"Undefined" on reboot while WPI is running

[gospeed]

I am getting a "undefined" screen after I try to install WMP11. It seems my installer tries to restart while WPI is running, and on reboot, I get this screen. I read somewhere a very old post about making sure wpi.ico is at the root of the dvd, but cant find any other references to that file. I am using a multiboot dvd with a folder name WPI at the root, and all the files within (wpi.hta, etc). I have downloaded the latest WPI with no change. WPI works flawlessly except for this one error on this one program.

I guess my question is this- should I make WMP11 wait for reboot, or is this an easily solved problem within WPI?

Can you get a pic of the screen or a better description of it?

[gospeed]

the exact situation is where WMP11 is on my list of programs for WPI to install. When WMP11 is finished, it reboots- before the rest of the programs are allowed to install. On reboot, this is the screen I see:

Clicking "OK" lets this close, and then my driverpack finisher runs (only if this is the first boot), followed by a blank screen with only my mouse pointer. Control/alt/delete and end mshta and the desktop finishes loading. WPI does not re-start automatically.

Again, its probably easier for me to make WMP11 not automatically reboot, but if its an easy fix in WPI, I will do that. Just in case other programs force a reboot.

WPI *should* normally reboot as and app calls for it. BUT there has been some heavy work on the reboot system in WPI on the last coupla versions.

However having said that this isnt the first time driverpacks and WPI have clashed so it might be it too.

WMP11 Is most commonly integrated nowadays and that probably why you are the first to report this.

Please post your config.js as an attachment (Remove your serials please) and I will test it.

The best bet is just to tell WMP11 not to reboot and have WPI reboot at the end (In the options section) and then driverpacks finisher will run.

I wanna test though so I can try to reproduce.

Here is my config.js, its pretty ugly though . I use .cmd's to run the programs so there are no keys here.

I think I should just integrate, that would be the best answer.

Ummmm wow I aint even going to step in there

As for integrating -- YES it does seem to be the best way! http://web.clicknet.ro/boooggy/

You might want to consider simplifying all of that and having WPI run all of the commands for the apps directly but you really do seem to know what you are doing, doing it like that.

I must admit it is the first time I have seen a nearly all cmd called WPI though do you like the flashy flashy windows or are you hiding them?

Yeah, I have updated WPI many times, but never have gone back and cleaned up my methods I have a feeling I just need to spend some time going through it. I honestly cant remember WHY I went the .cmd route. It was a long time ago!

Thanks again for your time

Hey no prob.

[snowman6x]

I was getting the same error on reboot, thought it might be my archaic reboot. cmd scripts but after I changed to your built in command it still did it. Then I had to try and remember all the changes I'd made in the last couple day's and I'm sure I have an answer for at least my problem.

I had created a script to that would create an admin account named user with no password and then set the auto login reg entries to that account. Then the script continued on to rename the machine and set the workgroup. At this point is where I had the "shutdown -r -t 0" command in the batch file.

Any way to long story short: if you use WPI to set the auto login info in the reg and reboot in the middle of the WPI install for any reason. Then it won't be able to read the registry entries it made as the previously logged on user that originally executed the script.
