With v8 there is a new layout style that has a "comment" line. With this new line you can specify "Requires DirectX".

v8.0.0 fixed this issue.

Try to do it this way: cmd /c copy /y %wpipath%\testfile %systemdrive%\ This is done in the Config editor. Double backslash it if do manually.

Start WPI from desktop, press Alt+G, go to Variables tab. What does it say for WPIPATH and SYSTEMDRIVE? Now compare those to what the install log says.

You would normally leave the language selected to "By System (Default)" so if it is run in Germany it will load the German lang file. If run in France it will load the French lang file. Etc.... WPI will figure out which lang file to use. If doesn't exist, it will use English.

You're gonna kick yourself........ {FILECOPY} You need the brackets. All commands need those.

I may have this issue fixed. Waiting for response from Clown.

I fixed this problem in v8.0.0.

All I can say is use quotes and make sure destination path ends in a \.

I sent him an update to see if fixes the problem. Is anyone else having this problem?

Put both paths in quotes. And look at your log file. Spaces in paths the killer.

I did find some JavaScript code on how to extract the icons from an exe and save it. It's not as straight forward as you would think it is. The extracted images are pretty low quality; I want PNGs not icons. Maybe I can come up with something in the next version. The images I am asking for are for the tooltips and the new logos layout style. 32x32 is the size they are scaled to for the main screen. 128x128 or 64x64 is common in the tool tips. Thanks

I am looking for the original logo's for programs in PNG format with transparent backgrounds. I don't want some other person's variation of it; I want the original. Preferrably 128x128, but as low as 32x32. I want to increase the supplied logos for the new layout style for v8.0.0. If you have a bunch, please post a download link to them here.

I am hoping for a May 1st release. HOPING.

I suppose I could add another command line arg: WPI.exe lang=ENU Specifiy whatever 3 letter language code you need. Would that help?

There is nothing that WPI does that would make a program not create a shortcut or not make it not install. If you feel you have the silent switches correct, then maybe the author has it set up wrong in the installer script to not make a shortcut when doing silent install. It's not what you want to hear, but that is all I can offer you. Otherwise use the CreateShortcut() command to make your own.

The default langauge is their language, not what I preset it to. getOSlang()=="ENU" Press Alt+G to see them all.

1) Fixed in v8.0.0 2) User the spacer.gif image and give it whatever size you want. 3) Your theme's wpi.css, .hrule and .hrulebacknext. Put width of 0%.

Thanks. Code updated.

Same image as tooltips, except resized to 32x32. Deault is Graphics/Logos. Will add a "Short description" text box under the "Name" text box. Keep the ideas coming.

I wish it was real easy to extract the image from the exe. Don't know how to do it in JavaScript (haven't looked yet). Kel and I have added a folder, Graphics/Logos, with some starter png images. This will be the default path. If this idea is desired, we will supply a large collection to get people started. I have made the image into a theme; almost done. No fancy graphics yet. Just getting a feel and look for it in the real world. One idea I did have was to have both styles: traditional compact list and new style. Selectable in Options Wizard -> Style tab. Can be switched on the fly.

I was emailed this picture by a guy named David. I loved it! It was one those "Why didn't I think of that?" moments. It does eat up alot of real estate, but looks sharp. I have already started the updating for it and made a new theme. Still have some final tweaking to do. The image will no longer be shown in the tooltip. If don't have a logo, nothing will be shown, but still 2 lines of text. The second line of text could be anything: version, short description, system requirements, etc. Do you still want columns? Or like above with 1 column, 2 items wide? Or even more wide if want. Alternating background colors for categories like above? Fancy boxes around selected items like above? Throw out all your ideas or complaints. I want to wrap up v8 soon. I keep getting new ideas like this that push back the release date.

I am still making updates on v8.0.0. The latest item I am working on is the conversion of the config.js to JSON. I will probably convert other files to JSON, as well. My main computer is still down, mobo dead. I want to build a new system, but a short on money. The only way to speed up getting v8.0.0 is if I got some donations. Hint hint.

I hope you aren't planning on taking the name out completely. That wouldn't be cool. Just go in to the theme folder of your chose and change the png image to you own. There is a new theme engine coming out with v8.0.0, which will be out soon.

Is that the UTF-8 charset, or Russian? It has to be universal for every country that has this problem. Everything I have found says JavaScript will only save in ANSI.
