This can be used if launching stand-alone programs, like FireFox, from a USB key. Or to check the status of cond[] and gcond[] conditions after installing some core programs. * Fixed the way the Config wizard file requester and USSF gadgets are toggled. * Added DriveType() to check what kind of drive a letter is. DriveType("D:") Returns one of these values: UNKNOWN, REMOVABLE, FIXED, NETWORK, CDROM, RAMDISK * Added DriveExists() for cond and gcond statements. DriveExists("E:") Returns true or false. * Installer now resumes before the desktop is displayed, but still after the user logon. * Put back "Show extra buttons" options in Options -> Interface.

* Options -> Miscellaneous tab eliminated. Log gadgets moved to Tools tab. Use Multi Defaults checkbox moved to Installer tab. Show Extra Buttons checkbox removed. * WPI now can detect if it was started from a CD/DVD or a harddrive. If started from hdd then the extra buttons (Options, Config,....) are shown. If started from CD/DVD then they are automatically hidden. No more forgetting to turn it off when burn a UACD. * Added two new commands for Config wizard: RegKeyExists() and RegKeyValue() for use in Cond and GCond statements. RegKeyExists("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WPI\Theme") returns true or false. RegKeyValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WPI\Theme")=="Glossy" * Removed all code for Media Player in WPI main window. It is still available in the install window. * Added an icon in Config wizard to access Universal Silent Switch Finder to easily find the switches. Arguments are not allowed, just the plain path. Sadicq totally re-wrote USSF, gave it an interface, and incorporated it with WPI so can send the switches directly to the command line. PEiD is no longer needed. Four new images in the themes folders: USSF_Out.jpg, USSF_Over.jpg, USSF_Down.jpg, USSF_Disabled.jpg NOTE: WPI and your archives folder must on the same partition!!! * WPI used to add the \ (backslash) to system variables, it now does not to be more like native Windows environment. * A list of the global variables is now saved in the log file. * There are some extra sound files in Audio -> Beeps folder.

%reboot% Reboot immediately %reboot% 10 Reboot after 10 seconds %reboot% 15 -c "A message why" Reboot after 15 seconds and show a message * Michael Mims (Zorphnog) updated the installer to allow for a reboot during the installation process. This will allow for drivers to be installed or user settings to be changed, reboot, install the rest of your software. * Sadicq fixed a bug in the Config wizard dealing with adding a new category it would duplicate what was already there. * InstallProgBar.png and TimerProgBar.png are now two seperate entries in the wpi.css and installer.css files. Can have two different images. * Updated the Options tabs to a better version that is AJAX based. This changed the theme files yet again. * Fixed a bug dealing with forced items not being re-checked when hit Exit and Force Install is checked. Caused by Zorphnoq's update below (not his fault). * The tool tip style is now theme independant. A new file is saved in the theme folder, wpi_style.js, for each theme's tips. Your current settings will be saved the first time you go in to the Options wizard. * David Di Certo wrote code to get the operating system's language TLA for use in the installer as a variable %oslang%. It can be used like this in a command line: WindowsXP-KB918899-x86-%oslang%.exe * Fixed a bug dealing with the audio player in the Classic theme. * Eliminated generate.js by moving the code to core.js and installer.js.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------* Sadicq updated the Source Source option to add line numbers and the ability to copy/paste the code with a right-click. * Built theme 'Glossy_Horiz' to get extra space in Config wizard for 1024x768 screen resolutions. * Added 'Show Extra Buttons' to Options -> Miscellaneous tab to show/hide the Options, Config, View Source, and About WPI buttons in one step. * Fixed small bug when uncheck category checkbox, it would uncheck all items, including forced items. * Forced install items are now always checked and disabled so can not be unchecked. Selected items are now changed to a different color to stand out better. Change color in theme folder's wpi.css under .chktxt. Submitted by zorphnoq. * Classic and Glossy images updated. * Added the sort order value next to the Name of the program in the Navigation pane in Config Wizard. And put a little extra space between lines for easier reading. * Fixed a bug in Config wizard with Navigation pane jumping around in long lists. * Fixed bug when going from a long config list to a shorter one not clearing out the previous one first. * Fixed bug when moving from Options or Config to Show Source, Begin Install gadget was either hidden or not hidden correctly. * The Manual button has been removed. Added About button in it's place. * Options wizard now is dynamically tabbed and has gone through a major cosmetic update to bring it up to "modern standards". * Removed Debug Mode. * Increased the size of the wizards for 1024x768 screens. * Added theme-based folder gadgets for the file requesters. In the themes folders: Folder_Out.jpg, Folder_Over.jpg, Folder_Down.jpg, Folder_Disabled.jpg

