2Astalavista: Sorry, little OT... Dec 30 2004, 10:33 PM - U R trying to install WMP10? Why dont U use WMP Deployment Pack?

Agree... Only one field I could invite stronger integration is AV and antispyware product

ok, just copy and run this two commands: fsutil behavior set disable8dot3 1 fsutil behavior set disablelastaccess 1 I dont use GUI for settings like this

2Corleone: Try command fsutil...

2Azagahl: If U ment it as new years joke, it is great... If U didnt, it is sad...

I think really great idea could be to make ability to download packages with install informations for sw... Kind of database of known app switches (www.appdeploy.com)

Salt... Unattended or images?

XOSL was great, but the development stopped Personally I use boot.ini ))

Or have a look at Elevated Privilege Application Layer from Microsoft

Roboform is great! Now there is new version that support flash disk storage, which is great, I can use on every computer I need to... About security - U can use master password, so U will have to type only one (same) password every time

Use compatibility mode... Or Dosbox... Or Virtual PC/Vmware... If you need more professional solution (for enterprise), download ACT from Microsoft...

Simple... I am installing through services - impossible with autoit... I dont need to have interactively logged on user to perform installation It cant deal with unexpected problems, I can... I am using autoit for creating utilities, but not for installing SW (or configure it)

If U need it for backup, use robocopy from RK... If it is for migration, I would recommend U using User State Migration Tool from Microsoft, it is really great tool! But it looks like roboform and mirror option will be best for U. Could U write some more informations, please? For scheduling U should use command schtasks or GUI for creating job...

2Nologic: AutoIt is scripting language... Very powerfull compared to vbscript (if U dont want to use WMI or ADSI)... But it is NOT a good way to install application using it macro capabilities!!! Only in case there is no other way (it is one step above using snapshot installations)

Yep... It should be possible by creating NT boot medium and modified boot.ini

Wmic is EXTREMELY powerfull command-line utility, that provides access to WMI classes without knowing about programming. I made presentation about it for Microsoft few weeks ago So this is script to find the letter of cddrive, where boot cd is inside... wmic cdrom where "VolumeName='XPSP2'" get drive /value > cddrive.txt this command will find the cdrom drive, where is media named XPSP2. Then it will same the drive letter to file cddrive.txt (it will looks like Drive=D:) FOR /F "usebackq tokens=2 delims==" %i IN (`type cddrive.txt`) DO echo %i > drive.txt This line will open the file, pick up X: part and save it to same file again. set /p cddrive= < cddrive.txt this last drive will input the cddrive letter do variable cddrive...

Ah, I see that file... It is SFX Cab file, but NOT from Microsoft, but from InstallShield. Why do they have to use their own standart, when MS CAB is open one??? Answer: U should use InstallShield unpacker, U can find it here: http://cdmediaworld.com/hardware/cdrom/files.shtml

Why dont U keep it decompressed on cd? Or recompress it to cab for example?

Hi! On forums like this (lot of posts etc.) I like function Show new post since your last visit. I found one problem - Sticky forums R still on first places! So U dont really see the new thing (they R on second page)

Hi! I read through articles at msfn.org (btw GREAT work). I am working as deployment consultant and I think I could help/improve few things... For example RunOnceEx from CD - U dont need to search cd.txt, U can use WMI (WMIC) to find the cd drive... For example this "script" will make the job: wmic cdrom where "VolumeName='0006'" get drive /value > temp.txt FOR /F "usebackq tokens=2 delims==" %i IN (`type temp.txt`) DO echo %i > temp.txt set /p test1= < temp.txt
