Maybe i need to make a command file of it an then :

cmd3[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Install\\Apps\\WindowBlinds5.0\\xcopy.cmd']

cmd3[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Install\\Apps\\ZoneAlarmPro.6.1.737.000\\Taskill.cmd']

Al works fine just these two thing I need to fix, sure that someone cantell me what i'm doing wrong.

WPI can't parse those commands directly, so we'll pass them to the cmd like this:

cmd3[pn]=['cmd /c xcopy /Y /e /Q "%cdrom%\\WPI\\Install\\Apps\\WindowBlinds5.0\\File" "%programfiles%\\Stardock\\Object Desktop\\WindowBlinds\\"']

cmd3[pn]=['cmd /c taskkill /F /IM zlclient.exe']

Thanks mate for your fast reply, I wil try it tomorror......I'll let you know the result.

[Pliek]

cmd3[pn]=['cmd /c taskkill /F /IM zlclient.exe']

This one doesn't work.

Code you gave me for xcopy that works perfect.

Whats the different between %cdrom% and %wpipath% in the example config Mritter an Kel use these different paramaters

I use %wpipath% Like Kel maybe thats why taskill doent work?

Somebody ?????

Are you sure the command doesn't execute right before the program starts (I mean it takes some time for the firewall to start, so the command may get executed after the firewall si installed but before it runs).

The same syntax works perfectly for me, but I had to make something like this for a program:

cmd3[pn]=['ping localhost -n 11']
cmd3[pn]=['cmd /c taskkill /F /IM zlclient.exe']

This will pause the script 10 seconds before moving to the taskkill command.

Thanks sadicq.

I wil test it today....can you tell me the difference between %cdrom% and %wpipath% please........

[sadicq]

Well, %cdrom% will return something like F: if

- wpi.hta is in the root of the drive

- win51 is in the root of the drive

- driver.cab is in the i386 folder on the drive (i386 must be in the root too)

- if none of the above, it will return the first directory that contains wpi.hta looking in the current path

Let's say the current path is C:\temp\wpi\blah and you have your wpi.hta in C:\temp.

WPI will look for it in C:\temp\wpi\blah. Because it can't find it, it will look for it in C:\temp\wpi.

Because it can't find it, it will look for it in C:\temp. So it will return C:\temp.

- if you have no wpi.hta in any directory in the current path, cdrom will return the drive from which you installed your windows.

Attention: this is "translated" by me from the code I saw in generate.js. It may very well be wrong.

On the other hand, %wpipath% returns the path to the folder from which wpi.hta is ran.

So, for only one normal disk, both will do the same.

But if you have 2 cd's with wpi in your drives, I guess %cdrom% will always return the first drive, while %wpipath% will return different things.

I hope I'm right

maybe thats why taskill doent work?

Are you using XP home?

Taskkill is only on XP Pro.

On XP home you have to use tskill.

No I use the Pro version.

Problem SOLVED

[sadicq]

Maybe you tell us where the error was coming from... I'm curious.

[Pliek]

Feel like a real noop.....wrote taskill in stead off taskkill (must have wrote it to quick in my sush to test it).

Shame on me , any way thanks for your command lines to make them both work....taskkill an xcopy.

Thanks sadicq.

@Pliek:

Taskkill being an .exe, you may not even need to use 'cmd /C' with it!

[Pliek]

Strange but without "cmd /C" it didn't work at all.

Previous version of WPI had no problem with it.

[sadicq]

Actually it should work without cmd /c. Maybe it didn't work because it was taskill instead of taskkill?
