[Kelsenellenelvian]

Okay post your wpi.cmd, generate,js, config.js and write the folder layout you want down. I will make the needed changes and we wiil try to get this working for you.

WPI.cmd:

@ECHO OFF

REM Example, how to look for CDROM-drive. Must have a file to identify in its root (like WIN51 or WPI.ico).
for %%i in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%i:\wpi.ico set CDROM=%%i:
echo Found CD-Rom as drive %CDROM%

REM Determine the WPI startup path. 
REM if wpi should run off the cd the replace %~dp0 with %cdrom%.
set wpipath=%cdrom%

REM Force resolution to needed size for wpi interface.
--start %wpipath%\common\VideoChanger.exe 1280x1024x32@85 -q

REM Hide this command window.
"%wpipath%\common\cmdow.exe" @ /hid

REM Font installation - the smooth and customizable way.
start /wait %wpipath%\common\fonts\fontinstaller.exe

REM Special registry tweak needed.
regedit /s "%wpipath%\common\wpi.reg"

REM Make WPI directory the current directory.
for /f "delims=: tokens=1" %%i in ("%wpipath%") do %%i:
cd "%wpipath%"

REM Start WPI and wait for its end
start /wait WPI.hta

REM Cleaning up the desktop.

REM Rebooting the sytem to finalize the installation process.
--shutdown.exe -r -f -t 10 -c "Reboot in 10 sec..."

mm,

I'm having a similar problem. All the WPi files reside in %cdrom%\wpi folder. I've edited wpi.cmd to change the wpi startup path to %cdrom%\wpi and the cdrom gets identified correctly. However, when I select the apps to install and begin the install WPI adds WPI to the path of the application to be installed. e.g Nero resides at %cdrom%\$oem$\cd3_apps\nero\nero.exe and the config.js file tell WPI to run %cdrom%\$oem$\cd3_apps\nero\nero.exe. However when i start the install and runonceex begins i get the error that setup cannot find:

"%cdrom%\WPI\$oem$\cd3_apps\nero\nero.exe

I have tried changing the wpi startup path to just %cdrom% and then editing the paths to videochanger, WPI.hta etc to read %cdrom%\wpi but it appears that whatever folder wpi.jta is run from is added to the installation path after the cdrom drive letter.

can anyone tell me why its doing this???

thanks

[newnick]

The problem is this:

REM Make WPI directory the current directory.
for /f "delims=: tokens=1" %%i in ("%wpipath%") do %%i:
cd "%wpipath%"

REM Start WPI and wait for its end
start /wait WPI.hta

In the config.js, all my apps are referenced to %cdrom%\software\

After it changes this, it thinks %cdrom% is now %cdrom%\software\wpi.

then when hta is executed, it looks to d:\software\wpi\software\program

I'm going to hardcode the start /wait and remove the change of the wpipath. I hope nothing else breaks because of it.

Edited July 24, 2005 by newnick

[newnick]

Well, I gave up and moved my software to the WPI dir. Not my preferred work around, but it was quick.

REM Determine the WPI startup path. 
REM if wpi should run off the cd the replace %~dp0 with %cdrom%.
set wpipath=%cdrom%

REM Force resolution to needed size for wpi interface.
--start %wpipath%\software\WPI\common\VideoChanger.exe 1280x1024x32@85 -q

REM Hide this command window.
"%wpipath%\software\WPI\common\cmdow.exe" @ /hid

REM Font installation - the smooth and customizable way.
start /wait %wpipath%\software\WPI\common\fonts\fontinstaller.exe

REM Special registry tweak needed.
regedit /s "%wpipath%\software\WPI\common\wpi.reg"

REM Make WPI directory the current directory.
for /f "delims=: tokens=1" %%i in ("%wpipath%") do %%i:
cd "%wpipath%"

REM Start WPI and wait for its end
start /wait WPI.hta

folders are like:

cdrom:\software\wpi\applications\programs...

and then in config.js, paths are like:

%cdrom%:\\applications\\adobe\\etc

[OliverMaltby]

Newnick, how do you launch the WPI application through Winnit? What code do you use as the only way I can get it to work would be by putting it in the $OEM$ folder, so that it is copied to the hard drive. This means that the applications must also be in that directory, which causes them to also be copied to the hard drive - I would like to avoid this as it helps to reduce the installation time.

[Kelsenellenelvian]

just put wpi.cmd in your $oem$ folder the other stuff can stay on the cd.

[OliverMaltby]

Right I've finally figured out where I was going wrong, I still had the WPI.ico file in the WPI directory. Once I figured that if I put it in the root then everything would fall into place I was very happy, thanks for all your help!

Oliver.
