I need some serious testers for the next version of WPI.

Things I need tested:

Performance of kTools

No errors with small install.

Just a few observations that we can consider to change:

1. There is a more complete WPI.cmd from Doc Symbiosis, do you want to include it? Found Here...started our quest for path independence...maybe write WPIPATH instead of SWPATH...WPIPATH needed to launch kTool.exe from Tools Directory and we wouldn't have to change the generate.js again? I'm sure Doc would be happy to help us out on any mods or let us do them.

2. Get rid of my comments in generate.js before going final.

3. Look at the T-12 stage of install and possibly change kTool.ini location, see post from Yurek3:

Hopefully, he will get to test and give us some feedback on whether it works, I do not implement like this.

4. Re-Compile wpi.exe with WPI.ico? Won't attach due to file limits, but can compile with the icon imbedded. Would be able to lose the wpi.ico file as long as changes to file detection dependencies (like cd detect in generate.js) for this file were redirected to another file like the wpi.exe or wpi.hta.

Details so far excluding the write-up above.

-Works well with 7 application installs with UNC path, Mounted Network Drive, and CD.

--CD install called from GUIRunOnce in Winnt.sif

-Noticed I had to change my .msi files to include the "msiexec /i" preceding the install path...think it is a function of how kTool handles msi.

i was wondering why i was having trouble installing any msi files

One other observation I overlooked:

Will add support for debug in generate.js

if (!debugOn)

Just before the line to launch kTool.exe

WshShell.Run(kTool_exe, 1, true);

Also, sounds like the change from writing ktool.ini to the system32 directory worked for Yurek3 in the early stages of install, can make that mod as well to change the location if there is no objection.

Results at this post...Thanks Yurek3, I would not have caught that!

Just noticed WPI.hta says

VERSION = "4.3.6"

at the very top of the document in the HTA tag
