September 14, 200619 yr I am wanting to create my own hta Pre compiled Table (for speed) I have pressed on the view source button and it has all the information I need in there. . . being new to java script language I am unable to seperate the table and sucessfully add this to wpi.hta and disabling the generation section to create for myself an ultrafast WPI installer.I think if this feature were possiable using this for more than just a Post installer for windows install and make it possiable to create a cd/dvd menu program (with a huge amount of enteries)can someone help me to build this hta either by creating a 'insert table here' wpi.hta with generation removed or perhaps take up my offer of adding a compile button to the WPI project??? also I noticed that the show source code uses absolute paths and will need to be changed to short path!!if I knew java better I'd be posting a modified WPI.hta here for all to use. . . and if I figure it out over the next few days I will!!Thanks all. . . any help will be great!
September 14, 200619 yr I understand your problem, but I just don't know if it is possible to do what you are trying to do. Sure a html file could be permanently generated so that it doesn't have to be generated as startup. However, the big slow down in WPI under your conditions (400+ applications I believe I read) is the logic checking for the cond, gcond, and deps of every configuration entry.What you are suggesting to do would require a totally different architecture for WPI. The way application configuration entries are processed would have to be totally changed. This would span over the entire system (multiple files).I wish there were a better way to speed up the process, but this is one of the cons of using an html application.
September 14, 200619 yr Author Well this being the case would it be possiable to turn off cond, gcond and deps (could ya point me to the right file to do this myself)??I am not using any of the mentioned features anyway as all utilities are up to date with no need for checking as I built all the Switchlessesssesss myself!!I can see this possiably being a option (mabey in red) in the WPI package (as a sugestion to people doing the same thing) to decrease load times??I've spent tooo long in front of my screen boggling the depths of this script and how smooth it flows with so many active developers GOOD JOB to all!!!Thanks again!

September 14, 200619 yr Most of the dependency checking is in check.js. You will also want to look at boxes.js, this is where the main screen is generated.
September 14, 200619 yr Download the archive included here, unrar it and replace your existing wpi.hta with the one contained in the archive.
September 15, 200619 yr Author Kel it appears your've sent me the un-edited 5.4 WPI.hta (mabey you uploaded the wrong one) or mabey you just trying to tell me to shut up and use the tool your've worked so long and hard to create???Thanks zorphnog your method will keep me very busy till kel gets another look in on his post Edited September 15, 200619 yr by nightwolf81
September 15, 200619 yr Author Hmmmmm I just disabled all depend, gcond and cond it those two files and it was still slow generation process!! I did notice that while I was removing features that I wouldn't get a error message (my bad) until the long delay was complete (I think it's not slowed by these conditions)Any more input??
