I put the WPI.cmd into %CDROM%\sources\$OEM$\$1\Install, so it gets copied to %systemdrive%\Install during setup. (Delete that folder with cleanup.cmd later)

WPI.cmd:

cmdow.exe @ /HID
@ECHO OFF

for %%i in (C 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:\sources\install.wim set CDROM=%%i:

start %CDROM%\Install\WPI\WPI.hta

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.

My XML file looks like this. i am little confuse. where do i put the code so it start the setupcomplete.cmd code in this xml.

or is it enough to just unrar yoursd files and then install the everything ?
