"install path" problem with wpi !
Kelsenellenelvian replied to j_h3000's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
Here is what you have to do: Make 2 seperate WPI folders call them WPI1 and WPI2. Configure them to suit you needs and have you install paths be %cdrom%\install. Configure you WPI commands like such: For WPI1 (Post Installation) @ECHO OFF REM Example, how to look for CDROM-drive. Must have WPI.ico at the root of the CD. for %%i in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%i:\wpi.ico set CDROM=%%i: echo Found CD-Rom as drive %CDROM% REM Determine the WPI startup path. REM if wpi should run off the cd the replace %~dp0 with %cdrom%. set wpipath=%cdrom%\wpi1 REM Hide this command window. %wpipath%\Tools\cmdow.exe @ /hid REM Force resolution to needed size for wpi interface. --start %wpipath%\Tools\VideoChanger.exe 1280x1024x32@85 -q REM Font installation - the smooth and customizable way. --start /wait %wpipath%\Tools\fonts\fontinstaller.exe REM Special registry tweak needed. regedit /s "%wpipath%\common\wpi.reg REM Make WPI directory the current directory. for /f "delims=: tokens=1" %%i in ("%wpipath%") do %%i: cd "%wpipath%" REM Start WPI and wait for its end start /wait %windir%\system32\mshta.exe "%CD%\wpi.hta" REM Cleaning up the desktop. del /s/q "%userprofile%\desktop\*.lnk" REM Rebooting the sytem to finalize the installation process. --shutdown.exe -r -f -t 30 -c "To finish installations WPI will now reboot in 30 sec..." del %0 For WPI2 (For Whenever) @ECHO OFF REM Example, how to look for CDROM-drive. Must have WPI.ico at the root of the CD. for %%i in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%i:\wpi.ico set CDROM=%%i: echo Found CD-Rom as drive %CDROM% REM Determine the WPI startup path.

Like so: [GuiRunOnce] "%systemdrive%\wpi.cmd" Place WPI.cmd #2 in the WPI2 folder and autorun is already configured to call it. If you get any errors tell me and I will help you sort them out. -

Next version teaser!
Kelsenellenelvian replied to Kelsenellenelvian's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
@oioldman = I like spending all the time on this thing. Personally, I don't care if 90% of these people won't use the new features it is the 10% I am shooting at. For those 90% the under-the-hood changes are great and the new changes can be easily disabled in the options wizard. I want WPI to be as feature rich as I can make it. (Plus everyone has wanted the checkable categories.) @glent = Point taken! A slightly modified "Classic" theme will be included also but as a lot more people are enjoying the Royale or Longhorn look I am going to make the new theme the main one. The main reason for this is all themes have become outdated and will take some time to update because none of them support the manual, the audio player or even the checkable categories. But not to worry I am already making a new blank theme file so all themes can be updated... @sonic = Yeah I know I kinda hate when updates are released on after the other but, there has been a HUGE jump in development since the release of 3.6.1 (We have each spent a couple of hours a day or more on WPI) we have made some of the biggest changes in WPI that have ever happened. After that I feel with the exception of multiple configs WPI has begun to hit a plateau and will remain there for some time. For everyone I would like to itroduce you to the WPI development team. Blinkdt & Almulder. MANY hours have gone into WPI 4.0 (yes 4.0) and we feel that we have done the best to fulfill everyones wishes (Except adding in selectable cd identifiers it just wont happen) The new audio player is nothing short of awesome! It allows you to play chosen music during the WPI ineterface and then will play from a second songlist during install and is very easy to configure.

"install path" problem with wpi !
Kelsenellenelvian replied to j_h3000's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
We can make two seperate sets of wpi folders and keep all of the installs in a common directory. but you you are aiming at is definatley possible. So get to wrk at making 2 different wpis and i will help adjust your files so that both can reside on cd... -
"install path" problem with wpi !
Kelsenellenelvian replied to j_h3000's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
Okay lets do this another way. Do you really HAVE to have your installation files copy over during install? Can't you just run the installations from cd? -
