hi, i'm currently trying to make a multiboot DVD that has both Vista and VistaPE, i've done the same thing with XP did a bootable DVD containing XP live-cd and XP. Both VistaPE and Vista have the same folders so i can't put them in the same DVD, is there a way to have to bootmanagers, one for vista and another for vistape?? i have found a way to make vista bootmgr to boot vistape and vista, but i would like each one to have its own bootmgr. Also i'm using easyboot to create this dvd. thx for the help

thanks you very much for the sysprep solution, finally i can install software during audit. but i still have one more thing to fix. Before logon the "enter key" message shows up, i tried putting in the second xml file but no luck. I don't want to skipuserOOBE since i want the user to put in his username, password, and computer name here my xml files: Autounattend.xml Unattend.xml

i wanted to know if there was a way and there isn't thx Arie

i was just wondering if i can hide the setup files of my unattended xp cd. i tried using ultraiso but when windows setup starts it doesn't read the files. is there a way that i can make the setup files hidden while making windows setup read them? thx

i'm trying to install nero 8 on unattended vista but the problem is that it asks for a reboot (e.g windows update) and i use WPI to install nero but after the reboot WPI doesn't run. is there a way to install nero 8 without having to reboot?? i've tried all solutions mentioned above, they work on XP but i want to work on VISTA

nevermind i found a way around it

i found a solution i used this in my xml in audit <RunSynchronous> <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Order>3</Order> <Path>cmd /c %AppsRoot%\Install\SPTD\SPTD1.53 add /q</Path> <WillReboot>Always</WillReboot> </RunSynchronousCommand> <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Order>60</Order> <Path>%WINDIR%\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /quiet /oobe /reboot</Path> </RunSynchronousCommand> </RunSynchronous> it restarts after installation, however it restarts about 5 times before WPI shows up and begins installing my programs

thx for the help sp00f installing SPTD using setupcomplete.cmd works, but it needs a restart to finish completely so i can install daemon tools. i want it to be installed during windows setup not after setup finishes, or find a way to make WPI work after a reboot. also i'm trieding to delete the temp folder using this command DEL %TEMP% but it requires y/n answer tried /S /Q but it doesn't work

I keep getting this error message after i do a reboot. see pic i want to install daemon tools and for that i need to install SPTD. i install SPTD using this command Start /wait %cdrom%\WPI\SPTD1.53.exe add /q in setupcomplete.cmd then WPI launches and restarts when it reaches daemon after the reboot WPI gives me this error message and when i click on the OK button WPI closes thx for the help

i'm almost finished doing an unattedend vista but i have a few problems. 1. can i install SPTD during setup, like in windows xp at 13 minutes it runs cmdlines file in OEM folder? if i installed it during wpi i need to restart and when i do that wpi doesn't start after reboot. 2. how can i delete shorcuts from the desktop and clean the temp folder in a batch file? DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop\*.lnk" DEL "%UserProfile%\Desktop\*.lnk" after running the commands above there are still shortcuts remaning locating in c:\user\public\desktop what should i type to remove these shortcuts? thx for the help

does this problem occur when installing a custom install not a full installation?? i used the argumen setup.exe /config custom-uA.XML i only install word, excel, and powerpoint

i recently found out that i can't make a multisession dvd image or copy it when i do only the first session shows up. i use nero 7 to make multisession dvd's i tried alcohol 120% and dvd decryter with the same results they copy the whole dvd but when i mount it or copy it to a dvd the first session is shown. i also tried ultraiso to make an image but the problem still shows up, if i open the dvd i can see all the session. the only way i can copy a multisession dvd is to open the dvd and copy paste the files and folders. i'm using windows vista but i don't think it matters what windows i use i want to know if there a software that can create an image from a multisession dvd???? thx for the help

i tried that but still the turn off display goes back to 20 minutes any ideas?

i have this wierd problem in the turn off display. everytime i change it from 20 minutes to never it changes but then when i do a restart or a shutdown it goes back to 20 minutes. is there a way to edit this in the registry to that it stays on never thx

thx for the fast reply boooggy. i checked out the registery and the updates were there, but i have a couple of questions 1. where can i find a theme for XP that is like the VISTA RTM i now there is one but i can't find it? 2. what can i remove from the components menu in nlite i tried searching this forum but nothing helped? 3. is there something that i can do to reduce the time windows XP need to install? thx

i recently done an XP cd containing some of the updates using nLite. how can i now that the updates are installed on the PC?I used the add/remove programs with the show updates box checked but still i can't see no updates. are the updates installed internaly cause i can't seem them?? thx
