WPI Launch Issue

[zorg2000k]

Hi,

Been using WPI for sometime. Great tool.

Moved onto the latest version but I am having some issues launching the hta.exe.

My machine joins the domain then runs a batch file to run some printer / programs default settings, as part of the bat file I call the hta.exe like this :

start /w %windir%\system32\mshta.exe c:\packagedapps\PDU_APP\wpi.hta

Now this would normally stop the original batch file until I choose my programs to install from WPI. Once WPI finishes the installs it would then finish the batch file and reboot.

I can see a white page launch then dissapear, then the batch file continues, as it start to shutdown the white page appears again and then I see my WPI splash screen, but this goes as the machine is shutting down.

I did enter a sleep command after the start /w %windir%\system32\mshta.exe c:\packagedapps\PDU_APP\wpi.hta which works but is not something I would like to do.

Any help would be great.

My config file is for WPI Config 7.2.0+

Cheers

It has to do with the Office check. Search for it on the forum to see why it does that.
