With AutoIt you can automatise associations without any problem without Send function (simulate key press ...) Just use function "ControlClick" and all can be done ... I have just tested 4.3 and yes now 7zip is intelligent to check assocations but it will recreate FM subkey for nothing ...

Hi All in the image ^^ Thx

You can't use regedit /s *.reg ... You can use multi pn[n] lines in config.js in WPI: prog[pn]=['Reg tweaks for examples ...'] uid[pn]=['TWEAKS'] cmd1[pn]=['regedit /s %cdrom%\\Tweak1.reg'] cmd2[pn]=['regedit /s %cdrom%\\Tweak2.reg'] dflt[pn]=['yes'] cat[pn]=['Tweaks'] pn++ If you have many many regfile, prefer use a batch file with this code cd /d "%~dp0" for /f %%a in ('dir /b /s *.reg') do start /wait "" "regedit" /s %%a

Normally icon is on cd but perhaps you can set icon=C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,0 but if windows isn't windows xp, maybe the icon will be wrong ...

OH OKAY !!! It's easy, YOU CAN'T AUTOMATISE UPGRADE MODE OF WINDOWS XP !!! It's the main rule of the unattend world ^^ Goodbye.

I have an error I install Win98SE I install Internet Explorer 6 SP1 (build 2800) without reboot I install SP2.1 without reboot I reboot manually And I have this after RunOnceEx I have just swap ther order : I install Win98SE I install SP2.1 without reboot I install Internet Explorer 6 SP1 (build 2800) without reboot I reboot manually And it works ... But I think SP2.1 isn't fully installed/updated windows no ? Note, I'm newbie about windows 98, and if I reboot between SP2 & IE6 there isn't problem, perhaps it's a fundamental law

Just to clean your batch, excuse me I hate the words which are used for nothing ^^ %CDROM%\i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons Delete md %systemroot%\Source\i386 Instead use this xcopy /Y /E /H %CDROM%\i386 %systemroot%\Source\i386\ /S

Okay simply add a file named WinNT.sif in you I386 with these inside : [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended [UserData] ProductKey=x I havn't tested this minimal winnt.sif but normallly it will works with avertissements errors because of incomplete info about other settings but it's okay for installation ... I have a full unattented mode to do nothing to install windows ... with wrong key to allow to change the key by the one on the sticker of my clients ... I have checked ref.chm and UnattendMode=ProvideDefault will work too normally ...

You can use fedit.exe used by bash for his driver packs ... get examples with driver pack ... It's seems same this : Fedit -add -create -f Folder\File.ext -a IamALineAddThisAfterMe " IamNewLineAfterOther""

If you have a legit key it's normal it doesn't work on your winxp iso with already a key in it, because regular key doesn't work with pir*ted downloaded cd !

Thanks WebMatze ! I'm testing on VmWare, silent install works too ... Merci l'ami

You can't. You must no specify the key in Winnt/sif (or your unattented file) and setup will ask you the correct key (an error will show up too but it's not a problem ...) or you can enter a wrong key and setup will ask you to correct it ... Goodbye.

I don't know anything from russia, but "that's readily accepted by MS" wants to say it's accepted by Windows Product Activation ?!

Batch mode ... del /f /q /s %SystemRoot%\*.log del /f /q /s %SystemRoot%\*.bak del /f /q /s %SystemRoot%\system32\$winnt$.inf del /f /q /s %SystemRoot%\setuplog.txt del /f /q /s %SystemRoot%\system32\wbem\Logs\*.log del /f /q /s %SystemRoot%\Debug\*.log del /f /q /s %SystemRoot%\security\logs\*.log del /f /q /s %SystemRoot%\ntbtlog.txt del /f /q /s %SystemRoot%\OEWABLog.txt del /f /q /s %SystemRoot%\Debug\UserMode\userenv.log

I think it's impossible to install windows onto ntfs drive ... otherwise you can read ntfs disk other than system disk with NTFSReader ...

For me, I use Avast Pro version witha free edition key, it allow to create a full option for admin.ini ... Install avast in manual mode ... set your options and co. ... and in advanced interface of avast you can choose create answer file .. it will generate Admin.ini and you can edit it to change the key if you want or other options ... Mine is : [Admin] SilentInstallation=1 VerySilentInstallation=0 Reboot=no Serial=myfree-editionkey [Languages.ini] 040C=French Engine=1036 [Common.ini] VPSUpdate=Automatic ProgramUpdate=Automatic [UserInterface.ini] EnableSkins=0 SplashTestMemory=0 StartWithSkin=0 [AAVM.ini] SuppressUpdatedInfo=1 SuppressUpdateErrorInfo=1 AnimateIcon=0 [VRDB.ini] MergeIcons=1 Disabled=1 [iAVS.ini] RunningMode=Silent Progress=0 TrayIcon=1 AskReboot=0 Push=0 AddInfo=1 [Quick.ini] EnableSkins=0 [Simple.ini] ShowHelpCheckList=1 [Splash.ini] KeyUsage=1 [Groups.setupini] Group1=av_pro_core Group2=av_pro_corepro Group3=av_pro_coreskins Group4=av_pro_corewnt Group5=av_pro_dll_fre Group6=av_pro_hlp_fre Group7=av_pro_rdr Group8=av_pro_res_mai Group9=av_pro_res_ns Group10=av_pro_res_scr Group11=av_pro_res_std Group12=av_pro_res_ws Group13=av_pro_sysx Group14=avscan Group15=winsys Group16=winsysgui Group17=

hmm, I don't think it's easy !!! you must buy a sort of "concentrators" and there are very expensive if they exist & if they work ...

why not just activate "Always use this connection" options in Internet Options in Control Panel ? And when any applications want to access to the web the connexion run automatically ... you can check "Auto-connecting" to not confirm the autoconnexion ... sorry for my englosh .. I'm french ... Goodbye.

Yes it's OEAccess = off ...

Just to inform it doesn't work ! I have just checked today, and my professionnal key doesn't work on a regular windows xp home ++

Simply enter these into corresponding CDROM if doesn't work it's not the key for the CD ^^ , but if a program exist to check that great to know ... Goodluck.

@JPLC: I have made by hand the reg because it's easy to make associations with other programs (but it's long to complete all but works) , after I have checked registry options of 7-Zip and I have seen there are keys to inform 7Zip if associations are set to itself or not ... If I cannot find the registry for other tweaks/apps I use RegMon from www.sysinternals.com (lot of free utilities very very powerful !)

Yes UnAttend.txt is just an example ... sometimes it used in command line winnt32.exe /u:Unattend.txt ... but you can use winnt32.exe /u:winnt.sif Goodbye

Windows XP stores information about IP & DHCP in registry in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\{B8088F46-3AD1-4CE3-A0AD-6BC9C1E6DB54}\Parameters\Tcpip] The CLSID can be diffrent from me perhaps ...

networkshare ?! Host system has an IP for example 192.168.0.1 Guest IP has a Bridged network connection (configure your vmware machine to do that), and after guest system has OS installed you have an IP like 192.168.0.2 ... after simply to use network same as real network ...
