Oliii Posted November 18, 2005 Author Share Posted November 18, 2005 Another thing, why the WPI after installing programs doesnt delete the icons and doesnt reboot the machine?But its set in the WPI.cmd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solid as a rock Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 (edited) What is Configurations line (array/row/string I dont know more word for it) for?It is placed under the Category dropdown box.What can I do with it.??In the example file at some applications its set to Yes.why dont you read the manual which is included with WPI? listen... you can set multiconfigs, for example, you have 3 sorts pc (PC1=school PC2=home PC3=office). on PC1 you need to install program 1 , 2 , 4 , 7. on PC2 you need to install 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 6, 7 on PC3 you need to install 6 and 7. this is not really needed, it is a feature of WPI, to choose 3 (of more) configs.i have disable the multiconfig by removing all lines with "home, office, school". maybe i will use it in the future. i am kindly new to WPI (i use now 2 weeks) is it clear for you? please dont ask so much, read the manual which is included in your WPI. Another thing, why the WPI after installing programs doesnt delete the icons and doesnt reboot the machine?But its set in the WPI.cmdvery good question, i noticed the same as you.

Oliii Posted November 18, 2005 Author Share Posted November 18, 2005 Ive found a solution that might work.Just create a cleanup.cmd as it is written on the unattended mfsn page.And then just insert into the application list and give it 999 for the position.And at the end of the setup it will be executed and viola the Pc restarts and delets the icons.

Oliii Posted November 18, 2005 Author Share Posted November 18, 2005 I know now why it doesnt do anything.Just remove the REM thing which is before the command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
