You could probably take care of this with the Adlib function. This was easily implemented under AutoIt v2.64, a little trickier with v3, but highly reliable in both cases. Adlib takes care of unforeseen events like the one you describe. If you can provide the Title/Text for the rogue dialogue Window as well as the Title/Text of the Window dialogues that appear before and after the rogue dialogue, then a simple addition to the script should take care of it. Here's an example from a script I use to install the Oregon Trail: AdlibEnable("killQuestion", 500) WinWaitActive("Select Program Folder", "") Send("!n") Func killQuestion() If WinActive("Question") Then Send("!n") EndIf EndFunc WinWaitActive("Registration for Oregon Trail(R) 5", "FREE Download of Screen Shot Deluxe") AdlibDisable() ControlCommand("Registration for Oregon Trail(R) 5", "FREE Download of Screen Shot Deluxe", "Button4", "Check", "") Send("!n") After the directory selection dialogue appears a ridiculous dialogue with "Question" in the Window Title sometimes appears. Adlib is used to bypass the rogue and continue with the registration dialogue. Hope this makes sense.

.Absolutely, it was entirely my fault (it's right next to the "Make a Donation" link, another one we mostly ignore). The day I clicked the link was a revelation: "Jeepers, the answers to all of my questions, right in front of my face! Imagine that!" Idiota!

I recently rebuilt my CD and found that, yes, there are several threads on this topic, many of them confusing to me at least. To truly integrate, you need to replace four (4) files in the I386 directory to produce the Royale Theme (the uxtheme.dl_ file is specific to your service pack, an important point). My four files for WinXP Pro SP2, including instructions for changing the Wallpaper to suit your tastes, can be downloaded HERE. Works for me every time, hope it works for you.

@Paddaman Welcome. I burned through 100s of CD-Rs before I finally got smart and started using CD-RW media, been using the same 25 discs for over a year, great investment! Also, please be aware that a step-by-step GUIDE exists, one of MSFN's best kept secrets. No joke, took me a few months before I stumbled across it.

One more time: You can download a working GUI package HERE. Edit: Took a tip from orustom and added DVD Shrink and OverDisk, nice apps!

Just checked the latest version 3.5.1 and, yeah, no scrollbar graphics. But you can alter the hex values found in this section of wpi.css (themes-->default) to customize the scrollbar coloring to suit your preference: html { scrollbar-arrow-color:#AEFFFF; scrollbar-track-color:#5A7EDC; scrollbar-face-color:#478FDD; scrollbar-highlight-color:#69B8FF; scrollbar-3dlight-color:#3577C5; scrollbar-darkshadow-color:#194890; scrollbar-shadow-color:#2862AE; } Use ColorPic to help mix and match hex values, if I may be so bold.

Here you go: AutoItSetOption("TrayIconHide", 1) AutoItSetOption("MouseCoordMode", 0) BlockInput(1) Run("idman404.exe") WinWait("Internet Download Manager Installation Wizard", "Welcome to Internet Download Manager Setup program") MouseClick("left", 335, 340) Sleep("500") WinWait("Please read IDM license", "LICENSE For Internet Download Manager") MouseClick("left", 335, 340) Sleep("500") WinWait("Choose Destination Location", "Setup will install Internet Download Manager") MouseClick("left", 335, 340) Sleep("500") WinWait("Select Program Manager Group", "Enter the name of the Program Manager group") MouseClick("left", 335, 340) Sleep("500") WinWait("Start Installation of Internet Download Manager", "You are now ready to install Internet Download Manager") MouseClick("left", 335, 340) Sleep("500") WinWait("Installation Complete", "Internet Download Manager has been successfully installed") MouseClick("left", 335, 340) WinWait("First run of Internet Download Manager", "This version of Internet Download Manager has Advanced Browser") ControlClick("First run of Internet Download Manager", "This version of Internet Download Manager has Advanced Browser", "Button2") WinWait("Internet Download Manager", "Categories") WinClose("Internet Download Manager", "Categories") ProcessClose("IDman.exe") ;Shutdown(6) Exit You can remove the ";" comment from ";Shutdown(6)" to force a reboot if you feel the need. Many hidden buttons in this one, so I settled on MouseCoordMode. This has been tested on fresh installs running screen resolutions of 1024x768 and 800x600. Compile the script using AutoItv3 and place it in the same directory as idman404.exe, it should install and then kill the app.

Click HERE. Then HERE.

The scrollbar is actually a series of four images found in the "graphics" directory, on my version of WPI at least: down_inactive.gif scroll_bg.gif up.gif up_inactive.gif How are your Photoshop skills? You can create any graphics you want and swap them out.

