%~dp0 is a variable that leads to the path where the batch script is run from. If you put xcacls.exe in the same directory as your batch script (\WPI\Install\VA) then you can just do this: %~dp0xcacls.exe "C:\Programme\AQS_GKIS_MISVA" /T /E /C /G Jeder:F;F

When you're using a batch to call a setup, do this %~dp0Setup.exe This would run Setup.exe from the directory your batch script is located in, but this would also allow you to use the batch file easily without WPI. Is that what you're needing?

You can use a batch file. You can put xcacls.exe anywhere as long as you specify the path to it when you call the command, or if you don't want to specify the path when you run it, just have a FileCopy that will copy it to your \Windows\system32 folder. Other than that, just run it like normal.

Oops, yes, sorry about that. Thank you mritter.

In that case you would use: getOSver()=="2K" || getOSver()=="XP" The other tags you can use are "Vista" and "03" for Windows Server 2003. Glad I could help!

1. Make sure install by category in the options menu is not checked. That might be the problem. 2. In the condition field, use the command getOSver()=="Vista" <-- This will make it so the item doesn't even show up on the menu at all if it's not a computer with Vista on it. I think you can also use it in the greyed condition field to just not select it by default or grey it out, if you still want it to show, but I haven't tried that. 3. FileCopy "%wpipath%\Install\test.txt" "%programfiles%\test.txt"

There are two methods to start WPI automatically after your Windows install that are listed on the "WPI v7.1.1" sticky thread (after your desktop loads and runonceex); just download the RAR and follow the instructions for the one you want. You can reboot by using %reboot% as one of your command lines for the program. So if you're wanting to reboot after, say, Office 2007: cmd1: %wpipath%\Install\Office2007\setup.exe /adminfile Office.msp cmd2: %reboot% 10 This should reboot in 10 seconds and then continue with the rest of your selections upon restarting.

I was able to get it working through HTTP using a WebDAV enabled folder with Apache and mapping the web folder to a drive letter... It was a pain to get it set up and took me all day (just started messing with Apache that day), but it worked alright. I can't really give a good tutorial because most of the ones I found had incorrect information and I pieced the info together to get it to work. I'm not at work right now so I don't have access to my config file. Just know it's possible to run WPI through HTTP with WebDAV. As for running it from the network, there's a batch file someone wrote to map the share to a drive letter, allowing you to easily use WPI from a network share. I use this all the time myself. The post with the script is here

Who's complicating things? ancient wanted a way to have SPECIFIC keys imported to the registry through the menu by selectable options, likely depending on what computer he's installing them on (aka, using certain tweaks for certain computers)... a register before/after would apply them to every computer, which isn't what he wants. All I did was tell him how he could do this. I know what register before/after does. It's actually pretty obvious. You're right, I probably do need to read the manual to learn other commands I haven't even touched, but for this specific situation, I'm afraid I don't.

I think he probably means through entries on the menu itself, not registry before/after, so being able to specify certain tweaks for different comupters. If that's the case, yeah, you can do that. As command1 just put "regedit /s path/to/registryfile.reg" That should get you working

How about a button on the installation screen (after you click Begin Install) that will either re-open WPI after finishing (for those of us with DOH! moments who forget to check something) or halt the installation process and re-open the menu with the remaining programs checked, allowing you to add to or modify your selection? Sounds difficult to code but it would be pretty sweet.

I think a toggle for getOSver in the Config menu would be nice. It would save the hassle of having to type getOSver="Vista" || etc... for each program. Just list all operating systems that WPI works on, and select which ones the program supports in order for it to be displayed on the menu for said operating system. I realize you said "Options" but you did say you could do it for everything, so I would assume that would mean in the Config menu as well? Thanks guys, 7.0 is by far the best version yet and I'm looking forward to the future changes listed on the wishlist. Keep up the good work.

In the category drop-down menu, select "Other..." and it puts a box to the side that says "--- New ---". Just type in the category name you want there, save, and the category will be created.

1. Yes, you can install the includes file unattended using the /S switch. 2. Yes, you should be able to immunize unattended without restarting; use SpybotSD.exe /taskbarhide /autoimmunize /autoclose Also if your includes file is outdated on your source, you can run "SDUpdate.exe /taskbarhide /autoupdate /autoclose" to automatically update the definitions unattended. Hope this helps.

It's because setup.exe just runs the msi file and then closes. The same thing happened to me when I tried installing WordPerfect 11. What you need to do is actually run the msi file instead of setup.exe, so... "%wpipath%\\Install\\Office 2000\\data1.msi" transforms=unatt.mst /qb- That should get you working. I created an admin install point from my Office 2000 Pro disc to make sure it worked before posting this, and it worked for me. Good luck.

