Hello Bishooman, I'm trying your project, but where can I download the attachments you refer to / Winpe3.0ver0.1.rar? + Filedisk.reg: should it come from filedisk-17 as downloaded, or is it customized and in those attachments? + do I need filedisk-17\sys\obj\chk\i386\filedisk.sys or filedisk-17\sys\obj\fre\i386\filedisk.sys? Kind Regards,

SOLVED! Yes it existed, but with an extra space at the end of the value name. Thanks a lot !

None of the following tests work for a REG_DWORD with value 1: gcond[pn]=['RegKeyValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Policies\\Explorer\\NoRecentDocsNetHood")==0x00000001']; gcond[pn]=['RegKeyValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Policies\\Explorer\\NoRecentDocsNetHood")=="0x00000001"']; gcond[pn]=['RegKeyValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Policies\\Explorer\\NoRecentDocsNetHood")==1'];

Hello guys, is there a way to check the registry for a binary (hex) value? For instance to check if windows start and exit sounds are disabled: gcond[pn]=['RegKeyValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\AppEvents\\Schemes\\Apps\\.Default\\SystemStart\\.Current")=="0"']; Above code tests for a string value, while it should test entries like the following: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ; removed start and exit sounds [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemStart\.Current] @=hex(2):00,00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemStart\.Default] @=hex(2):00,00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemExit] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemExit\.Current] @=hex(2):00,00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemExit\.Default] @=hex(2):00,00

wpi.hta works very nice over a UNC networkpath now, except for 2 warnings "Could not save ./WPIScripts/useroptions.js" and "Could not save ./WPIScripts/windowsoptions.js" For the rest, no strange things to report, except a real pleasure while using WPI 7.2 ...

Rebooting works OK now with WPI.hta from a USB stick, but still fails when starting wpi.hta from a permanently mounted network drive

I have an English, French and Dutch version of a program. Dependent upon the OS language, I would like to install only the correct executable. I wonder if the getOSlang()=="xxx" condition can only be used in the cond[pn] line, so you need 3 separate entries in config.js, or is there a possibility to use the condition in a cmdx[pn] line? e.g. cmd1[pn]=['getOSlang().substr(0,2)=="EN" && "%wpipath%\\Install\\OFFICE\\Acrobat Reader\\8\\ar812lite_US.exe"']; cmd2[pn]=['getOSlang().substr(0,2)=="NL" && "%wpipath%\\Install\\OFFICE\\Acrobat Reader\\8\\ar812lite_NL.exe"']; cmd3[pn]=['getOSlang().substr(0,2)=="FR" && "%wpipath%\\Install\\OFFICE\\Acrobat Reader\\8\\ar812lite_FR.exe"']; //getOSlang(): --- see : http://www.msfn.org/board/List-of-return-values-for-getOSlang-t101612.html&hl=locale + http://www.msfn.org/board/using-conditions-for-language-and-SP-version-t101617.html&hl=getOSlang%28

"Execute Before" option: how to enter a relative path? Using WPI from an USB stick, i want wpi.hta to execute a batch file before. As you can't be sure of the driveletter the stick will get, a relative path is needed, e.g. .\Tools\wpi_Execute_Before.cmd. In that commandfile, I would like to use the variable %WPIpath% to solve the driveletter issue. Can this be done, or am I missing something obvious? ----------------------------------- ---- Sorry, works OK !!

Wishes concerning "gcond" I use it to determine if a program is already installed as in: gcond[pn]=['FileExists("%programfiles%\\7-Zip\\7z.exe")'] However, if there is a newer version, I would like to override the grayed out condition: to be able to put a checkmark in the grayed out check box, so that the new version gets installed anyway (or is there a better way to achieve this) Second, I would like to test a registry value by means of "gcond", so that is visible which registry tweaks are already installed. Third, but this is rather the "cond" statement, I would like to test for the pc's name, so that something gets only installed on that pc, or on any pc except that one ... (I'm currently migrating from WPI 4.3.8, I'll add other wishes when I think of them...) I'm fond of WPI !

