Im currently using wpi5.6 and it just cant work!! ><

i work fine when it is in harddirve

when i make it an iso and mount it

i can see the list of each item to install

but when i press start it shows the list but leaving everything with X

i just cant install

after trying "show extra bottom"

i try it again

i can see each item, but in "config" i see nothing

even i try to load the config.js on my hd or re-wrrite the config.js

when i press the opion

it bump out an error that "cant load opion.js, using the default file"&"cant save the config.js"

need ur help

=====================

im using tra-chinese xp

Can I see your config please?

P.S. Post as an attachment...

here is my config.js and useropnion.js

due to my language is not english, there could be some words that show up incorretly

thanks again

config.js

useroptions.js

it looks to me like an address issue, your calling in example to this location

cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Programs\\Alcohol_120%_1.9.5.3105_Retail.exe'];

from that understanding, it means that in your cd structure the folder called "programs" would need to be in the root of your cd and if the program cant find the correct address to the installations then it cant install them, therefor nothing will install.

can you post your cd structure ? because it seems to me, thats the issue

it is like that :

cd:

wpi

progams (which contain the progams to be install)

and autorun.inf autorun.cmd(which link to wpi.hta)

Will you try the install again and attach your log file for me to look at?

did that means that i have to change my path?

there is too much programs that it will be a mess in cd root....

and why i can do so without any problem in previous verison?

i was not using "programs" as root but it was working

and suddenly it just crashed

i cant make out the diffrence.....

i'll try later and report the result since i am away for few days

thanks for your answer anyway

Is it possible that you have more than one CD-drive?

Then %cdrom% wouldn't be the right way to do this...

I would suggest to place all you software in 'WPI\Install\' instead of 'progams' in the root.

And then use:

cmd1[pn]=['%WPI%\\Install\\Alcohol_120%_1.9.5.3105_Retail.exe'];

instead of

cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Programs\\Alcohol_120%_1.9.5.3105_Retail.exe'];

If you have many to change, there's a very easy way to do this fast...

Just open "WPI\WPIScripts\config.js" in an editor and do a 'search' and 'replace all' to change '%cdrom%\\Programs\\' to '%WPI%\\Install\\'

Also remember that on CD, only the default option-files are used...

I also found that one out the hard way...

On harddisk, I could use another useroptions.js (so, with another name like myoptions.js),

while on CD, only useroptions.js is always used.

I don't know if the same thing would happen when using another name for config.js

Ive tried it ...but its not working

i think the probelm is not about the location of programs but something about loading config.js

becasue when i press on config i cant see nothing even by making an new config.js

it works fine showing all the item but cant load config.js when installing

i just cant figure it out...........................

it is like that :

cd:

wpi

progams (which contain the progams to be install)

and autorun.inf autorun.cmd(which link to wpi.hta)

OK, so you start up from CD...

Can you post the contents of autorun.cmd ?

i have same issue....please help...i have been search through the forum but can not find the solution.

my config file is

pn=1;

prog[pn]=['Mcafee VirusScan Enterprise 8.0'];

uid[pn]=['MCAFEEVIRUSSCANENTERPRISE'];

dflt[pn]=['yes'];

cat[pn]=['Security'];

forc[pn]=['no'];

cmd1[pn]=['%wpipath%\\Install\\McAfee80\\msiexec.exe /i "VSE800.msi" /qb'];

pn++;

the file is under WPI\Install folder

it just "start WPI\wpi.hta"....

i think maybe this problem is because that it does not support some language

so there is some problem loading the *.js file........

maybe the only way to solve is to use en-version xp or try basic cmd-install-all solution

but i really like the interface of wpi and that it can coutomize what to install on system

I need to see your installation log!

Also the only language WPI has problems with is 2-byte Chinese OS...

it just "start WPI\wpi.hta"....

Try this:

In the $OEM$ directory on my CD, I have cmdlines.txt

In there, I have added: RunWPI.cmd

So my cmdlines.txt looks like this:

[Commands]
"rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection nLite.inf,U"
"REGEDIT /S regTweaks.reg"
Royale.exe
RunWPI.cmd

(The first line was added by nLite, the second line was my own addition with registrytweaks.

Don't copy these, just add RunWPI.cmd to your cmdlines.txt.)

RunWPI.cmd is also on my $OEM$ - directory

It doesn't only start WPI, it also recognizes the right CD and creates the %wpipath%-variable with this code:

for /f "delims=: tokens=1" %%i in ("%~dp0") do set drive=%%i:

FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\XP_InstallDVD.txt SET CDROM=%%i:
set wpipath=%cdrom%\wpi

SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

REG ADD %KEY%\999 /V 1 /D "%wpipath%\WPI.hta" /f

On the root of my CD, I also have a blank textfile, named XP_InstallDVD.txt,

used by RunWPI.cmd to recognize my XPinstall-DVD (I have 2 DVD-drives)

You only start with WPI\wpi.hta

Maybe that's why it won't work...
