For some reason this program hangs after the driver install on the image my company uses, anyone know where to start troubleshooting?

Since the intregation of any textmode driver does not touch the OS and its applications like Internet Explorer at all, you either didn't use a clean OS CD as source or enabled the removal of some features like the IE while processing with nLite. nope that's not it but i guess nLite isn't certified for XP Tablet edition (works fine with XP Pro)

hello i did this, slipstream intel ahci driver, but now IE is removed and some parts of the OS are really f*cked up. what happened? what did I do wrong?

Is it possible to save the arrangement of the quick launch icons and then restore them during setup? I have it set to create the Microsoft Outlook shortcut in the taskbar but I'd prefer if it was the last item and not the first.

Hello folks, how do I make Vista read from a new XML file? I have one that is used for all machines and then a 2nd XML for machine-specific changes.

Hello folks, I need to create a Vista image that has the mass storage drivers loaded for ICH7 to ICH9, RAID non RAID the all 9 yards. Basically every device entry in IAAHCI.INF and IASTOR.INF from the Intel Matrix Storage driver package. How do I do this?

Hello I preinstall Nero 8 Micro at auditUser stage with Vista Ultimate It seems to install fine but then bombs out with numerous registration errors, such as NeroFileDialog.dll and other dll/ax files What can I try? should I make Vista reboot before Nero is installed?

you have to run formathd.exe or deletall.exe dont boot from cd, use winpe and copy the files down

wtf man? Ya gotta be kiddin with a reply like that. LOL Thats not the idea of an unattended OS now is it?? I recomend you read the threads here more closely from now on. r u retarded dumbass? wusa.exe supports /quiet /norestart f*** off noob

I run several commands via RunSynchronous but it keeps executing sysprep in the end! I need to run Sysprep manually, how do I prevent it from it running automatically

i just use WUSA.EXE to install the hotfixes ... no slipstreaming, installed vista and activated it and backed up to ghost image so i won't do clean installs ever

during the auditsystem stage, the system shows a black screen and sits there installing drivers for 20 minutes. can i run a program during this stage?

Hello when I run my unattend setup for Vista it crashes and burns after copying files for 2 hours something about WINDOWS folder not found can anyone tell me what's wrong? <?xml version="1.0"
