  1. All 5 user files HAVE to be moved to the new "UserFiles" Directory BEFORE your WPI will work as normal!!! Move from wpiscripts directory: config.js networkoptions.js themeoptions.js useroptions.js windowoptions.js To the NEW UserFiles directory! 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. WPI is a simple to use automation program for the choice and installation of multiple programs, tweaks and scripts. No longer will you need a dozen CD's or more when doing a fresh Installation. No longer will you need multiple files when you are servicing another PC. With Windows Post-Install Wizard all that you will need is 1 or 2 CD\DVD's to fully install your PC with all of your apps, scripts, registry files or tweaks. Instead of having to re-download those apps like adobe reader, flash or updates to programs you can have them all on one disk. With WPI you can have all of them all on one disk and then have a nice interface for selecting which apps to install and after configured properly WPI will install all of them without any needed input from you. WPI also and is commonly used added to your windows installation disks. This way you can automate the complete process of Windows and program installations. With your typical setup of WPI you have your OS and all of the apps, tweaks and such on one disk. After windows installs, WPI kicks in and you are given a selection of everything you have configured WPI with, then you can select the ones you want or simply let the timer run out and your default apps will install. Known Bugs\Issues! You cannot minimize the installer window. You cannot "click 'n drag to highlight items. Enabling this exposes a bug that causes instabilities. The rewind button DOES NOT work on the media player... (Probably never has) Nero 7 messes with the IE scripting engine and WPI will not work if Nero 7 has been installed or is currently installed. HOWEVER, This link to Nero Clean tool --> HERE has been reported to fix this issue. So if you wish to use WPI and have had Nero7 installed you will want to "clean" your system first. Midi files should NOT be used if you are copying the audio to harddrive! (use MP3 Files!) Change log!!! (Below in the spoiler section) v8.6.0 Updates - Released September 1st, 2012 ==================================================== *** Fixed some localizations not getting fully utilized. *** Get Firewall product now shows current information. *** Get Antivirus product now shows current information. *** Added Windows and Theme file location into the log. *** Fixed Get Edition ID. *** Added OS Current Build to log. *** More lines at the bottom of the lang_en file. *** Removed some redundant code. (Skins file???) Notes and Extras Suggested disk folder layout: With the above folder layout all your config entries should read like: ["%wpipath%\Install\Blah.exe" /switch] Here is a small tutorial on how to add an app to WPI! OK this is a sample (Very simple) configuration for CCleaner (A.K.A Crap Cleaner) This assumes you have all of the WPI files either in the WPI folder at the root of your Windows cd or all of the WPI folders (Common, Graphics, WPIScripts, Tools, Install and Themes) and the file WPI.hta at the root of your cd. Remember this is just the most basic and required entries for a program! 1. Download the app and place it in the WPI\Install Folder. (CCleaner.exe in this example) 2. Run WPI.hta and click on the ?Config? button\Icon area. 3. Go to the very top area above the config section and click on the button that says ?Add? 4. Enter in the name section ?CCleaner? No quotes! Then press the TAB button to activate the rest of the wizard. 5. You will notice the Unique ID (UID) section gets automatically filled in for you. 6. All apps are selected to be installed by default right from the start so if you don?t want it selected by default you must uncheck this box. 7. Choose a category for your app to be displayed in. If you want the app to be displayed in a category you don?t see simply chose other and a box will appear that will allow the entry of you choice. 8. In the commands tab click on "Add" at the controls area just right of the command line pane and then the the little folder icon and browse to your folder that contains the app, preferably the .\WPI\Install folder then select the CCleaner installer, this will place the appropriate path in the command line. 9. Add the necessary switch(s) for the program to run silently. For CCleaner the switch is /S so you would have your command line looks like so = "%wpipath%\Install\CCleaner.exe" /S (This can be easily done for most standard apps by simply clicking on the USSF button on the far right of the command line.) Other switches for apps that USSF cannot identify you can try looking at the forum section here = MSFN Application Installs section, 10. Select the Save and then the Exit buttons and you have now configured your first app! After wards you configure WPI to run with your CD using whichever method you choose. We suggest using one of the pre compiled and nicely provided $oem$ (Source folder if your are using Vista or Server 2008) folders that can be found in the downloads section. Then you can use an app like nLite, vLite, CDImageGUI or the ISO Creator program included in the tools folder to make your CD w\WPI bootable again. _____________________________________________________________________ I seperated ALL themes except for the WIn7 theme out from the main archive.

  2. No, I will NOT update this version. There is already a secruity flaw in v7 AND it does not work with vuze!
  3. Suggestion? Convert the au3 to an exe and just run it under the silent section?
  4. Hey Byte-Me (I always wanted to say thet ) From the changelog: v8.5.6 Updates - Released August 16th, 2012 ==================================================== *** Fixed out of line boxes issue on layout 3&4. *** Changed the txt in Allow internet check -- -- This is a XP only function. *** Fixed getArch6432 and getmshtaBits don't work. *** Fixed conditions are inserted at the end. *** Fixed a typo in global. *** Fixed wrong path in audio copying\playing. *** Fixed Cannot check categories when items are hidden. *** Fixed Category was not translated in config wizard proglist. *** Yet TONS more code cleanup! *** Streamlined the Registry cleanup functions. They never worked properly. I had to remove them. Sorry you had this issue. If it crops up here is a time saver: In notepad2 you can replace a whole line\section of text with nothing so replace all with a blank entry!!
