WPI 6.2 Vista c:\rb_config.js error & a solution

An error & solution from two friends of mine using a WPI install I put together.

1) When you first start the WPI (click start install), it fires this error message about not have permission to write to "c:\rb_config.js", but still starts and runs.

2) When the computer restarts mid WPI install, the WPI does not restart upon restart, as it does and should on XP. When you go and manually restart the program, it asks if you want to resume, but when you do, it gives this error "undefined; C:\rb_config.js; undefined" and then you have to restart the WPI from scratch.

In globals.js

Find the section that looks like this:

// reboot.js
 var prb=0;
 var rbfHandle=null;
 var DefaultRebootFilePath='%systemdrive%\\rb_config.js';

a suggested modification: Change %systemdrive% to %userprofile% which should be compatible with both Vista & XP and get around the Vista permissions issue. Not sure about w2k, 98, etc.
