try changing the directory in witch windows would be installed when you run winnt32.exe /noreboot. Try choosing one that is not \WINDOWS and about the seconde question, is your cdshell.ini in the same folder where is cdshell? If not, try to moving it to the cdshell folder, it might work.

ppl who use xplode? anybody?

Try downloading my regtweaks here : http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=85466 It has a reg file that adjusts Visual Effects. You have the option to disable the whole stuff with it.

Hi chr0nz. Are u trying to jump that first screen where you create users and set up firewall and auto-updates, or do you want that screen to be shown? Are you using UnattendSwitch="no" under the [unattended] entrie in your winnt.sif? If yes, try to remove the UnattendSwitch line to see if it works. I integrated WMP11 and IE7, but i use "Yes" in UnattendSwitch, and it´s working fine. Try to do what i told, and let me know if it worked.

Hi, pollo. Welcome to MSFN. RunOnceEX and GuiRunOnce are not the same thing. RunOnceEX is the way you install your applications using silent switches to do it automatically. GuiRunOnce is an entrie in the winnt.sif file that runs a command when you do your first logon. People use GuiRunOnce to get RunOnceEX running at first logon. To do this, open your winnt.sif and under the [GuiRunOnce] entrie, type this: [GuiRunOnce] Command0 = "%systemdrive%\install\RunOnceEX.cmd" Your RunOnceEX.cmd must be in the "$OEM$\$1\install\" for this to work. There is also other ways to install your apps, like XPlode, Windows Post-Install Wizard and others. If you just begun, try to first master RunOnceEX, then jump to another one. If you have any other questions, feel free to post it here. Good luck.

I am making a xml to be used with XPlode 4 I noticed that in each <execute> tag, XPlode offers diferent configs for it. like in: What is the difference between each one? Anyone know? For now i´m using all 4 in each <execute> line.

I made my multiboot dvd following flyakite´s guide. So i have a PRO2 folder, that is my unattended setup for WinXP SP2. I´ve been nLiting my setup sources, and when i remove components i get many copy errors during setup. So only now i figured it might be that the setup is reading the list of files to copy from txtsetup.sif in PRO2 folder, witch is a original unmodified file from a clean source. But i though that this txtsetup.sif was only to indicate the source from where the setup should copy the files. But the list is made from this file, and not from the one in the source. So everytime i modify a source, i have to copy over txtsetup.sif from the source to PRO2, and change the [setupSourceFiles] line? Isn´t there another solution, like getting the setup to use directly the txtsetup.sif from the source folder?

any news? i´m having the same problem here with my Corporate CD. i´m also having those "framedyn.dll" and "srclient.dll" problem. I´m almost sure is some of the new hotfixes that is causing my problems. has anyone tried to first integrate IE7 and then open nlite again and integrate the hotfixes?

i don´t know about that anymore, Camarade. Do you think it would be a good idea?

oh, didn´t see that. guess i was wrong. Try doing that: In you winnt.sif, under [GuiUnattended], put this: ProfilesDir="C:\Profiles" Then try this in the reg file: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ;Change location of my documents [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders] "Personal"="%USERPROFILE%\\Mijn Documenten" "My Video"="%USERPROFILE%\\Mijn Video's" "My Music"="%USERPROFILE%\\Mijn Muziek" "My Pictures"="%USERPROFILE%\\Mijn Afbeeldingen" "Favourites"="%USERPROFILE%\\Favorieten" "Desktop"="%USERPROFILE%\\Bureaulblad" That way it might work.

hi there, scaniafreak. Try to import the tweaks using also RunOnceEx. Some tweaks do not fix using only cmdlines, i don´t know why that happens. And about the profiles, try using the ProfilesDir entrie under [GuiUnattended] on your winnt.sif to change the location of documents and settings folder, then change the reg tweak according to the folder you choose in winnt.sif. And if you´re interested, i updated the tweaks collection. It now has a "essentials" folder with tweaks only for an unattended setup. Check the topic to download the file. Hope this helps. Cheers. gugutz

hei guys. i updated the collection. check out the first post.

