may install. In the past, end users and administrators needed to either download the files manually, or create overly complex scripts that could only be used once. WPI allows you to create one image, which can then be custom configured, and optionally, automated, so that end users can install any applications that have been configured into WPI. Here is the 7.0 changelog: * Now cleans up after itself after an aborted installation and a restart and not continue installation. * Fixed the long loading time of large config.js files. * Added Style tab to the Options wizard. Can select from 11 different Windows skins, 5 Tabs skins, 7 Sliders skins, 32 Butons skins, 17 cursors (mouse pointers), 11 Progress bars, 12 installer backgrounds, 6 installer logos. More to come......this is just a starting point. * Localized more strings. (Dynaletik) * Added line at end of installer log: Number of failed installations: 24 You can quick look here to see if all went well or had errors. * Streamlined all of the themes. All css data is now loaded in WPI.hta. * Took out Extra Width and Extra Height gadgets for installer window. It is a fixed size now. Can be put back if people want it. * Took out 16 redundant images from every theme. * Removed optionbg from all themes. It was a redundant picture. * Moved all common images to either the common\imgs or the graphics folders. * Added JSCRIPT=TimedWaitForDelet(delay,file,secs) to wait for a file to be deleted. This can be used to check if an installer temp file has been deleted. delay=num secs before start checking, give the installer time to start. JSCRIPT=TimedWaitForDelete(10,"C:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe",10) * Added JSCRIPT=TimedWaitForFile(file,secs) to truly wait for an installer to finish. This can be used to check for the existance of the program's icon or exe before doing a reg tweak. (deadbug had original idea/code) JSCRIPT=TimedWaitForFile("C:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe",10) * Added JSCRIPT= to commands to execute a JavaScript function. (deadbug) JSCRIPT=alert("Opens a window") JSCRIPT=WriteRegKey("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\WPI\\WPI_Rocks",1,"REG_DWORD") * Fixed bug dealing with RestartComputer not working if a %reboot% was done. * Fixed bug dealing with no default log file reg key being written. * About WPI is now opened in an internal window like below. * The manual is now opened in an internal window like below. * The Alt+G information page now opens in an internal window. This window can be moved and minimized when working in Config wizard to see all the functions and how to use them. * Added Corp_WindowsXP theme. This was a seperate entity called WPI Corpprate but decided to merge the two together. This theme is meant to look just like a regular Windows window with menus and tool bar. No fancy graphics. Meant to be used in a business setting where crazy graphics are not needed. Be sure to use "Show window border" in Options -> Window. There is still work to do in Config wizard......stay tuned for updates. * Fixed several bugs, updated a ton of code, streamlined code, etc....... * Updated the volume slider. Skinnable. * Took out 2 checks for CDROM. If can't find WPI.hta on an actual CD/DVD drive then cddrv (%cdrom%) defaults to %wpipath%. * Added function isInstalled().

Notes and Extras Suggested disk folder layout: With the above folder layout all your config entries should read like: ["%wpipath%\Install\Blah.exe" /switch] Here is a small tutorial on how to add an app to WPI! Ok this is a sample (Very simple) configuration for CCleaner (A.K.A Crap Cleaner) This assumes you have all of the WPI files either in the WPI folder at the root of your Windows cd or all of the WPI folders (Common, Graphics, WPIScripts, Tools, Install and Themes) and the file WPI.hta at the root of your cd. Remember this is just the most basic and required entries for a program! #1. Download the app and place it in the WPI\Install Folder. (CCleaner.exe in this example) #2. Run WPI.hta and click on the “Config” button\Icon area. #3. Choose the button at the very top above the config section that says “Add” #4. Enter in the name section “CCleaner” No quotes! Then click on any other section of the config area to activate the rest of the wizard. #5. You will notice the Unique ID section gets automatically configured for you. #6. All apps are selected to be installed by default right from the start so if you don’t want it selected by default you must uncheck this box. Also you can decide if you want this app to be a Forced Install or not. #7. Choose a category for your app to be displayed in. If you want the app to be displayed in a category you don’t see simply chose other and a box will appear that will allow the entry of you choice. #8. In the Command 1 section click on the little folder icon and browse to the WPI\Install folder and select the CCleaner.exe installer, this will place the appropriate path in the commandline. #9. Add the necessary switches for the program to run silently i.e. %wpipath%\Install\CCleaner.exe /s (This can be easily done for most standard apps by simply clicking on the USSF button on the far right of the commandline.) #10. Select the Save and then the Exit buttons and you have now configured your first app! Afterwards you configure WPI to run with your CD using whichever method you choose. We suggest using one of the pre compiled and nicely provided $oem$ (Source folder if your are using Vista or Server 2008) folders that can be found in the downloads section. Then you can use an app like nLite, vLite, CDImageGUI or the Makeiso* program included in the tools folder to make your CD w\WPI bootable again. * MakeIso.exe = Adds make bootable .iso to the right click menu of folders. It is a silent installer so DO NOT click on it 50x a simple double click is all that is need to install it. It can be uninstalled from the add\remove programs menu! Just go to the source folder (The one that contains I386 and WPI) and right click then select Make Bootable ISO... _____________________________________________________________________ I have seperated the tools out from the main archive.

The rewind button DOES NOT work on the media player... (Probably never has) WPI can no longer be placed at the root of the CD. It must be at Least ONE folder deep on a standalone cd. (So just place the WPI folder at the root instad of having wpi.hta and the folders at the root.)

You will find as you browse the WPI folders Common\imgs and Graphics folders that there are some common style images. If you create any custom ones please post them here so we can see about adding them to the main WPI download...

Any wishes, mods or additions please post here!!!

Please, Please, Please update as many of the lang files as possible because there are a LOT of new strings in this version! Remember just open lang_en.js in your favorite editor and translate to your language then post here so I can add it to the Main WPI download. Also for the adventurous types you can paste translations of the manual here to be included!!!

The theming engine has DRASTICALLY changed so please browse a couple of the current themes found here: http://www.wpiw.net/The_Dark_Side/themes.html Or here: http://www.wpiw.net/Royale_Blue/themes.html These all are updated to the new engine... Also please post any custom themes here to share with every one else...

Almost all laptops carry 2.5" harddrives. The real question is Sata Or Pata??? How old is the laptop?

Alternatively you can look at the downloads section AND in the manual thus finding this... Here is a new $OEM$ for WPI to start AFTER the desktop loads!

ccleaner....

Definatly the 4850!!! I have heard great news on that card.

It depends on the tweaks and removals you use. Most of the time when using ANY tweaks or removals you will get is created. See the file cmdlines.txt INSIDE of the $oem$ folder is used to install or make changes at the 13 - 12 minute mark of the installation proccess. So having it is actually a good thing.

That is perfectly designed actually.... That is what all of us use and the way windows was designed! You HAVE to have that folder for certain tweaks and changes!

Ummm well YEAH!!

Heck yeah!! I wanna test this!!

There is a way to add ONE to the right side but thats it JUST ONE! Sorry but what you want is impossible.

I seee you're still stealing stuff and saying it's your own. HOW REFRESHING!

SP3 AND MCE are not integrate-able...

Its wasted because you have like 30 or so programs on the left side. Go into properties and change that amount doun to like 8 and your wasetd space will be gone.

I know, I Know .... "Extra Sh!t!" What a minute never mind, Employees and their immediate family are not eligible for the prize. *sigh......

You can't. Simply put it isn't possible.

Did you look in the Tooltips section of the options menu under the Interface tab???

Not in there yet... Might be in the future...
