Kelsenellenelvian Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 Thats DEFINATLY not how the first post describes updating WPI. I suggest you read it a bit more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadbug Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I upgraded from 6.something to 7.2.2 using the instructions here and it worked like a charm.It did mangle two things, but (given that I maintain config.js manually) that's pretty good.1. It stripped all comments out2. I define variables at the start and then use those rather than 'yes'/'no' so I can easily build a disk to install just new programs when I'm updating my disk.It would be neat if a future upgrade could preserve comments. It would be frighteningly good if it preserved all lines it didn't understand - in the right place :-)It took me two minutes to restore my manually maintained stuff, so anything that takes more than 10 mins to code isn't worth the hassle !Once again, excellent job!

mritter Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I don't like it when people manually edit the config.js. It only leads to problems down the road. Changes like global replacements of text are fine. There will be no support for user entered comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francesco Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Steps to update your WPI folder:I have thought about using an actual install package creator, but steps 3-5 would still need to be done manually.Many installers can be programmed to copy/move/delete folders and do most of the stuff you can do with a custom application without touching a single line of code but if you could create folders for user-inserted themes and audio files (and add two options inside WPI to hide default themes and sounds in the list) then even a simple RAR SFX would be enough to update WPI.

freeAppz Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) I think a simple MSI could be nice or even Executable with features or propertys that install a fresh or upgrades WPI.I can take a look at it someday.

coucou Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) Hi,I proceed as Kels advised in #1, it works like a charm. Thank you BTW, as the new softwares are GB sized, I'm looking for buiding 2 DVDs, the first will be Windows 7 and office 2010 (4GB), the second with all softwares. 1) Do WPI 8.1 handle DVD1 to DVD2 change? If so, what option?2) Let assume, that I want the first DVD1 install Windows 7 and office 2010. Then WPI run and ask to load DVD2? It is possible? If so, how?Regards Edited September 21, 2010 by coucou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghaffar Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Thank you for the upgrade WPI guideI think step 2 in the first post should be updated from"2.From your old WPI folder, copy config.js, useroptions.js, networkoptions.js and windowoptions.js from WPIScripts to the new WPIScripts folder."to"2.From your old WPI folder, copy config.js, useroptions.js, networkoptions.js and windowoptions.js from WPIScripts or UserFiles to the new UserFiles folder."because user configurations are in "UserFiles" folder in new WPI versions.Am I right?
