Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI for short) is a hypertext application designed for giving users choice. While Windows XP offers many ways of customizing the setup process out of the box, its major drawback is the lack of being able to select which applications an end user may install. In the past, end users and administrators needed to either download the files manually, or create overly complex scripts that could only be used once. WPI allows you to create one image, which can then be custom configured, and optionally, automated, so that end users can install any applications. WPI is a simple to use automation program for the choice and installation of multiple programs, tweaks and scripts. No longer will you need a dozen CD's or more when doing a fresh Installation. No longer will you need multiple files when you are servicing another PC. With Windows Post-Install Wizard all that you will need is 1 or 2 CD\DVD's to fully install your PC with all of your apps, scripts, registry files or tweaks. Instead of having to re-download those apps like adobe reader, flash or updates to programs you can have them all on one disk. With WPI you can have all of them all on one disk and then have a nice interface for selecting which apps to install and after configured properly WPI will install all of them without any needed input from you. WPI also and is commonly used added to your windows installation disks. This way you can automate the complete process of Windows and program installations. With your typical setup of WPI you have your OS and all of the apps, tweaks and such on one disk. After windows installs, WPI kicks in and you are given a selection of everything you have configured WPI with, then you can select the ones you want or simply let the timer run out and your default apps will install. Highlights of the newest version! Loads of new features! Please read the changelog... Known Bugs\Issues! You cannot minimize the installer window. You cannot "click 'n drag to highlight items. Enabling this exposes a bug that causes instabilities. The rewind button DOES NOT work on the media player... (Probably never has) Nero 7 messes with the IE scripting engine and WPI will not work if Nero 7 has been installed or is currently installed. HOWEVER, This link to Nero Clean tool --> HERE has been reported to fix this issue. So if you wish to use WPI and have had Nero7 installed you will want to "clean" your system first. Change log!!! (Below in the spoiler section) Notes and Extras Suggested disk folder layout: With the above folder layout all your config entries should read like: ["%wpipath%\Install\Blah.exe" /switch] Here is a small tutorial on how to add an app to WPI! OK this is a sample (Very simple) configuration for CCleaner (A.K.A Crap Cleaner) 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. Download the app and place it in the WPI\Install Folder. (CCleaner.exe in this example) 2. Run WPI.hta and click on the ?Config? button\Icon area. 3. Go to the very top area above the config section and click on the button that says ?Add? 4. Enter in the name section ?CCleaner? No quotes! Then press the TAB button to activate the rest of the wizard. 5. You will notice the Unique ID (UID) section gets automatically filled in 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 commands tab click on "Add" at the controls area just right of the command line pane and then the the little folder icon and browse to your folder that contains the app, preferably the .\WPI\Install folder then select the CCleaner installer, this will place the appropriate path in the command line. 9. Add the necessary switch(s) for the program to run silently. For CCleaner the switch is /S so you would have your command line looks like so = "%wpipath%\Install\CCleaner.exe" /S (This can be easily done for most standard apps by simply clicking on the USSF button on the far right of the command line.) Other switches for apps that USSF cannot identify you can try looking at the forum section here = MSFN Application Installs section, 10. Select the Save and then the Exit buttons and you have now configured your first app! After wards you configure WPI to run with your CD using whichever method you choose. We suggest using one of the pre compiled and nicely provided $oem$ (Source folder if your are using Vista or Server 2008) folders that can be found in the downloads section. Then you can use an app like nLite, vLite, CDImageGUI or the ISO Creator program included in the tools folder to make your CD w\WPI bootable again. _____________________________________________________________________ I seperated ALL themes except for the WIn7 and windows themes out from the main archive.

OK, OK I know a few of you are wondering about WPI's increased size and if there is anything that can be done with it. This is not as dirty as the last time I visited the theory but here is what can be removed and WPI still runs at base functionality! Notes: Cannot use the USSF, Extract, reschange functions or anything else like langs, graphics and such. Remember this is for BASE usage! OK I removed the following: Audio (Keep the install.m3u file in the audio folder) Graphics (Whole folder) Lang (Keep lang_en and your chosen lang file) Manual (Whole folder) Themes (Keep your chosen theme!) Tools (Keep Sleep.exe) Change Log.txt WPI Info.txt I tested this with a completely new WPI config and on a fresh installation of windows... YES there is more that COULD be removed BUT I don't want to get to detailed or limiting on the functionality! Remember all you need to do to restore ANYTHING is to and the files back in!

You do know nLite IS NOT for business or corporate usages right? It says it right in the license that you agreed to when you installed it. You deserve to have to fix EACH machine seperatly...

This whole thing is not normal behavior. Personally I think you may be screwed. However as a last ditch effort remove your towers power cord, mobos cmos battery and press the power button to fully drain the memory. Then put everything back together and see if you get some kind of normal boot behavior. Edit: After some googleing I have found others with this issue (OR you have asked elswhere) you are most definatly FUBARed....

OMG DO NOT DOUBLE AND TRIPLE POST!!! It is against the rules and HIGHLY frowned upon....

Do not forget all of the super hidden files from each os like pagefile and such...

WTF is vistalizator !?!?!?!

Thanks to a couple of you that donated I only owe @ $1,000 now! I truly appreciate this.

OK Lemme handle this one: #1 Doing so exposes a bug and causes problems in hta files.... #2 Why? Just set WPI to a higher res when configuring. #3 Not quite sure what you mean here. How would this be achieved? #4 This is a feature of WPI and unlikely to be changed as it CANNOT select ALL due to the fact that not ALL can be selected.

The driver can be added to the BOOT.wim just like any old driver... use rt7lite or win7 toolkit from wincert. The driver can be obtaned from your motherboards website. As to the bios thing go into you bios and look for the setting called ahci or compatability mode.... (don't set it to ahci) Gimme the make and model of your motherboard I will help you find the info.

The OS is not recognizing the SATA drive contrroller. Either add SATA controller drivers or set your BOIS to ide compatablilty mode...

I would like to thatnk you all for your well wishes. Things really suck a** right now. My income has been cut in half (Essentially) I still owe $1371 on the funeral costs. I have constant nightmares. (She died in bed next to me while we were sleeping.)

From your VERY admitted use of warez and WPI I am really hesitant to help you...

When nLite integrates a SP in win7 it miffs up key algorithm thus rendering the disk useless. From an earlier thread that discusses this in depth:

I am sorry but I just have to laugh... Illegally downloads a WPI with a ton of apps in it and then comes for help?? I get so many emails and messenger calls exactly like this. If I had mod powers here I would ban you.

@ Moonchilde! AMEN! This "elitist" attitude alot of the newer people (and some of the veterans) have gotten lately is quite disturbing. Yes I am guilty of this at times too.

Lack of a SATA driver...

http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_winxp_8.43.html Hmm I find these as the needed drivers submixic...

On your motherboards driver disk....

The link provided was to DOWNLOAD certs and slics to make a disk legit. That is ILLEGAL! What all of the other posts and threads do is instruct you on how to make\obtain your own from a running system YOU OWN!

You CAN integrate SP3 on a vanilla disk! You HAVE to go sp1a THEN sp3 on a running system!

You are missing the ident files from your disk. win51 win51ip win51ip.sp3 These 3 files HAVE to be on the root of your disk!

That will only work to get you banned here...
