Small tip : Untill nuhi fixes the tweak : 'Explorer > Preset Places Bar to > C:, D:, E:, Desktop, My Network Places', then add the following reg entry into your post-install reg file : [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ComDlg32\Placesbar] "Place4"=dword:00000012 nLite itself sets the entry to 'My Recent Documents' instead of 'My Network Places' : [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ComDlg32\Placesbar] "Place4"=dword:00000008

Yes, nLite only activates that tweak whenever you have selected to remove IE and i have also reported this to him for about 2 month ago. Untill nuhi gets this fixed, then add this command-line to your post-install batch file or nLite's 'RunOnce' section : del "%allusersprofile%\Start Menu\Windows Catalog.lnk"

For me it works perfect for both Firefox and Thunderbird. Adding '& ping localhost' sets a pause of 4 seconds in between each xpi installation and is exactly the same as using e.g. 'sleep.exe' or some other comparabel tool with a 4 second setting in between each xpi install, but just saves you the space off adding an extra tool to the SFX installer. I first tried with '& ping -n 1 localhost' and it didn't work. Then again with '& ping -n 2 localhost' and still not working. Then '& ping -n 3 localhost' and still nothing. Then finally with '& ping localhost' it worked and for both Firefox and Thunderbird('& ping -n 4 localhost' is the same as '& ping localhost'). I have made about 20 installs of Firefox and Thunderbird by now with '& ping localhost' and had success with every single installation. Have you removed the 'Command-line tools' component with nLite without defining 'ping.exe' to be saved i.e. can you run 'ping localhost' from a command-prompt without getting an error message ? Sorry for the off-topic'ness

I personally install Foxit Reader and it's plugins from a batch file in a 7z SFX installer. The file associations aren't set before you run Foxit Reader once, so i enable them during the install. Also i add some other reg entries to disable the adds shown in the upper right corner and also hides the big bookmark panel which blocks a big part of the screen. Please note that the reg entries contains fixed paths for where i am personally installing Foxit Reader : 'C:\Program Files\Foxit Reader\', and so if you preffer something else, then you need to change it accordingly.

I'm very sorry, legolash2o I have also just tested it and it also worked fine for me with atleast two installed updates. It seems that it isn't mandatory always, but that there can come problems at times if it isn't enabled : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822798 I got that link from TweakHound's XP-SP2 tweaking guide, where under it's services section, it states under "Cryptographic Services" : "Windows Update errors may occur if this is disabled", and then lists the above link. Source : http://tweakhound.com/xp/xptweaks/supertweaks6.htm Again, sorry about that, mate

Since this is an anti-virus software thread, then what do you think NOD32 is... A defragger maybe For the future, then please use google instead of asking questions like that... Edit: Doh! Sorry guys, i was at the end of the second-last page and thought that it was the last page, but which i now see that it wasen't and hence, that i was way to late with my comments Hmm, pretty embarissing and ironic to go and correct other peoples mistakes while at the same time making mistakes myself

...But only if the person isn't using Windows(/Microsoft) Update, though.

Personally, then i would recommend to always use an unmodified source so as to eliminate any possible problems that could arise, and then to of course load the 'Last Session.ini' from the previous session and make the needed changes. The nLite processing will take longer by doing this, but atleast i have never seen the problems which you describe, so for me it is defenetly worth the extra bit of time spent on making sure that as few things as possible has a chance of going wrong in the end. Personally, then i do not even re-integrate an update pack(XUDPack) over the top of a previous version, and the first thing i always do before starting nLite, is to place a copy of my un-modified 'WinXP_Pro_SP2_Corp' folder on my 'D:\Temp\' folder, which i then point nLite to, later on. For me, then starting fresh each time makes me feel the most secure and you can always just go take a nap or something for the extra bit of waiting time spend...

@DL. Indeed, mate Btw, please don't think that i was trying to educate you about this, since i allready knew that you where perfectly aware of this, since you had added double-quotes around "gold source" in your post, to hint that it wasen't accurately used in that context, and so my explenation where rather directed towards the thread starter CU, Martin.

Just for the record, then WinXP SP2 is also a gold release, as the term simply refers to a final version and is the same as the term RTM(release to manufacturing). The term gold refers to the master gold disc which is sent to disc manufacturers for mass-production of retail copies. Just an FYI

Come on, man! You've gotten some helpfull tips and solutions to work with, so please don't be so lazy that you do not even care to atleast spend a few minuttes of your time to try them out and then to come back if having further troubles. We are more than happy to help out here, but please don't expect to get everything served on a plater for you...

