could not complete operation due to error 80041002

[ubulord]

The title says it all. . I run wpi after a fresh XP install. It installed the first programs. Then got to a program that had a reboot instruction and after windows restarted it got stuck with this error message (could not complete the operation due to error 80041002). I told it to continue running scripts and there was a second message saying "undefined installer.css".

WPI was not being called automatically from the XP install disc. It's on the disc but I start it manually, exactly because I tend to get error messages and so decided not to make it run automatically.

The programs it had already installed (though I don't think that matters at all) were K-lite mega codec pack 3.85, net framework 1.1.SP1 and 2.0. All silent installs.

The whole thing is running on a VirtualBox from an ISO image. if I try to run it again, it pops up the same messages. Even if I copy the WPI folder (which contains all the programs to be installed) to the (virtual) C: drive, I still can't run it from there.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Would you kindly post your config.js as an attachment and tell me if you modified any files?

Hmmm - that error is "URL_E_UNREGISTERED_PROTOCOL". Did you modify the installation media in any way?

Loking in the WPIScripts I found out that the Config file had no extension. Changed it to Config. js and everything seems to be ok now. Sorry for a stupid problem.

Now, how did the Config file loose it's extension?

'twasn't me, mate, honest. Swear on my mom's health.

Now really, I think it has to do with the fact, that unlike with most programs, when one does "Save As" from the Confirg screen, WPI doesn't add an extension automatically, so it's quite easy for someone to end up with a saved file with no extension. Maybe this could be changed in future versions?

Thanks
