BritishBulldog Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I actually use the 6 backslash option for my network install and it works.The only thing is use an older version of WPI, never one with the config page as this will cut off backslashes.@hasi yes it is because of the TempSource.replace("\\\\","\\"); line in the generate.js, plus others.normaly you would think because WPI uses double backslashes you could use 4 but this cuts them down. that is where the 6 comes in.from the \\\\\\ two get cut because of the replace command so it leaves \\\\ which WPI using the double slashes cuts it down again to \\ which is ok for the network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