@nuhi As i didn't get a "Noted, - thanks" kinda message from you when i last reported this bug, then i will post it again here, so as to make sure that you will get to see it, if you maybe should have missed it the first time around(of course i should have posted it here in the beta thread in the first place). When enabling the following tweak in nLite v1.4b : 'Explorer' > 'Preset Places Bar to' > 'C:, D:, E:, Desktop, My Network Places'. Then after installation the places bar is preset to : 'C:, D:, E:, Desktop, My Recent Documents'. CU, Martin.

I have all the mandatory reg entries in place under : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows XP\SP3 - Then why does qfecheck.exe report no updates installed ? I actually wouldn't have believed that a component removal could have any effect on this app whatsoever, but i guess i was proved wrong, then, as i can't see what else should have caused it... Any help would be greatly appreciated as it's a very big task to troubleshoot when having removed pretty much(118MB ISO). I have done many tests to make sure that all my needed apps did work right, but somehow i forgot about qfecheck and although i actually only use it very rarely, then i still would like it to work on my system for whenever i suddently want to use it again. Thank's in advance. Edit: Sorry, i forgot to include the 'Last Session.ini'. Last_Session.ini

I personally just use XP's own 'Windows Picture and Fax Viever', which i like because it simply does what it does, period(i.e. to show pictures and nothing else) and isn't overly complex and filled with options i have no use for. I kinda feel the same way about that, as i feel about notepad.exe, which i also dosen't replace with something more advanced. I have previously thought about removing the built-in tool with nLite and to instead install a free alternative like IrfanView, but i figured that i didn't have any use for all those extra features at all, and that if i would switch to something else, then i would go from a single 428KB registered dll to a several MB package instead and when you then think about that i only use it to load pictures at occasions and dosen't do any editing or converting or anything like that, then i figured that i would just stick with the built-in tool afterall. Granted, for ppl that have bigger needs than myself, then i can easilly see how something like IrfanView makes perfect sence But just not for me... Anyway, that was just my two cents

The QuickSFV v2.34 installer dosen't support silent installation. Then AutoIt can be one solution, but i personally preffer to just install the app through a batch file in a 7z sfx installer. If you would like to do the same, then here follows the needed directions : Needed files for the app to run(no 'regsvr32' needed) : QuickSFV.EXE QSFVShll.dll Reg file which sets all supported file type associations(sfv, md5, par etc.) and adds the context-menues : Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ShellCompatibility\Objects\{906b0e6e-61ce-11d3-8ee2-0060080a7242}] "CTXMENU_NOVERBS"="" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Approved] "{906b0e6e-61ce-11d3-8ee2-0060080a7242}"="QuickSFV Shell Extension" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\QuickSFV Shell Extension] @="{906b0e6e-61ce-11d3-8ee2-0060080a7242}" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{906b0e6e-61ce-11d3-8ee2-0060080a7242}] @="QuickSFV Shell Extension" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{906b0e6e-61ce-11d3-8ee2-0060080a7242}\InProcServer32] "ThreadingModel"="Apartment" @="C:\\Program Files\\QuickSFV\\QSFVShll.dll" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.csv] @="File_Verification_Database" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\QuickSFV Shell Extension] @="{906b0e6e-61ce-11d3-8ee2-0060080a7242}" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.CKZ] @="File_Verification_Database" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.CRC] @="File_Verification_Database" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.SFV] @="File_Verification_Database" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.PAR] @="File_Verification_Database" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.MD5] @="File_Verification_Database" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\File_Verification_Database] @="File Verification Database" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\File_Verification_Database\Shell] @="open" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\File_Verification_Database\Shell\verify_all] @="&Verify All" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\File_Verification_Database\Shell\verify_all\command] @="C:\\Program Files\\QuickSFV\\QuickSFV.EXE DOALL \"%1\"" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\File_Verification_Database\Shell\open] @="&Open" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\File_Verification_Database\Shell\open\command] @="C:\\Program Files\\QuickSFV\\QuickSFV.EXE \"%1\"" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\File_Verification_Database\DefaultIcon] @="C:\\Program Files\\QuickSFV\\QuickSFV.EXE,0" Note: The reg file includes fixed paths for %programfiles%, so if you're using a localized Windows version, then you'll have to change them accordingly.

I have no interrest in Ad-aware myself, but i have just downloaded the trial and first tried with '/S' and then when the msiexec window popped up i knew that it was installed from %temp% with an msi installer, and so you can use '/qn'(completely silent) or '/qb'(progress dialog shown). Edit: Beaten by ricktendo64 @iceangel89 PS: You can do 'Win+R > %temp%' to locate the msi installer while you're having the original installer launched and waiting.

