No.

I install vmware tools at RunOnceEx. I'll give you what I did to get it to work. I have an "Apps" folder on my DVD with all the programs I install. If you don't do this, then you'll have to modify for your method. Take the windows.iso, and extract the contents to a folder named "VMWare Tools". How ever you call your installs, you'll need to modify this command line (I use Wise9, but no one else does, so you have to figure it out for your method): %SYS32%\msiexec.exe /i "%CDROM%\Apps\VMWare Tools\VMware Tools.msi" /qb NOTE: You want to call this with some kind of "Wait" command, so your install will wait for it to finish, before going on. If you use "/qn" instead of "/qb" it will auto restart after the install is done. I don't want it to restart right there, so I pass it the "/qb" switch. I then have an AutoIt script that waits for the popup prompt asking if it can reboot the system, and it tells it no. Here is the code for the autoit script: LOOP: Sleep, 1000 IfWinExist, System Settings Change, , Goto, SYSTEM IfWinExist, VMware Tools, You must restart, Goto, VMWARE Goto, LOOP SYSTEM: WinWaitActive, System Settings Change Send, !n goto, LOOP VMWARE: WinWaitActive, VMware Tools, You must restart Send, !n Goto, LOOP I call this script before I call the VMware Tools with "Wait". I'll attach the compiled exe and source of this script below. Hope this helps. script.zip

It's part of VMWare. Click on "VM" -> "Install VMWare Tools" at the top of your VMWare window.

You have to install VMWare Tools. Then you can copy and paste clipboard or files.

The new Codec Pack won't install totally silent, if you have System Restore disabled.

Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition does not have Infrared support. But the Standard Edition of Windows 2003 does. Which did you install?

If I could add a suggestion. In addition to adding the GUIRunOnce section, please also add this section: [setupParams] UserExecute= These run at two different times durring the install. Me personally, i use this one all the time, GUIRunOnce almost never. Thanks Could you put a textbox, and if anything is entered, it updates the sif file?

I've talked directly with Microsoft concerning a SP5 release. They are considering not releasing a SP5 at all, just a hotfix rollup package. Nothing is final, but that's what I was told.

It isn't a VLK, it's a Retail key. If you google it, it shows up all over the place.

Have you verified that disabling the firewall fixes the problem?

RTM = Released To Manufacturing (meaning it's done, and the OEM's get a copy first) Build 2180 is the final build for SP2. What you refer to as build 2158 is actually build 2180. The numbers 2158 are the time stamp of when the build was digitally signed. And yes, there is a difference between 2179 and 2180. 2179 was still beta.

Anything specific?

I'll give that a try once I get home. Thanks for the info. UPDATE: Just tested it on a friends workstation here, and it didn't work. We added both of the regkeys and rebooted.

That's what I'm shooting for, but someone has to do the work upfront, and I don't mind putting in the time. I just need someone to point me on the way.

Thanks, just verified it for myself

Can anyone tell me where I can get the info I need? What I'm looking to do: I want to figure out how to patch the build 2180 version of the termsrv.dll to allow concurrent sessions, using the build 2055 version of the file as a reference. What tools/methods do I need to learn/use to figure this out. Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks EDIT: Yes, that one.

Has anyone figured out how to preset the size of the quick launch?

That reg file will work as is.

If you put it in the source (i386), make sure and add the reg file to your unattended. But yes, that's all that's needed.

Good Idea

I don't know much about that, I can use UltrEdit to edit files, if I have the mods given to me, but doing the research is beyond me.

That is the newest version that supports CS's. Hopefully, someone will figure out how to patch the 2180 dll.

Here is the thread for SFC_OC.DLL http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=23587&hl= And here is the thread for the termsrv.dll http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?act=ST...t=0#entry161523 NOTE: termsrv.dll is an old build, not a patched 2180 file, still looking for someone to patch this ????

Here is my list: sfc_os.dll (to disable Windows File Protection) uxtheme.dll (for using custom themes) tcpip.dll (to allow more than only 10 connections per port, now allows unlimited) termsrv.dll (to allow for concurrent sessions) winntbbu.dll (cool Matrix setup screen)

Yes, they mean Safe Mode