  5. Maybe there is something wrong with your source?
  6. WOW thats really well kinda rude and unnecesarily put out there. Why are you being confrontive about it? Better put: "Hey Lego, what would be the reason for the txt file the toolkit leaves? Can that be avoided?" If your panties are in a twist about that I hope you don't ever look to close at a nLited\vLited or RT7Lited disk...
  7. Umm what is yumi and WHAT have you tried? If they are legal copies then why are you creating iso's? After some googling (Because you failed to say what you meant by yumi) I think I know what you are talking about. But since you somehow have "Legal" copies that are not .iso's (Which is the only way they would be if they were truly legal.) Digital river downloads AND official MS disks would work and not HAVE to be made into iso's. But since we are on the issue of legal have you tried the OFFICIAL ms tool for this? http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
  8. There are lots of amd mobos that you CAN boot usb 3 with now.
  9. A few tips: DO NOT process a XP OS source on Vista or 7! Disable all av\antimalware apps before starting.
  10. No the "rebuild wim" option at the end cleans junk files and recompresses.
  11. Actualy according to my experiences you can use the integrator on a AIO and select JUST the 86 images or the 64 images and it works fine that way. (I have doen this when customizing my aio)
  12. Ummm wow even on my old 2ghz with 2gigs ram extracting a iso with 7zip only took @10 minutes. HOWEVER I do see your point.
  13. Most of this can be explained by reading the following link: http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8993 Also the best practice is to keep you untouched iso files on your drive and just extract new sources when needed.
  14. PLEASE strive to use proper grammer. TXT speak is annoying as hell on a technical forum!
  15. I get the same and NO custom theme.
  16. Yup thats great.
  17. Actually it was the wzt iso names (Which I am removing) that will actually link back to us when someone searches for the wzt torrent threads in google. I just don't want to invite trouble of any kind. Kapesh? Other than that discuss away and only post "Official MS" iso names, hases and such. PLEASE AND THANK YOU!
  18. Since this is now RTM I must urge you guys to stop here and leave it be... This now falls under rule #1 (Until "Official" distributers are found)
  19. Lego = The hospital thing was not with the monitor and such it was with the receptionist\nurses stations. The it guy had used nLite and somehow several of the systems went down and the couldn't access med lists and such. (allergies things like that) Luckily hospital also keep all of that on paper right handy...
  20. You're not writing a document you are repairing\reinstalling something that people count on and spend money on. The ONLY way to guarantee you work is to do it your self. Do you have ANY clue how win toolkit does everything it does and ALL of the ramifications of your choices? Also when YOU modify and then INSTALL windows on ANY PC but your own you are breaking MS's Eula and opening your customers up to lawsuits and criminal charges. You seem to me a very lazy, disrespectful person... hmmm A hint and a little help next time on that one: http://www.zhangduo.com/udi.html http://www.ryanvm.ne...opic.php?t=9769 I do feel SOME of your pain BUT I take alot of pride in my work. (I do easily 10-20 pc's weekly and build from scratch 25% or so of those.)
  21. And such a person would be much better served by learning to do all this themselves. How much have you supported Win toolkit? How much potential money does it save you in man hours and overall productivity? Seriously does taking GIANT shortcuts make you a better technician? Do you really want to loose your job and potentially any future ones by using an app that you cannot support or explain what\how it did its thing? Especially if you\win toolkit make a serious error and people die over it? (Came close to happening with nLite when a hospital tech used it and several PC's failed at a hospital.) Lego = Once again I urge you to add a no corp or business clause to your app. You need to protect yourself from these people and their follies. i.e. Light a man a fire and keep him warm for the night. Light a man on fire and keep him warm for the rest of his life... I helped Lego add this to the toolkit. WTF Starter? I never said stater. http://www.sevenforu...7-editions.html There are some features that are enabled in the higher versions you cannot avoid. Areo shake, aero peek, dynamic disks, iis web server, offline files. Please do much more research before spouting off. I have been in the OS\Modification and imrovemnet buisness for over a decade. I made the first 3rd party addon for win xp (RyanVM was before me.). I really know what I am talking about.
  22. Have you even looked inb the options section to see if that EXISTS? I see it.
  23. YOU ARE COMPLETELY WRONG! Originall from MDL forums and tweaked by me this method is in win7toolit and adds FULL 32 and 64 bit functionality to the iso... http://www.ryanvm.ne...opic.php?t=8993 As a side note: WHY are you guys making 9+ versions of 7 full images? What is the use? Besides wasting a metrc sh!tload of time and headaches.... Seriously do you guys ACTUALLY NEED all versions of 7? It is really redundant.
