WPI and WinToFlash

First of all, I want to say. WPI makes life so much easier. I just discovered it this past week, and I love it.

I have a Windows XP Pro SP2 CD that I have been using nLite to integrate SP3 and various other updates such as IE * and WMP 11. I use this for various reasons, one of which has been to re-install Windows on my friend's netbook. In order to do this, I had to make a bootable USB drive since there is no optical drive.

The fastest/easiest/most reliable method I have found is to use WinToFlash. The problem is, WinToFlash creates unusual directories on the USB drive, thus losing the original CD directory structure. It also does not copy the WPI folder to the USB drive automatically. Unfortunately this makes the provided $OEM$ folder integration for RunOnceEx invalid.

Win2Flash Generated Folder Tree on USB Drive:

Luckily the fix is very easy.

  • Move the WPI folder from the root folder (parallel to the 386 folder) into the $OEM$ folder
  • EDIT the RunWPI.cmd file.
  • Goto Line 4
  • Change :
    set wpipath=%drive%\wpi


  • To:
    set wpipath=%drive%\$WIN_NT$.~LS\$OEM$\wpi


New Folder Tree for use with Win2Flash:

This does not copy additional files to the computer during install and still runs WPI from the USB drive as you are used to.

Hello... after much searching, I found script (don't remember where) to avoid message "There is not disk in drive" when there is a memory reader in PC... I test it and work perfect...

It's this:

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
(SET DRIVE=)
FOR /F "USEBACKQ TOKENS=2 DELIMS==" %%# IN (`WMIC DATAFILE WHERE^
"PATH='\\WPI\\' AND FILENAME='WPI' AND EXTENSION='exe'"^
GET Name /VALUE^|FIND "="`) DO SET "DRIVE=%%~d#"&SET "FPATH=%%#"

START "" "%DRIVE%\WPI\WPI.exe"
exit

Attached Setupcomplete.cmd

Regards... ;-)

This is fine unless it's on ANY accessible drive with WPI.EXE in the EXACT position/folder.

Better to find a VERY unique filename first then hard-set the Path... UBCD98SE (don't bother looking for it) used a VBS to find "Ready" CD-ROM types (ONLY) to ensure that it was a (obviously) Ready CD-ROM...AND...the File in question existed.

Just my $.02...

source.rar is not access-able plz re-upload it.

You can download reading the manual or here:

http://www.wpiw.net/downloads/Sources.rar

But it's for Windows Vista, Server 2008 and Windows 7 !

Cheers

Windows Vista\7 Disks

Download http://www.wpiw.net/downloads/Sources.rar

Extract to copied Windows source, yes you will need to overwrite\ad to the existing sources folder

Add WPI folder to the root.

Remake Windows ISO using your favorite method.

Hi, I really appreciate this program unfortunately I am really new to this, so can I just add this new sources folder to the existing one on the windows 7 copied installation folder? or can I just copy the Setupcomplete.cmd script to the sources folder on the copied windows 7 installation folder?

Thanks!!

Option 1:

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

1 - Download and extract the folder Sources.rar

2 - Inside Sources, copy $oem$ inside your Distribution folder: C:\%Distribution_Folder%\sources\$oem$

3 - Using WPI: Add inside Options | Features :

Check: Load desktop before installation starts

Option 2:

-----------

Simply add inside Autounattend.xml file:
