January 17, 200521 yr he is probably trying to bypass windows data execution prevention (DEP) in the Windows XP SP2.
January 17, 200521 yr Author in sp2 almost any file you open to install gives you that popup asking if you actually want to run that exe or msi or whatever the package is.
January 17, 200521 yr using the latest version?I just did a fresh install to test my new Office 7zip sfx and Norton 7zip sfxand i did not encounter that problem.hummm... also running the latest xp w/ sp2
January 17, 200521 yr Author using the newest wpi sp2 winth ryans pack v 1.05 and my wpi has like 80 apps and entries. funny sfx files work okay ummm download like the 7-zip installer and try it that was one of the ones that pops up.
January 17, 200521 yr s*** 80 apps... cool I only hv 79 apps. I hv to find one more. :cry: i dont hv 7zip with my wpi installer. i am waiting for the next release in 2 weeks.
January 17, 200521 yr Author 16 reg files but I have another dozen entries to make ( only 6 are reg files ) just got kinda lazy over the past couple of days hell I even got 4 towers sitting in my room to process and fix God what a mess.
May 26, 200521 yr @kelsen...Bizarre, I just rebuilt my CD--used nLite to integrate SP2 and apply RyanVM's Lite pack--and now none of my registry entries are merging. Period. Not from WPI nor if I manually merge the reg file. But the settings DO take if I manually configure the app or setting!Been searching the forums and have seen a few others suffering the problem, but no solutions. Three culprits have come to mind while researching this: GDI Detection Tool, RyanVM's pack/nLite, and/or the Data Execution Prevention feature, but I can't wrap my mind around this one. I do note that I have always applied my Quick Launch tweak from Cmdlines.txt and it continues to work. Do you think that applying your fix above at that stage will allow for later merging of .reg files when WPI runs?
May 26, 200521 yr It's installing now but I'm off to bed. Will post a quick result in the morning. I saw something in a recent nLite forum thread regarding registry tweaks, Nuhi talking about "locking down" something-or-other for stability reasons. I guess I will have to step back to manual SP slipstream and hotfix integration if this doesn't work. The ability to add app-by-app reg tweaks via WPI is just too important to my install routine.;--------------------------------------------Edit: who's foolin' who, there's no way I'm hitting the sack. Yes, it worked. My reg files now merge silently again after adding the tweak via Cmdlines! Thanks, K!
