@AaronXP or anyone sorry to be a pain, i wish to use svcpack.inf to install the reg file, do i add it like this:- END IF LIST,,, Q828026.EXE /Q /N /Z /O DX9NTopk.exe QCHAIN.EXE REGEDIT /S regtweaks.reg and also do i copy the cmdlines.txt files to the $OEM$ folder or $OEM$\$1\install folder???

cheers AaronXP thanks a lot! nick

@AaronXP thanks i will, can you help me out with this? I have created a Reg file that carries out reqistry tweaks, as explained in this formum (and thanks to everyone who has shared these), but i have noticed that most of these tweaks only apply to the current user. If i change the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" to say "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" would this work for every user???

@AaronXP thanks, i have now renamed to svcpack.inf and deleted the svcpack.ini file, i have also deleted the svcpack.in_ as well, i can see another file called svcpack.dl_ should i also delete this?

@hysel thank you, thats a great help, can i add your file to my main.cmd file?

I am having a problem with windows setup not installing my hotfixes from the svcpack.ini file Setup takes note of the winnt.sif files (works ok) Setup does not install the hotfixes from svcpack.ini and does not install/setup my user account. Ok this is a copy of my svcpack.ini:- [Version] Signature="$Windows NT$" MajorVersion=5 MinorVersion=1 BuildNumber=2600 [setupData] CatalogSubDir="\i386\svcpack" [ProductCatalogsToInstall] [setupHotfixesToRun] Q826939.EXE /Q /N /Z /O Q330994.EXE /Q:A /R:N JS56NEN.EXE /Q:A /R:N Q823182.EXE /Q /N /Z /O Q824105.EXE /Q /N /Z /O Q824141.EXE /Q /N /Z /O Q832894.EXE /Q:A /R:N Q825119.EXE /Q /N /Z /O Q828035.exe /Q /N /Z /O Q811114.EXE /Q /N /Z /O Q814995.EXE /Q /N /Z /O Q820291.EXE /Q /N /Z /O Q821253.EXE /Q /N /Z /O Q822603.EXE /Q /N /Z /O Q829558.EXE /Q /N /Z /O Q816093.EXE /Q /N /Z /O Q828026.EXE /Q /N /Z /O DX9NTopk.exe QCHAIN.EXE I have placed this into the DOSNT.INI file:- [Optionalsecdirs] svcpack If i copy the svcpack.ini to a cmd bat file, all updates work, so i think i may be missing something to do with telling setup to install my service packs.... I created the user account files and placed them in the $OEM$ folder, as detailed in the link given above... Any ideas! nick

Hi, does anyone know how to create a user accounts during setup?

@AaronXP, Thanks, well spotted! cheers, i though i was going mad.... Nick

Strange things are happening....... I have created my own hotfixes svspack. ini, works fine i have also created a main.cmd file and a registry files (attached). Windows setup installs from the winnt.sif, and the svspack.ini ok and then starts to load my main.cmd file, it starts to install and then the system reboots after the installing Windows Network update... If i run manually the main.cmd file install ? main.cmd

@AaronXP, thanks for the info, i will do so now! thanks nick
