Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI) 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. This 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.

    I think the download Link is broken:

    Lusono, you used the correct word and never even knew it. "Tool". P2P is a tool I and many others use and I think it's a wonderful one. I'm not lily white nor are most others but generally I believe we use it for good purposes.

    I take exception to you saying that P2P is pure pirate. I use LimeWire and uTorrent to download Linux distributions every day. I have an iTunes account that I use for music. Your analysis is narrow minded. By using uTorrent for downloading Linux, I am also able to help out my fellow Linux enthusiast by sharing 'pieces' of the download - which underscores the brotherhood of Open Source and assistance.

    On to WPI. I've used it - I like it. :-) Thank you for this program.

    lusono would you stop obsessing over p2p?

    WPI allows you to easily install many applications. You can choose which applications to install and/or add your own. For what it does WPI is very useful and its not meant to compete with or replace AutoPatcher.

    Just use AutoPatcher XP instead of this. This program doesn't seem to offer much to someone who already knows what few extras they might like to add to Windows, and it lists 2 file-sharing programs that are used almost exclusively just for stealing music, movies and software. I'm talking about E-Mule and LimeWire.

    CD and DVD recorders, BitTorrent programs, FTP programs and other technologies have good legitimate uses, but file-sharing, or P2P programs are almost entirely tools of theft. Windows Post-Install Wizard can be helpful to make some registry tweaks and add a few enhancements, but it's irresponsible to include the file-sharing programs. What's next? Programs for phishing, key generators and email spoofing?

    Windows Post-Install Wizard has a good looking interface, but it's better to use something like AutoPatcher XP to add tweaks and useful software, and it gives you Windows Updates.
