I would like to change the default order of installation (Starting at 00500) to something higher, say, 900 or even 1000. I'm not a whiz at jscript, (picked it up when I started playing with WPI) so I can't locate where exactly I need to look. Can someone point me to the right direction?

Ok well I edited WPI so I can have more than 99 programs. now I have a limit of 9999 and could easily up it again.

the File is "Common\configwizardtemplate.htm"

<div align="right">Install order</div></td>
	  <td width="40" valign="bottom" >
		<input name="ordr" type="text" class="CfgTextBox" id="ordr" size="3" maxlength="3"></td>

to

<div align="right">Install order</div></td>
	  <td width="40" valign="bottom" >
		<input name="ordr" type="text" class="CfgTextBox" id="ordr" size="4" maxlength="4"></td>

This was because the first 2 number I have to define the section then the last 2 for which program in that section.

• Drivers - 00XX
  Common - 01XX
  OS Specific - 02XX
  Office Progs - 03XX
  Multimedia - 04XX
  Instant Messengers - 05XX
  Other - 06XX
  Download Clients - 07XX
  Maintenance Tools - 08XX
  Web Dev Tools - 09XX
  Games - 10XX
  WebHosting Apps - 11XX
  Programming Tools - 12XX
  Sync Tools - 13XX
  

thats how It use to be before I started using WPI but its still simular

That is exactly what I was trying to do, and for the same reason. Only I was looking at the wrong file. Thank you for posting your work, It'll be easy to modify things now!

Will change the next version to allow a limit of 9999.

When WPI writes the RunOnceEx entries it starts numbering at 500 for installs that have no particular order. Is it possible to start that numbering at 5000? I cannot locate exactly how and where that number is allocated. Any help would be greately appreciated.

It is in program.js look here is the modified entry:

//--------------------------------------------------------------------

//Create a program object

function program(idx)

{

position = "program.js";

var i = '0' + ((ordr[idx]==null)?(idx+5000):ordr[idx][0]);

while (i.length<4) i = "0" + i;

this.ordr = ;

this.cat = cat[idx] ;

this.prog = prog[idx] ;

this.desc = desc[idx] ;

this.textl= textl[idx] ;

this.texti= texti[idx] ;

this.regb = regb[idx] ;

this.cmd1 = cmd1[idx] ;

this.cmd2 = cmd2[idx] ;

this.cmd3 = cmd3[idx] ;

this.cmd4 = cmd4[idx] ;

this.cmd5 = cmd5[idx] ;

this.cmd6 = cmd6[idx] ;

this.picf = picf[idx] ;

this.picw = picw[idx] ;

this.pich = pich[idx] ;

this.rega = rega[idx] ;

this.forc = forc[idx] ;

this.cons = cons[idx] ;

this.uid = uid[idx] ;

this.deps = deps[idx] ;

this.excl = excl[idx] ;

this.cond = cond[idx] ;

this.dflt = (dflt[idx]==null)?['no']:[dflt[idx][0]] ;

this.configs=(configs[idx]==null)?['']:[configs[idx][0]];

Jackpot! Thank you very much
