Trouble with new version of WPI

[Lqdwax]

Hello all,

I upgraded from wpi 6.5 to 7.01 and have encountered some issues.

1.when i begin a "vrtual pc" install the windows portion of the install is fine and then at about 25% of the wpi install. the iso disconnects itself from the virtual machine and I have to reconnect it to continue the install.

2. During install(after i reconnect the iso) a screen pops up that says"could not open reboot configuration file. c:\rb_config.js" this usually crashes wpi but sometimes it will crash but continue installing with any GUI. i do not have WPI set to restart if this is what this file is referring to. I have attached a pic so you can see for yourself.

3. Lastly I have a silent deployment file for adobe photoshop cs3 and if I test it in a regular install enviroment it works(silently) if i insert it into WPI it begins to work but only installs for about 2 or 3 minutes and then says that it was successfully installed. but it is not.

THANKS in advance for any and all help/comments.

Lqdwax,

What OS are you running - Vista? I have seen several people having WPI CD problems with Vista. Please search this forum. BTW, the latest version is 7.1.0 (maybe a typo)? Unless you turned it off, there should be a WPI log file in your root directory. I forgot the name format and don't having any on this machine but take a look (for me C:\) it should be obvious.

c:\rb_config.js

This seems like a strange path for a config file. Why is it in the root directory? Is this a name you created (rb_config)? Is this file in your WPI folder or your root? I don't have one of these files on my system anywhere including WPI.

Good luck, John.

That file is placed there for simplicity and an always known path.

I will have to do some checking, but the file should only be created if a REBOOT is found. There is no need for it otherwise.]

To see the file, put a JSCRIPT=alert("Pause") in one of the first items, then look at your C: drive.

I don't do any virtual testing since I have 5 computers, 1 dedicated to just testing software, so I can't really test it yet. I will keep it in mind.

Have you got an Microsoft Office installation with WPI?

Hello all.

Thanks for the patience been crazy busy at work. thanks for all the input. to answer some questions. I am using xp sp3. I do have office 2003 and components set to install seperately. I have done some testing over the weekend and have taken out the office installs and I have also taken out "Virtual PC 2007 additions. I think it is working but unsure since i have to do full installs to get the error message. also if it is needed should i post the rb_config file that is on my c: drive. it is definately placed there by wpi. but if i do a complete install with office and virtual pc additions the file is not even created(weird). Thanks for the patience and any help will be appreciated.
