See my XML file. I have WPI in the next folder tree: %CDROM%\WPI\wpi.exe

Why is WPI not starting after installation of Windows 7? Can somebody tell me what I have to change?

I don't have any Scripts. I already tried the setupcomplete script but it doesn't work:

I don't use WPI with Windows 7, but J have tested for give you somme help.

I have used with Windows XP. For Windows 7, J use RunOnceEx method and 7Customizer.

But WPI is really interesting and useful.

I have tested on the HDD and not with a virtual machine.

You can try this method, J've tested succefully.

You don't need to add anything more in the Auntounattend .xml file.

In the folder \sources\$OEM$\$$\SETUP\SCRIPTS

Create a batch file named "WPI.bat" (you can copy/paste this script):

In your "WPI.bat"

------------------------------------------------------------------

@echo off

TAKEOWN /F %SystemDrive%\Windows\System32\cmd.exe

FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\sources\install.wim

SET CDROM=%%i:

start /Wait %CDROM%\WPI\WPI.exe

exit

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

And in your "SetupComplete.cmd"

---------------------------------------

@echo off

start /Wait %~dp0WPI.bat

exit

----------------------------------------

Use only the files in "WPI.rar" with the WPI.exe.

And remenber that some softwares needs to be copied on the HDD for their installation.

Good luck and enjoy.

Thanks a million! I will try it and report back!

Great! Thanks!

OK, fine. Thank you.

I did everything what you wrote. Still WPI won't start.

When everything is installed and I navigate to my scripts folder in the new installation, then there are al weird symbols in the scripts.

It doesn´t make sence....

TAKEOWN /F %SystemDrive%\Windows\System32\cmd.exe

What is the advantage in pwning cmd.exe ?

TAKEOWN /F %SystemDrive%\Windows\System32\cmd.exe

It seems not really useful. SetupComplete.cmd gives Admin rights.

But in other cases I was obliged to use.

Excuse my bad English.

Thanks
