Chac.a.l Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 (edited) Hi!! Could some tell me how to use my cab addons previously for nlite but now i see a great option using WPI, i've used a tool that is for this meaning (addons2wpi by Nuno) but it seems not doing in a correct way.I'd like all to know if WPI can "install" for example theme addons, and other stuff that ain't just "simple" .exe or .msi...Thank you! (i've searched about this, and went to the official site of wpi, but as i'm a newbie, i have some dificulty to understand ) Edited March 27, 2008 by Chac.a.l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chac.a.l Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 Ok.. i had seen that post before...and because the question was mentioned for vista i didn't tried the solution of that post...I got to work around your post, where you say:Well all you would have to do is put the *.cab files in a i386 folder, example "%wpipath%\Install\i386" (this stops it from asking where the files are) and use a command to launch the [DefaultInstall] section of the addons *.inf like this:rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection "%wpipath%\Install\InfFileNameHere.inf",,1The ",,1" hides the CopyFiles progress bar making it fully silentSo what i did was, extract my addon (a theme addon made by gorki, that contains *.inf *ini and the *.cab) to the i386 folder that i've made inside of Install (WPI/Install/i386)I've edited the *.inf under [DefalutInstall] deleted what ever was under there and pasted this: rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection "%wpipath%\Install\i386\IllumeCG.inf",,1Then went to the wpi config, on the Command 1 what i did (and not certain that's well) was put the link like this: "%wpipath%\Install\i386\IllumeCG.inf"Is this correct? I don't think so... because i've done the .iso of this xp after and installed on VirtualPC, then it loaded automaticaly the WPI, and clicked to install the theme... but then what it does is open the *.inf and nothing more, it doesn't actualy install anything.Could you tell me what's the problem? I may be in the config of wpi, i should link the .cab and not the .inf??Thank for you attention! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktendo Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Step 1 and 2 were good but you don't have to edit the INF at allJust extract the INF and CABPut the CAB in the i386 folderNow when you config WPI just add this to the COMMAND box (change InfFileNameHere.inf with the name of your INF)RUNDLL32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection "%wpipath%\Install\InfFileNameHere.inf",,1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
