Hi all,

Excellent site and forums btw. I have a question regarding the execution of the WPI.cmd batch file.

In the \$OEM$\$1\Install\ I have a folder called WPI with all the WPI files and folders inside it.

Would I be correct in adding the line ".\$1\Install\WPI\WPI.cmd" to cmdlines.txt and this would execute the WPI.cmd batch file?

Also, I have cmdlines.txt in the $OEM$ folder but what executes that file ?

Thanks in advance

The normal way is to call wpi.cmd from winnt.sif

Just add a line like this in your winnt.sif:

[GuiRunOnce]
%systemdrive%\install\wpi\wpi.cmd

WPI is used to replace other methods like RunOnceEX and batch scripting. Possible cleanup scripts or stuff like that can be called from wpi.hta like other programs or you can call them from within wpi.cmd after wpi.hta has finished.

ok thanks for the reply, what I really should have asked is how do I get WPI to run from my particular setup I have.

Here is my cmdlines.txt :

[COMMANDS] 
".\useraccounts.cmd" 
"REGEDIT /S .\RegTweaks.reg"
".\$1\Install\WPI\WPI.cmd"
".\cleanup.cmd"

Here is some of my winnt.sif :

you seem to have it right, there are various ways to call wpi from, runonceex, cmdlines, guirunonce,
