muiz Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 In 5.4 , ShowMultiDefault=false; ShowExtraButtons=false; is automatic.Thats great ,but...I have 2 WPI folders on my DVD , one is for normaly install with Windows, and it autohides the buttons nicely.The other is when i am already in Windows , and i put back in the dvd the autorun pops up my second WPI.And i can choose the programs that i forgot to install or want to install later.But cause thats when i am already in Windows it shows me the buttons again.Is there a way to still remove this as you could with 5.3 ?

vampyrus Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 (edited) Kel, I am new to your program and was just wondering if u could tell me something. in your initial post above you make note that there is a need to add / or \ marks to the config.js file ... what / or \ marks do u mean ? Maybe u could provide some sort of quick example or sumthing ?? thx muchly ...also .... is there a way in which I can get WPI to insert my serial numbers for my programs that I have paid for so I don't have to do it myself later ?? would this be a registry entry or sumthing ?? thx again ...

Kelsenellenelvian Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 Ok the whole backslash thing was for pre-existing config files.As for having reg entries installed there is a full section on application installs in this forum that will tell much of what you need to know. If you still need help get ahold of me and I will help you as much as I can. I am pretty good at getting apps to install registered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vampyrus Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 (edited) I checked the applications forum you mentioned and wasn't really able to find much that actually explains how to add information such as registration and serial details, maybe I just missed it, I am blind as a bat at the best of times. There was some mention of using .reg files to incorporate this information but how do I know just what to put in the .reg files and how do I go about actually entering this info into WPI. I know that the nero silent install allows you to use a /serial=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx line in its silent install switches area. Is it possible to use this for other programs as well ?? The other question I have for you is this: I noticed that many apps that use a .msi installer also seem to have a .exe install file in there. Which file do I actually use when incorporating them into WPI and do I still need to have the other file in the install folder. When I have finished incorporating all of my programs in WPI do I have to create a script of any kind to tell windows to run it?? or add a line to my existing runonceex file or anything ?? I use nlite to slimline my XP and then create my ISO once all my integration has been finished. thx again ... all help is much appreciated ...EDITDon't know what I'm doing wrong but all of a sudden WPI won't let me do anything ... After I input the first program I select the add button and nothing happens. When I try and save I get an error message saying: "could not save ./wpiscripts/config.js"RE-EDITProblem fixed ... it seems that sumthing had gone wrong with my WPI so I downloaded it and started using a new copy and it's all working again.

Dynaletik Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 (edited) I just wanted to notice that WPI 5.4 perfectly works on Windows Vista RC1 (german x64) for me!I am working on how to start WPI.hta on first login, but after starting it manually all the WPI features seemed to work. Even the installation after reboot worked. Great work!!! Edited September 19, 2006 by Dynaletik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zorphnog Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 @vampyrus: There is not one method for registering applications that works for every application. Each one is different, but most of them should be in that Application Installs forum. Search for each application you need help with individually. You should be able to find some detailed instructions, including registration information, for most common applications. If not, post a new topic in that forum with the applications you need help with. Those guys should have it figured out in no time.@Dynaletik: Good to hear about the Vista compatibility!

mritter Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 @Sereby: 999 is not the highest install order. 999999 is. And you can't have 'Install by category' checked, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sereby Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 k but why should i use this one? i dont have more than 40 apps there so why dont it work with 999? and its not checked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mritter Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 To put it simply and honestly: that's the way it has always been. WPI has always done it this way, I don't like it so I added Execute Before and After to take care of my needs. The 999 was original, 999999 came later like in 4.4.
