this has been covered, please search and read. Hint, if you are calling wpi.cmd from

runonceex via cmdlines, don't...............

i have been using wpi.hta directly called up not a .cmd and the error ocures

[Girkers]

If you call WPI.cmd it merges WPI.reg which is located in the common folder. This reg file has this statement:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Styles]
"MaxScriptStatements"=dword:ffffffff

I had this exact problem and actually find M$ had the solution and so did WPI. How this error occurs is when a script repeats a certain number of times, IE thinks that it may be stuck in a loop and then pops up this message.

The registry key sets the number times a script can run b4 this pop up will appear. Since I made sure this reg file was being imported I no longer get the popup.

Never had this problem before, and now, all of a sudden, I got it.

No changes were made to WPI...maybe just pure luck? I don't know.

But I DO know that I am using WPI Version 3.3.2 (2005-01-06), and the reg file is included. I've used this exact WPI before, no changes to the coding, and it worked fine, but not anymore. The error always comes up when its installing Microsoft Office.

Hint, if you are calling wpi.cmd from runonceex via cmdlines, don't.

@bonedaddy:

why do you say that? and how do YOU call WPI?

[bonedaddy]

@ a06lp

well I was calling wpi from runonceex, via the cmdlines. My guess is once runonceex

was called and wpi called it again when it started, that original call from cmdlines was

having a runtime problem, or XP was thinking it was in a loop? Once I stopped that

method and went to cmd file from systemdrive\install\wpi.cmd, all that stopped.........

And wpi.cmd calls it from CD. I don't know for sure, it just works for me........

can you be a little more specific? if you're not using cmdlines.txt to call wpi.cmd, what is calling it? winnt.sif?

(as for your guess, i don't know. i had used the cmdlines method with the same wpi before and never had the problem. again, i think it was just luck).

i was the one that first brought this topic up before there is a thread

dedicated on how to fix this

i still use regtweak and use clean up to remove the key

[a06lp]

i know. the same regtweak is in wpi 3.3.5, but the problem persists

[Astalavista]

ok this is what u need to do

u need to run the regtweak during t-13

during clean up remove it

i just intalled 60 apps a few minutes ago

and no errors or pop up.

[a06lp]

how do you call your wpi?

cmdlines - you call the regtweak

???? - you call wpi.cmd (which calls wpi.hta)

cleanup - you remove the regtweak

can you correct/fill in the blanks?

[bonedaddy]

[GuiRunOnce]

%systemdrive%\install\wpi.cmd

and I've had no further problems with popup, wpi is on CD.

BD

[a06lp]

is it possible to call a cmd file on the CD from GuiRunOnce?

ex:

[GuiRunOnce]
"..\WPI\WPI.cmd"

because I used the code:

"..\WPI\WPI.cmd"

in cmdlines.txt (before i decided to switch methods) and it worked...would it work from winnt.sif?

[Astalavista]

cmdlines - you call the regtweak

;--- WPI HACK

;[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\Styles]

;"MaxScriptStatements"=dword:ffffffff

I have that in my Regtweaks.reg running from cmdlines.txt

???? - you call wpi.cmd (which calls wpi.hta)

I use wpi.EXE (quick batch file converter) modified

which calls wpi.hta

using RunonceEX.cmd

wpi is located in XXX area on my CDROM

cleanup - you remove the regtweak

i remove

;--- WPI HACK

;[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\Styles]

;"MaxScriptStatements"=dword:ffffffff

using cleanup.EXE

can you correct/fill in the blanks?

[a06lp]

not so clear, asta...

first off, whyd u post the same tweak twice?

second, where is your wpi.exe (which for me will be wpi.cmd) being called from???? winnt.sif?

[edit] i see one has InternetExplorer, and the other has Internet Explorer (with a space between), but why the need for both? my reg only has the Internet Explorer key...
