i use that too. but in cdshell menu options. i would like to separate the boot folders naming them with names i would find them easier in the root folder. but since you mentioned that it has to be hex edited, i remembered now that maybe it isn´t possible...

I want to know that cause if there is not, i could rename the folder to something i would find better. For instance, i use 3 differents types of install for XP, one personal, one for my girlfriend, one for customers. So i could rename PRO1 folder, to, let´s say, XPPersonal Is it possible?

so kof94, using this: "if $lastKey == key[f8]; then isolinux /casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=1048576 root=/dev/ram rw quiet splash --" in my cdshell.ini it would boot the setup for ubuntu? if yes, where must i put the ubuntu folder? AOIDVD\Ubuntu ?

would there be any problem if i put many AddReg and DelReg sections on the same file? I mean like this: [AddReg] (some reg entrie) [DelReg] (some entrie to be removed) [AddReg] (another reg entrie) [DelReg] (another entrie to be removed)

I got the rest, but in this example, why the hex values where replaced bu " "mmc /s ""%systemroot%\system32\services.msc""" ??

so "1" is used instead of "=hex", right? but what about the double slashes? what is that type of registry data?

ryan, thanks for the link, but that article is not available in my language, and there is many many techinical terms, and my english is not that fine to fully understand the whole thing out. can´t you help me out with this one? i just need to know how i complete the above entries, then i´m half way there! thanks. gugutz.

I´m doing some tests here, but need again some help: How do i complete this: HKCR,%MyComputer%\shell\services\command @=hex(2):25,00,77,00,69,00,6e,00,64,00,69,00,72,00,25,00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73, 00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,6d,00,6d,00,63,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00,;65,00,20,00,2f,00,73,00,20,00,25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52, 00,6f,00,6f,00,74,00,25,00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,;32,00,5c,00,73,00,65,00,72,00,76,00,69,00,63,00,65,00,73,00,2e,00,6d,00,73, 00,63,00,20,00,2f,00,73,00,00,00 I mean, @=hex(2) changes to what? And this: ; Adds Device Manager to right click of MY Computer HKLM,%MyComputer%\shell\DevMgr @="Device Manager" HKLM,%MyComputer%\shell\DevMgr\command @="mmc.exe %%SYSTEMDRIVE%%\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\devmgmt.msc" I think that values that have double back-slashes ( \\ ) are reg_binarry, is that right? Could someone complete the above conversions for me? For now, all i did was convert the main paths (HKLM,%MyComputer%\shell,DevMgr), and created some strings.

i am very sorry, but i search the link you gave me, and i didn´t find the link to download the deploy kit. do you have it?

hello? is anybody there?

I´m converting my RegTweaks Collection to the INF format, but there are some stones in my head: As it was in the original REG files, most of entires are imported to the registry. But some of them have to be removed. In REG files, i just used "[-" in front of the directory in the registry i with do delete. In inf files, i have to use DelReg, right? But since the collection has many tweaks in one single file, if i have many DelReg sections, when i call the INF file, won´t it get "confused" or something and might screw things up? What i mean is, let´s say i have this tweaks in a REG file: ; Speeds up copying/moving of zip files (disable windows built in zip functionality) [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.zip\CompressedFolder] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{E88DCCE0-B7B3-11d1-A9F0-00AA0060FA31}] [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CompressedFolder] ;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; Disable Windows Installer Rollback (faster msi installs, But some MSI installers, like .NET Framework, wont work with this tweak activated, caused all sorts of problems. Not Recommended) [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer] "DisableRollback",0x00010001,00000001 Converted to INF, it would be something like this: ; Speeds up copying/moving of zip files (disable windows built in zip functionality) [DelReg] HKCR,.zip\CompressedFolder HKCR,CLSID\{E88DCCE0-B7B3-11d1-A9F0-00AA0060FA31} HKLM,SOFTWARE\Classes\CompressedFolder ;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; Disable Windows Installer Rollback (faster msi installs, But some MSI installers, like .NET Framework, wont work with this tweak activated, caused all sorts of problems. Not Recommended) HKCU,Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer,"DisableRollback",0x00010001,00000001 Won´t it delete the things that are under the "DelReg" section, in wicth should not be deleted? If yes, then i will have to put an [AddReg] line in all keys that have to be imported? There isn´t a easier solution to solve my problem?

My father´s company uses a program that needs win98 to run, ´cause it´s not compatible with xp. So i format his company computer from time to time, and i´m planning to make an unattended install to make things easier for each time i´m going to make a new format. But i´m only used to make XP unattended installs. Can anybody help me by giving me links or saying right here how to i make a unattended install for Windows 98 SE? Witch files do i have to edit? Is it possible to make like XP, i mean making it install Hotfixes and apps after the install is completed, and things like that? I´m using XP right now, so i can´t download the hotfixes from MS windows update catalog, and i can´t download the files directly from MGDx´s page, ´cause my Win98Se is pt-br, not english. Is there any way that i can get the localized hotfixes in my language without having to install win98 to do it? Total lost now. I don´t know even where to begin. Since now, thanks for all the ones who helps. gugutz.

and what about the switchs for silent install for dotnet.exe (1.1) and the NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe (sp1 for .net 1.1)??? Do you have it. I don´t like have to extract to a folder.

but don´t 2.0 has all the components 1.1 has? i though so. So to be able to open all the applications ever made in the .net framework enviroment, i have to install 1.1sp1 and 3.0? If it is so, do you have the silent switch to install directly from the exe file without having to extract it?

niiiiiice, mhz. just one more question: do you guys think it´s worth it to include this package in our unatended cds, replacing the 2.0 version? Afterall, it´s 27mb more space used.

thanks, ricktendo64. gonna try those.