A quick search for "links folder" found THIS. My registry file shows that I use the entry mentioned in the thread, and I don't have no stinkin' "links" folder neither.

Good, let us know, of course. I have also used an AutoIt script run from WPI, don't know if it would work from RunOnceEx: AutoItSetOption("TrayIconHide", 1) AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 4) BlockInput(0) Run(@ProgramFilesDir & "\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe") WinWait("Internet Explorer", "Internet Explorer is not currently your default browser") Send("{ENTER}") ProcessClose("iexplore.exe") Exit I've attached the compiled script. One of these methods should work for you, we hope. IEdefault.exe

@Yzowl Yes, I should have compared your file to the attachment as yours certainly appears to have the critical entries needed to set IE as the default. I did in the past use the attachment for one of my uA series and it worked well. @Marthax Let us know how it goes, as this issue pops up now and again. Your feedback will benefit others.

I recommend that anyone playing with WPI read THIS, especially the two sentence blurb on compatibility. Also, I am a little confused: you say you are "showing Internet Explorer script errors" but you also say you are using FireFox, not IE? I'm not a Firefox guy, sorry for that.

I Googled and found a lengthy registry entry that does the job. Let us know how it works if you choose to use it. IE_Default_Browser.zip

@coucou Once you get comfortable with those hex values you might want to try a tool like ColorPic to refine things even further. Good luck.

@maniaq How's about if you .cab 'em per prathapml's instructions HERE (in the Driver Forum, of all places)? Works wonderfully with the latest driver release.

Oh, deXter, a tip of the fedora to you. As Forrest Gump would say, "one less thing."

Firewall: Router Anti-Virus: AVG Advanced Windows Tuning (software like tweakXP): Regedit Download Utilities: N/A E-Mail: Gmail synched w/Outlook Webdesign: HomeSite & Dreamweaver & TopStyle Graphics Development: Photoshop & ImageReady Hard-Drive optimization tools (defraggers for example): Window Washer & Diskeeper Windows error Checking (Like Norton Utilities): N/A Anything else that comes to mind: Burning & Images - Nero & UltraISO Audio & Video: WMP10 & MPC Spyware: MS AntiSpy Browser: IE Productivity Suite: Office (complete) I don't know what a virus is, I don't know what a pop-up is, I don't know what Spyware is, and I haven't seen a blue screen since loading XP.

Hmmm, I didn't know that an .hta application could be run with anything other than IE. You could try diabling Script Debugging in IE to bypass one of the error messages found in your .rar file, but it looks like main.js is messed up. If I were in your shoes, I'd load up IE and start again, adding one app at a time to isolate any errors. Also, check THIS THREAD. Hope that helps.

After further investigation I found that everything was not working fine. So I recreated manually and NOW all is well.

Hmmm, setting MPC to play all video in fullscreen mode by default was trickier than initially suspected. RegSnap wasn't much help, turned out to be a job for AutoIt: AutoItSetOption("TrayIconHide", 1) AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 4) BlockInput(1) ;open MPC Run(@ProgramFilesDir & "\K-Lite Codec Pack\Media Player Classic\mplayerc.exe") ;open Options dialogue WinWait("classname=MediaPlayerClassicW") WinActivate("classname=MediaPlayerClassicW") Send("!v") Sleep("500") Send("o") WinWaitActive("Options", "Open options") ControlClick("Options", "Open options", "Button3") ControlClick("Options", "Open options", "Button19") ControlFocus("Options", "Open options", "SysTreeView321") Send("{DOWN}") Send("!v") Sleep("500") Send("!a") Sleep("500") Send("{ENTER}") Sleep("500") WinClose("classname=MediaPlayerClassicW") Exit Works for me when MPC is installed as part of the K-Lite Codec Pack. The compiled executable is run as part of my WPI post-install routine.

*DELETE*

But at the end of the day, am I correct in believing all of this is just a stop-gap measure given that the Removal Tool is updated monthly? I mean, the value data for the reg key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RemovalTools\MRT" changes monthly per THIS discussion. So even though the tool has the same name and KB number, it actually IS a different tool writing a different value that is impossible to predict, resulting in a Windows Update nag sooner or later? So for the security-minded among us, we are hosed. Reminds me of grade school, when everyone was punished for the naughty behavior of a few.

@anandus Try it after removing the space between the /v and /qn switches: MSanti.exe /S /v/qn vs. your posted MSanti.exe /S /v /qn

The WPI Site has a great "View example config" entry worth studying. Let us know how it goes.
