uphold2001 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 So, I've got a number of items that are installed prior to the first reboot by WPI, and it seems that no matter the combination of apps (I could install one, maybe two apps), it would invariably need a restart, and then I get this odd error: Title: Internet Explorer Script ErrorAn error has occurred in the script on this pageLine: 2Char: 1Error: Invalid characterCode: 0URL: file://server/share/wpi/common/installer.htaDo you want to continue running scripts on this page?Just curious if anyone else has seen this - I'm new to WPI troubleshooting, and am not sure where to start.Thanks everyone!Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 is the server connection lost during reboot?Can you copy that main wpi folder to the end machine via server during the first process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uphold2001 Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) Yes - this would be a wireless laptop primarily (although I'll test it with a wired connection). Does WPI processing occur before Wireless Zero Configuration takes over?I'm mainly pulling most of my installations via remote server shares - would this be a problem, or should I focus on making all my resources available in the WPI folder, and maybe have them on a removable hard disk? I'm just trying to keep all the installation source folders pointing to our network just in case the MSI's need to repair themselves.Thanks!

Kelsenellenelvian Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Yes wpi would take effect before wireless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uphold2001 Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Ok, I'll try and do this with a wired laptop next and will report back my results!Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uphold2001 Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Hmm...OK, so I tried a laptop using a wired connection. Got the same error after reboot. I killed mshta.exe then re-ran WPI, and continued the prior installation routine. Got the same error again. What do I need to share with you here to troubleshoot this?Thanks!

Kelsenellenelvian Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 ok here is what i should need:A finished WPI log.Your userfiles folderA screenshot of the error.The WPI log after a reboot and killing mshta but before restarting WPI.The basic specs of the system and OS. Also is this on a system that has a AV\Malware running at anytime? Or a completely clean install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myselfidem Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Try to change inside Installer.hta on line 52 (first letter with uppercaseletter: I)position="Installer.hta";Share the folders asked by Kels and let us know the results.

uphold2001 Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 I'll try and get this to you today or tomorrow - gotta rebuild the laptop again (bad encryption software install)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myselfidem Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Did you make changes to the file Installer.hta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also is this on a system that has a AV\Malware running at anytime? Or a completely clean install?Ok - I have FINALLY gotten back to this and have replicated the error.Clicking 'yes' to the installer.hta "invalid character" error brings up the next one: "'programs[...].cat' is null or not an object"...I think clicking 'no' does the same thing.It seems like the wpi_log during the error and after the reboot didn't change. See attached zip file (I've sterilized the logfiles so our server names have changed)...---couldn't really get a proper screenshot since I wasn't at the desktop yet, so...---wpi-files.zip Edited January 22, 2013 by uphold2001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uphold2001 Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Did you make changes to the file Installer.hta?I did - but I think the latest update overwrote that...I'll double check with another tablet shortly.I have been running these with wired connections and still get the same error, FYI!

myselfidem Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Thanks!Keep this code inside Installer.hta<style type="text/css"> img, div, input, span { behavior: url("../WPIScripts/iepngfix.htc") }</style>Regards*Edit: It's not needed to change this script and the error was trying to make changes inside Installer.htaRegards Edited January 27, 2013 by myselfidem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uphold2001 Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Thanks!However, maybe there is some trouble with IE7 and maybe it's needed to improve inside Installer.hta the line 62:<style type="text/css"> img, div, input, span { behavior: url("../WPIScripts/iepngfix.htc") }</style>As test I changed like this, but I'm NOT sure it's OK. Not tested on Windows XP and IE7.Tested on my computer Windows 7 x86 without issue!<script type="text/javascript">// if (lt IE 7) strFile=wpipath+"\\WPIScripts\\iepngfix.htc"; // {behavior: url("../WPIScripts/iepngfix.htc") };</script>It's an idea. Thanks Kels to check if the trouble is about this script !RegardsOk, I should have another test running soon, I'll let you know - thanks so much for the response!

myselfidem Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Maybe that can help about error 1641 (a reboot is needed) with: Sharepoint Designer\2007\setup.exeOffice IT blog pro*Edit: I updated my previous post about Installer.hta. It's not needed to change the script !Regards Edited January 27, 2013 by myselfidem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
