To put it simply and honestly: that's the way it has always been. WPI has always done it this way, I don't like it so I added Execute Before and After to take care of my needs. The 999 was original, 999999 came later like in 4.4.

I have been wanting to build this in to WPI, but couldn't find everything I needed, either. I would either need command line switches and/or read from a .ini/.txt file and set all the options: IP, DNS, Workgroup or Domain, Computer name, user name and password, etc. The above looks good in the screen shots, have not tried it yet. NETSH can't do like 15% of the above. WSName has potential, have not tried it yet, either, just glanced at the website.

Yes, the option is back in. Improved on it: [ ] Show Extra Buttons [ ] Do not show if started from CD/DVD Checking the main box will always show the extra buttons. Checking the second box will automatically hide them if started from CD/DVD.

@Sereby: 999 is not the highest install order. 999999 is. And you can't have 'Install by category' checked, either.

All I can say is remove config.js and useroptions.js from the folder (don't totally delete them) and start WPI over from scratch. Go in to Options and have it save a default set. Quit. Restart to see if you get an error again. If not, bring back in your config.js and start again. If error, then you know it is something in there.

@Zorphnog: I updated the code to use RunOnceEx so it starts before the desktop is brought up. But it does not start before the user logon screen. I talked 'acomputerwiz' about this and we found a way to make it work with an autolog on BUT neither one of us really likes it at this point. Too much can go wrong. If WPI or an installer crashes it could possibly not clear the auto logon next reboot. This is fine for most home users who normally use the Admin account. but in a work environment it would not bo good. It is easy enough to remove for an IT guy, but, for now it is on hold. I sent Avneet and Kels a copy to test but they have not replied back yet..............

Dude! I can't read your language or your mind. What does it say? Where and when does it happen? I can't help you if you don't help me.

I understand now. Makes sense to me. I will add this ability.

I don't. Translate it to English for me, please.

I will put the Extra Buttons toggle back in, but probably not in the same manner it was. The beta testers had no complaints about it, so I assumed all was ok. The media player in WPI's main window is gone. I took a poll and the majority agreed to drop it. I am trying to add features to make WPI more usable in the IT field, not just home users. Make it more "professional". Playing an MP3 at work would be frowned on, I am sure. The latest archive says it is 5.5 because I sent Kels an update from the Las Vegas airport (free wi-fi is cool) from which I already changed the version. It was needed quick to get the wpipath bug taken care of.

Hi, everybody. I just got back from Las Vegas the other day, so I will catch up with one big reply message: Hot keys are coming.......hopefully. Have a new tool bar in the works. DriveExists() will be put in. I like the idea of importing an entire folder and fill in details automatically. %root% will be put in. Might even expand on it. %sleep% already built in. Will look at others. %reboot% already built in and customizable Navigation pane sorting is also sitting here waiting for me. Will have sort by Install Order, Category, or Name at first. Log file alert will be looked at. Theme editor is being worked on by Almulder. He is still has a lot to do. I check with him and see if I can help him out. I have some ideas on how to ease theme updates and creation. Much like someone mentioned the php include method. Here is what I still have on my to-do / wish-list: Finish the manual New tool bars for Options and Config wizards. May roll over into main window Fonts box like Audio Player Clone config entry If timer=0 don't open WPI window (may not be possible) alert() message box in install process to show a message Self-closing alert() boxes that close after X seconds so don't halt install process New tab to add IP Address, DNS and WINS, computer name, etc. My list shrinks and grows daily. Keep the ideas coming!

@lawrenca: That has been an issue for a while now. Some people wanted to have the category un-check all items below when un-check the category, some don't. Then you run into issues with Forced and such. I have it in my notes, I will settle on one some time soon.

I sent Kels an entire new arcive to post. Download the new one as there are also fixes in installer.hta, as well. Sorry. It was all my fault.

That wpipath bug was all my fault. When I took out the self-added +"\\"; to wpipath, I didnt't update the code in the scripts to reflect that chage. I sent Kels an updated copy to replace the archive here on the site. Download and use that one instead of the "patch" that was posted on the forum.

It can be done easily enough. But I don't really see why you would want to re-open the WPI window when done installing. Fully explain your wish for this so I understand why and I will consider making it an option if it is useful.

almulder has been working on this for some time now. He is only 25% done. He has been busy moving so hasn't gotten much done recently. I can't give you any time frame for it.

For the languages, just pick the language from the drop-down box. That item you are selecting is Use Transitions not Use Translations. Ue Transitions is for the Tool Tips.

That's one part of the problem with having the Media Player. If you are playing songs in the installer, MP10 is open, so MP11 can't overwrite it. The files are in use and can't be deleted/overwritten.

@DJackson: Use the new command getOSver() on Cond Or GCond lines: getOSver()=="XP" or getOSver() != "03" @GrowBigTrees: I just added RegKeyExists() and RegKeyValue() for Cond and GCond for 5.4.

The question marks means that some "succeeded", some "failed". Just a visual clue. Used that for the lack of something better.

I already made an update like this for 5.4. What mine does is scan all the fixed disks (harddrives) and compares the letter with wpipath. If they match, started from harddrive and WPI will use it accordingly for a new USSF feature I also added for 5.4. If not hdd is "" (blank) and assumes started from CD/DVD and continues with those checks as normal. With this new feature WPI checks if started from CD/DVD or HDD. If CD/DVD then it will auto-hide the Extra Buttons (Options, Config.......). If from HDD it will show the Extra Buttons. No more having to remember to turn them off in Options before burning your disc.

You can do whatever you want. cmdow.exe is not required by WPI.

@soporific: If you mean you don't want the literal path for a program or cmd file, then use %cdrom% or %wpipath% just as you would in the Config wizard. Or %sysdir%, %programfiles%, %systemdrive%, etc.

Not yet. I am writing a new manual that will break down every function, every command, in some detail. All the extras will take a little bit of time. I hope to have it done for 5.4's release, but not sure if I will make it. I have a lot of new ideas on my plate right now.
