mritter,

Here is a small bug.

getOSver() returns "NOT_FOUND" for Windows Server ® 2008.

*****

if (ver.indexOf("Windows7") != -1)

szOSVerCache="Win7";

if (ver.indexOf("Server 2008") != -1) -> will not work as it returns info as "Windows Server ® 2008"

szOSVerCache="08";

if (ver.indexOf("Vista") != -1)

szOSVerCache="Vista";

*****

Better use Build no.

Version 6.0.6000

Build 6000 -> for Vista

Version 6.0.6001

Build 6001 -> for Windows 2008

for time being, I changed this as

if (ver.indexOf("2008") != -1)

szOSVerCache="08";

Hope this helps.

Minor code revision.

WPI no no longer sees USB drives as CD\DVD drives. It will now write to them again.

@ Meha = Thats too confusing as my Vista is build 6002 now....

Thats a variable that changes too much.

@Meha: I changed the code to your

if (ver.indexOf("2008") != -1)
szOSVerCache="08";

I have never installed Server '08; was relying on other people's input. I probably should do the same for Server 2003.

mritter,

Following is the modified version of WMI section of getOSver()

I have tested this on XP, 2003, Vista and 2008 and returns correct value.

I don't have Windows 7, Windows 2000 Pro and 2000 Server test machines. Hope somebody else

Will test it on these platforms and give you the feed back.

This is adapted from GetNativeSystemInfo(ref SYSTEM_INFO lpSystemInfo) using OSVERSIONINFOEX

Here are the possible product types.

wProductType

Any additional information about the system. This member can be one of the following values.

Value Meaning

VER_NT_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER

0x0000002

The system is a domain controller and the operating system is Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003, or Windows 2000 Server.

VER_NT_SERVER

0x0000003

The operating system is Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003, or Windows 2000 Server.

Note that a server that is also a domain controller is reported as VER_NT_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER, not VER_NT_SERVER.

VER_NT_WORKSTATION

0x0000001

The operating system is Windows Vista, Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Home Edition, or Windows 2000 Professional.

If you like, you can even have IsServer() and IsWorkstation() functions as conditions.

prodType == 1 for Workstation

prodType > 1 for Server

Hope this will settle getOSVersion() issues.

Thanks, Meha. I will give it run through. I do like the idea of isServer() and isWorkstation().

Is there a way to determine the difference between XP Home and XP Pro?,

Virtual PC 2007 only works on pro, not home.

thanks

Joe

Well......for XP it is a little difficult. I will make a way to do it. 7.3.0 will have it.

Thanks, will keep checking back,

OBTW seeming simular to what is done to determine which OS, etc is this site (I think with .net).

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/system/osver...roducttype.aspx

But from what I can tell, there are differences. Got lost at that point.

found 3 problems/bugs in 7.22 ( wpi running from hdd/flash-drive on completely installed Win XP SP3 eng + RyanVM's Post-SP3 Update Pack or at Win XP SP2 rus + all updates via automatiс update service)

1. not working command like:

%extract% "%WPIPATH%\Install\5xx.media\530.vlc\*.7z" "%programfiles%"

in 6.4.1 it's woks fine

2. folder with WPI.hta have got name "WPI_722" and placing in the root of usb flash drive (i:\WPI_722\WPI.hta)

can't save changing in config.js or/and useroptions.js as "can't save to cd/dvd" why????

in 6.4.1 it's woks fine

3. all versions have foll bug:

thera are 4 folders with wpi:

i:\WPI_722\WPI.hta (version 7.2.2) usb flash disk

i:\WPI\WPI.hta (version 6.4.1) usb flash disk

f:\WPI\WPI.hta (version 6.4.1) hdd disk

f:\WPI_722-01\WPI.hta (version 7.2.2) hdd disk

after working with 7.2.2 from usb (i:\WPI_722\WPI.hta), try to run wpi 6.4.1 from hdd or from flash-drive, wpi 6.4.1 using useroptions.js from 7.2.2!!!!

and not works, as at 6.4.1 using Orange_mood theme, 7.2.2 using CorporateIT, and wpi 6.4.1 don't contain theme CorporateIT

after rename foder with 7.2.2 can start 6.4.1 normally with using own useroptions.js

the same situation with 7.2.2:

after working with 7.2.2 from usb (i:\WPI_722\WPI.hta), run wpi 7.2.2 from hdd, made changes in config.js and useroptions.js pressed save and exit application, how i was surprised found that all changes saved at wpi folider located at flash disk!!!

#2 Is fixed redownload (It was done as a silent update like 4 days ago)

#3 WPI leaves reg entry for remembering the last location in the case of reboots and such. So to fix that you need to add the following regfile to your execute after:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WPI]

Like so: Regedit /S %wpipath%\install\Clean.reg Remeber to look at your path and file name!

thanks, what abt #1

in the previous version user can save several files with extension 7z (for example) in one folder, and all of them will be extracted using one command, in 7.2.2 it's not working...

may be better to add #3 as option to useroptions.js in next version? and give to user chance to choice - keep in registry last location of config files or not?

Edited December 31, 200817 yr by kalikanzaros

That one I have to leave up to mritter he changed the extract proccess a bit ago.

@Kalikanzaros: I did update the extract command, but only by making the code internal instead of external. I will give it a test today and see what's up.

@Kalikanzaros: In your log file, does it say this at the extract command?

*** Error: Extract FileExists() ***

If so, then consider it fixed. If not, post that section of the log so I can see what it says.