* When add a new category in config wizard it is now added to the drop-down list immediately. * New option to randomly select a theme. * Fixed the language codes to the proper ones. Will affect the loading of some languages, but will default to English. * WPI will now start with the user's native language, if available, but can still be manually switched. (sadiqc) =============================================================================== v5.2 Updates - Released July 31, 2006 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------* Changed and simplied the themes file, wpi.htm. The change has made 5.1 themes obsolete. But the changes made were for user submitted ideas and removal of legacy code no longer used. * Fixed a bug in the themes dealing with the BgPicture. * If not playing audio in WPI, then the timer will click as it counts down the final 10 seconds. * Dj improved the installer code again to cure the looping problem, added Pause and Abort buttons, and general code cleaning. Works much better now. * Updated themes to hide the timer when user clicks to stop it. Also updated the progress bar display. * Fixed a bug dealing with CheckOnLoad. * Fixed a potential error when saving the .M3U files. =============================================================================== v5.1 Updates - Released July 4, 2006 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------* Can now restart or shut down the computer after installation is complete. Can also allow the Desktop to load or not. Useful for making a Ghost image.

* Now every text is localized. The language files have many new lines in them. * Updated, "tricked", all the file requesters to clear the default file before opening to prevent sending a file name if hit Cancel. * Took out all support for Disc Path. It was dead and a non-usable function that was never accessable. * Fixed bug in timer progress bar count down. Was going way too fast. * Updated the options and config wizards to allow for creating new, loading other, and saving current settings under different names. There are new gadgets: New Options, Load, Save As... The current files are displayed in the respective wizard. When exit each wizard, that file is set as the default and will be loaded the next time WPI is run. If the file does not exist it will default back to the original: useroptions.js or config.js. If the path contains '\WPI\WPIScripts\' it will be assumed the file is in the WPI main folder and will change the path to relative './WPIScripts/'. The files should be kept in the WPIScripts folder. With the new command line args, you will have to specify them in your cmd script since they are saved as registry entries. * Updated the wpi.htm theme file yet again. Removed the config wizard <table> gadget template and updated it to match the options wizard template. Sizes and locations are now consistant. This does require a simple update to 5.0 themes. * Added command line support to specify different config and user options files: WPI.hta options=useroptions_mritter.js config=config_mritter.js check=Work timer =30 If a path is not specified for the file, it will assume they are in WPIScripts. It will still check for: WPI.hta Work 30 for backwards compatibility. But update your tags, please. They will probably change in the future. Thanks to Dj again for the code and help. NOTE: Paths can be full (starting with a drive letter) or relative to WPI.hta (starting with '.\' or '..\') and must end in '.js'. Spaces are supported only is a path is provided and properly quoted: (config="c:\space in\file path.js").

* Took out function path(). It was redundant of replpath(), which is now ReplacePath(), and the redundant code was actually never used. It was doing a check that would never be true. Dj then updated it more to handle all environment variables easier. * Dj updated code to handle multiple lines in program names. Just put a <br> in the text to break it. * Split the huge 300K lang.js file into seperate language files to keep RAM usage down and for easier editing. English is loaded as default, followed by specified language. If text is missing, English is used. * Added a fix for PNG transparency problem. * Added Options -> Installer: Sort Within Categories. If checked will sort the items in each of the categories. If not, then the order they are created is maintained. Useful if you want items displayed or installed in a certain order not condusive to ordr[]. * Fixed a bug with picw, pich, textl not displaying the proper values in the Config wizard when switching entries. The default was being set in the wrong function/location. * Updated code to reflect changes in config lists dynamically. No more having to save the list first, reload, then go back to Options -> Installer tab. * Added a drop down box in Config wizard to aid in selecting Configurations. * Added a drop bow box in Options -> Installer wizard to aid in selecting a category sort order. * Fixed a bug in Audio Player showing a blank line if song list is empty. * Install log now lists failures as *** Fail *** to help stand out. * Updated Selections drop-down box to group items better. * Put some standard defaults in the globals.js for times when there is not a config.js and useroptions.js file and the first config entry is made; it would no show up. * Added function getSPver() to get the Service Pack value. Returns 1, 2, 3, etc., or 'Not found'. ===============================================================================