On my end, then nLite v1.4b sets the reg key as it should, when enabling that tweak...

It's two InnoSetup silent install switches, where '/silent' will show a progress dialog and '/verysilent' will be completely silent. Keep in mind however, that some apps that will optionally reboot after a normal install, will sometimes reboot without a warning with '/verysilent'(but not with '/silent'), and so for those apps you need to specify '/norestart' in addition to '/verysilent'. Now for the main part of your question, then it's not a good approach to just list a bunch of apps and expect ppl to post you the switches. Why, you say - Well, first of all, then the majority, if not all of them, will allready have threads here on this forum that describes the needed switches and other relevant data. Second of all, you can also just google each app up to find which switches is supported(if any). Then for those apps you cannot find switches for by doing that, then you just experiment a little by yourself i.e. you try some of the most frequently used and see if you get lucky, like e.g. '/S' '/silent' '/qn' '/q' '/quiet' etc. Then for the apps that you can't get through with, then you can post here for additional help(it's better with one thread per app, and to name the app requested in the thread title), and if you then get to learn that there isn't any silent install switches available for this or that app, then you have two additional options; You can either make an AutoIt script to install it, or you can instead monitor what the original installer does(with a registry/file tracer - I personally would recommend RegSnap), and then make a batch file which does the same and pack it together with the program files into a SFX installer. This is what all the rest of us do...

Since the 'AppData' folder on Vista is a hidden folder, then Vista users need to make some changes : In 'ALL-IN-ONE.cmd' change all occurances off : FOR /f %%i IN ('DIR /b /a:d [...] To : FOR /f %%i IN ('DIR /b /a:dh [...] In 'Bin\Install.cmd' change : rem // Set Adblock Plus settings if exist. FOR /F %%i IN ('DIR /B /A:D [...] FOR /F %%i IN ('DIR /B /A:D [...] To : rem // Set Adblock Plus settings if exist. FOR /F %%i IN ('DIR /B /A:DH [...] FOR /F %%i IN ('DIR /B /A:DH [...] Note: I'm not using Vista myself and the following is untested and just comes from doing a quick glance through the SOF2 batch files, and i don't even use SOF2 myself...

Yes, this always also happens to me. I always set no passwords, so maybe it happens only in that situation ? Anyway, it's not a big deal, as it can be corrected easilly by adding the following line to e.g. 'cleanup.cmd'(or whatever batch file(s) you use in your uA-CD) : net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited

The official installer for RegSnap v5.8.1920 dosen't support any form of silent installation. Of course, cooking up an AutoIT script would be very easy, but as i want all my installations to be totally silent, then i instead just make a 7z switchless installer which installs the app by itself, without using the official installer. After running the installer, then the following files are located in '%programfiles%\RegSnap\' : about.dll form1.frm lartl.dll lbsu.dll license.txt mfc42deu.dll mfc42esp.dll mfc42fra.dll mfc42ita.dll msvcp60.dll readme.txt RegSnap Demo.vbp RegSnap Demo.vbw RegSnap.exe regsnap.la regsnap.tlb unsetup.dat unsetup.exe whatsnew.txt However, the only needed files for getting the app to run is : RegSnap.exe lbsu.dll The registration data is located in these two registry keys : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\LastBit\CPR\REGS HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LastBit\CPR\REGS These two keys contain exactly the same data and only one of them is needed. Here is the reg file which i use in my 7z switchless installer. Besides the registration key(i have removed the actual serial), then i also add the entries needed to do the following : Disable the Startup Wizzard. Show modified key values in addition to the key names. Generate reg files. Disable the "generate reg files" warning. Map 'HKEY_USERS\<ID>' to 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER'. Disable truncating long dumps. Ignore some unneded reg keys like MRU's, UserAssist, Cryptography and SessionInformation etc. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LastBit] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LastBit\CPR] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LastBit\CPR\REGS] ******************************************** ******************************************** ******************************************** [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RegSnap\regsnap\EL] "N"=dword:00000007 "0"="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Cryptography" "1"="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\ControlSet001" "2"="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\ControlSet002" "3"="HKEY_USERS\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\UserAssist" "4"="HKEY_USERS\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\ShellNoRoam" "5"="HKEY_USERS\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Shell\\Bags" "6"="HKEY_USERS\\SessionInformation" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RegSnap\regsnap\MAIN] "MODE"=dword:00000000 "VERINFO"=dword:00000000 "CMPMODE"=dword:00000001 "REGFILES"=dword:00000001 "TRUNCATE"=dword:00000000 "MAPHKCU"=dword:00000001 "EXTVIEWER"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RegSnap\regsnap\STARTUPWIZARD] "MODE"=dword:00000003 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RegSnap\regsnap\Prompt] "00000083"=dword:00000000

