The tooltips interfere with the eudock. They are fighting over the mouseOver call, I assume. For now nothing I can do. Only one manual opens for me. All themes, just one copy.

I know what the problem is, and have sent some code to a beta tester, but have not heard back from him yet. It was an on-going problem that I tried to fixed, but made it worse, then from that mistake, figured out how to HOPEFULLY cure all the path problems. Are you getting these errors when run from a harddrive (testing) or from a cd/dvd or a network share? The first error is related to cd/dvd.

I found a way to call DOS commands (copy, rename, delete, etc) "internally" to WPI that does not use "CMD /C ....". What this will benefit us is that no command window will open, or just flash quickly, and better control over calls. Would this bother anyone if I stop using the "CMD /C" method? There may be some obscure need for this that I don't use or know about. If so, tell me why and what you are doing. Maybe I can still make both ways work.

It must be something to do with the service pack because it should have a language set no matter what. WPI may be running before the language is set; I don't know for sure. I put some better code and a default to English so hopefully no more error message from the above situation.

I got it figured out. Actually very easy to do in JavaScript. I already had all the code in WPI, just had to changed 2 items and voila! I can get total amount of ram, available ram, virtual ram, page file, etc...... So I don't need your program, but thanks for the effort.

I figured it out. Be looking for SEVERAL new system checks to help customize your installs.

I have the same problem on some of my computers at work: some which I installed Windows, some that came with it already installed. I don't get any errors on my home computers. I honestly have no clue yet as to why it is doing it. I get the error when install is done and self.close(), the very last call, is made. Absolutely no reason for it to error there. Don't give up on me......I will figure it out. I have to: I use WPI at work.

I thought so. The problem was, if no useroptions.js and the new windowoptions.js files didn't exist, WPI would complain at start up. When you went to Options it would complain again no useroptions.js file found, would save a default set, then continue on -OR- it would just crash. So what I did was do a check for the 2 files before WPI opens. If not exist, save a default set of options. Then open WPI like normal, go to Options, no error message. Good. What is happening is that the share paths are not being read and set properly YET because WPI is not fully open and set the default paths. I need to move the check/save code to some time AFTER the paths are read/set. Not a huge deal to do. I don't use a network share, but will be soon.

The network share paths are not being read/set correctly. Someone else is having the same problem. I am looking in to it. Stay tuned....... Some of my work computers are having errors, too, that I don't have at home. I am still testing why/when/how.

clTheme is not a WPI variable. Is it a theme name you are specifying? I did that to see if the paths are set properly with your network share. I would say they are not. WPI is not looking at the share location for those two files, tries to save the default settings, then opens like normal. Send me an email, or post here if don't mind, what they should be, just to give me an idea of where to start. Network share has always been hard with WPI.

It very well could be. Computers at my work have difficulty with WPI, old ones and new ones, different errors, different times......

Here is my old mritter_eudock_Aquarium theme updated to 6.5. It is quite CPU intensive, so keep the number of fish low (see wpi.htm). Download here

Does anyone know how to find the amount of RAM in a system using JavaScript?

cat as a variable is not a problem; it has been there since the day WPI was written. I don't know what else you could have done, your config entries work on my computer with the above new code.

Use the attached WPI.hta and post what the 2 extra alert() messages say. The paths are probably not getting inhereted properly over the network.

You can set a custom mouse pointer in your theme by adding to wpi.htm: body { background-color: #5A7EDC; font-family: arial; font-weight: bold; color: #ffffff; margin: 0px; /* cursor: auto;*/ /* cursor: url('./cursor.cur');*/ cursor: url('./cursor.ani'); } .ani is for an animated cursor. .cur is for a static cursor. Or the built-in ones: auto crosshair default pointer wait text help move n-resize ne-resize e-resize se-resize s-resize sw-resize w-resize nw-resize progress not-allowed no-drop vertical-text all-scroll col-resize row-resize

@pokemon1: Look at the very top of the theme where some variables are being set and you will see ShowToolTips=false; // ToolTips must be turned off for this theme. Will not affect other themes. Then do a search for //Add defaults, all, none to find the <td> for the configurations box. Good luck moving it. ;-)

Here are the 3 modified themes that use my euDock. In wpi.htm you will find some new lines at the top: DockType=11; // 11=Horizontal, 12=Vertical DockLocation=2; // 1=Up, 2=Down, 3=Left, 4=Right // NOTE: Docks are ALWAYS centered horizontally and vertically. // They can NOT be, for example, placed in the bottom left corner. // The ghost eyes work only in Horizontal mode You can now make the dock: horizontal and located at the top or bottom vertical and located at the left or right They can NOT be placed at the bottom left corner, they will ALWAYS be centered. The ghost eyes only work in horizontal mode.

I posted a bug fix on this problem. Download it, test it, report any problems/success in that message thread, not here. http://www.msfn.org/board/excludorIsChecke...or-t118800.html

I went back to v4.3.7b to see if something had gotten changed by accident; nope. The exact same code. I would have to say it is something you have done since no one else has reported this problem. It is probably a missing quote or closing bracket ). I did change the parentsAreChecked() typo, though. Thanks.

Here is the cure for the cond problem. I never full tested the code "chinadave" sent since I don't have an excludes at the moment. He had some when they should have been [j]. Makes me wonder if he even tested his own code. if (cond[j] && cond[j][0]) { var c = unescape(ReplacePath(cond[j][0]).replace(/\\/g, "[url=""]\\\\[/url]")); try { if (!eval(c)) continue; } catch(e) { alert(getText(ErrorInCondStatement)+"\n\n" + prog[j] + "\n" + cond[j] + "\n\n"+getText(TreatingAsFalseCond)); continue; } } Download new check.js file here: Post here is works, or if not.

Actually, half the sounds would be useful for a clean install, the other half for when you are at the desktop creating/editting your config file. Like when you make some changes, dont save, hit exit, alert pops up asking are you sure and plays a beep to get your attention.

I was asked if WPI could play a sound when starts after a Window's install to get your attention. No problem; done already. But when I went to add the code for the checkbox and find a sample, I got thinking: why not just go the whole distance and make a sound scheme for all actions: WPI starts Install starts Error/Confirmation alert in Options/Config etc. A custom sound for each, just like Windows. What I want from you is: necessary? Would you use the sounds? What else is needed? If it gets included, I will make an Audio folder in all the themes so each theme can have custom sound effects. I will supply a sample folder and start them all out with them. Probably just steal the Windows ones for now. It will also be on or off like the audio player in the installer. Give me some feedback.

There was a typo in the code "chinadoug" posted. I got it fixed. Download a new version when Kel gets it updated.

In check.js find function excludorIsChecked(i) and change this line if (!eval©) to if (!eval(c)) Not a copyright symbol. Don't know how that got in there in "chinadoug"'s post, but it did. There will be a newer 6.5.1 archive to download with this fix soon.
