Lost Soul Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 hmm maybe you should just make your wpi seperate from your unattended setup that way its on a different cd and you can use it when and how you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 So you do like a lot of us do and make a fully seperate WPI disk you can us at any time or even if your are brave let a friend use.For the most part you only have to change one setting in the wpi.cmd file to make WPI a stand-alone disk.i.e %~dpo needs to be changed to %cdrom% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelsenellenelvian Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 WPI.cmd opens WPI.hta and performs other needed tasks so please use wpi.cmd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oioldman Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 kelsenellenelvian,I just call the .hta and have encountered no issues of any kind.Is their a specific reason for calling the .cmd to call the .hta file?Cheers,Oldman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 (edited) The wpi.cmd file calls a much needed .reg file and also implements tools and sets the %wpipath% = %cdrom% variable.For smaller WPI setup that don't run too long WPI.hta will serve just fine (like 5 - 10 small apps) any more than that and you will get a "scipt on this page is causing explorer to run slowly" type error.WPI.hta will work ok but if you don't need the extras and your WPI is small but I would reccomend using wpi.cmd for full functionality.

oneless Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 ...%~dpo needs to be changed to %cdrom%....<{POST_SNAPBACK}>@kel , i use only a separate WPI_CDi dont make the change you suggest above and all works fine .i will not even try this change because all its ok and i have not reasons tochange some .all my already past problems was generated by win51 file whodont exist on my computer or my WPI_CD (in ver. 3.5.1 & 3.6)in 3.6.1 & 3.6.2b i found already changed win51 with wpi.ico.