Sorry for going off-topic here, but i just wanted to redraw my recommendation of the modified Regshot version that i gave previously in this thread. A little while ago i was about to make a 7z switchless installer of hkSFV v2.0.1.84(Edit: I have meanwhile decided to go back to QuickSFV again). The original installer would leave an explorer window open at the end of the silent install, and even though i could easilly overcome that small hurdle through either batch scripting or AutoIT, then i instead decided to just ditch the original installer completely and just let my 7z switchless installer itself make the directory, move the files, register the dll, import the reg keys and add the shortcuts. When i used Regshot to capture the reg keys and file changes from the hkSFV install, then it would state that no changes had occured in '%programfiles%' ??? Also, i could see that the way the captured reg keys where written into the reg file where not completely chronological, but the worst part where that after i had made a test run of the newly made 7z switchless installer, then there wheren't any sfv or md5 files associated with the app! Then i instead tried to capture the reg keys with RegSnap and then replaced the reg file from the extracted 7z switchless installer and rebuilt it again, and then after running that installer, then the file associations where fine. Granted, the modified version of Regshot that i where using where based on v1.7.2 and there are newer versions out of the unmodified version of Regshot. Also, it can be that Regshot wasen't to blame, but that it was merely the modifications which had screwed things somewhat up. I don't know, but i have now gone back to RegSnap, since even if the newer versions of Regshot works perfectly(maybe just because it is unmodified ?), then since it still dosen't support outputting to reg files, then i will rather use something else which does. Also, RegSnap's option to automatically convert 'HKU_<id>' entries to 'HKCU' entries is really convenient at times where you have many of those entries. The automatically generated 'undo' reg file is also very nice for testing purposses, i must say. So again, please forgive me for being off-topic, but i just wanted to say that i will now instead recommend RegSnap to people looking for a very good reg entries/file changes capturer, since it is very precise, supports outputting to reg files(including undo's), supports converting 'HKU_<id>' entries to 'HKCU' entries and supports setting up a list with reg keys to ignore(like MRU's etc). Finally, i will just add that even though the RegSnap installer is very annoying(silent-wise), then it's very easy to make a 7z switchless installer which installs and registers the app itself, without using the original installer.

@Inferi0r Thank you for your reply, mate I looked at your batch file, but decided to use my own solution instead, but thank's anyway and please feel free to use my solution in your project if you'd like. Btw, you can ditch 'hidcon.exe' and just use 'RunProgram=hidcon:install.cmd' instead. Also, the '-setDefaultBrowser' switch is ignored by the installer and only has effect with 'firefox.exe'. About the extensions installing problem, then i did some testing and found out that the problem occuring when installing multiple extensions where indeed caused by the lack of a pause in between the installations for each extension. I personally fixed this issue with the following command-line : for %%g in (extensions\*.xpi) do "%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -install-global-extension "%%g" & ping -n 1 -w 4000 1.1.1.1 I now install Firefox with a 7z switchless installer which runs the following batch file : start /wait setup\setup.exe /S move override.ini "%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\" move /y profile\*.* "%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile\" move plugins\*.* "%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\" for %%g in (extensions\*.xpi) do "%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -install-global-extension "%%g" & ping -n 1 -w 4000 1.1.1.1 "%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -setDefaultBrowser -silent The 7z switchless installer consists off the following folder/file structure : setup\ ; Extracted Firefox installer without the optional folder. profile\ ; prefs.js, mimetypes.rdf, localstore.rdf and bookmarks.html. extensions\ ; I personally just need : 'IE Tab' and 'Download Statusbar'. plugins\ ; Flash Player. setup.cmd ; Batch file listed above in codetags. override.ini ; Used to override the Profile Migrator upon first startup. I personally feel that this system is very easy and convinient to maintain. When there comes an updated Firefox version, then i just extract the 7z switchless installer and replace the 'system\' folder with the extracted new version and likewise i can update extensions and plugins by simply overwritting the old ones in the 'extensions\' or 'plugins\' folder, or simply add new extensions or plugins into there, and i never have to change the batch file or anything. I also have made a batch file which i very frequently use, which whenever i drop a folder onto it, then it will make a 7z switchless installer of the content inside the dropped folder and also with the name of the dropped folder and it will be set to run 'setup.cmd' silently. This comes in very handy, since i always makes 7z switchless installers with pre-defined settings of all my applications Tomorrow, then i will make a comparabel Thunderbird 7z switchless installer also CU, Martin.