MS has released .NET Framework 3.0 I already downloaded the package (50mb), and i noted that now it´s a different package, the icon is like a Install Shield installer. The package is also extractable. Anyone know the silent switch without having to extract, using the .exe directly?

no one knows the answer to the above questions? and i have some more i´m converting my regtweaks collection from reg to inf. so there is values in the registry that have to be added, and other have to be deleted. In a inf file, i can delete registry entrie with the "DelReg" function. But in only one inf file, there will be tweaks for various types of things. Example: in my Internet-Networking.inf, there will be the [56k], [DSL], [Cable] and [LocalNetwork] subcategories. If i place some DelReg funcions under and related to each one of these main subcategories, won´t the inf confuse things out and, when i call a specific section of the inf file, like [56K], won´t it call the DelReg functions that are under the other categories too, like the one under [DSL]? if yes, then how do i solve this? isn´t there another way to exclude values in the registry different than DelReg? ´cause if there isn´t. then i´ll have to make a different inf file for each type of tweak, witch would break the purpose of using inf files for me.

yeah, i´m interested in that too, jazkal. but i i am not going to do is use a 800 mb img to use an enviroment that needs only 150 mb to full run. anyways, thanks for your replys.

Hi. I´m sorry if this is a repeated post, but i coundn´t find a related topic anywhere else, and in MSFN guide it points to a page that is offline. I want to make a DVD that, it it boots, it gives me an option to witch OS i want to install. And i want to put these OSs in my DVD: Windows XP with BTS Driver Packs integrated. Windows XP - a personal unattended one with my config files. Windows XP 64bit Windows 2003 Server WinPE 2.0 (or 2004, i don´t know yet witch is the latest version) Wndows 98 SE Ubuntu Linux 6.10 And an option to open applications like partition magic and others to manage discs and optical drives at the boot part. Is is possible to do? I was reading andregcasal post about making a Multi Boot DVD with XP and 2003 Server, but i found that too much complicated, and he didn´t cover the Win98se and Linux Ubuntu part. So if anyone could help me out with making this possible, i would really appreciate it. Wonder if there isn´t any program that would allow me to make a bootable DVD like the one i intend to do. Since now, thanks. gugutz.

but isnt WinPE supposed to be about 150 mb? how come this pack has 800 mb? I want only the 150 mb package to include in my Multiboot DVD. Is there a way to get it?

I have a friend who owns a K8N Asus Motherboard, and a Athlon 64 2800+ Processor, and he uses the 32bit version of WindowsXP ´cause he is affraid that maybe his aplications and games may not work on the 64bit Windows. Are there any known incompatibilities with apps and games? Witch precautions must he take? Is it worth it to use the x64 Windows, since he owns a 64 bit processor? And he will still be able to run his 32bit apps and stuff? Sorry for posting it here, but the guys on 64bit Forum don´t reply to my question... Since now, thanks for your help. greetings. gugutz.

i download the img file. it has 800 mb file size. how do i get only WinPE and delete the rest? where is WinPE in this img file? i searched but didn´t find any ISO or IMG file for WinPE

thanks, Yzöwl. but what is the difference between the two commands? why "rundll32.exe advpack,LaunchINFSection .\myinf.inf, SectionName" uses "advpack" and in "rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection SectionName 128 .\myinf.inf" it uses "setupapi" and this "128" number? Are there any vantages or disvantages of using one or other? and about calling the inf file from cmdlines.txt: my runonceex file installs too many progs, so i have to open new windows of RunOnceEx with the rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess command. When i used batch files to install apps via RunOnceEx, if i called RoE through cmdlines.txt, because my batch file contains that line, it caused the RunOnceEx windows to be launched right at T-12 of setup part, witch is when cmdlines.txt is executed. That´s why i have to begin to use the GuiRunOnce method to use my RunOnceEx.cmd. Won´t this happen as well if i use cmdlines to call my inf file, since my runonceex.inf will still have rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess lines to open new windows to installing apps and finishing the configuration? and to conclude: to call from runonceex.inf my other inf files, the procedure is the same? i mean: HKLM,%LMROEX%\050,,,"Configuring Services" HKLM,%LMROEX%\012,"1",,"%01%\rundll32.exe advpack,LaunchINFSection %Systemdrive%\apps\services.inf, DefaultInstall" would it be like this?
