1. Include modifype with the installer. 2. Remove the shell extension and add a shortcut in SendTo instead. Thanks

Just ran a simple batch to test it out, works a treat Well, it works when you remember to patch uxtheme aswell . Thanks for your help Xpero.

That was quick!!! Thanks, I'll give it ago.

@XPero, I'm trying to make a patch installer to update the logon screens (logonui, msgina and shell32) to royale and set Royal Full Start Menu as default (I like the thiner lines). What I'd like to know is, how did you get around the issue of SFC kicking off when you patch system files with XPize? Thanks.

1) Shall give it ago! (didn't know you could do it already) 2) I couldn't figure out what was happening so a removed all other commands from the cmd except executing CDSwitch. All I saw was something like this: ... IF Exist Y:\CD.txt Set CDROM=Y:\ IF Exist Z:\CD.txt Set CDROM=Z:\ IF Exist D:\CD.txt Set CDROM=D:\ IF Exist E:\CD.txt Set CDROM=E:\ IF Exist F:\CD.txt Set CDROM=F:\ IF Exist G:\CD.txt Set CDROM=G:\ IF Exist H:\CD.txt Set CDROM=H:\ ... This isn't accurate but you get the picture! I'm not sure if recurse is the correct wording for this but it's a continuous process that never exits i.e. it never finds the drive. If I change the name of the .cmd or run the same command from run I get no problem, finds the drive instantly. It's not really a problem though, just strange .

Just a quick question, If you include the msi redistributions (instmsia.exe and instmsiw.exe) in your archive and execute your silent install on a 9x OS: A. Will the relevant redistribution get installed silently if required prior to installation taking place. and B. If it is installed will it screw with the rest of the installation. I know this was brought up earlier on in the post but it wasn't really answered. Thanks.

@Bâshrat Since the changes you've made with the latest gui versions of the BASE it's very easy to implement your packs on a multi-boot disc anyway. Using M2: Simply run the BASE on each OS and copy the OEM folder to root of the disc (for one of them), done. I can't see that anything else needs to be done unless you wish to have different driver or KtD setups for each OS. Thats just my take anyway. Keep up the good work.

1. If your asking this question then you know what your doing is wrong which everway you cut it. 2. If you want it done right do it yourself. Stop cutting corners and create your own custom disc. There's enough resources here for you to do this and you might just learn something in the process. 3. Well there isn't a three, just stop asking stupid questions that are likly to get you kicked. Thats all I have to say on the matter.

@Nanaki I've found a bug . Actually it's not that bad just interesting. I run my entire unattended install with infs, the only batch file I have is to launch cdswitch. This .cmd, cdswitch.exe and cmdhide.exe are copied to HDD via an addon I've created at T-24 (ish). cdswitch.exe and cmdhide.exe are copied to %systemroot%\system32 and my batch is copied to %systemroot%. This is finally executed via RunOnceEx at logon. Anyway I changed the name of my .cmd last night to CDSwitch.cmd and experienced an interesting result. CDSwitch sticks, recursing like a maniac, trying to find the disc label. I fully tested everything to make sure it was cdswitch causing the problem. I found the only action I could take to fix the problem was to rename the .cmd to anything else other than CDSwitch.cmd. As I said this isn't really a big bug but I though it might be worth noting. This brings me to a new request. For the next version would it be possible to add a function to execute a program using the disc label as the root of the disc. so instead of using a batch ... FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\DVD.ICO SET CDROM=%%i: cdswitch Disc_2 /g:Disc_1 /d /r:%CDROM%\WPI\WPI.hta ... You could execute this via an inf with out setting a cdrom variable. Somthing like this cdswitch Disc_2 /g:Disc_1 /d /r:$Disc_2\WPI\WPI.hta or is it this cdswitch Disc_2 /g:Disc_1 /d /r:$Disc_2 & "\WPI\WPI.hta" I'm a nOOb when it comes to AutoIt but you get the picture. I don't know how easy this would be to code and if it's not possible don't worry but it would be a nice feature. Anyway that's it, keep up the good work.