v5.0 RC3 Updates - Final ------------------------------------------------------------------------------* Thanks to "almulder", the wizards now have background colors and images for easier reading over the main background image. I made it fully themed, which, changed the wpi.htm theme file some and added some new images to the themes folder: OptionsBg.jpg, OptionsTabDown.jpg, OptionsTabUp.jpg Look in the wpi.css for style sheet editting. * Nearly every item is now fully style sheet compliant. Added for: <HR> for 3 types all the wizards text and buttons Look in the wpi.css for the new options at the bottom and near the top. * Took out message after saving a config file. Mouse goes busy and all buttons are disabled. Mostly for looks. * If a grayed condition is true, the checkbox is now disabled so there is no way it can be selected. * Completely re-wrote the installer code with a lot of help from user Dj. The handling of arguments was not working in all situations. RegEdit needed a little tweaking, also. * Added these new translations: German, Romanian, French, Polish, and Russian. Thanks to all the translators. v5.0 RC2 Updates ------------------------------------------------------------------------------* Fixed a bug with the install order numbering system. * Fixed a bug with the timer.

v5.0 Updates - Released June 1, 2006 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------* Created built-in installer with progress bar and embedded MediaPlayer. There are no known problems with MSI installers. * Created new Config Wizard with only one set of gadgets. This greatly reduces the time required to render the config because it used to duplicate the 240 lines of code for each program. Hence, if you have 100 programs, it would take 24,000 lines of code and a lot of time to display.

* Changed the base theme .htm and .css files to reflect the above changes. It now checks for the minimum version required. This will require all previous themes to be updated. * All .htm files have been cleaned up and MANY coding errors fixed. * All source files have been cleaned up and MANY MANY errors corrected. * Most of the code has been touched and updated to reflect new changes. * Re-arranged some of the control buttons. * Re-arranged most of the gadgets in Options Wizard to group similar items better. * Added: Disable category check boxes. So can't select entire catetgory with one click. User request. * Added new version of Tip Message. Removed old flevPersistentLayer() code. Smaller and cleaner code. This also changed the Style[] flags a bit. * In Tools folder is a demo of Tip Message to show the possibilities by simply changing the Style[] tags. * Added option to disable showing of tool tips. * Moved Text Indent from Config Wizard to Options Wizard so it gets set globally. Having the option for every program is redundant and wastes code/memory. * Config Wizard is now "smarter". Example: if picture not specified then child gadgets are disabled and values not saved in config.js file. * Using the built-in WPIPath() instead of the ".\\common\\xxxxxx.yyy" method. * CD check now checks for the existance of 3 files. The absolute path check looks for 2 files now. * Added MAKEDIR command to go along with FILECOPY, DIRCOPY, and RENAME. * Added an extra bug tracker. Still not perfect but better than what was available.

