Due to the advent of recent MS practices in the past couple of years (I refuse to install windows 10) and the lack of donations\interest in WPI I am announcing that WPI, likely will reach end of support in the next six months. As some of you know I rely solely on disability to live and I can no longer afford to keep up with domain costs, pc repairs and related costs. Sad to announce but it has been a hell of a 13 year run for WPI. In it's current form it works well and will continue to work well with legacy os's (Windows 8 and further back) I really don't have the will or energy to keep trying to breath life into WPI when the support is just not there. Than…

Current Users! The 5 "core" WPI files need to be moved to the new dir. WPI will no longer recognize your files in the wpiscripts dir. To easily do this just run the cmd file "Upgrade", In your old WPI folder, then copy the created UserFiles folder to the new WPI folder. Steps to update your WPI folder: Download and extract the new WPI archive to a different location. Run the upgrade.cmd file in the old WPI folder. Copy the newly created UserFiles folder from old to new. Copy your Audio folder from old to new. Copy your Install folder from old to new. Copy Themes folder from old to new. Copy all of your Logos\Graphics files the new location. Rename or move your o…

Hi, I has been using WPIW for quite a while. Moving from XP to Seven, I bump into a syntax problem I suppose. I used a cmds[pn] statement as follow cmds[pn]=[' "%wpipath%\\PathToExe\\MainExe.exe" /s /v/qn','{CMD} IF EXIST "%wpipath%\\PathToExe\\ExeFile.exe" start "Title" /WAIT "%wpipath%\\PathToExe\\ExeFile.exe" /s /v/qn ']; cond[pn]=['FileExists("%wpipath%\\PathToExe\\MainExe.exe")']; I always get and error cmd2 *** Fail *** (returned code 999): IF EXIST "D:\WPI\PathToExe\ExeFile.exe" start "Title" /WAIT "D:\WPI\PathToExe\ExeFile.exe" /s /v/qn What is really weird, it is working under XP (tested with version 8.5) but not with version 8.6.3 Can anyo…

Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI for short) is a hypertext application designed for giving users choice. While Windows XP offers many ways of customizing the setup process out of the box, its major drawback is the lack of being able to select which applications an end user may install. In the past, end users and administrators needed to either download the files manually, or create overly complex scripts that could only be used once. WPI allows you to create one image, which can then be custom configured, and optionally, automated, so that end users can install any applications that have been configured into WPI. Highlights! 4 more commandlines Reboot issues fixed. …

Hi there, I try to use WPI for installing some Apps. I added them in WPI 5.6 with the integrated Wizard. Now when i integrated the WPI in a Windows Image and tried to install the Apps with WPI, WPI installed some and some not. Effectively it are 2 Problems : 1.) When i select only one App (no matter which) then WPI simply shuts down and nothing happens 2.) When i select all Apps then WPI installs all but one categorie. Maybe it has to do with the Categorie? (@problem #2). I first created an own categorie named "Internet" for Apps like Firefox, QuicktimeAlternative and so on. Then WPI had some errors, so i switched all "Internet" Apps to "Utilities" brought by WPI itself…

I'm using the batch file at the end of this post in WPI to install tasks to Windows 8 task scheduler. In Windows 7 I could confirm the install worked by making WPI query the Windows 7 task scheduler folder. But Windows 8 no longer stores the tasks in a hidden folder. In addition, the command line "SCHTASKS /Query", which is suppose to display all scheduled tasks, does not display the one's I've imported, even after they are run by the PC. Anybody got a workaround so I can reliably use the WPI dependency function? @echo offCOLOR 1aECHO.echo Importing Tasks for Windows Tash SchedulerC:\Windows\System32\timeout.exe /T 2 /NOBREAKCLSCOLOR 1aecho.echo DATA SYNC NETWORK *******…
