I saw that inside the wpi.cmd file instead of:

REM Start WPI and wait for its end
start /wait %windir%\system32\mshta.exe "%CD%\wpi.hta"

now there's:

REM Start WPI and wait for its end
wpi.hta

Without "start" windows can't find the correct associated application for the wpi.hta file and each time it asks me to chose an application to open it with. Am I the only one with this problem?

Did you try changing it back to

start /wait %windir%\system32\mshta.exe "%CD%\wpi.hta"

?

yes sure I did. i was just reporting because probably i was not the only one having this problem.

You have a fresh install of Windows ? what version ? nLited ?

Francesco,

It sounds like either your %PATH% variable may not be set right when wpi.hta runs or .hta files are not associated correctly. Check to see if the path is modified, run the PATH command from a dos or command prompt and see if %windir%\system32 is in the path.

If it is, Windows should know to run mshta.exe with .hta files.

Hope this helps.

No i'm using a clean install of windows 2003 I don't know if some applications removed the hta association however since I got it installed for a long while.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.hta]

@="htafile"

"Content Type"="application/hta"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.hta\PersistentHandler]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htafile\Shell\Open\Command]

@="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\mshta.exe \"%1\" %*"
