you're welcome. the handholding is just about done. You mention network drivers, which do install around T-32 These would be my 1st suspect. Replace the OemPnPDriversPath in winnt.sif but remove the network drivers from the source files. Remove the entire 010_broadcom_nic folder and any other nic drivers you have. Possibly, your drivers arent for your exact nic or something like that. Have fun troubleshooting and enjoy the forums, see ya shark

The following post has prepared switchless installers. POST shark

My release of 5.2(final) will include the modern skin. shark

Attached is the INF from windows media connect 2. It executes files (with arguments) shark

Its a driver conflict/error of some sort. Again, take out the OemPnPDriversPath. shark

My next suggestion would be to eliminate OemPnPDriversPath from winnt.sif to see if its caused by a driver file, or a bad inf. also, i have seen this caused by a corrupt file on the harddrive within the installation source files. An easy way to eliminate this possibilty is to COPY (not move) the entire compilation elsewhere (hopefully a diff hdd) and create the ISO from there. shark

Extracted from WINNT.SIF the above executes @T-39 , possibly, if you're using this, there is an error in your command / path / filename / file itself etc. shark

I use WINNT.SIF to setup/install any driver. Extracts from winnt.sif: comment - OemPnPDriversPath is populated @T-39 using a selfextracting file containing all my drivers placed on the CDrom in $OEM$\$1\drivers.exe - this is set to extract the drivers to %systemdrive%\drivers\ All my display/sound/printer etc. drivers are installed properly this way. Just remember that OemPnPDriversPath must lead to the drivers INF file. NOTE: running the manufacturers 'setup.exe' IS NOT REQUIRED to install a driver. you will need to EXTRACT the files from the manufacturers distributed package. shark

I dont believe it. Would you be able to post an example? Microsoft Source shark

Uninstall any previous version through Add/Remove programs. This installation doesnt change previous settings. There is a checkbox under Tools/Options/Messages to 'Show the Handwriting...' I suggest you look there. Also, I have updated the Installer again because the Handwiting feature was missing the SEND tab. Download it again today if you downloaded it yesterday. shark

glad you have found it useful, thanks shark

Updated to 7.5.0324 - see 1st post. shark

@ T-13/12/9 the %userprofile% doesn't exist yet. you need a 'logged in user' to have a %userprofile% at best, this variable would default to the "Default User' folder at these stages of installation. the %allusersprofile% is however available. try running your batch file by runounce or runonceex instead of T-12. shark

*discontinued* This release is no longer available or produced. shark

Although i haven't performed any actual tests on the "pre-applied sticky" it visually looks more like an insulator than a heat transfer medium. In my opinion, the minimal cost of Artic Silver is worth the peace of mind. Anytime i remove the heatsink from a cpu it gets a cleanup and a fresh application of Artic Silver. shark

This installation doesn't contain the modern skin. you can add skins and plugins using a simple selfextracting archive (winrar) to decompress to the winamp folder adding whatever skins and plugins you like. If the files are present, winamp will use them. I've attached a selfextracting exe which you can add files to for this purpose. I have no intention to modify the uploaded file. It functions as stated. When 5.2 FINAL is released, there will be a followup release from me. shark

This is a switchless installer for WinampPro (Audio Only) v5.13 [unregistered] This version of winamp has NO support for video files. It will not install winamp agent. I hope this meets your needs Get it here (2.1meg) here are the corresponding options selected from the winamp installer: shark

Seems like a nice little utility. Are you aware that simply placing the font files into $OEM$\$$\FONTS or using a selfextracting exe to uncompress into the windows\font folder will install them just fine and to register them for use all you have to do is open the %windir%\fonts folder once and close it. shark

not only will you not be able to uninstall all the apps associated with this folder but many application shortcuts will also be broken if you clear out this folder. shark

WOL is a MOTHERBOARD BIOS setting and the associated NIC must have its own BIOS chip with the WOL option also. Many NIC's have a separate wire that needs to be connect to the motherboard to enable the WOL option on the card itself. Since the WOL is turned on/off thru BIOS, each computer will need to be dealt with individually. shark

Thanks I havent heard of or had this problem myself, sorry i cant help you on this one Try this: on the main msn window, go to contacts/sort contacts by/ ... and choose online/offline To change this, you will need to substitute your own hacked files into my installer and repackage it. noshark

You can easily modify this released installer by REPLACING any current file with newer or patched file(s). To update this installer take the newer/patched files from an already installed machine and replace the files in this package. This installer uses WinRAR. This installer is SVCPACK compatible. This updated installer uses the original MSI to perform the installation and is English Only. For languages other than English, download the tutorial at the bottom of this post. Downloads are on my repository(s) the following is not difficult to do If you would like to modify messenger's msi in your own language for use in a deployment scenario or the creation of an AIP (which is what i use to create the editable installers) get the attached tutorial. The tutorial applies to ALL languages. only logged in users may download the tutorial 8.5tutorial.7z

I've encountered this problem before. I think its caused by installing MSN Messenger from T-13/12/9 Try setting it up to install thru runounceex and see if this corrects the problem. shark

Upon Installation, it will showup in the systray, after a reboot, its gone. The program was meant to reboot before being functional, i removed the reboot for unattended installs. shark