Please add, within the config menu, an option to sort the entries by install order (most important), alphabetically, or alphabetically within their category (with categories in alphabetical order). This will make it easier to determine whether or not there are multiple instances of the same install order, as well as making it easier to determine what install order number to give to each entry. I appreciate all of your hard work on this project, it's absolutely amazing. Thanks~

I just tested DVD Shrink version 3.2 after reading your post. The switches /silent and /verysilent work for me; give those a shot.

Since it was updated and I can't find a repackaged setup to allow silent installations, I made one. This was my first attempt to do this so I apologize if it sucks, but I thought I'd share since it seems to be working okay for me. The popup on first run is disabled so you shouldn't have to mess with it. Switches include /silent and /verysilent. Edit: I added a switchless installer too... Here's the link to download the normal installer Here's the link to download a switchless installer

MagicISO's installation is causing the reboot prompt? I've tried installing it after looking at this post and it doesn't give me anything like that. But anyway, have you tried adding REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS at the end of the command? That should get rid of it, there's no need to taskkill unless I'm just totally missing something here.

Lately only during the Office 2007 and WordPerfect X3 installations on fresh Windows XP SP2 installs, I get an error message that says "Please go to Control Panel to install and configure system components." This is the first time I've ever seen this message, and from what I've read on other forums, it appears to have something to do with an autorun.inf file... but I've been using the same one for a year now on my XP disc (where WPI is running from), and I've never received a message like this until now. Here's what I normally do to my XP disc... I start with a clean i386 every time. I integrate Windows Media Player 11 with a tool I found here, which has worked great on previous installs, so I'm sure it's not that. After that, I use RyanVM's update pack and integrate using the integrator on his site, as well as a few other addons that have worked previously too. Then I integrate DriverPacks, all of which have worked fine in the past as well. I make an ISO and test it in VMWare. Windows installs fine. All of my other programs install fine. Then it gets to Office 2007, and gives the error. Then the same on Wordperfect X3. After those two, everything else installs fine... Any ideas of what I could do to fix this? I haven't tried a reboot before Office 2007 and Wordperfect install, but I've never had to do that in the past so I don't know what would make it do so now. Thanks in advance. EDIT: Nevermind. Problem solved. For some reason "%~dp0" in my batch files wasn't parsing correctly on the first boot, and it was running setup.exe from the system32 folder. Just doing "%~dp0setup.exe" instead of switching to the directory with the batch file and then running setup.exe fixed the problem.

Keep the OEM folder created by the DriverPack BASE program. Use $OEM$\$1 for your Office install, then it should work fine

After doing an admin install of Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 and slipstreaming the new update, the install folder is ~800mb. Is there a way to repack the files back into data1.cab to reduce the size again? There are a couple others I'd like to do this with as well, but I could probably figure it out if I just had an example to work with. I'm sure this is a n00b question, but I've never done it before and would appreciate some help in doing so, because my Windows DVD with DriverPacks and WPI is approaching the point where it won't fit on one disc anymore Thanks~!

Hey everyone, I'm pretty new to this forum and to unattended installations of Windows. I have a question. Since I work as an IT support assistant at a university, I thought it would be nice to have a Windows CD that contains more drivers. After doing some research, I found nLite, driverpacks.net, and this forum. Unfortunately, I get a few errors when Windows is copying the files needed for installation (shortly after formatting the drive). After my first few attempts to make a Windows installation customized the way I like it and getting a ton of missing file errors, I decided to just stop removing components for now to work the problems out one by one. Keeping the addons that I have (that all work after Windows is installed, so I'm pretty sure it's not them) and the new drivers on the disc, I tried it again, to find only three files missing: cnbjmon.dll crusoe.sys dmutil.dll As those are all components in driver.cab, I assume that the driver packs may have something to do with this problem. If so, is it supposed to do this? If not, there are a few other things I've done that may have caused this problem as well, and if you could let me know what I've done wrong, I'd appreciate it. I'm using a slipstreamed XP CD. I slipstreamed SP2 by copying the Windows CD to a folder, copying XPSP2.exe from a SP2 CD, extracting it, and updating to the Windows folder I made when copying the CD. I then proceeded to use nLite. Some of the other things I've done (as advised on www.uawki.org's Windows XP Reduction) include: Deletion of the DOCS, VALUEADD, cmpnents, and SUPPORT folders from the root directory of the Windows CD. I read somewhere that deleting SUPPORT has caused a few problems, even though according to that site it is perfectly fine to delete. I have not tried it yet with this folder. Deletion of the WIN9XMIG, WIN9XUPG, WINNTUPG, LANG folders from the I386 folder of the Windows CD. I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with it, considering the first three folders only have to do with updating from an existing OS, and the LANG folder only includes languages other than English. I haven't been able to find any information at all about driver packs causing an error like this, but maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places. Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
