    Win2k and WPI

    in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)

    Posted

    It was the IE5 that comes with win2k. lol

    So I only can run WPI after I manually install IE6. So far so good except WPI hangs at the end of installation. WPI log shows no error. I have to restart the machine.

    It's all ok because this one is going to be deployed by sysprep only. :D

    Thanks for the hint.

    *how's the system treating ya?

    CMDLINES.TXT and Win2k

    Posted · Edited by larciel

    I have no idea why it doesn't work

    here's my cmdline.txt (edited to multi line)

    [COMMANDS]
    "ROE.exe 937"
    "REGEDIT /S regtv1.reg"
    "runonceex.cmd"
    "themes.cmd"

    ROE.exe is BTS's driverpacks finisher. and it's the only thing that runs in first logon

    @mhz, tried your edit but it still doesn't go ..

    AFAIK, W2K does not execute the RunOnceEx key at startup so you may need to invoke the action from the RunOnce key.

    Add the below commands to the end of your RunOnceEx.cmd and test it.

    SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
    REG ADD %KEY% /V "_RunOnceEx" /D "rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess" /f

    :)

    It's mind boggling, well at least very inconvenient doing win2k install after years of xp install.. I still like small footprint and snapiness of win2k over xp but this problem along with unable to do quick format in setup might deter me from setting up my home pc back to win2k as I do alot of reinstall.

    I'll test it today. I hope it works :)

    CMDLINES.TXT and Win2k

    I had multiple lines in cmdlines.txt because I copied to same file from my UAXP cd.

    After a searching I saw win2k setup might not support multi-line cmdlines so I just put 'runonceex.cmd'

    at t-13 stage, I see CMD window so runnonceex.cmd seems to be working, but none of the commands work after first logon.

    Here's my runnonce .. Can anyone point me in a right direction? Thanks

    SP3 v3311 slipstream error

    in nLite

    Posted

    *SOLVED*

    [Unattended]
    	UnattendMode=FullUnattended
    	FileSystem=*
    	Repartition=no
    	Unattendswitch="yes"
    	Waitforreboot="no"
    	OemSkipEula=Yes
    	TargetPath=\WINDOWS
    ;   OemPnPDriversPath = 
    	OemPreinstall= Yes

    I was playing with it and found out that OEMPNPDRIVERSPATH was left blank. What was ok with Sp2 wasn't so with sp3. Commented that line and it works fabulous. I think nobody will have same problem but wanted to give anyone a heads up.

    Thanks all

    vLite v1.1(.1) Final - Uptight as 7

    Posted

    larciel, I tried adding a 'Brother' printer and it is installed fine next to the Microsoft XPS Document. Do you have some more leads, maybe you integrate something or change from your preset. Oh and did you make your own SP1 or it's MS preintegrated?

    I do not have even XPS Document under printer window. I haven't changed anything and it's SP1 preintegrated. Will Try to play with it a more to pin-point the problem.

    Thanks for the help nuhi.

    This is a different question but after installing on a live system I get 'Spooler Subsystem had stopped working' Error. Also can't add printers.

    //nuhi: attach don't post your preset file

    Anybody have same prob? I googled and followed one advise where it says to enable "LPD, and other" in Printer System in Control Panel, still no go

    The first image I made was for Ultimate. Now I want to make a Home Premium one for my lappy and the 'Load Option' is greyed out and manually putting LastSessesion.ini file from old vlite session to new vista source folder doesn't help either. Anything I did wrong? or Do I have to check each boxes of removals everytime?

    Server 2008 over 2003

    in Windows Server

    Posted

    Our shop is thinking about using a central server system. Only has 15 PCs connected, but we need 2-3 domains and different accessability for each user.

    even though 2008 just came out, there were RCs that many people used. Could anyone recommend either 2008 or 2003 for my situation? Little bit of diggin got me some very good reviews for 2008 and recommendation over 2003, but I'd like to hear real users' feedback

    Tia!
