I'll try that and let you know. Now just got to wait 2 hours for windows to reinstall in the VM.

When opening IE7 for the first time i am taken to a page that makes me choose a default search provider. I've already chose one with registry additions in the cmdlines.txt How can you force internet explorer to take settings from registry additions done during cmdlines.txt? I'm setting up machines in an environment that does not have internet, but does use internet explorer for intranet. I've tried setting the following values under the key [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] "RunOnceHasShown"=dword:00000001 "RunOnceComplete"=dword:00000001 as i've seen elsewhere but it does not appear that this setting is sticking after i log in for the first time. If i reapply the above registry changes then i'm no longer confronted with the settings page. if it helps, the link that you are directed to is: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=69157. Any thoughts would be appreciated. This is getting frustrating, and very time consuming to test.

Use expand.exe (see http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/16/) to expand the reg.ex_ file to reg.exe in your i386 folder. as for the other files, a google search should almost always find the file you are looking for with the exception of WINDOWSXP-KB892130-ENU-X86.EXE that I mentioned how to find below. You can also look at the windows update log to see the download paths.

Make sure you compare the filesize on GreenMachine's post to what you have downloaded. The only place you'll find WINDOWSXP-KB892130-ENU-X86.EXE is if you download it from windows update on your machine, and then read the c:\windows\WindowsUpdate.log to find the path. It will have the filename of: windowsxp-kb892130-enu-x86_72e487d115be77f49f64053893a23ecb58bc59cb.exe

Which patches did you add for this month? Did you remove any?

That did not work for me either JBM. I am using the new start menu, but the classic windows theme.

I need to accomplish this without using any third party apps to meet the security requirements of my company. Any other idea?

I've setup an unattended install of XP SP2 using Green Machine's method here: http://www.msfn.org/board/GreenMachine-s-Complete-SVCPACKINF-t109040.html ://http://www.msfn.org/board/GreenMach...F-t109040.html ://http://www.msfn.org/board/GreenMach...F-t109040.html ://http://www.msfn.org/board/GreenMach...F-t109040.html . However, the icon for IE7 does not show on the desktop and I can't seem to find out how to do it via the Registry or other. I tried importing these registry keys [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel] "{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000 "{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}"=dword:00000000 "{208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000 "{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000 With no luck. I do get the My Documents, My Computer, and My Network Places. Is this the wrong name for IE7? Thanks in advance.

Every .net 1.1 program i try to execute, causes the following exceptions: An unhandled exception of type 'System.TypeInitializationException' occurred in system.drawing.dll Additional information: The type initializer for "System.Drawing.SafeNativeMethods" threw an exception. I've uninstalled .net 1.1, 1.1 svc pack, 2, and 3, and Visual Studio .NET 2003. I then reinstalled .net 1.1 and Visual Studio .NET 2003. I'm still getting the exceptions. I then ran the system file checker. sfc /SCANNOW and no errors were reported. Any one have any ideas of what i can do to fix it?

Ok, I'm a real noob when it comes to unattended windows installs entirely so please bare with me. I've got KB893803, KB898461, and KB892130 (Windows Installer 3.1, Package Installer for Windows and windows genuine advantage) installed using the SVCPACK.inf. I wanted to try to get IE7, .NET 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, and WMP11 installed before applying the rest of the patches, that way i know for sure what patches need applied. My first step is IE7. Now my problem, I have got IE7 installed via the RunOnceEx.cmd with the below code. RunOnceEx.cmd cmdow @ /HID @echo off SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f REG ADD %KEY% /V FLAGS /D "dword:0x00000080" /f REG ADD %KEY%05 /VE /D "Internet Explorer 7.0" /f REG ADD %KEY%05 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\IE7\IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe /passive /update-no /nobackup /no-default /norestart" /f REG ADD %KEY%05 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Scripts\IE7_Hotfixes.cmd" /f REG ADD %KEY%\999 /VE /D "Reboot" /f REG ADD %KEY%\999 /V 2 /D "shutdown.exe -r -f -t 60 -c "Windows XP will now restart in 1 minute..." /f IE7_Hotfixes.cmd cmdow @ /HID @echo off SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f REG ADD %KEY% /V FLAGS /D "dword:0x00000080" /f REG ADD %KEY%05 /VE /D "Internet Explorer 7.0 Hotfixes" /f REG ADD %KEY%05 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\IE7\IE7-KB928090-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe /q /n /z" /f REG ADD %KEY%05 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\IE7\IE7-KB929969-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe /q /n /z" /f But my computer doesnt auto reboot, and when i reboot it manually, the hotfixes don't install. How can I auto reboot my computer, and why do my hotfixes not install?

I'm getting the same error after a fresh install of nlite 1.3 RC2
