If I remember pbk doesn't save logins/pass (credentials) of the connection ...

You compress/cab any file to file.ex_ with this util http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=80717 It use makecab command to compress files, the same method as files on winxp cd.

ipconfig works great if only one connection is etablished ... If there is two or more connections, there are more IP, more complicated to treat ... But you can pickup just the ip begin with 192.168. for example : @echo off for /f "tokens=2 delims=:" %%? in ('ipconfig^|find "Adresse IP"^|find "192.168."') do set ip=%%? set ip=%ip:~1% echo IP : %ip% pause edit: Replace "Adresse IP" by your language, try ipconfig and look the text ... (Adresse IP is for French version)

Thanks for the tip.

Yes WPI.hta run fine. But RunOnceEx isn't executed in fact. Can you confirm with WPI 1.2 lite or WPI < 5.5 ? edit: it seems a known issue, ie7 seems to break RunOnceEx ... edit2: To fix issue, we can pik up "iernonce.dll" from IE6 (thx to theunknown)

Does anyone has problem with IE7 installed on system, and running WPI Lite 1.2 ? For me, when I click on Continue, .hta exist but nothing is done ... I have tested the same WPI in virtual machine with IE6 it's ok, I have installed IE7 and re-run IE7 and nothing done after "Continue".

To prompt question : @echo off echo Name ? set /p variable1= echo You have entered : %variable1% pause

Oembios files method is ONLY for OEM based computers. A motherboard isn't sell with Microsoft Windows, isn't it ?! Do not try to h*ck the dmi, discussion about that will be banned.

start /wait "Title of CMD" "%systemdrive%\XPCD\APPS\Office2003\Setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Office.MST /qb-" If you use path with spaces you must use the first "" as title of windows. After you can use other "" for the path.

Try to delete INFCACHE.1 and *.pnf from C:\Windows\inf.

IMHO, KB925672 is for XML Core Service 4.0 (which isn't an update of 3.0) and which isn't in WinXP SP2. KB924191 is for XML Core Service 3.0 which is in WinXP SP2. It's same way as .NET FrameWork. The 2.0 .NET FrameWork isn't an update of the 1.1 .NET FrameWork. A patch for .NET FrameWork 2.0 is only for the 2.0. For 1.1 .NET FrameWork there are other updates. I hope you understant what I think ...

You've installed other Microsoft Product before update, isn't it ?

If a key is present, it's in Winnt.sif (OEM cd with pre-activation for examples ...) but Genuine CD hasn't any key in CD.

You just need the Microsoft XML Parser 2.6 (KB924191). Others are for other Core Services which aren't present on fresh windows xp sp2 by default.

You can use RegeditPE https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.p...group_id=107708. It's free, it's just an executable. It's for PE environment, but run great on standard winxp system. Load hives from the other disk then edit your needs and when you exit the program, hives are updated.

This is AD1980 chip. You can search on asus website to download drivers. Direct link : http://dlsvr01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/misc/audi...80/WDM_3663.zip

I don't have experience with sysprep, but can you run silent install of the hotfixe before installing drivers ?

This update is packaged with audio drivers normally ... When you will install audio driver, the hotfixe will be installed too.

Copy content of a retail CD of xp pro (ask to a friend) and replace OEMbios files to re-make your cd. There is a repository of several brands here http://rapidshare.de/users/LWN7M8

Genuine Microsoft CD is SP2 only, no hotfixes integrated. If it's OEM CD, check if svcpack folder exist and if files are present inside there are hotfixes ... You can splitstream post-sp2 hotfixes over an existing sp2 (with hotfixes too) splitstreamed CD ...

@nokiakiller: You must pickup oembios files from a genuine dell cd. From other brands that doesn't work !

- Copy content of your retail sp2 cd to a folder - Copy OEMBIOS files / setupp.ini / pidgen.dll /dpcdll.dll from original dell cd source (cabbed version) to the same folder - Reburn the new folder : it's your new winxp cd and don't forget bootsectors to make cd bootable. This CD will accept your dell key and activation will be based on bios detection so no activation by internet or phone needed.

but check version of Windows XP, Schtasks doesn't work in Windows XP Home Edition.

I had this problem when I tried nLite (old buids). Now I make my cd manually and doesn't have this problem. Wait for an experimented nlite user. It's more for nlite section forum ...
