Ok this is a sample 10 step (Very simple) configuration for CCleaner (a.k.a. Crap Cleaner).

This assumes you have all of the WPI files in the WPI folder at the root of your CD.

Remember this is just the most basic and required entries for a program!

1.Download the app and place it in the WPI\Install Folder. (CCleaner.exe in this example)

2.Run WPI.exe and click on the “Config” button\Icon area.

3.Go to the very top area above the config section and click on the button that says “Add”

4.Enter in the name section “CCleaner” No quotes! Then click your mouse on the next area to continue.

5.You will notice the Unique ID (UID) section gets automatically filled in for you. You can change it if you like, HOWEVER each entry MUST have a unique ID. None of them can be the same.

6.All apps are selected to be installed by default right from the start so if you don’t want it selected by default you must uncheck this box.

7.Choose a category for your app to be displayed in. If you want the app to be displayed in a category you don’t see, simply chose “Other...” and a box will appear that will allow the entry of you choice.

8.In the Commands tab click on "Add" at the controls area just right of the command line grid and then the the little folder icon and browse to your folder that contains the app, preferably the .\WPI\Install folder then select the CCleaner installer. This will place the appropriate path in the command line.

9.Add the necessary switch(s) for the program to run silently. For CCleaner the switch is /S so you would have your command line looks like so = “"%wpipath%\Install\CCleaner.exe"” /S (This can be easily done for most standard apps by simply clicking on the USSF button on the far right of the command line.) Other switches for apps that USSF cannot identify you can try looking at the forum section here: MSFN Application Installs section.

10.Select the Save and then the Exit buttons and you have now configured your first app!