In version 4.3.8, manually editing the config.sys, I could use the exact dimensions of the picture, and the picture displayed all right in the tooltip: picf[pn]=['ICONS\\SpaceMonger.png'] picw[pn]=['200'] pich[pn]=['37'] textl[pn]=['Bottom'] Now, if I use the Config wizard, and save, all the picw / pich / textl lines for this item are gone from config.js ! This means before I can migrate a record from my 4.3.8 wpi to the new 5.3, I have to truncate / pad / resize the tooltip image to those standard 32-48-64-80-96...256 pixels width and height. I would be nice if WPI could use images of any dimensions in the tooltip, and that we don't need to look up and enter the picture's dimensions manually... P.S. small bug in the config wizard: when you browse to a picture file, e.g. WPI_5.3\Graphics\ICONS\DoomII.jpg, then the wizard fills the Picture File field with "DoomII.jpg" instead of "ICONS\DoomII.jpg"

As the installation sources are not under WPI_5.3\install, I use this to reference them: regb[pn]=['%wpipath%..\\TWEAKS\\disablestartandexitsounds.reg']; The folder structure under my E:\INSTALL : GAMES ... UTILITIES TWEAKS WPI_5.3

Sometimes I use WPI on an US Windows XP, sometimes on a Dutch Windows XP. I now need to use duplicate code: prog[pn]=['RegShot v1.72'] //STATUS: *** PROBLEM: a new Variable %StartMenuPrograms% in the WPI scripts would avoid multiple cmdlines. ... cmd1[pn]=['"%SHARE%UTIL\\REG\\RegShot\\RegShot.exe" /y -o"%programfiles%" '] //for Dutch Windows XP: cmd2[pn]=['CMD /C IF EXIST "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%Menu Start\\Programma\'s" mkdir "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%Menu Start\\Programma\'s\\IT Utilities\"'] cmd3[pn]=['CMD /C IF EXIST "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%Menu Start\\Programma\'s" xxmklink.exe /q "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%Menu Start\\Programma\'s\\IT Utilities\\RegShot" "%PROGRAMFILES%RegShot\\RegShot.EXE'] //for US Windows XP: cmd4[pn]=['CMD /C IF EXIST "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%Start Menu\\Programs" mkdir "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%Start Menu\\Programs\\IT Utilities\"'] cmd5[pn]=['CMD /C IF EXIST "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%Start Menu\\Programs" xxmklink.exe /q "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%Start Menu\\Programs\\IT Utilities\\RegShot" "%PROGRAMFILES%RegShot\\RegShot.EXE'] //add desktopicon to US windows XP: cmd6[pn]=['CMD /C IF EXIST "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%Start Menu\\Programs" xxmklink.exe /q "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%Desktop\\RegShot" "%PROGRAMFILES%RegShot\\RegShot.EXE'] //add desktopicon to Dutch windows XP: (but no 7th cmd available) //cmd7[pn]=['CMD /C IF EXIST "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%Menu Start\\Programma\'s" xxmklink.exe /q "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%Desktop\\RegShot" "%PROGRAMFILES%RegShot\\RegShot.EXE'] .. uid[pn]=['REGSHOT'] pn++ I tried to use these numbers to no avail: ; Shell Special Folders ; ; 16409 %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Desktop ; 16407 %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs Or am i missing an obvious way to accomplish this? (i prefer creating the shortcuts from WPI rather than from a separate CMD file) Some other things on my wish-list: 1) a variable for the harddisk which has the most free disk space. Reason: if there are multiple harddisk partitions, e.g. a C: containing the SYSTEM, and a D: containing the DATA, I want to install some games rather on the D:\GAMES\ than on the C:\GAMES 2) an EXPORT tool, to create a WPI subset on one or more DVD's for instance. I now have a networkshare to run WPI from, and which is backed up to a large USB hard disk used for home installations. The Export tool now should display the normal screen with the available programs to install, but the selected programs and all else in the source folder they are in, are copied to a separate destination folder, together with a copy of WPI with it's config.js changed accordingly. 3) I like to put hyperlinks in the description, but for the moment there is no way to click on them and open the link in a separate browser window: desc[pn]=[' <B><u>2006-03-05</B> </u>Small and secure browser with a built in popup stopper, security update feature, and custom theme support.
