WPI v8.7.0

[Kelsenellenelvian]

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:
 

1. Download and extract the new WPI archive to a different location.
2. Run the upgrade.cmd file in the old WPI folder.
3. Copy the newly created UserFiles folder from old to new.
4. Copy your Audio folder from old to new.
5. Copy your Install folder from old to new.
6. Copy Themes folder from old to new.
7. Copy all of your Logos\Graphics files the new location.
8. Rename or move your old folder in case something goes wrong.
9. Move the new WPI folder to where you want it.
10. Test it!

 
MAJOR new step!
Update your run WPI methods as WPI\WPI.hta no longer exists! You now need to use WPI\WPI.exe! 
 
Known Bugs\Issues!

• You cannot minimize the installer window.
• 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!)

Personal note from kel:

 

This may be the last release of WPI for a very long time.

 

As some of you know my wife passed away almost three years ago. Time apparently does not heal all wounds mine have gotten much worse.

 

Our 16th anniversary would have been Dec 7th and today (The 8th) is my 40th birthday. I spent 4+ hours today just fighting with the want to suck on my cars exhaust pipe.

 

I live on a extremely limited budget and if not for RyanVM WPI would not even have a website. (mritter and a couple of others even helped me get my net back on)

 

Almost all of 8.6.5+ was coded on a old 15 CRT monitor as the two LCD ones I had have both died quite long ago.

 

WPI no longer is personally satisfying and rewarding I even tried a supporter base program and still got very little donations. ($40 in 3 months from 4 donations, A huge thank you to them!)

 

Living day to day is hard enough right now without having to deal with the demanding emails and pms people keep sending me. 

 

I am not leaving or giving WPI away I am just really thinking about taking a reprieve from what has become a chore.

I know it sounds trite, but hang in there Kel.  There are some of us that do care about you.  Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you,

 

Cheers and Regards my friend,

John

Happy birthday for your 40th anniversary.

[Sh0cker]

Sorry Kels I can't send you a decent monitor, but I can send you some money, I hope this will help a bit.

Take care & Merry Christmas
