I have around 30 items, only takes 7-10 seconds for the theme to display, on an old laptop.
The theme engine is much improved and expanded, but it shouldn't take long at all. Do you have multiple categories or one or two long ones? The more columns it has to calculate, the more time it takes.
Network settings would have no affect. Sorry, I don't have a definitive answer for you since I can't duplicate your issue.

Universal Silent Switch Finder. In the Config Wizard. Automatically fills in the switches for your programs. If you don't know what it is, then you don't need it. BUt strange it won't copy.

As far as WPI knows/cares, the dos command, exit, ran properly so it was successful. What exit sends to the program launcher is another story. Obviously it isn't listening "properly". Nothing I can do about that.

There are too many entries in the first category. Either re-arrange the order of the categories, or make sure "No column break" option is not checked.

I would say it is a privalege issue. The file is used for USSF, nothing unique about it. It is obviously something on your end.

I haven't forgotten about this. Just finished moving into new house and getting all set up..........................

If you don't have the full header in your config.js, it wasn't updated properly. It should look something like this:
// WPI Config 8.0.0
//
// User defined options
//
// Configurations tab
CheckOnLoad='default';
Configurations=['Server','Test','P2P','NAS'];
ShowMultiDefault=true;
// ---
SortOrder=['Drivers','Spyware & Virus','MultiMedia','Applications','Utilities','System','Windows Mastering'];
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Your programs here...
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Either manually cut the lines from useroptions.js into config.js, or go into each Wizard, save each one. Then go back and manually updated your settings.

WPI won't do anything extra for you in most cases. You either have to know and put in the switches yourself, or use the USSF button next to the command line. It can be used with output or silent.
99% of the time people use silent switches. But I know of a few people on here who don't for some odd reason.

The wizard is meant to create users and any network settings. This is the preferred method an IT admin should use. You can make a list of several users ahead of time and pick whose computer you are installing for at install time.
{JSCRIPT}=CreateWindowsUser(Name,Password,Administrator)
Usage: {JSCRIPT}=CreateWindowsUser("Mark","hkS8l23M",true)
Note: Password is optional. Administrator=true/false. Switch user to take affect.
is the other option.
{JSCRIPT}=MapNetworkDrive(Letter,Path,Reconnect)
Usage: {JSCRIPT}=MapNetworkDrive("T:","\\Server\Share",true)
Note: true or false for Reconnect at logon.
is the built in method instead of the script.
If you map the drive before logging into the user account then it will not work. Use the "Load desktop before install" setting.

Kel and I have been asked for an online library of software before. I have talked with Whimsy, the original author, about making an .ini file with silent switches, description, etc. Download the archive from our site, extract to Install folder, WPI scans the folder, adds them automatically if have the .ini file.
It has never been done, or probably will, because Kel and I are not going to maintain all the programs. We don't have the time for it. I like the idea of it: always having the latest version handy, and maybe could even be downloaded during the install process.
I will get back to you on how you want the count to work later.

Yes, there is an entry for every one you made. WPI can't differeniate that you are doing a 32/64bit test. So one will always fail, one will succeed.
Good to hear you got it all working.

The latest and greatest method to install Windows from is a USB key. CD/DVDs are slow by comparison and limited in size.
I have updated WPI 8.0.3 to detect if started from a USB drive. By default it will act like it was started from a dvd. The extra buttons (Options, Config, etc) are hidden since I assume you are installing Windows, not modifying your config file.
I added a new option in 8.1.0, "Check this box to automatically hide the buttons if started from a USB drive." This is checked by default. Uncheck it for use when testing or making changes.
You would definetly not want this checked if you have a USB key you carry around from computer to computer to just install software.
Sorry, but you will have to wait a bit for 8.1.0 to come out. It won't be long. Moving along nicely with a new major feature.

You HAVE to use RunCmd() for everything.
{JSCRIPT}=if (getBits()==32) RunCmd('%wpipath%\Install\CCleaner.exe /s',false,true)0 -
He is referring to a new option in 8.1.0. I started a new topic on USB drives. The topic here is closed.

Yeah, if you don't specify the full path it won't work. It will think you mean the current directory you are in, which would be WPI's folder, or C:\. In your case the quotes wouldn't really matter since there are no spaces in the path.

Well.......the way things are right now, no. I really don't like the layout engine and the Excl/Cond/GCond checker. I have wanted to re-write it for a long time. It will be quite the job, but it is on my To Do List.

I did set the count aside for now. I was supposed to have moved a month ago, so I packed all my notes up. I have not moved yet, 2 more weeks, so I haven't gone back to them. It won't be done in the near future, but keep reminding me.
The the wpi.css style sheet file has the new "duplicate" entries for the text. All you may want to change is the font-size or color. I started all themes with the same size and color for the default. There is a comment line at the start of the list style, and one at the start of the logo style. Nothing extra is required. The image is taken from the tool tips. The short description is a new text box under the Name box in the Config wizard.
I do want to spruce the display up more, like in the mock-up picture I posted. That was hand drawn, so not a complete theme. Just need the time...........

The path I updated has nothing to do with the audio. Does the player appear? Does the "progress bar" move like it is playing? Are you sure your audio drivers are installed?
No one else has mentioned the audio not working, so I would think it is isolated to something you have changed.

I did a quick test with this .cmd file:
CMDOW @ /HID
IF EXIST "%programfiles(x86)%" GOTO :X64
xcopy "C:\WPI\ChangeLog.txt" "C:\" /Y /i
GOTO :END
:X64
xcopy "C:\WPI\wpi.xml" "C:\" /Y /i
:END
EXITThis is my logfile snippet:
Saturday, June 12, 2010 6:48:36 PM
Program: Test Copy
Unique ID: TESTCOPY
Order: 900040
Category: Applications
Saturday, June 12, 2010 6:48:36 PM - cmd1 Success (returned code 0): "cmd.exe" /C "C:\WPI\Install\TestScript.cmd"
Saturday, June 12, 2010 6:48:37 PM - Finished installation.My file is in quotes, yours is not. Add quotes and see what happens.
Also, try not using %systemdrive%, use C:\ just to check if variables are honored.

Yeah, back in the day there were more options there so space was limited. I think I will be getting rid of that combobox soon.

Awhile back I updated the code to use the correct 32/64bit cmd.exe and I think it is not quite right. I will do some testing and see what's up. Be expecting a beta copy from me via personnal message on here.

Post the log file results of the batch file you are trying to execute. I think I know what it may be.

Options Wizard -> General tab -> combobox -> Sort within categories. Check it.

That was an error on my part. I was testing some stuff and forgot to switch it back.
Go into your theme's folder, open wpi_theme.js and delete the lines at the end.
Sorry. They are all fixed in the latest download package.

how do i create symbolic links using wpi?
in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)

Pretty much every dos function has to be called with cmd /c first.
How are you using that? Show me an example. It could be turned into a wizard in the Config wizard.............