* Moved all the global variables from their respective .js file into main.js to group them all together. Easier check for duplicate names and for future enhancements. * Moved all .js files into WPIScripts. * Fixed bug in themes/wpi.htm in selecting the proper 'load_checks'. It worked for defaults, but not a specified name. * Updated bug with cat and config drop-down box selection. * Removed Reload button from Options Wizard due to a snag in the way the config lists drop down box needs to be updated. * Options Wizard: config list and check on load gadgets now work together. * Changed timer='yes'; and ReallyForce='yes'; to true/false statements. WPI still checks for both for backwards compatibilty. More consistant with rest of options. * Took out smallbart.gif and smallbarb.gif in the themes. * Removed appsPerInstallWindow. No longer needed since not using RunOnceExe. * Removed all the 'var' tags from the useroptions.js file. Redundant. * Removed sorting option. It now always sorts the items in their category. Now it checks if installByCategory=true, then it installs in the order the items are listed in the windows (sortorder[]). Else, it will install by user's specified order. * Category checkbox is now checked at start if all sub-items are checked by default. * Updated ExtractArgs() and installer to allow spaces in path name. * Spread the Options out across 4 tabs: Interface, Installer, Tools, and Miscellaneous, to un-crowd the window. This is especially usefull on screens less than 1280x1024. * The new Tools tab includes: Execute Before, Execute After, and Restart Compute r.

* All the * Yes * No radio boxes have been replaced with single checkboxes. * Added Exit buttons to all the config wizards. Still can click on the button again to toggle back to main display. * Fixed a bug with ReallyForce. When hit Exit, it would install everything that was checked, not just what was set as forced. * WPI now checks for a minimum version of useroptions.js. This is due to the changing of several option's names. The old file will have to be deleted and a new one saved. * WPI now checks for a minimum version of audio.js. Updated how the file is saved. The old file will have to be deleted and a new one saved. * WPI.hta now internally sets and deletes the Registry keys it needs to run properly. * WPI now internally changes the screen resolution, depth, and refresh rates. Added new gadgets to Options->Tools. * WPI now internally installs fonts needed for themes and system use. Added gadget to Options->Tools. * With the above updates, WPI.cmd is no longer necessary. Run WPI.hta direct. * Moved, and updated, the Audio Wizard from a stand-alone screen into the Options tabbed screen. This removes the Audio Player button from the main window. This also made saving the audio list much smaller so it fits inside useroptions.js. audio.js, audiowizard.js, and audiowuizardtemplate.htm have been deleted. * Added file requesters to all options that could use it. Had to "trick" the system into not showing the textbox associated with the button. The only draw-back is that the file requester is read only, so can't set a default path and if the user cancels a file selection, it uses the last known selection. So it will throw in a previous selection if hit Cancel. * Updated the config wizard a bit to line up the horizontal rule. Unfortunately, this required modifying wpi.htm in the themes folder, so.... * Config wizard now handles pictures better: sets defaults sizes and text locations. * The config editor now automatically replaces drive letters with %CDROM% to make it a bit easier for you. ex: C:\Install\Adobe.zip -> %CDROM%\Install\Adobe.zip

* The install window now has a style sheet associated with it in the Themes folder. Basic items like fonts and colors can be changed. WPI still controls the font size of the programs listing text. * By making the install window a normal window, the audio had to be removed and the old external audio player is used. * Added Extra Width and Extra Height gadgets to the Options -> Installer tab to increase the size of the install window if needed for longer text or larger fonts. The window does not resize automatically. Needed for localization. * Seperated all the Show Optional Buttons to their own option to show only what you want to see. * Added to Options -> Miscellaneous, Log Installation process. Useful for error checking of path names and such. * Re-arranged the Config wizard gadgets into a more logical order. * Added DELETE to the list of built-in commands. * If no install order specified then entries now start at 900,000 instead of 5,000 to allow for for category numbering. * When go into the Options or Config wizards, the Begin Install button is hidden so you are forced to save your work or toggle out before you can begin installing. * Fully themed the installer window via the style sheet installer.css. Images are now in the Themes folder: InstallBg.jpg, InstallProgBar.png, InstallSuccess.gif, InstallFail.gif, InstallPartial.gif * Added check boxes for Execute Before/After to disable them for testing purposes. * Split part of main.js code into core.js to have the basic routines available for installer.hta and wpi.hta in smaller chunks. Made each of those files smaller; removed redundant code. * Themed the count down timer. Uses InstallProgBar.png for the image. * Every text is now localized, with the exception of a few error messages.

* If the useroptions.js file does not exists, a set of default settings will be saved. * Updated config wizard to not bawk if there is not a config.js file. It will simply display a blank entry. ===============================================================================
