**** double post.

hmmm odd did you remember to set the options wizard to not install by category??

Drivers Typically need a reboot to finish installing m8.

As a standard rule most applications are installed daisy-chain style ie... One goes and then after it is done 2 goes and after that 3 goes. Almost all programs will automatically install like this. The couple I have encountered don't matter they will finish in the bacground. WPI is smart enough to run progs one at a time not all at once. (God what a mess that would be)!

The part that deletes shortcuts is only in wpi.cmd Hta would not clean the desktop.

SWEEEEEEET !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Excaxtly what I want !!! And my box is waaaaaay to wide how do I denote line breaks? PERFECT!!!!! echo Dim WshShell, oExec>%tmp%\bla.vbs echo Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")>>%tmp%\bla.vbs echo answer = Msgbox("At times during the install proccess some of the programs will use the cursor and answer the boxes automatically. So it is suggested that you start WPI and then leave your PC alone untill the installation process is complete. The system will reboot to complete the installation. Do you wish to continue?",VBYesNo,"Windows Post Install Wizard")>>%tmp%\bla.vbs echo if answer = 6 then>>%tmp%\bla.vbs echo oExec = WshShell.Run("wpi.hta", 1, true)>>%tmp%\bla.vbs echo end if>>%tmp%\bla.vbs echo set WshShell = nothing>>%tmp%\bla.vbs %tmp%\bla.vbs del /q %tmp%\bla.vbs Just want to make the box so it is nowhere near as wide. Can I make yes run %wpipath%\common\VideoChanger.exe 1280x1024x32@85 -q and then wpi.hta??

It deletes all of the SHORTCUTS on the desktop in an effort to make the process cleaner if you dont like this just delete the line in WPI .cmd. REM Cleaning up the desktop. del /s/q "%systemdrive%\documents and settings\%username%\desktop\*.lnk"

Looks good will try it.

Okay now I think I got it let me try to make one first. How is this??? $MsgBoxAnswer = MsgBox(36,"Windows Post Istall Wizard","At times during the install proccess some of the programs will use the cursor and answer the boxes automatically. So it is suggested that you start WPI and then leave you PC alone untill the process is complete. Do you wish to continue?") Select Case $MsgBoxAnswer = 6;Yes Run("WPI.CMD");Program To Run If 6 = True Case $MsgBoxAnswer = 7;No EndSelect Box is still too wide and I have'nt a clue how to rename the buttons.

God that would be sweet but how do i run it in wpi.cmd? If you would just build me a blank one with two buttons one to continue and one to quit. Leave the text and title part open for me to fill just like put a crapload of aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa's there so I know where to enter my text. Or could you build one that if continue is clicked it starts wpi.cmd and if Quit is picked it just closes?

Kinda tired could i add this into wpi.cmd? Sorry but I am having a stupid moment can you elaborate?

HUH what did I miss??? Where is that?

I am also trying to figure out how to make a popup box that has some text and then buttons for yes or no for my personal usage. Yes will continue with WPI and no Will cancel WPI. Any help will be appreciated.

Okay guys I have talked to Hasi001 and he told me I could update WPI. Here is the changes I have made so far= 3.5 Change log (Reason for the build # change is because of the fairly major changes) * Made font installation customizable and smoother. * Added in a resolution changer (Set at 1280x1024x32) But you can denote your own setting through wpi.cmd. * Added auto-reboot after installation through wpi.cmd. * Added in a clean up command which will delete all shortcuts placed on the desktop after installation through WPI.cmd. * Added version number displayed through the help button. * Bypassed the Win XP/SP2 Installer Warning that prompts on each program being installed if WPI is used after Windows XP/SP2 is fully installed. * Added the following languages. Swedish Russian Spanish Romanian Czech Turkish Japanese Traditional Chinese Slovenian * Multiple grammatical, punctuation & spelling corrections and changes. Mainly in the options wizard. * Alphabetized Lang.js and Language entries in optionswizardtemplete. * Added autorun.inf. * Updated the Icon for cmdow (32 bit alpha blended). * Made the delete button more noticable in the config wizard. * Cleaned up some of the coding. * Made an "official" WPI icon. Does this look good to you guys?? I do need help on a couple of things though. I need to figure out how to make the vidchanger dependant on the theme so when WPI starts the vidchanger will work for whatever theme is selected as default. As it sits now if 1280x1024x32 does not work for you just change it in WPI.cmd to what resolution you need. Also I left my config.js file in with over 100 entries to some of the most popular apps and progs so alot of the work may be done for you. Just pick and choose then delete the ones you want. Download here ----->Widows Post Install Wizard 3.5 Mirrors would be nice. When Hasi001 comes around I will ask him to update the main site. PLEASE POST ANY COMMENTS. For updating from older versions just copy your config.js and useroptions.js into the new version. WARNING!!! The wpi.cmd HAS A ENTRY IN IT THAT WILL DELETE ALL SHORCUTS FROM YOUR DESKTOP! If you do not want this just delete this line= REM Cleaning up the desktop. del /s/q "%userprofile%\desktop\*.lnk"

