WPI natively will try to change the resolution of your desktop to 1200x1024 all you need to do is open the cmd file in notepad and delte the line that says= VideoChanger.exe 1280x1024x32@85 -q Delete the whole line and cmd will work fine on your system. Your video card or monitor doesn't support higher resolutions and this is why it happens. The resolution is set at that resolution becuase it is what most users have shown to use and for theme support. Leaving the resolution at what you have it will in no way affect the performance of wpi so don't worry about it.

I have never had the problem. As far as I know the problem has not been reported by others.

Will you please share those??

In the common folder of wpi is a reg file that wpi calls during wpi.cmd just add this in there.

Examples The following example shows how to perform an unattended installation and make the program accessible to all users of the computer. A silent installation means the setup program runs without prompting you for input. Type the following: .\setup.exe -s -v"-qn pidkey=1234567891234567891234567 allusers=2 username=Username organization=your company" Here are the command switch overview. -s Instructs the setup program to run without displaying the user interface. -v Passes parameters directly to the installer program, Msiexec.exe. -qn Instructs the installer program, Msiexec.exe, to run without displaying the user interface. pidkey=pidkeynumber Specifies the unique product key number that is required to perform the installation. Do not use dashes when typing the product key number. allusers=2 Installs Virtual PC for all users of the computer. If you do not include this parameter, the program is installed for the current user only. username=user Specifies a user name to associate with the installation. If you do not include this parameter, the installer program retrieves the name of the current user from the registry. organization=organizationname Specifies an organization name to associate with the installation. If you do not include this parameter, the installer program retrieves the name of the organization associated with the current user from the registry. installdir=directoryname Specifies a custom directory in which to install the program. If you do not include this parameter, the program is installed in C:\Program Files. This is a VERY different app to install unattended.

I got a simple work around make a cmd file and put the command you need in it like so = %systemdrive%\install\applications\VIRTUALPC_2004\Setup.exe /S /v"/qn pidkey=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx allusers=2 organization=YOURCOMPANY installdir=c:\programme\VirtualPC2004" then just call the cmd file from wpi like %systemdrive%\install\applications\virtual.cmd

There is a setting in the options wizard page you must set to force install on exit.

I have never personally used WPI from a network. But be patient several people do and someone will be able to answer your question.

No imean when wpi.hta runs it compiles a full script from the theme folder and then adds in the config.js and options.js and so on and so forth .hta actually just take all of the scripts and adds them together into one file during the process of using WPI. So each script is easy to change/maintain especially when upgrading to another version. I was looking at each script and theme folder as being kind of modular. P.S. Not sure quit what you mean by that image if you mean for screenies in the manual and examples, then yes default theme would be used for those images.

Hmmmm your ideas are both worthwhile and defiantly worth looking into. Both of those are going to be VERY hard to implement though since WPI is kinda modular. Maybe we could find someone to build a theme designer assistant? That would cover all of the font/image issues. Anyone have any ideas for this? Maybe I can find a way for config.js to display icons I will look into it, it is kind of interesting.

As long as the entries in wpi config.js match.

These extras are just those you don't like them or need them delete them. For testing just use wpi.hta to call wpi. Most people use 1280x1024 and alot of progs REQUIRE a reboot to be fully functional. The font thing I am personally on the fence over, I use it becuase I have custom fonts in my theme and other themes use custom fonts so technically it is part of the themes support Anyway it really is not going to hurt your system to have a couple of extra fonts install silently.

You need to put the wpi folder alongside your I386 folder not in your oem folder. then call guirunonce and all installs from %CDROM%\WPI\WPI.cmd and %CDROM%\WPI\Install\blah.exe

No man copy those files into the new wpi folder. LOL

I am glad I could help happy that you are getting your WPI configured just the way you want it.

What is the folder loyout of your disk?? Also you really need this stuff near the top of your cmd file = REM Example, how to look for CDROM-drive. Must have a file to identify in its root (like WIN51 or WPI.ico). 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=%~dp0

You are not the first one to report this kind of prob the last one was just a corrupted download thogh so try it again and just for kicks run it before you replace any files. Also copy both your useroptions.js file and config.js files over.

Simple I use auto-it and the only change you need to do to your scripts is compile them into exe files so the will run without auto-it installed. P.S. Right click on a au3 file and of the selections is compile to an exe. an exe..

Thank you Asta!!!

Ohhh **** that is nice are you going to share??

what is the layout of your cd and did you modify your cd file for use form drive? "%~dp0"???

Thank you I had used a backup a couple of days ago and I guess the backup still had tthe serials.

LOL save much time.

Ummm how do we know??? Could you show us more info??? We can not help you if we don't know how you are calling WPI and if you are calling WPI.hta or WPI.cmd.

You arre looking in the wrong direction on those to run at first logon you need to call it from winnt.sif. Call it form guirunonce for starting after initial logon.
