hi! do i put the Windows Script 5.6.8825 in svcpack.inf? i extracted the original svcpack.in_ from XP SP2's i386 folder and this is what i got: [Version] Signature="$Windows NT$" [SetupData] CatalogSubDir="i386\hotfixes" [ProductCatalogsToInstall] [SetupHotfixesToRun] compared to the svcpack.inf of SP1: [Version] Signature="$Windows NT$" MajorVersion=5 MinorVersion=1 BuildNumber=2600 [SetupData] CatalogSubDir="\i386\Update" [ProductCatalogsToInstall] KB826939.cat [SetupHotfixesToRun] update.exe -q -n js56nen.exe /Q:A /R:N Q330994.exe /Q:A /R:N Q816093.exe /Q:A /R:N Q823182.exe /Q /O /N /Z Q823353.exe /Q:A /R:N Q824105.exe /Q /O /N /Z Q824141.exe /Q /O /N /Z Q825119.exe /Q /O /N /Z Q828035.exe /Q /O /N /Z Q828028.exe /Q /O /N /Z Q828741.exe /Q /O /N /Z Q832353.exe /Q /O /N /Z Q831167.exe /Q:A /R:N Q835732.exe /Q /O /N /Z Q837001.exe /Q /O /N /Z Q837251.exe /Q:A /R:N Q839645.exe /Q /O /N /Z Q840315.exe /Q /O /N /Z Q840374.exe /Q /O /N /Z Q841873.exe /Q /O /N /Z Q842773.exe /Q /O /N /Z Q867801.exe /Q:A /R:N WMP9MM2.exe Q828026.exe /Q /O /N /Z DX9NTopk.exe qchain.exe if i make changes to the svcpack.inf to include Script 5.6, then it should be this: [Version] Signature="$Windows NT$" [SetupData] CatalogSubDir="i386\Update" [ProductCatalogsToInstall] [SetupHotfixesToRun] script8825.exe /Q:A /R:N qchain.exe correct me if i'm wrong?

it's not the SATA drives, but the chipset supporting it ... i guessed that you're most probably using Intel-based chipset that support SATA .. maybe that's why it auto-detected your SATA drives (after identifying your chipset) before installation ... but, non-supported chipsets will require you to insert your drivers (F6) prior to setting up ... else, it won't recognize your SATA drives!

Stuntgp2000, your latest version is working fine now don't feel so guilty 'bout this, your tweak files are not critical .. just hide/show components in Add/Remove luckily it can be undo, correctly now ... p/s: i used it earlier because the subject stated 'Cure: Bored of endless KBs in your Add-Remove soft', which i think is misleading ... LOL ... your tweak actaully hide ALL of the entries, not just those KBs ... maybe u might want to change the title ... hehehe ... anyways .... thanks for the tweaks!!!

well, the good news is that the "HideInstalledComponents.exe" is working fine ... BUT, the "ShowInstalledComponents.exe" is NOT! now my Add/Remove Programs just showed 1 program installed, i cannot revert back to the previous settings/views be careful when u're using this ...

the code from the SDK is fine... just that there's a special attention on the quotes when used in RunOnceEx.cmd here's from MSFN's Unattended XP CD: http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/runonceex.htm Working fine after installed through VMware

are you sure with the command lines? it seems that there is a missing quote (") in there, and you need to put (\") for every quotes used here.

fyi, independently (without nlite and others), both -s and /integrate works.

thx ... crahak's tip concerning extracting the MSI files from the EXE ... well, i just wanted to try the new method

just wanna share my experience slipstreaming SP2 i have many problems and solved many since performing unattended for XP SP1 ... MSFN's a great site to be in your Favorites! slipstreaming SP2, on the other hand, is tricky, especially if you have svcpack.inf in your compilation. removing svcpack.inf enabled you to slipstream SP2 ..... but .... soon you'll get ntfs.sys is corrupted during setup. after digging out my XP Corp. CD somewhere in my collection, i slipstreamed SP2 immediately onto it (bypassing SP1) ... now i'm using VMware to perform a trial run on this new compilation BTW, REMEMBER to copy our your winnt.sif (that's the unattended script file created by the setupmgr.exe in deploy.cab) ... you can reuse winnt.sif created from SP1/RU1 compilation ... it's independent to the version (luckily!) ... good luck on your slipstreaming! *waiting patiently for MSFN's official SP2 thread and complete guide!!!* n-joy!

i wanted to use this on my RunOnceEx: REG ADD %KEY%\025 /VE /D "Adobe Acrobat Reader v6.0.2 CE Full" /f REG ADD %KEY%\025 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\AdobeReader602\AR602.exe -p"-s /v\"/qn\""" /f but, i get confused with the quotes (") since i need to use (\") for every quotes in there ... plz help

hmmm, i thought there's a way to automatically extract+execute thanks!

anyway to shed some lights on how to automatically, silently, extract the package so that i can run "dxsetup.exe /silent"? i've tried numerous methods but it will just extract but not extract+execute dxsetup.exe .... here's what i did:

yes, it's there, but superseded by KB870765 ... More info on KB870765 ...

post SP1 hotfix/update: Update for Outlook 2003: Junk E-mail Filter (KB870765) @ http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en

i have the All-In-One maker, released by somebody ... this will 'compile' all the 5 CDs -> 1 CD ... but, the files total up to ~2MB, so i can't find a way for you to get it ...

Aaron, my svcpack.inf contain this: do i need this line? -> update.exe -q -n your svcpack.inf doesn't contain this though. just wondering if it's needed thanks!

New update for IE SP1: Update for Internet Explorer 6 SP1 - Internet Explorer Does Not Correctly Decompress Data with GZIP Data Compression Method (837251) Download: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&DisplayLang=en KB: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=837251

yes, 832353 needed to be run AFTER 828026 here's my svcpack.inf for your reference: my cd is fine, except this pesky 837272 gonna try a new compilation =)

just curious: what's the command syntax and the location to put it?

does this line, "SuperHidden"=dword:00000000 should be '0' or '1'?

Try this page ... http://unattended.msfn.org/ this is MSFN's Guide to make Unattended XP CD ... i followed it and finally made my CD ... of course through the 'old' layout, which was hard to navigate =) thanks for the new page layout!!!! about time eh!!

k, i'm quite curious on this tweak: if i use any new MS keyboard, this tweak will work ... but if use any other generic keyboard, it will not work however, if i turn this off, the problem will be reversed i can't press F2 when using normal keyboard for renaming files ... after turned this off, i somehow figured that this tweak actually 'tweaked' the whole F-keys scan code ... which may explain why it 'turn on' universally regardless of keyboards ... anybody encounter this problem?

redsfotografie, here's my thoughts: i too encountered problem installing Unattended XP after being compiled and burned onto CDR. try burn it at lower speed than the max speed of the drive (e.g. 52X drive -> 48X burn). this might help to properly burn the CD. try not to overclock your system, especially FSB. this will too causes XP to get BSOD (Blue Screen of Death). both situation i encountered before, but now it's ok cheers!

yes, i'm facing this problem too. ... No OE there, but only a small blank space (presumably for OE) ... since OE is not removed in winnt.sif, the icon suppose to be in there. only when u manually remove OE using Add/Remove Programs will remove bthe icon in QuickLaunch. anybody figured out where's OE missing to? btw, thanks for this thread!