@ Nanaki Just to update you, I've tested the new CDSwitch in VM only and all is well. I havn't had a chance to do a real time test yet but I can't see it's gonna make a difference.

/qn or /qb depending which you prefer. Your also gonna need bridge and commonfilesinstaller installed or you get errors with the program. I do an admin install... msiexec /a "<whicheverfile>.msi" of these three installers into one folder and then execute each one with one of the above switches. Hope this helps.

Thanks guys I've been trying to figure this out for days. Problem solved .

Ok, I've been trying to get this to work using this: gcond[pn]=['(getOSver()=="2K" || getOSver()=="XP" || getOSver()=="03")']; But it's greying out the selections in XP, what am I doing wrong? If I use a combination I get no problem. gcond[pn]=['(getOSver()=="2K" || getOSver()=="XP" || getOSver()=="03") && !FileExists(\'%Systemroot%\\system32\\drivers\\sptd.sys\')']; I am sorry but I really don't know what I'm doing wrong , help pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase.

IT WORKS!!!! I've only managed a quick test in VM and it didn't envolve a disc swap but all the gui is there. The Welcome screen disappers and for a split second you can see a blank window before CDSwitch re-spawns the image. This is perfect as far as I'm concerned. I'll have my WPI disc up to scratch by the weekend so I'll run some tests in real time on my other HDD. Oh, and I love the new cup holder feature by the way

Thanks mate, I'll test it and get back to you.

Since WPI has gone into dev overload recently (thankfully) may be you should speak to Kel and mritter about adding these options in to WPI permenantly. This is good stuff. I have to say I love the radials, they work so much better than the current exclusion does.

Your a star, thanks . Edit: cdswitch /s /o /g:Disc1 Does actually make alot of sence, why didn't I think of that......

It would be a crying shame if you stopped dev on this, theres nothing else quite like it! The problem here, as I see it, is that the graphic isn't integral enough to survive external interferance i.e. welcome screen change. So, would it be possible to code a version with a pain text message box or atleast put in a switch for it. That way your using the code itself to create the box and everything in it. This leeds me on to my other problem. I tried launch CDSwitch in silent mode but this always failed: cdswitch /s /o Disc2 /g:Disc1 ...what am I doing wrong? I see the /s switch is also used for sound could this be conflicting?

I tried sleep.exe but I didn't set an argument of 1000 , I'll give it a go though. I'll add it to may cdswitch addon and test it in a day or so. I'm abit busy with WPI at the mo. This is a wicked util by-the-way .

I use an sfx rar, no probs. Setup=PRO11.MSI /qb TempMode Silent=2 Overwrite=1 Title=Microsoft Office 2003 SP2 Setup Obviously you get the default install but you can always uninstall the components you don't want after.

Someone else tried to edit the msi before but it always caused me problems so I've been using an autoit script to cancel the activation screen during install. This is brilliant, well done . Back to simple switches it is then!

I wish to blank all installations if Windows 2000/XP/2003 is not found. I was reading an old thread about using GetOSver to disable an installation though Condition. I was wondering weather this has been implemented in v5.1 and if so how to use it. I'm a complete n00b when it comes to java scripting so please be precise. Thanks

I've created a royale replacement theme for the standard glossy theme. Just copy archive contents over original images in the Themes\Glossy dir. Update: I just notice that this topic is still linked to the WPI web site so I thought I'd better update this. I've changed the wallpaper to be like XPise. Enjoy

1. Could there be an option to arrange the items in the left of the config window as install order instead of alphabetical. Although I use a category install I still add install order numbers to keep track. I think you could probably do away with the Config Lister aswell if you implement this. 2. I don't know If you can do this but could there be a mini header for each catagory thats installing, not a biggie if you can't but it would be nice.
