Hi.

I am noticing that ExecuteCommandIfFailure does not always run.

From useroptions.js (and also indicated in the log file):

AbortInstallIfFailure=true;

ExecuteCommandIfFailure=['"%wpipath%\\Install\\MyApplication.exe" param1 "%wpipath%\\Install\\MyLibrary.dll" param2 param3 "param4" "" "" "param5" "admin@domain.com" "param 6 param-param-param" "param 7 param-param-param" "param8"'];

ContinueWhereFailed=true;

From wpi log:

*** Install aborted because of failure ***

-----

Number of failed installations: 1

Install process finished at: Friday, August 27, 2010 1:24:13 AM

I am thinking we should include the ExecuteCommandIfFailure command in the log file when it is run so that we can diagnose any issues that may arise.

Thank you.

@icnocop: I will add it to the next version. I don't know why I didn't do it in the first place.

I think you should pay attention to the correctness of the mapping the themes in the main window, namely, his left side, where there is a menu configuration and setup, I do not know for what but in this new version 8.1.0 when you hover the mouse - they (the labels and pictures) all flash, disappear and appear - it did not bearable, I think you should not be hard fix up couple of scripts. Thanks, really waiting to a stable version. P.S. - such as that

Hello again,

I am noticing that wpi v8.1.0 will sometimes skip the first command from the cmds array.

section from config.js:

pn++;

prog[pn]=['Program Name'];

shortdesc[pn]=[''];

uid[pn]=['ProgramName'];

dflt[pn]=['yes'];

forc[pn]=['no'];

bit64[pn]=['no'];

cat[pn]=['Applications'];

rebootcode[pn]=[3010];

repeatcommand[pn]=['yes'];

cmds[pn]=['cmd /c %wpipath%\\install\\MyApplication.exe param1 "%wpipath%\\install\\MyLibrary.dll" param2 param3 "param4" "param5"','{reboot}'];

desc[pn]=['Program Name'];

picf[pn]=['%wpipath%\\Graphics\\InstallPackage.png'];

picw[pn]=['128'];

pich[pn]=['128'];

textl[pn]=['Right'];

section from wpi_log:

Friday, September 17, 2010 9:33:16 PM - Finished installation.

Notice that cmd1 was not run.

Any ideas?

This is on Windows 7 x64 with UAC turned off.

Thank you.

[mritter]

I have never had that problem and no else has mentioned it. Will keep an eye on it.

[icnocop]

I did some more testing\debugging and it seems that wpi will sometimes continue running the next command when it should have waited for the previous reboot request to completely finish.

section from config.js:

pn++;

prog[pn]=['Program Name 1'];

shortdesc[pn]=[''];

uid[pn]=['ProgramName1'];

dflt[pn]=['yes'];

forc[pn]=['no'];

bit64[pn]=['no'];

cat[pn]=['Applications'];

rebootcode[pn]=[3010];

repeatcommand[pn]=['yes'];

cmds[pn]=['%wpipath%\\install\\ProgramName1.exe params','{reboot}'];

desc[pn]=['Program Name 1'];

picf[pn]=['%wpipath%\\Graphics\\InstallPackage.png'];

picw[pn]=['128'];

pich[pn]=['128'];

textl[pn]=['Right'];

pn++;

prog[pn]=['Program Name 2'];

shortdesc[pn]=[''];

uid[pn]=['ProgramName2'];

dflt[pn]=['yes'];

forc[pn]=['no'];

bit64[pn]=['no'];

cat[pn]=['Applications'];

rebootcode[pn]=[3010];

repeatcommand[pn]=['yes'];

cmds[pn]=['%wpipath%\\install\\ProgramName2.exe params','{reboot}'];

desc[pn]=['Program Name 2'];

picf[pn]=['%wpipath%\\Graphics\\InstallPackage.png'];

picw[pn]=['128'];

pich[pn]=['128'];

textl[pn]=['Right'];

Notice the date and time stamps between ProgramName1.cmd2 and ProgramName2.cmd1 - wpi did not properly wait for the previous reboot request to finish before moving to the next command.

Notice the returned code -1073741502, 0xC0000142, STATUS_DLL_INIT_FAILED, "{DLL Initialization Failed} Initialization of the dynamic link library %hs failed. The process is terminating abnormally.".

I am thinking that windows blocked the running of .\wpi\Tools\Sleep.exe because there is a shutdown request, and this caused wpi to continue processing the next command without properly waiting.

This would also explain the return code -1073741502 and could also explain the previous wpi log file contents where it skipped cmd1 because windows probably killed mshta.exe before wpi could write to the log file, but after wpi tried to run the command.

I am thinking that this issue can be resolved by using a native javascript method to sleep rather than launching an executable for example.

Windows 7 x64.

What do you think?

Thank you.

[mritter]

There is no JavaScript sleep command. That is why I have to use Sleep.exe.

Your results make sense. Now the real question is: how do I fix it?

[icnocop]

Can jquery 1.4 be used?

http://api.jquery.com/delay/

Or JavaScript's setTimeout?

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.setTimeout

Or a while loop like this (from http://www.geekpedia.com/KB55_How-do-I-make-a-JavaScript-function-wait-before-executing-(sleep-or-delay).html):

function wait(msecs)

{

var start = new Date().getTime();

var cur = start

while(cur - start < msecs)

{

cur = new Date().getTime();

}

}

to use:

alert(\"Will wait for one second\");

wait(1000);

alert(\"Finished waiting\");

Edit: Sorry, actually the WScript object is not available because hta's are run from mshta.exe and not from wscript.exe (See http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/aspnet/32306495/hta-and-wscriptsleep.aspx)

Maybe this will help:

"Two Javascript synchronous sleep functions which won't freeze browser"

http://sejq.blogspot.com/2008/12/two-javascript-synchronous-sleep.html

The first work-around is for ie and so that may work.

[icnocop]

Another option is to use an ActiveX control, similar to the Java Applet/Flash example here:
