WPI v8.1.0 Bug Report Thread

[thedexmonster]

One thing you can try is deleting the reg key folder with RegEdit:

HKCU/Software/WPI

Reset an aborted install, possibly.

Appreciate your response!

Turns out it was a problem with the config.js. But if that's the case it should have worked with an unmodified config file. I think I needed to clear the registry and fix the config. I didn't even know it made a registry entry... Thanks again.

Thanks also to icnocop for convincing me to take another look at my config file. I think it was a dependency issue.

Or a quotes problem.

WPI is installing my applications after first logon, but it does not display the full screen installation as if I were to start WPI.exe directly. I just see the install window. Is this normal?

[EneergE]

Cool but that brings me onto the next issue, I tried to play around and see if I could find a way to change the reg keys at the end of the wizard. At this point I discovered that if you have install by categorise option checked, the install order in the config settings are completely ignored even within the categories. I don't know if this is a bug or by design, but I thought it would worth a mention.

Yeah, I noticed this as well. Some of my files will not install because it tries to install in the wrong order. No sure how to set the install order. The "Install Order" option sounds like it would do the trick, but it's ignored. Reminds me of that program that one guy wrote a long time. It basically asks the user what he wants to do, ignores that, and does what it wants to do. Lol. Otherwise good program.

EDIT: Oh, actually, it appears that it's just parsing the "10" right after "1". So "10" comes before "2". I can just set "10" to "91" I guess.

I have mine numbered from 001 to 100+ and named the same way ie '001 .Net Framework 1.1 SP1' and they always install in the order I've set :-)

Can not create log file without time stamp. Each time I uncheck the box to timestamp the log file and save, next time you go back into options it is checked again.

[mritter]

Fixed: Time stamp issue.

Hmmmm: the numbering system has always been 000010, 000001, 000100, etc. Will look into it.

Hi All, first post on this forum

I have builded an unattended xp pro sp3 corporate dvd with nlite + driverpacks + WPI (all latest versions) its working great except by a few little problems:

.- The "cd eject when done" feature seems that doesnt works on xp, I have installed more than 20 pcs and none eject the cd tray when wpi finishes, not a big deal otherwise

.- At first I used the nlite "runonce" method to lauch WPI, but for some reason WPI crashes with some packages like netFXAIO a (1,2,3,3.5 .net framework installer) or a ninite installer , give me an "error 70:, c:/history.js, permission denied", I see this occur several times, so I swith to the $OEM$.rar method, when using "$OEM method" the "error 70" never happens.

PD: Error 70 only happens when WPI starts launched by "nlite runonce" when launched manually never happens.

.- But today WPI refuses to start automatically with a "Windows cant find I:/wpi/wpi.exe" seems that RunWPI its trying to find WPI/WPI.EXE on the latest removable letter (I:) but CD drive is "E:", the computer have the following drives:

hard disk: C:/D: (partitions)

cd drive: E:

card reader: F:/G:/H:/I:

.- On some situations seems that %sysdrv% isnt working, like FILECOPY commands, using %systemdrive% works fine, havent tested this much.

Any help would be appreciated.

PD: Sorry for my bad english.

Regards.

Card reader has been known to cause this with me before.

The eject feature I will look into.

The error 70 is a well known problem many of us encounter from time to time.

You do know that WPI is NOT free for buisness or corporate use right?

[mritter]

Kel, I sent him a new beta with some of the bugs fixed. The card reader is a finicky beast. I don't have one but will soon so I will look into it then.

Hi Kels.

I have a strange problem with tooltip in my huge application library. Tooltips get the page to flips to top if i do a mouseover on application down/last in the list. Trying to edit tips.js but actually i have no idea of where to look. Can you help me?

Again: Mouseover-tooltip scrolls the page to top. Cant click the checkboxes...

We fixed one issue with the tool tips in Windows (default theme style) based themes. It will probably fix your problem. What theme are you using?

I'm using David (windows) and looking forward to update my wpi with the latest version. Please post your fix!

Update:

This fix works for me. In common\themes\windows\wpi.htm there is a missing closing div i guess? Add this:

<div id="wrapper" style="visibility:hidden; position:absolute; z-index:-4321; width:100%; height:100%;">
</div>   <---this one!
<div id="TipLayer" style="visibility:hidden; position:absolute; z-index:1000; top:-100;">
</div>

Works for me anyway!

The closing wrapper <div> is at the very end. But maybe I have another one out of balance.

8.2.0 keeps getting the release date pushed back, but should be soon.

Hi !

Compared to version 8.0.3 I found the following graphical problems (see screenshot).

- In installer the green icons for Success are not showing

- In WPI, the first column on the first page is empty.

I imported all the configuration files from 8.0.3.
