is there currently a way to add entries to the hosts file on windows using wpi?
0 -
Pretty much every dos function has to be called with cmd /c first.
How are you using that? Show me an example. It could be turned into a wizard in the Config wizard.............
dk really understand what u mean by how im using it!
mklink is part of vista
just call it like this
mklink /d "C:\example\Link Name" "c:\Link Folder Source"
the command above would create a link to "c:\Link Folder Source" with the name "Link Name" to "C:\example"
if this isn't what you was askin please explain!

if you have windows vista you should make sure it runs as administrator after reboot
a solution would be to have it disable UAC at first run! then enable UAC after all is done and over!
you can disable & enable UAC using registry
enabled & disable reg file has been attached!
if you would like a way to run it as administrator on first boot lemme know i will hook you up
dk if this is your problem! but seems to be similar error that i use to have when i tried this on vista the first time!!

Hej Hello all
I Just want to know if I can ad IE 8
I have an old unattended wich I am about to add some more things to.
SP3 and I were about to add IE7 but know I can not see that there is any notes on IE 8
can I skip IE 7 and launch IE 8?
How do I do this?
there's an IE8 Addon Here
http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?...p;highlight=ie8
the addon on that page works with Nlite 1.4.9.1 or RVM 1.6.1.

Manually add the Acer file set to your Base CD and try it.
That will at least tell you if its the .CAT file or OEMSCAN thats the problem.
I Have Made An Acer DVD Using The Same File Sets And It Activates Perfectly!! Just Doesn't Work With OEMScan

What Kind Of Disc Do I need For THis To Work? OEM, Retail, Corp?

I think you may be missing what I am asking? The scripts etc run fine. All tools are on a network share, everything installs perfectly. The script is run as "Administrator", the account is an administrator.
To clarify the issue ... When running the script, each command runs but in Vista, after each command - Be it to install an application, create a folder, delete something, add favorites etc a box opens up:
"Open File - Security Warning".
The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?
Name: \\backup\wpi\wpi\Tools\sleep.exe
Publisher: Unknown Publisher
Type: Application
From: \\backup\wpi\wpi\Tools\sleep.exe.
The options are to Run or cancel. If I click on Run - Away we go, no issue with installation. It is the Unknown Publisher that Vista is questioning after each command because of the sleep.exe command running. The bottom of that box says that the file does not have a valid signature that verifies its publisher. If User Access Control is on or off = No difference. This happens on every single computer with Vista - Surely other have the same issue because it is Vista?
dk if this will work in your case but it disabled the file prompt for me! just use a reg file to import it into the registry when WPI Starts!

I need multiple configuration to select different applications for windows xp home, mce and vista but i've seen WPI allows only one extra configuration.
Is it possible to add others configurations?
Thank you
Windows XP, Windows MCE, Windows Vista

Windows Xp Config, Windows MCE Config, & Windows Vista Config
I don't understand, if i save another configuration, it overwrite latest... i want 2 or 3 configuration...

is there a way to add entries to the host file using wpi?
in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
Posted · Edited by cworkman
well while i was waiting on a reply i made a custom solution!
if anyone else is interested here it is!
usage is as follows
to add an entry!
hosts.exe "/Add:74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com" "/Add:74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com"
to remove an entry!
hosts.exe "/Remove:74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com" "/Remove:74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com"
or mix & match
hosts.exe "/Add:74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com" "/Remove:74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com"
NOTE: requires .Net Framework 2.0
NOTE:this package adds the entries silently so you will not see any confirmation!
NOTE: this host file on windows vista is located @ C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
NOTE: if the hosts file on other versions of windows are located in a different location please let me know and i will add support!!
hosts.zip
