How use WPI in UA Vista

How use WPI in UA Vista

Good question

I haven't installed Vista yet. I am not any a hurry, either. But will do a test machine this spring/summer. Don't expect anything too soon.

Tested in vista, WPI works fine

Havnt test this with runonce yet.

EDIT hmmmm, i doesnt work as good as i thought

When i click wpi.hta , it opens without any errors.

but when a .cmd file opens the wpi.hta , it gives an error.

Cant open reg key for reading.

( In Vista32 )

no one?

It's not that simple that it was with Win XP, I think. I managed it by using ConfigurationSet in the UA Install, so an WPI.cmd gets copied to %systemdrive%\Install and I call it per AutoUnattend.xml. I will try to explain in the next days.

You can place such folder in your install.wim, that not the difficult part.

To run it without errors and run things from cdrom, thats what doesnt work

Ater i opened core.js , i saw the problem, it looks for XP files.

	// %CDROM%
	li = GetDriveLetters(4);
	for (i=0; i<li.length; i++)
	{
		if (FileExists(li[i]+'\\WPI.HTA') || FileExists(li[i]+'\\WIN51') || FileExists(li[i]+'\\I386\\DRIVER.CAB'))
			cddrv = li[i];
	}

	if (cddrv=="")
	{

I just changed the xp things into vista things in core.js , that was all........

LOL even the makers from wpi never respond to this....they had to know after i posted the error, but they didnt.

Glad i found this myself

Problem solved WPI runs in vista now.

And where do you see Pliek?

Just edit the core.js

In that file you look for this :

if (FileExists(li[i]+'\\WPI.HTA') || FileExists(li[i]+'\\WIN51') || FileExists(li[i]+'\\I386\\DRIVER.CAB'))

Change "WIN51" and "I386\\DRIVER.CAB" into things that are on your vista DVD.

I use this ( these things are in MY Vista DVD ) :

(FileExists(li[i]+'\\WPI.HTA') || FileExists(li[i]+'\\AppsRoot.txt') || FileExists(li[i]+'\\sources\\install_Windows Vista (vLite) ULTIMATE.clg'))

And to start WPI i used firegeier's guide :

http://firegeier.unattended-sponsor.de/en/applications.html

But instead of installing aps from there i only use this for WPI

%AppsRoot%Install\WPI\WPI.hta

I use RunOnceEx method with wpi (old version wpi lite 1.2 with the 6.0 iernoncedll) no problem with Vista but with UAC DISABLED !

btw, why Microsoft invented the UAC ?!

all n00bs will doesn't know what's question is when UAC pop up,

and all geeks know perfectly what's the pop up and he's boring to click "Continue"
