WPI_2.7_Final by the Brain & Gresh

[hasi001]

rodent. 1st question: if you put the file WIN51 in your VM's root on C: then it would function as %cdrom%. So if you call %cdrom%\\Install\\program.exe, it has to reside on c:\Install\program.exe

I'll check your config on my system. Check back for an answer in a day or two.

Ok. found the error's cause and fixed it.

New Version 2.9.3 is out

Check out the WPI homepage for new version.

@nivek7:

Since the machine can't read your brainwaves yet, you have to do some typing to inform it of the apps you want it to install. Your question indicates you have that information, but in another format. Give an example, be more specific what your needs are. What's the "config format from RunOnceEx" ??

Like the format the RunOnceEx has.

eg

REG ADD %KEY%\055 /VE /D "TweakUI Powertoy" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\055 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\PowerToys\TweakUi.msi /qb" /f

To the config.js format

Sorry nivek7 - that won't happen. Not by me

i tried this,

did not work,

WIN51 resides in C:\

but it always refers to D:\ in the error message,

so i tried a weird thing:

i renamed WIN51 to WIN52 in C:\

and changed the callup in the .js in both lines to WIN52,

but it still refers to D:\ in my wirtual environmnt.

is this also fixed in 2.9.3, or only the double error?

thanks

Hi Rodent.

Seems you found another bug ...

What I would like you to do ist the following:

Download the attachment - replace the config.js and try to run WPI on your virtual environment.

Debugs are on in this version - so you'll see some debug messages in the upper part of the screen.

If the problem's fixed, then I'll release a fixed version - so please answer. In the negative case post the debug messages.

All others - please do not download this version. I have to post it, 'cause Attachments are not supported with PMs. I'll post a fixed version soon.

Check out the WPI homepage for new version

Hi.

Read the thread Windows Post-install Wizard 1.2 Beta first.

Then read this thread. Takes a time - but you'll get familiar with the program. If there's still any questions - ask again (... a detailled question will lead to a detailled answer)

[cai_sebas]

I im trying to show a scrollbar in my WPI instalation cause i got many, many apps to be selected and installed. So far i dindt managed to use the scrollbar (i prefer ro use it any time, any resolution)

Hasi thanks,

your debug version worked,

for my testing purposes i changed both "WIN51" entries in "generate.js" to "WIN52",

as in my virtual environment i have mapped the Windows.iso File to the virtual cd-rom, which contains WIN51,

so WPI does not get confused...

on C:\ in virtal PC i got the file WIN52...

anyway, i think the cdrom detect routine will not work, if on more than 1 drive in root is a WIN51 file

i now wait for new fixed version,

on which i base my new cd for reinstall

one question...:

the docs and cmds folders, which come with WPA...

are they needed in any way to work correct with WPI?

THANKS

Alex