Quick question for anyone who knows= Is there a way to run this with the starting of the wpi.css or wpi.htm files in the theme folder itself???? That way we could build themes that would set their own resolution. Okay major change to this I found out it does not need to be copied to the system folder so all needs to be done is put the file in the common folder and call it through wpi.cmd like this= start /wait %wpipath%\common\VideoChanger.exe 1280x1024x32@85 -q Just change the numbers to whatever you need ie.. 800x600 or 1600x1200 just make sure you get the refresh rate right. I also reshacked the vidchanger exe to give it a nice pretty Icon.

Okay updated the Lang.js file and the options template! All of the below languages are now supported by WPI Many thanx to all of the users who made the interpretations included. English German Norwegian Italian French Dutch Simplified Chinese Swedish Russian Spanish Romanian Czech Turkish Japanese Traditional Chinese Slovenian All is done in WPI 3.5

Do you want to add in your own fonts?? I found a super easy way to do it. Put the file below in your common folder Then make a notepad file with the following stuff in it.= [fonts] Monotype Corsiva.TTF blah.ttf so-so.ttf Name all of the fonts you want in this file like above the save as fontinst.inf Throw all of the fonts, fontinst.inf and fontsinst.exe all in your common folder. Then call it like this: start /wait %WPIPATH%\common\fontinst.exe All fonts will be put in your fonts folder and registered. Plus it does all of this silently with no reboot needed.

tried that but when used the no option still ran wpi. Plus would that work on cd?

i have used the wpi from a pocketdrive before works just like a cd same stuff.

For all of you guys who want the resolution set during wpi start up here is a file that will set it to 1280 by 1024 quick and smooth. (less than a second on a 466 pc). Changed the way it works. See below post.

Okay here is my prob evertime I try to compil my cmd file the exe looks for my temp folder not the wpi folder. Can some one make 2 exe files for me? Or explain what I am doing wrong. #1= @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.

Okay so my WPI is almost perfect yet I now need a pop up box with some text and a yes or no button. This needs to be done BEFORE wpi.hta runs. yes will continue and no will cancel the wpi.hta Here is my wpi.cmd file (If any one sees any way to clean it up just say what you think. @ECHO OFF 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: REM If WPI should run off the CD the replace %~dp0 with %CDROM%\PathToWPI set WPIPATH=%~dp0 "%WPIPATH%\common\cmdow.exe" @ /HID start /WAIT %WPIPATH%\COMMON\RESOLUTION.EXE start %WPIPATH%\common\fontinst.exe regedit /S "%WPIPATH%\common\wpi.reg" for /F "delims=: tokens=1" %%i in ("%WPIPATH%") DO %%i: cd "%WPIPATH%" start /wait WPI.hta del /s/q "%Systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\%Username%\Desktop\*.lnk" del /F %SYSTEMDRIVE%\WPI.CMD shutdown.exe -r -f -t 10 -c "Reboot in 10 sec..." exit :end

@ECHO OFF rem The following line hides the command window ... cmdow @ /HID ECHO. ECHO Calling WPI ECHO. start /wait %systemdrive%\$OEM$\install\WPI\WPI.HTA exit Delete the $OEM% part it is starting the wpi on your c drive like this C:\%OEM%\install\wpi\wpi.hta that would not exist because the setup copies all files to the directory after %OEM% It needs to start the wpi file in c:\install\wpi.hta plus you should use the wpi.cmd file unless you have regged the needed file from another source.

If you give me an e-mail address I will send it to you.

It is a part of Win SP2 and you need a reg tweak before you begin your install process to get rid of it. I am not sure why some get it and some don't, but if you are getting it you will get it for almost everyprogram you install. No reboot need just use regedit /s
