Kelsenellenelvian Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Highlights:WPI ChangeLog. Modifications by Mark Ritter (mritter)===============================================================================* Quotes are now put around the command paths so spaces in the path will betaken care of.* Created a new "built-in" manual. Only 50% done.* Options -> Miscellaneous tab eliminated. Log gadgets moved to Tools tab. Use Multi Defaults checkbox moved to Installer tab. Show Extra Buttons checkbox removed.* WPI now can detect if it was started from a CD/DVD or a harddrive. Ifstarted from hdd then the extra buttons (Options, Config,....) are shown. Ifstarted from CD/DVD then they are automatically hidden. No more forgetting toturn it off when burn a UACD.* Added two new commands for Config wizard: RegKeyExists() and RegKeyValue() foruse in Cond and GCond statements.RegKeyExists("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WPI\Theme") returns true or false.RegKeyValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WPI\Theme")=="Glossy"* Removed all code for Media Player in WPI main window. It is still availablein the install window.* Added an icon in Config wizard to access Universal Silent Switch Finder toeasily find the switches. Arguments are not allowed, just the plain path.Sadicq totally re-wrote USSF, gave it an interface, and incorporated it withWPI so can send the switches directly to the command line.PEiD is no longer needed. Four new images in the themes folders:USSF_Out.jpg, USSF_Over.jpg, USSF_Down.jpg, USSF_Disabled.jpgNOTE: WPI and your archives folder must on the same partition!!!* WPI used to add the \ (backslash) to system variables, it now does not tobe more like native Windows environment.* A list of the global variables is now saved in the log file.* There are some extra sound files in Audio -> Beeps folder. Copy one toyour theme folder and rename to TimerSound.wav* Added to Options -> Installer: 'Start beep at t-minus seconds'To customize when to start count-down beep. Set to 0 to not play sound.* Added a check box in Options -> Installer:'If grayed condition is true, disable the check box'* Fixed a bug dealing with grayed condition not setting the text colorcorrectly.* Added %sleep% to make WPI pause for x seconds. Put it on a command line:%sleep% 10For a 10 second delay. The command window can't be hidden at this time.* Added %reboot% to force a reboot at anytime. Put it on a command line.%reboot% Reboot immediately%reboot% 10 Reboot after 10 seconds%reboot% 15 -c "A message why" Reboot after 15 seconds and show a message* Michael Mims (Zorphnog) updated the installer to allow for a reboot duringthe installation process. This will allow for drivers to be installed or usersettings to be changed, reboot, install the rest of your software.* Sadicq fixed a bug in the Config wizard dealing with adding a new categoryit would duplicate what was already there.* InstallProgBar.png and TimerProgBar.png are now two seperate entries in thewpi.css and installer.css files. Can have two different images.* Updated the Options tabs to a better version that is AJAX based. Thischanged the theme files yet again.* Fixed a bug dealing with forced items not being re-checked when hit Exit andForce Install is checked. Caused by Zorphnoq's update below (not his fault).* The tool tip style is now theme independant. A new file is saved in the theme folder, wpi_style.js, for each theme's tips. Your current settings willbe saved the first time you go in to the Options wizard.* David Di Certo wrote code to get the operating system's language TLA for usein the installer as a variable %oslang%. It can be used like this in acommand line:WindowsXP-KB918899-x86-%oslang%.exe* Fixed a bug dealing with the audio player in the Classic theme.* Eliminated generate.js by moving the code to core.js and installer.js. Alsocleaned up some of the function calls that were repetitive.* The gcond[] statement in config.js is now only saved if changed from thedefault: FileExists('%programfiles%\').* Fixed another bug in the timer if set to 0 in command line args or inuser options.* Fixed a bug in the count down timer.===============================================================================DownloadDownload Here!Notes and ExtrasSuggested disk folder layout:With the above folder layout all your config entries should read like:%wpipath%\Install\Blah.exeI have seperated the tools out from the main archive. You can download the tools here:Tools archive.Contents of the tools archive:WPI Config ListerCDSwitchautorun.inf <-- Updated and fixedwpi.ico New icon thanks to WolfX2TaskKillS.exe from sadicqHere is a quick start package that will set your windows disk up to use WPI with runonceex all you need is to place this %oem% folder at the root of your windows disk. You MUST have the line "OemPreinstall=Yes" in your winnt.sif file if you want to have the MCE theme if you dont feel the need the cmdlines.txt will still run WPI for you even without a winnt.sif file.%OEM% Folder.Contents of the %OEM% archive:Media Center Style XP Theme (NO uxtheme.dll hack needed!)cmdlines.txtregentry to set MCE theme for runonceex window.runonceex.cmd1194 .png images for your pleasue to use in your tooltips or whatever!PNG Collection.How to make a winnt.sif file.Here is a small tutorial on how to add an app to WPI!Ok this is a sample (Very simple) configuration for Windows Defender Beta 2 This assumes you have all of the WPI files either in the WPI folder at the root of your Windows cd or all of the WPI folders (Common, Graphics, WPIScripts, Tools, Install and Themes) and the file WPI.hta at the root of your cd.Remember this is just the most basic and required entries for a program!#1 Place the desired app in the install folder. (In this case WindowsDefender.msi)#2 Run WPI.hta and choose “Config”#3 Choose at the very top above the config section “Add”#4 Enter in the name section “Windows Defender” ßNo quotes! Then click on any other section of the config area to activate the rest of the wizard.#5 You will notice the Unique ID section gets automatically configured for you.#6 All apps are selected to be installed by default right from the start so if you don’t want it selected by default you must uncheck this box.#7 Choose a category for your app to be displayed in. If you want the app to be displayed in a category you don’t see simply chose other and a box will appear that will allow the entry of you choice.#8 In the Command 1 section browse to the installation package you want to have installed. You will get (%CDROM%\WPI\Install\WindowsDefender.msi) to make this work from either a stand-alone CD or form a windows CD You should change this to “%wpipath%\Install\WindowsDefender.msi” Once again NO quotes!#9 Add the necessary switches for the program to run silently i.e. %wpipath%\Install\WindowsDefender.msi /qn#10 Select the Save and then the Exit buttons and you have now configured your first app!Taken from the first post of the release thread!
