WPI and Vista

[steviewonder]

I've added wpi to the Vista DVD and everything works great.

Only thing I need to do now is have wpi launch after install.

My Unnattended. XML was created in V-lite as I have limited knowledge

of it.

Is there a line of code that I can add to the answer file to launch it?

The wpi.hta is on the root of the disk.

I found an easy solution:

In this folder ---> sources\$OEM$\$Docs\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\

Put this shortcut ---> WPI>HTA.lnk

[razormoon]

Have you tried DVD:\sources\$OEM$\$$\setup\scripts\SetupComplete.cmd?

[Yurek3]

You can show exomple SetupComplete.cmd file Please

[steviewonder]

No, I'll try it

[MAVERICKS CHOICE]

Only problem with this guys you need to clean the script following execution or else it will try to run following a restart reboot etc.

The first logon/run once from your xml is a far better option here.

OMG I DID IT!!!!

Details to come.

I use WPI in UA Vista since a few months and it always works.

After first login, the WPI screen comes up and I can install the apps. WPI just rocks!

Yeah but my implementation is a simple cmd file placed in the right section so it would be just "Drop Here" for those technically challenged folks.

[Kelsenellenelvian]

OK here goes I tested this method on Home basic, Buisiness, and Ultimate and UAC never even gave me a complaint. O.o

Simply extract this to the root of your cd.

http://www.wpiw.net/downloads/sources.rar

It will ask something like do you want to overwrite\add the folder just say yes.

[Dynaletik]

Oh my god. This is awesome Kel. Thanks for this. Just tooo easy.

Just tested and works! Didn't read about the "sources\$OEM$\" method before, it doesn't even need any entries in the AutoUnattend.xml and it seems to work like OEM method in XP.

This doesnt work for all of us, i install other things at that point and let the pc reboot there.

So thats why i use the XML way.
