Using MSCONFIG to Change the Programs Starting Automatically

That's a new one on me. I wonder why ... I'll have to check this out when I get back, but I've never seen the need before. Could it be due to a "flat" install? look at the Tbone2 post. Tbone2 He adds lines to section [FloppyFiles.2] for RAID drivers The position of $OEM$ in the folder tree differs when you install from CD : CDROOT\$OEM$ or from flat or network share : CDROOT\I386\$OEM$ Creating OEM installations for Windows

Just edit \WinXP\UlSata.inf with notepad and you will find the name of your RAID controller. UlSata.inf PCI\VEN_105A&DEV_3373.DeviceDesc="WinXP Promise SATA378 (tm) IDE Controller" you can use method described by Tbone2 to do the works. But you should first write your own dosnetadd.txt and txtsetupadd.txt and write a modified patch.cmd.

Maybe the problem is with this syntax Switches in TXTSETUP.SIF , Here's what "1,,,,,,,,,_x,4,0" means txtsetup.sif [SourceDisksFiles] megaide.sys = 1,,,,,,4_,4,1,,,1,4 I will try to change this to [SourceDisksFiles] megaide.sys = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1 Syntax may differ between 2K and XP ? 2K = 4 setup boot disks XP = 6 setup boot disks 3_ = file on 3rd disk in 2K 4_ = file on 4th disk in XP When we launch an install from a flat folder (other partition or network share) rather than boot from the CD, it's a kind of same installation as booting from the 1st disk and then insert 2nd 3rd and 4th ? I have modified the syntax in txtsetup.sif to see if it can solve the problem but it doesn't change anything. Only the other solution (add a line in section [FloppyFiles.2] of dosnet.inf works for me). It's not really a problem for me because i've found the workaround. May be can this info contributes to make XPCreate more versatile and works with all possible cases. The second "problem" i have to solve is to replace the old adaptec adpu160m.sys driver integrated in 2K original CD with a new one and add the new supported controllers (Adaptec Ultra160 ASIC's PCI\VEN_9005&DEV_008F.DeviceDesc = "Adaptec AIC-7892 - Ultra160 SCSI") integrated on my server mobo.

No success @idle.newbie need a clarification about your detached.cmd batch : %CD% where did you set this variable ? Is it the CDROM Drive Letter of the Windows installation CD source i386 and $oem$ ?

Windows 2000 Unattended install of mass storage drivers for HP/Compaq ProLiant Servers As posted here, i think it's not possible to use subdir for each MassStorage Driver answer is probably YES That the method used by HP/Compaq with their SmartStart installation tool.

Here the result of MEGARAID integration with XPCreate. I have built a new install using Windows 2000 Server MUI + SP3 slipstream. I run the installation from the flat CDROOT folder using winnt32.exe After reboot, during the text mode setup, i have this message : the file megaide.SYS could not be found the solution to solve the problem is to manually edit dosnet.inf and add this to section [FloppyFiles.2] d1,megaide.sys That way, megaide.sys is copied from the source CDROOT\MEGAIDE.SY_ to the target C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\MEGAIDE.SY_

@serialzs I would like to know what does exactly drvz.exe. If it's an autoit script, could you make the code public (turn back the compiled exe to script code) we can alter it to best fit our needs (change the default folder name for drivers).

2KCREATE Using XPCREATE with Windows 2000 Gold + Service Pack 4, one hotfix type 1 (835732) updates files that are located in I386\UNIPROC.

I would like my source Cd to be as clean as possible to use nLite to reduce the size of source after XPCreate. PS : The code works fine as is with SP4 slipstream but with SP3 + HF type 1 only slipstreaming instead, i've got a BSOD during install with the file winsrv.dll not found. The problem is related to the reference to this file in dosnet.inf

I agree with (Gely @ Jul 1 2004, 11:43 PM) Maybe make the install confirmation windows (which resume selected settings) optional would be fine ? either use a /s or /silent switch to avoid this, or use a /v or /verbose switch to have a final confirmation before running winnt32.exe would be nice in next release. and a small typo / cosmetic error i've noticed in the settings.ini file [Settings] /unattend: /noreboot: <<<switch don't accept any value, no need of : /makelocalsource: <<<switch don't accept any value, no need of : /syspart:C /tempdrive:c /s:%systemdrive%\winxp\i386 PEXP installer don't care if we use either /noreboot or noreboot: in [settings] in both case check box is selected but if we use /makelocalsource without the : the check box is unselected in winnt32.exe parameters Can you remove this little bug in the next version ?

If you don't want to install HP bloatware, i highly recommend to use the web download rather than the original CD. For the HP DeskJet 3600 series CD install adds this software : HP Memories disc HP Photo and Imaging Director HP print screen utility and probably other things without any separate uninstall utility... Nethertheless, another problem with the downloadable install. The drivers are not copied in the right path : i can find them in the root of the %systemdrive% instead of C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\hpz\glue which is the right path... My last recommendation is to not install anything and create an self extracting archive to copy only needed files (driver) to the path mentionned before and add this path to the DevicePath in registry. After unattended Windows installation, we may install the printer by 1st plug the usb cable and power on the printer, 2nd power on the box and just click OK to accept installation of new detected hardware.

@mazin original not left ! but disable some features from being installed do not disable PnP detection. I just would like to find a solution that do not need to modify the msi each time HP release a new version of the software package. But it's probably not possible to do it full unattended with the non modified package. Another question, when i use my previous posted method and kill the msiexec process to avoid PnP detection, then go to look in the msi log file, i have found that the solution may be to disable GSI_InitiatePnP: That the process i kill. may it be possible to only disable this action instead of create new switches like the previous msi you have sent to me ? @cyberdiamond I have downloaded a software package from HP for your printer to have a look inside. Do the installation try to detect and install your photosmart printer during the process or do you install the software first and when the installation finish, then (maybe reboot) and plug the cable into USB for automatic detection ?
