    I am beginning to wonder why I even started to write a new manual...... Put it on cmd 2: %sleep% 30 For a 30 second delay.

    Ah crap! You are correct. I did some more testing and found the "problem". It has to do with the insertion of the category name in the install list. I will check in to it more. I know what the problem is, just a matter of straightening it out.

    The current problem with Cond causing the category check box to not check/uncheck it's item's is due to the item not being rendered, so the category can never be totally checked. This confuses people. One solution would be to show the item, disable the checkbox, and either change it's color or do a strikethrough the text. At least then you could see why the category checkbox does not work. BUT it also eliminates the whole idea of hiding what can't/shouldn't be installed. The strikethrough would give a good visual clue. Post your opinions and I'll go with a majority rule.

    Another possibility, one I ran into myself, is if you save the config sorted, but then made some changes or turned off sorting, the order is still read in the order they were saved. So you may have some new 'A' entries at the end of the list. I know, it's weird.....I'll keep some more sorting ideas in mind.

    @Lost Soul: Good idea on the install by category sort order, not just a-z order. What I could do is sort the list by the order you have them specified in the 'Categories sort order' on the Installer tab. They would be installed in the order you have them in the main display. Sound good?

    I couldn't download it. Please email to me.

    You have SortWithinCats=true. Does what it says. Nothing has been changed in the installer so it is not a new "bug".

    @Muiz: I got you now. Well, with the grid, cursor keys are supported. Jump to a starting letter could be done. @Lost Soul: Skipping an item really couldn't be done because once WPI launches the installer there is no way to stop it. Thus the point of silent install switches. WPI waits for the current item to finish installing before Pausing or Aborting. I also could not replicate your error with the categories not being listed in the log file. I would first guess you have some bad qoutes (" or ') in your descriptions that is causing the lines to not be read correctly. Look at the entry before the problem one.

    @Alogar: Go into the wpi.htm file, near the top change the maxentries=29 to 24, for case '600'. This is how many items per row allowed for the resolution. And make sure you have 'No column break in categories' checked.

    @Muiz: I don't know why you don't have a scroll bar anymore, but replace you file with this one and let me know if it works.

    @Alogar: WPI cuts off the top title to give some more room for the items. It is working correctly.

    Yes, there are some very small changes: 1) If line exists with 'dhtmlXGrid.css', take it out. 2) Update this line: <body class="body" onload="SetScriptWaitTimeout(); fillBoxes(); check(CheckOnLoad); window.focus();" onClick="stopInterval();" onKeyDown="stopInterval(); CheckKey();"> 3) Update this line: <div id="InstallButton" style="visibility:visible;"> That's it.

    @Lawrenca: Fixed WINDIR. Wasn't 100% sure on that. My grid layout or your filter system hasn't been decided on yet. I would like to merge some features of both. Still some time down the road. Highlighting of some sort sounds good.

    Glossy_Horiz theme fixed. My bad. I had copy/pasted from my mritter theme and didnt't change the path. Look for it and other themes updated to 5.5 from Kels or me soon.
  15. mritter
    I did some quick tests. Are you specifying the entire path of the options file? w:\wpi\wpi.hta options=w:\wpi\wpiscripts\useroptions_int.js If the file does not exist, or path is wrong, it does default back to the useroptions.js file.
  16. mritter
    I can make WPI save the entire path of the music files, not force it to use WPI\Audio exclusively. May be an issue though when do place them in the audio folder; path would change. Would have to have a text gadget to edit each line's path: %wpipath%, C:\MP3s\, etc. On my to do list.................

    Kev, Yes, I hope to have all options avaible for Workgroup or Domain, static IP or DHCP, DNS, WINS, User name, computer name, password........going for it all. It will need some fine tuning from people like yourself; I don't have access to any servers/clients using domains.
  18. mritter
    Looks good. I was going to do it another way, but this may be better; more possibilities available. I will plug it in and do some testing............
  19. mritter
    I do have an idea on how to update the layout of the items which will keep the Next and Previous buttons aligned properly. I don't know if it will lead to something like that, the columns will still be there. This is something for down the road, not any time soon. Do post any ideas you have to help improve the interface. Better yet, post it with an image.

    That is also on my agenda, but it will cost me some money to do it. So......for now the navigation grid is first and if popular, then I would like to update the entire wizard to a grid system. We shall see.......
  21. mritter
    I added an option to re-open the WPI window after installation is complete. Look for a small updated 5.5 soon. I am saving my big updates for a later time.

    The latest Nero 7 is causing errors, as well.

    It has been brought up several times that a way is needed to sort the config list by: Install Order, Category, Name, etc. The current system does not allow it very easily. So I came up with this grid system below. It allows for sorting either column in either direction, clean look, but it hard to size properly for all resolutions. Another system is the second link below. It would actually have 2 drop-down boxes: 1) Sort by why 2) Show what category. So that system would only show the selected category sorted by your criteria. As a whole, the entire config wizard needs an overhaul. It is a space hog. Something needs to be done. I want your ideas, opinions, moans and groans, you name. How can this be updated with future expansion?

    Nice code, Zorphnog. But I have already written code for those functions. Use the above code if you want, but it won't be the same for 5.5.

    No. The tool tips interfere with the dock. I am looking for a replacement for the tips, but haven't come across one as complete.
