Furthermore, what are exactly the files needed from the winPE CD? i have actually Windows OS (2003 Web w/o SP) English + MUI and a localized WinPE CD (French Windows Server 2003 OPK w/o SP) and i'm not sure i can use source CD with different languages. if i slipstream first SP1 to my Windows OS CD and burn a new CD, will it works with my w/o SP WinPE CD. Before starting my first AutoInstall CD with your tool, i want to be sure what can be done? Otherwise, i will first try with Windows 2003 Standard French and WinPE CD (French Windows Server 2003 OPK) Note: w/o SP = without Service Pack @oioldman Tools: Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment Bart's Preinstalled Environment (BartPE) bootable live windows CD/DVD

Can someone with a retail box try my previous syntax and add serialnumber switch and reports if it works ? msiexec TRANSFORMS=D:\1036.mst /i " D:\Roxio Easy Media Creator 7 Basic Edition.msi" SERIALNUMBER="xx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx" /qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress D: is CD-ROM Drive letter 1036.MST is the transform to apply french language. replace xx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx with your serial number @coucou http://helpnet.installshield.com/robo/proj...sformsApply.htm I'm not sure we can apply two different transforms to get 2 different languages.

Use this fine freeware: Poweroff 3.0: A free shutdown utility All actions can be done locally or on a remote pc (if they are running poweroff). I hope your administrator will not blame you to install a less than 200 Kb exe on each box. Install the program (in fact, you just have to copy the exe in %SystemRoot%\System32), create the service, save settings on each computer and uncheck "Visible in tray"

@hp38guser Thanks for your answer. A google search with "expand.exe -r" put me at this URL MSFN's unattended XP CD - Compressed Files and ModifyPE and another similar answer here: Expand multiple files .cmd? I will check my code and edit my previous post with the correct syntax.

As stated by Nazgul in this post #567, WindowsInstaller-KB893803-x86.exe has been removed by Microsoft. Shouldn't says that: due to bugs?

About the size of the drivers binaries, i recommend to use Driver Compressor Tool by hp38guser. It really saves a lot of space and as inf and cat files are both left uncompressed, you can use schalti method and Pyron tool to scan PnP drivers folders.

As you can see in my signature, i'm still using 2K. Thanks for sharing your eXPerience Searching with google, i have found this thread on neowin.net forums that could be of some interest for 2K Users: Change The Icons And Text On 2000 Desktop

This method is awesome. "One small step for man, one giant leap for drivers UA." @schalti for discovering and explaining the way to achieve this @pyron for writing the magic exe Many, many, many thanks. No i understand how some manufacturers like Creative installs their WebCam drivers first on my running box and then let me plug the USB cable and let install the Cam without asking for the install media.

@schalti just have a try with yours scripts on a Windows 2000 based installation. don't works as expected for me and just start to debug the process. My directory structure for PnPDrvrs: C:\PnpDrvrs C:\PnpDrvrs\Chipset C:\PnpDrvrs\Chipset\815.INF C:\PnpDrvrs\Chipset\815.CAT .../... here a sample of the first I_N_F.inf file created by your script: [Version] Signature = "$CHICAGO$" Provider = "schalti" DriverVer = 01/02/2004, 5.10.2600.0000 [DefaultInstall] CopyINF=815.INF [DefaultInstall.CoInstallers] AddReg=CoInstallers.AddReg CopyFiles=CoInstallers.CoInstallersCopy [CoInstallers.AddReg] HKR,,CoInstallers32,0x10008,"cocpyinf.dll,CoCopyINF" [CoInstallers.CoInstallersCopy] cocpyinf.dll,,,0x10 When i try to run at hand the command (debugging stage): rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 C:\PnPDrvrs\CHIPSET\I_N_F.inf nothing happens? no new OEM0.INF file in %windir%\inf no new OEM0.CAT file in %windir%\system32\CatRoot\{xxxxx} And i have edited drvcp.cmd to solve an copy error: rem W2K only copy /Y "%~dp0cocpyinf.dll" "%INFPATH%cocpyinf.dll" before editing the original line rem copy /Y "%~dp0cocpyinf.dll" "%INFPATH%I_N_F.inf" the <subdir>\I_N_F.inf file was overwrited with cocpyinf.dll As i understand, for WIN 2000, the dll should be copied in each subdir where is the I_N_F.inf file before running the command. I'm right? EDIT: After reading MSDN Device Installation: Windows DDK INF CopyINF Directive: I have tried to run this command first: regsvr32 c:\pnpdrvrs\cocpyinf.dll but don't works. Have you the answer to this problem specific to WIN2K? Or can you attach the full content of DDK tools directory in a zip file i can check by myself.

Thanks BaTLeZone for your reports. Not enough time to check by myself. I have temporary added a link to your post on my first post. Have you tried to remove these HF reported by Incroyable HULK as unecessary HOTFIXES: Win2000 SP4 – WinXP SP1 – WinXP SP2 #post 484

I have already post the answer to this question here: Copy File With Setup Under Windows Details about my specific Z310 server which use an onboard LSI MegaIDE RAID controller

Can you post your cmd script to achieve these commands. Want to do the same thing: creating an auto-recovery CD booting PE and loading GHO image from the network.
