Permission Denied Error

[trmfp]

When attempting to run WPI 7.7.0 on Windows XP 32-bit, I keep getting an Internet Explorer Script error "Permission Denied / Line 172 / Char 2 / Code 0 / URL file:///Y:/_InfoSys/Install/Utilities/WinPostInstaller/WPI/WPIScripts/installer.js"

This only happens after running the WPI program and installing any single or multiple selections of items first. I am unzipping the program from the download and adding the config.js, useroptions.js, and windowsoptions.js files to the WPI Scripts Folder. I have tried recreating new scripts by going through and recreating my entire install list and groups. I have not edited the code manually.

Thanks for any help or insight you can give me.

Are you running WPI from desktop manually, or after Windows is installed?

Does the installer open?

Do any programs get installed? Or error right away?

Post your log file.

How are you setting the network paths?

mritter:

I am running from the desktop manually after windows is installed and after I have joined our domain and mapped the network drives.

If I remove the WPI Directory entirely and extract the files from the download, I can get it to run once without any errors. If I launch WPI after that and try to install one of my programs, I get the error message.

The installer does not open and the WPI Window is blank and will not close unless I use ALT+F4.

I should also note that I am using IE8 as that gets installed during my RunOnceEx programs.

I will post a log file, although it doesn't really show any errors.

I am using the mapped drive letter in my paths.

Thanks,

OK, here is the log file. I thought I was able to run the program successfully once the past few times, but this time it bombed immediately.

Thanks again for your help:

Well, I am not sure why but I cannot get version 7.7.0 to work. The entire reason I was attempting to update from the earlier 7.5.0 was because of an ordering issue I was running into with that version.

I have reverted back to 7.5.0 and worked around the order problem. I guess I will stick with it for now. Nothing fantastic about my setup and it is a new build of Windows XP with just a small amount of standard software (IE8, WMP11, DotNET 3.5, and Winzip)

I would love to continue working on the problem if you have any suggestions. Otherwise I am going to setup my deployments with 7.5.0 until it no longer works and then find a newer version to test with.
