Couple of random WPI questions.
mritter replied to freeAppz's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
Correct. -
Everything I have always gotten as a return/check value is binary. You could try RegKeyValue(...)=="0x00000019" which is 25 binary. The binary equivilant is in parenthesis (25) next to the hex value. Don't use quotes when checking a number.

Couple of random WPI questions.

I found a new IE6 PNG fix to correct the problem. It will be released shortly in 7.2.2 maintenance release. I am not adding anything new, just bug fixes and tweaks of old code that needed to be updated. The new fix works 95%. Some buttons with rounded corners still have the problem. Still working on it....... -
That is correct. When run WPI from harddrive, %cdrom% is blank. When run from a cd/dvd %cdrom% will be set accordingly. If you want to do installs from desktop, you need to start WPI from the CD, not from C:.

Post a section of log so I can see what it says.
-
Yeah, I made some updates that were complete, started that section, forgot about it, uploaded the new fixes, and well, errors. Download a new copy or just reverse the commented lines for now. 7.2.2 will be out soon.

Themes & styling images!
mritter replied to Kelsenellenelvian's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
To change the Success/Failed colors in the installer: In the theme folder, installer.css .InstallSuccess { font-family: arial; font-size: 9pt; color: green; /* background-color: Window;*/ } .InstallFail { font-family: arial; font-size: 9pt; color: red; /* background-color: Window;*/ } -
New wishlist (7.2.0+)
mritter replied to Kelsenellenelvian's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
Al, if you want the entire list of entries to be displayed first so you can scroll up/down, then start the actual install and change the images as it moves through, and show each commands command line, why? 1) Showing the command line has already been made into and option to hide it, so I doubt anyone would want it on each line and wouldn't want a horizontal scroll bar. I don't. 2) Why would I want to look ahead? The whole idea is to be unattended. If I'm going to sit there and watch it, I can see that it is moving and how many items remaining at bottom: 5/25. 3) What's not to get by seeing this: Adobe Reader Command 1... That tells me it is installing that item and will tell me when done. Show me any installer that shows you a list of files it's going to install before it does it. Not necessary. 4) There are no return codes that mean anything. It is either a success or not. If it gave me any details I would have done it originally. 5) It's not as easy as you think to update the lines. Especially when you throw in a reboot. It took me a while to get the listbox to auto-scroll. Remember, this is JavaScript, not C++, where the API code is well refined and automatic. -
Couple of random WPI questions.
mritter replied to freeAppz's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
When adding a new item or command, type in the Name or Command string and hit the TAB key so the text is accepted. If you click anywhere else first then it still thinks it is blank and errors. If that was the case, what did you click after typing in the Name? Maybe I missed disabling a gadget. -
Make an entry for each driver, a D410 and D420. Make a condition for each so one will get hidden (or grayed). Check the box below the conditions and let WPI fill in the info. When you do Alt+G on a 410, does it say 410? And same for a D420? Or are they the same on both machines?

New wishlist (7.2.0+)
mritter replied to Kelsenellenelvian's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
@engjcowi: That's what multiple Configurations are for. Options -> General tab -> List of config choices Enter some names: My Computer,Mom's Computer,Joe's Computer (commas, no spaces at commas) Check Show mulitple defaults. Config -> Details -> set as Default for global programs. Assign a Configuration for computer specific programs. Before install, pick a config and it will check the specific programs automatically. ============================== @AlBundy33: Not going to do that. Counter at bottom is good enough. -
Exit works fine for me. Did you modify any code or theme?
-
@Stoner81: Options -> General tab -> Options combo drop down box -> Sort within categories.

7.2.1 Problems with JScript TimeWaitForFile
mritter replied to Jackson0's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
You are correct. Forgot all about these. Use the new %comma% variable.......for now. I will automate this in next maintenance release. {JSCRIPT}=TimedWaitForFile("C:\path\file"%comma%10) {JSCRIPT}=TimedWaitForDelete("C:\path\file"%comma%10) {JSCRIPT}=WriteRegKey("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WPI\blah"%comma%1%comma"REG_DWORD") The simplest things can make the most headaches................ -
This is a maintenance release. See the Change Log for the bug fixes. Happy Birthday, Kels!

Possibility to generalize video controller String?
mritter replied to loub2001's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
It is possible, but at this point I don't want to do it. Maybe down the road. I would imagine not all vendors supply all their graphics card drivers on 1 cd. IT people will need specifics, so need the entire string. I will add it to my list. Maybe: getVideoControllerManufacturer(). -
Has anyone installed Nero 7 with the new reg key tweaks? It is a similar problem as Office caused. Just curious.............

New wishlist (7.2.0+)
mritter replied to Kelsenellenelvian's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
Keep the ideas coming! I am taking notes. @icnocop: I like your idea for the command line arg. Easy enough to do. @AlBundy33: Taking notes, not forgetting about you. -
Issue resolved.
-
I have to agree with Kels for now. The comma is causing the split. I have an idea, but have to do some testing..............
-
Now that you have shown me that and said you never set the order, then technically, it is correct to not show the order. BUT, that was because there used to be a drop down box where you picked items, they got inserted in a text box. Now with the grid I ASSUMED everyone set at least some sort of order. Guess not. At least now I kow what the culprit is.
-
That will have to do with the new unlimited command lines. I was expecting something like this to come up. The comma is probably the cause, but it shouldn't be in this situation. Does WPI split the command into 2 seperate commands, or just drop everything after the comma? Send or post the install log for that section.
-
There must be a small bug I missed. Will look into it this weekend. It must be pretty specific since I haven't had this problem yet. But some other have replicated it.
-
Making it an option to not show the path is only because it will throw the "look" off alittle. I will look into it. It is easy for me to hide, but a fair amount of work to add the option. Using another text color won't work unless you add your own css class and manually change it. But then each new version will need to up changed. Give me a add or two and I will decide on something. BTW, what is the big secret you need to hide and encrypt all this stuff?
