Winhelp32 seems to have been broken in the patching process. I am fairly sure this one is a bug with both methods of installation.

GoogleToolbarInstaller.exe /s /qn VobSub.exe /S DVDShrink.exe /VERYSILENT /SP- s*** out of luck for Windowblinds you would have to use auto-it or repack it in some way. I have no clue for Qurb. Sorry.

Where?? I say a thread for XPize and I posted the couple of bugs I found incase xpero was not aware of them so he could keep them in mind for the next release and so others were aware of these probs. All of theses are fairly easy to fix and they were probably just overlooked before release. I thought a FORUM was a place to provide feedback was it not??? LOL All things in good humor though.

During I386 patching process the file msgina.dll is not properly patched! (The background bitmap for shutdown was definitely not patched and the bitmap for the buttons did not appear to have been changed.) Also why does shdocvw.dll no longer get patched?? (Fairly major file needing to be patched.)

Oh s***!!! LOL Thanx.

Okay next question when installing is there one app during the install process that it screws up at everytime??? The only thing I can think of is an app that somehow installs wrong and kills the rest of the process. Also which app are you talking of?? Try nubering your wpi and making that app last.

How do you call wpi.hta?? I install over 130 apps, progs and reg files without any probs.

Thank you very much!

I have noticed some of the themes that have been made are being used by several people and the actual download could be smaller if we kept only the default theme and pinned a themes topic. So make a pinned theme topic or leave a couple of themes in there???

Version 3.5.1 has gone up! Get it here! Changelog - Added in better support for windows 2003. More code clean-up (in wpi.hta). Fixed bug when checking defualts while in default theme. 3 more languages added. Polish Portugeuse Hungarian Disabled VideoChanger and the resart to allow for your developing and adding of programs. To enable these features edit WPI.cmd in notepad and delete the two -- dash marks. Remember to do this for both lines to re-enable these features. Compressed VideoChanger.exe and FontInstaller.exe with upx for space saving. Removed Viao theme and added it to the Themes thread.

Hasi001 still has the ultimate decision and rights here. I am now a co-developer / website developer.

This may be kind of presumptious but can I get mod rights to the WPI thread?? I am asking because I have asked multiple times for admin or mod assistance and never get any help. Hasi and I really need to see if we can have some control over that thread. Please, Please PRETTY PLEASE!

wpi is usually installed one at a time silently with no maximum number of progs to install. Since this works daisy chain style if a app requires a user answer then wpi will still wait until the main proccess ends IE... Blahinstall.exe. So this would work fine for you. Since most of us prefer to have no-user interaction what so-ever we also use auto-it in conjunction with wpi for the apps that want to be difficult.

If any one of your want them here is the collection of regfiles that would go with the config.js in wpi 3.5 I put them in a rar package just extract to the install folder.

Works fine as is I figured it out and the way above works great. I can't thank you enough for your invaluable help with the popup boxes. Thank you.

Which option/s are you changing?

Okay so now we need to find out how to make your virtual prog to recognize the other drive. I test all of my st!t the old fashioned way. I have a crappy second pc that alway is running the crap I am working on so I have no ideah about virtual PC. I am sorry.

Since it is just for testing make your cmd file like this= @ECHO OFF REM Force resolution to needed size for wpi interface. start D:\WPI\common\VideoChanger.exe 1280x1024x32@85 -q REM Hide this command window. "D:\WPI\common\cmdow.exe" @ /hid REM Font installation - the smooth and customizable way. start /wait D:\WPI\common\fonts\fontinstaller.exe REM Special registry tweak needed. regedit /s "D:\WPI\common\wpi.reg" REM Start WPI and wait for its end start /wait D:\WPI\WPI.hta REM Cleaning up the desktop. del /s/q "%userprofile%\desktop\*.lnk" exit :end

Very excellent point!! you make a good argument for those who use this to run unattended.

Hmmmm just make a temp cmd file that reads d= %WPIPATH% and try it that way. you are just testing you installs and scripts right? So a temp cmd file will work fine for this task.

Post your cmd file and I will compile it into an exe and send it to you!!!

This is the one you normally use= REM Determine the WPI startup path. REM if wpi should run off the cd the replace %~dp0 with %cdrom%. set wpipath=%CDROM% Open the cmd file with notepad and change to reflect this= REM Determine the WPI startup path. REM if wpi should run off the cd the replace %~dp0 with %cdrom%. set wpipath=%~dp0 Save this one as something like wpi_hd.cmd when wpi is on the hard drive you need to change the context slightly to get it to work properly. Awwww crap I just reread your post and the only way to test these kinda things there are really no quick and easy way.

Okay after a lot of work and some great help I have a command file that gives two boxes one before wpi runs for info and warnings and then one after wpi runs asking if you want to reboot and if you say yes it will automatically reboot. The code reads= @ECHO OFF REM REM WPI startup module. REM 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=%CDROM% REM Hide this command window. "%wpipath%\common\cmdow.exe" @ /hid REM Font installation - the smooth and customizable way. start /wait %wpipath%\common\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 Ask if WPI really is wanted to run. echo Dim WshShell, oExec>%tmp%\WPI.vbs echo Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")>>%tmp%\WPI.vbs echo answer = Msgbox("At times during the install process some of the programs will" + vbCRLF + "use the cursor and answer the boxes automatically. So it is" + vbCRLF + "suggested that you start WPI and then leave your PC alone until" + vbCRLF + "the installation process has completed." + vbCRLF + "" + vbCRLF + "Also the screen resolution will be changed to 1280x1024 for the" + vbCRLF + "interface to be displayed properly.

SO all of you guys should I change the official version to have this in it?? For those of you who may want it I made an .exe file from this and am attaching it here. SMALL ISSUE IN THE CODING OF THE FIRST ONE SORRY NEW ONE IS HERE>

I actually use 2 .cmd files one for cd and one for testing and hard drive use.
