mritter Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 (edited) There seems to be some confusion about why WPI is not doing the installs before the desktop is loaded. We always had a problem with Office not installing correctly for some people. It worked for me, but not others, seemingly randomly. We finally figured out, by pure chance, that 2 reg keys needed to be changed from their default values. How this is handled is determined by when/where you start WPI.From desktop, network shareWhen started from here, WPI starts, checks the reg keys, if need to be changed it changes them, quits, restarts to refresh the new key values, then runs normally. When quit, it puts the keys back to their original value.After a fresh install from DVDThis is where the problem is happening. Like above, starts, checks, changes, quits, DESKTOP STARTS TO LOAD, restarts, does installation. Since WPI had to quit, the calling scripts continues on not knowing that WPI is going to restart. No way to tell it that. So what you have to do is change the reg keys in your cmd script before WPI is started.YOU MUST CHANGE THE REG KEYS IF YOU ARE INSTALLING OFFICE OR NOT. IT MUST BE DONE!!!Here are the files you need to use with the reg key changes. These are as basic and old school as can be. Put these in the $OEM$ folder.cmdlines.txt[COMMANDS]"RunOnceEx.cmd"RunOnceEx.cmd@ECHO OFFREG ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main" /V "Disable Script Debugger" /T "REG_SZ" /D "no" /FREG ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main" /V "DisableScriptDebuggerIE" /T "REG_SZ" /D "no" /Ffor /f "delims=: tokens=1" %%i in ("%~dp0") do set drive=%%i:set wpipath=%drive%\wpiSET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceExREG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%wpipath%\WPI.hta" /fEXITIf you have something better, please post it. This is just something to get you started. Edited December 2, 2008 by mritter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gospeed Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 (edited) one thing I am noticing that didnt happen with my old setup is that on some pc's, there will be a dialogue box that pops up as wpi is starting up that requests a restart.... "windows has finished installing new devices" blah blah. Do you know if there is a way to suppress this?

Kelsenellenelvian Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I have had that before. It's really got nothing to do with WPI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