Kiki Burgh, thanks for replying. I´ve been reading somethings, and everything indicates that actually is xpize that is doing this. And the problem stopped when i just uninstalled XPize and did nothing else. Even ppl from the forum topic you posted got to this conclusion. I understand that XPize modifies system files in order to run. Even if it doest not modify these specific files, i believe it does something that could change the way those files acts on the system. I´m gonna make some tests integrating xpize (not installing it like i was doing) before integrating hotfixes, and i´ll post the results here later. Cheers. gugutz

It is the fourth time i finish installing windows using my unattended multiboot dvd, and i always have these problems. In my RunOnceEx.cmd i have some lines that calls taskkill to kill some apps that opens right after they get installed. But now when the taskkill command is called from the batch file, appears a box saying the operation could not be done ´cause it could not find "framedyn.dll". So when RunOnceEx finishes its job, right at the first login, the computer restarts before . I have to reboot and use Safe Mode to be able to use my pc. I wasn´t aware of what was causing it, but i just finished another installation, and got the same error, so i uninstalled XPize and the pc boots fine. I don´t know why this now... i always used XPize and this never happened. i´ll try to figure this out later. But right now i have this "framedyn.dll" and "srclient.dll" files problem. Maybe it is because of these files that XPize was rebooting my pc. I made a search for this files in my other computer with xp installed, but found nothing. Anybody knows these files or what they do? Why i´m getting this problem at first login, but when windows is installing i get no file transfer error problem? Since now, thanks. gugutz.

that´s the idea, cumminbk. Some tweaks that are applied at T-13 with cmdlines does not "stay" ´cause at first logon Windows sets a few things up based on the winnt.sif file, so a "2º import" becomes necessary. But i´ll specify that on a readme file. I already compiled this new unattended collection, but it is on my language. I will translate it to english and open a new topic about it as soon as it becomes ready. BTW: A very nice new year to everybody!

as you requested, MGadAllah, the attachment is at the 1º message again. I want to ask you guys something: would you like a compiled version of ONLY tweaks for an unattended setup? I mean, this sets of tweaks includes kind of "all-possible-tweaks" under XP. But i´m thinking of making something more "unattended" like, something you could just add a line to you cmdlines.txt to get you xp filled with really essential tweaks, like NTFS speeding up, other performance stuff, and things like that. This way you wouldnt have to look inside the files to remove millions of things you don´t like, and tweaks that only have a porpuse in a very special circumstance, like Legal Notice Caption before users log on (who uses that?) What about it?

but i checked the VM Hard Drive, and it´s 2 gb! won´t this thing delete any data of my real hd?

Im using a Virtual Machine for the first time to make a test on a new uxp cd i´m making. I used to format my hd in every test i made, but circumstances won´t allow me to do that now.. Now, i loaded the ISO file into the Virtual Machine (I´m using MS Virtual PC 2004), and i got to the part of creating a partition to install the System on it. But the virtual machine show a 16 gb disc with no partitions on it, but with all my hds together i don´t have even 5 gb of free space. So how come it shows a 16 gb disc at virtual PC? Should i be worried?

found it. guess i didn´t googled enought. sorry for the useless post.

I like using 7-zip, but it doesn´t have the ability to create SFX files, so i have to let winrar installed just for it. I was wondering is there is any plugin (preferrable an Official one) that can create SFX files with 7-zip and giving the option to use 7-zip´s Ultra LZMA compression. Anyone knows one?

so all i need is to download that .cab file and integrate it with, say, nLite? Player Player and Shockwave player i can throw away?

It is supposed to play flash files, right? So i put it in my RunOnceEx.cmd, it is installed unattendly, i even install Shockwave player, but when i enter a page that has a flash file, firefox says i need some plugins installed in order to view that page correctly. So firefox installs flash player, even i having it installed already. So what is the diference between the three: Flash player, shockwave player and flash player activex? I found this link: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwa...ash/swflash.cab It is for Adobe Flash Player 9 ActiveX. If i install this thing, then i don´t need to install the "regular" flash player neither showckwave player??

Hi. The ICQ 6 Preview version was released a while ago, and since i´m a long-time ICQ fan, i would like to try this new version, but the register period is over, so i need an invite now. Anyone has 1 to give me? My UIN is 82072557

i don´t think this way would be very "pratical". why the need to install a service? so i can go on and disable it? i preffer to stick with apps that doens´t install things that i need to manually remove later.

@just laze, you are using the right tweaks. are u applying them with cmdlines.txt?
