    WPI and AutoIt

    in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)

    Posted

    Hi there,

    I used WPI for a long time since the begin of it's developpement.

    Today, I started using it with some AutoIt scripts to automate my installations and settings.

    So I tried simple install, it works perfectly. I use WPI to launch my AutoIt scripts for simple installation like Office 2003 or an Antivirus software and my AutoIt script (converted into an exe) do the rest like launching all the setup.exe in each apps folders.

    Here comes my problem...

    I started to include Registry Tweaks into my AutoIt scripts. When I launch the script manually by double-clicking on the exe, the script goes perfectly. When I ask WPI to launch the script I see the registry tweak start and then... it says that I don't have administrator rights to install the reg file or it's corrupted...

    I don't understand a thing... Does Windows Vista detects if the script is launch manually or by an application ?

    Also, another problem I found is when I start a setup that needs other files in the same folder to advance, suddenly, an error popup and says that the setup can't find the other files. When I run manually the AutoIt script again, everything goes perfectly. It seems like the PATH or something is messed up. I tryed many things like asking my AutoIt script to launch a batch file, that didn't work. Asking WPI to launch a batch file that starts my AutoIt script too gets some errors. Is WPI started as an administrator when you launch it ? I disabled the user control and my account IS administrator of my computer...

    I don't understand why... And is there a known PATH problem with WPI and Vista ?

    Is some of you uses AutoIt combined with WPI and has runned into that type of error and found a solution, can you give me a clue ? Thanks.

    can you post a sample of the script? im not so sure about the registry issue so a look at the code may help. the problem with the second is a directory issue. ive had it before. since WPI runs the script from a different directory, the working directory changes. are you using "Run" or "ShellExecute" because ive had this issue with ShellExecute and "Run" seems to work differently.

    how do i add multiple wins?

    in nLite

    I'm not sure what you want exactly. but if you want to create a Multiboot CD/DVD's allow this and more. Not only can you have multiple versions of Windows on a singe disk, you can also include versions of Linux, Windows PE, or other utilities

    just go Here

    :whistle:

    Not even close, NaDer (although I can understand why you were confused--bobbintb wasn't exactly clear):

    What he's wanting is to be able to put a second WINS (Windows Internet Naming Services) server IP in Network Settings.

    From what I see, there is no way to add a second WINS server IP address in, nor is there a way to add more than two DNS servers.

    yea thats exactly what i want to do. sorry i wasnt clear. i realized it afterward but was too busy (/lazy) to change it. well if anyone finds out let me know please.
