One msi must ended before an other starts. this happens if you start an installer packed msi or on in an rar.exe. Then this happens: WPI starts maybe Prog1.exe which is an rar archive with msi inside Prog1.exe is decompressed to temp directory and start msi inside Prog1.exe finishes while msi starts Cause Prog1.exe is finished WPI starts the next step, Prog2.msi msi of prog1 is still running, so you get your error message. what you can do to solve your Problem: Set rar sfx-archives to temp mode Unpack packed installer to temp directory and copy the extracted msi to wpi/install instead of the original installer, to start it directly. Hope it helps.

Hi you havent understood right. I want to include cleanup-script into wpi, but not being visible in the wpi-window. But always in the following runonceex. Now i have it in the wpi.exe. Its just a cosmetical change.

Hello found one BIG bug: Ktool + WPI cannot manage .msi installers!!! Ive tried with and without parameters- the same, msi installers wont open. .exe make no problems. In the original ktoll version also were problems with msi, heres the msfn thread: Ktool thread. Seems like you have to write in the ktool.ini file for .msi something like MSI = file.msi" /qb REBOOT=Suppress and for .exe like this: RunWait = Office\OpenOffice\setup.exe And now what genarate.js writes to ktool.ini in my system32: [ACD See 7] Context = Office Description = Installiere Programm RunWait = C:\EasyBoot\disk1\WPI\install\ACDSee7\ACDSee7.msi /passive Description = Installiere Programm RunWait = C:\EasyBoot\disk1\WPI\install\ACDSee7\LMClient.exe Description = Installiere Programm you see thats the wrong command for .msi Im very bad in Autoit, so i cant imagine how to solve - but maybe somebody else?

Yep! Works! Another question: how can I give ktool directly a command from wpi.cmd to execute an application. for runonceex it works like this: SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "End" /f REG ADD %KEY%\1 /VE /D "Cleanup" /f REG ADD %KEY%\1 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\WPI\Common\cleanup.exe" /f How to do the same with ktool? EDIT Solved it by myself. Found a ktool thread at msfn: Ktool But found some serious new problem. you can read about in wpi4.4 testers thread: 4.4rc1 test

How can I make my cleanup.cmd invisible in wpi window and run it always after all programs are installed? Means last step of installation is always the cleanup, without option to check or uncheck it. Anybody some suggestion? maybe change one of the .js or make a new point in config,js?

hi ktool works fine, but I cannot install from CD anymore. I options menu the install from CD function isnt included anymore. maybe it works with the new wpi.exe, but I have written my own wpi.cmd which i want to use. Keep the Install from CD Function. Or is there any other solution?

Hi ktool is a great new feature. But how can I edit the ktool.exe to fit the language? Autoit v3 wont open it and reshack also dont. Does anybody know?

Hey - I got the same problem! I have also no answer. But maybe it has someting to do with MUI Cache ( there windows watch for curently used progs etc...). In Nlite you can disable the MUI for languages. Maybe... ? But I have no time to test it. Please let me know if you find out something. Bye Wixfigur

Hi I want to play video while installation, but dont know how to get the player into fullscreen and repeat mode. anybody know these and other switches? wixfigur

HEY!!! ATTENTION !!! Deleting the file intro.wm_ will screw up your Outlook Express! I dont know how the stupid introshow wmv depends to email, but Outlook doesnt work anymore, if this file is deleted from i386 folder.

Last edition

I did it using installrite, works fine. with all fav- icons etc...

Hi - the files name is: intro.wm_ (what else!!!). Ive deleted the dependent entry in the txtsetup.sif, cause it is copied from cd to hdd in txt mode ( maybe shows file not found ). works without problems. Bye Wixfigur Maybe someone has any suggestion to delete/change the "please wait..." screen? OOBD was the wrong way.

Maybe somebody could help me. I have no background picture while WPI ( or runonceex ) is installing. Just the microsoft babyblue. I start the wpi.cmd from [GUI Runonce] in the winnt.sif. Before wpi starts, the background from the logonui is shown, after I execute the install, there is nothing. Is it possible to get any picture there? Thanks wixfigur

HEy ! Thank you! found it! Ive searched allways for an AVI. - but what do you mean with OOBE resources?

Hi - I want to change or delete the " please wait...!" screen ( this is what the german version writes on the screen ), with this ntoskrnl background, and the short video after this. The video is shown just before the logon- screen. I´ve finished all my multiboot/ personal windows and all works fine, but these two screens are left original microsoft. In the german forums, nobody has any idea in which dll or exe these things are, perhaps here somebody can help me? bye, wixfigur Ahh - by the way, OS is Win XP pro SP2
