What Variables are available in WPI 5.0.1?
Kelsenellenelvian replied to kev_147's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
The suggested waty to use WPI now is to place all of your install files in the WPI\Install files and any sub directories contained therein (this is the method I use for both stand-alone and Windows\WPI combinations disks) Using this method and also using the variable of %wpipath% will allow WPI to set the path from the folder wpi.hta is run from... Also I noticed the sections of your config file that have 4 \\\\ marks how did this come to be? All that is needed in the config file is 2\\ (there is probably the cause of the issue you are having.) and you should read and download the manual and the first post for wpi 5.0.1 in the stickies section it has some great examples of folder layout and installation options. Remember this is just the most basic and required entries for a program! #1 Place the desired app in the install folder. (In this case WindowsDefender.msi) #2 Run WPI.hta and choose “Config” #3 Choose at the very top above the config section “Add” #4 Enter in the name section “Windows Defender” <-- 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. #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 browse to the installation package you want to have installed. You will get (%CDROM%\WPI\Install\WindowsDefender.msi) to make this work from either a stand-alone CD or form a windows CD You should change this to “%wpipath%\Install\WindowsDefender.msi” Once again NO quotes! #9 Add the necessary switches for the program to run silently i.e. %wpipath%\Install\WindowsDefender.msi /qn #10 Select the Save and then the Exit buttons and you have now configured your first app! Suggested disk folder layout: With the above folder layout all your config entries should read like: %wpipath%\Install\Blah.exe As to what variables WPI uses and recognizes WPI can recognize nearly all system variables.. Plus please post really loooong things as an attachment or in codeboxes it save time and doesnt make for annoyingly long posts. I have attached one of my current config files for you to browse and you should be able to see some of what I have been talking about. I am always glad to see WPI used in a corporate enviroment and please by all means contact me on messenger if you have any questions.

Excerpt from the WPI manual: Edit WPI.cmd with notepad and add whatever config you wish to be loaded when WPI loads. Example: WPI.hta Home Or WPI.hta All Note: The variables are case sensitive. You can also set the timer to whatever value you wish. Example: WPI.hta Home 30 <-- This will select all of the Home selections and set the timer to 30 seconds.

program list height
Kelsenellenelvian replied to molyember's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
<script type="text/javascript"> if (top.status != "") { winheight = top.status; } cols = Math.round((winheight/3*4)/320,0); if (!maxentries) { switch (winheight) { case '600': maxentries=19; break; case '768': maxentries=26; break; case '1024': maxentries=42; break; case '1200': maxentries=44; break; default: maxentries=31; break; } } </script> This is inside the theme\wpi.htm file. as you can see there is a maxentries section here just make the # bigger untill you ge the right amount. -

5.0 User Manual
Kelsenellenelvian replied to Kelsenellenelvian's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
Here is a small tutorial on how to add an app to WPI! Ok this is a sample (Very simple) configuration for Windows Defender Beta 2 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 Place the desired app in the install folder. (In this case WindowsDefender.msi) #2 Run WPI.hta and choose “Config” #3 Choose at the very top above the config section “Add” #4 Enter in the name section “Windows Defender” <-- 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. #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 browse to the installation package you want to have installed. You will get (%CDROM%\WPI\Install\WindowsDefender.msi) to make this work from either a stand-alone CD or form a windows CD You should change this to “%wpipath%\Install\WindowsDefender.msi” Once again NO quotes! #9 Add the necessary switches for the program to run silently i.e. %wpipath%\Install\WindowsDefender.msi /qn #10 Select the Save and then the Exit buttons and you have now configured your first app! -
