problem with %CDROM% not being defined

[7yler]

I've been using WPI 7.1.1 for a long time with no problems on WinXP, if I upgrade to WPI 7.7, I have a problem were %CDROM% is not being defined.

It may be caused by the way I have my folders structured, but I would prefer not to change it.

I have included log files for both 7.1.1 and 7.7 versions.

Thanks for any help

WPI_Log_7.1.1.txt

WPI_Log_7.7.0.txt

Can you include a pic of your folder layout?

Hi Kel, I have included a image of my folder structure.

WOW thats a hell of a project

OK it looks like CDROM is not getting defined. (you are right) look at the variables section of your 2 logs.

I will ask mritter to send you the .exe run file that we are instituting on monday when he gets home.

For now though:

How are you starting WPI?

Well heck I DO HAVE the last version!

Please instead of running WPI.hta place this in the WPI folder and use it.

Then tell me the result.

Thanks Kel, its my little home project I've been playing with to keep myself amused.

WPI gets called from RunOnceEx.

I 'm happy to continue to using 7.1.1 for now, but it would be nice to start using the latest versions. I have been aware of this since release 7.2 but have been lazy in chasing it up.

EDIT: Thank Kel, i will give the EXE a shot and let you know

Just tested with WPI.EXE and the same problem, CDROM not Defined.

Checking the log, both WPIPATH and ROOT get the correct drive, just not CDROM.

%WPIPATH%=D:\APPS\Default.WPI\7.7.0

%ROOT%=D:\APPS\Default.WPI

%CDROM%=

Will continue to use 7.1.1 for now.

Cheers

I am out of town so I will look at it Monday when I get all settled. Probably something simple I changed a while back that something else is affecting. Should be an easy fix.

Well, after getting home from trip, and next day my main computer crashed (drive in raid 0 fubar), I am on an old computer and back up to 80% speed.

Here is the fix:

core.js

line 104

// Removable, ie, USB Key
cddrv="";

Delete the cddrv=""; line.

Kel, get that updated in the main archive.

[Kelsenellenelvian]

OK!

Nice one. Thanks Guys, it works great.

I'm using WPI.EXE, and it works like a charm.

Cheers.
