for some ungodly known reason everytime I try to install dotnetfx.exe (the repackaged one AFAICT) it prompts me that rollback is disabled...I dont remember disabling it, as I run dotnetfx at cmdlines.txt...is there a switch so I can disable the rollback feature for dotnet? I used xpcreate to download the hotfixes, noticed that MP9 and .NET wasnt installing, so I moved ones over from a working unattended, and I got that error message...any help is greatly appreciated...I would prefer to leave rollback disabled.

that is prolly your adapter ID

LOL ok, thank you

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=16801&st=0 this should give you a method...if youre gonna do this, I think youre gonna have to use a dos bootdisk, and then run winnt.exe from dos...you can use autoexec.bat to automate it all...but its gonna be pretty intensive. honestly, I think you can just leave everything the same, but instead of using xpboot.bin as your boot file, use a 1.44mb floppy that runs dos, then use one of the programs to format 2 fat partitions...and add Filesystem=ConvertNTFS in winnt.sif...I dont know the switches for winnt off the top of my head.

quick question, what is windoof? (do a search on your xml to find it )

doing some editing, but what is Bureau?

instead of you can use

rhino - change your settings, its only 24 on my side...24 is still a lot, but when searching, do a search for the one word in a reg tweak that you think would find the least reasults...and also click display as posts and from any date...that way, when you click on a link from the search, it takes you to the post and not to the beginning, or the page of the post.

Echolomax, please use the tags, they are there so when posting something like a files contents dont get messed up.

No, your way wasnt wrong, just I did some searching...searched if Data1 was a valid key, but it wasnt, and then I found that the key was sposed to be reg_binary (also, this way you can actually have multiple lines in a new file...as long as you have time to type it up) heh...created a bat file with @ECHO OFF test in it, and figured out that "0d 0a" specifies a new line...so if you create a reg_binary value, double-click on it, your cursor should be in the middle (after four 0's and like a space) this is where hex values go, if you move to the far right and click, your cursor will move to where you can type actual text (when you type, the middle will fill in with numbers corresponding to the hex value of each letter). So what I did was enter "@ECHO OFF" then moved to the center, enter 0d 0a when I was ready for a new line...its a back and forth process...the html stuff was pretty intensive...then when youre done, export the whole key, and just copy the value of data to your reg file for unattended installs and then post your findings here, so the rest of us can benefit. I hope this makes sense, but if not ask, and I can show some pics (I think)

Building on this, the data value is actually supposed to be binary key...so I found out everything for it...this is now what I have in my reg tweaks...tested on a working machine (just now) [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.bat\ShellNew] "Nullfile"="" "Data"=hex:40,45,43,48,4f,20,4f,46,46,0d,0a [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.cmd\ShellNew] "Nullfile"="" "Data"=hex:40,45,43,48,4f,20,4f,46,46,0d,0a [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.reg\ShellNew] "Nullfile"="" "Data"=hex:57,69,6e,64,6f,77,73,20,52,65,67,69,73,74,72,79,20,45,64,69,74,6f,\ 72,20,56,65,72,73,69,6f,6e,20,35,2e,30,30,0d,0a,0d,0a [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.vbs\ShellNew] "Nullfile"="" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.html\ShellNew] "Nullfile"="" "Data"=hex:3c,68,74,6d,6c,3e,0d,0a,3c,68,65,61,64,3e,0d,0a,3c,74,69,74,6c,65,\ 3e,3c,2f,74,69,74,6c,65,3e,0d,0a,3c,2f,68,65,61,64,3e,0d,0a,3c,62,6f,64,79,\ 3e,0d,0a,3c,2f,62,6f,64,79,3e,0d,0a,3c,2f,68,74,6d,6c,3e this does a couple of things for batch and cmd files, it puts @ECHO OFF and the equivalent of hitting enter, so you start on the second line with writing your batch file for reg files, it puts Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 and 2 blank lines after that (since most people dont scrunch the reg files all together in one continuous stream) for html files, it puts <html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> </body> </html> this is just building on others ideas, so none of this is actually mine, other than figuring out the binaries and putting what I feel should go in a file at the beginning, the reason for the html data is because I write in notepad, and even though I know how to write a webpage in notepad, it just makes it a little easier not having to write those things.

did you doubt me???!! LOL...glad it works for you now.

in real or virtual environment? Ive noticed, for some ungodly reason, that some things dont work 100% in vm.

$oem$\$$\system32

thats fine, but use the letter/number scheme as all others do... Q###### KB###### like that.

its qchain.exe...you renamed the "hotfix" file instead of extracting qchain.exe...open qchain.exe in winrar and extract qchain.exe and replace your current one with the extracted one. You really shouldnt rename files...it makes it a whole lot harder to troubleshoot when they arent named what they are supposed to be

deleted

just a quick question, why is it that in my default list of hotfixes, some exist that dont exist in xpcreate? q837251 kb833407 kb832353 ive got 3 others, but i know why they arent there...fm2paste, msjvm, mdac_typ and does anyone remember why I am installing fm2paste? I did a search, but cant find the topic anymore

get clearlogs...http://www.ntsecurity.nu/toolbox/clearlogs/ and then run it in a batch file @echo off clearlogs -app clearlogs -sys

understandable...

to do a true remove links folder, you must do this... ;Disable links folder in explorer favorites so it never appears again. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar] "LinksFolderName"=- "LinksFolderName"="" "Locked"=dword:00000001 I dunno why, but for some reason you have to actually delete the reg key for linksfoldername, then rename it, then lock it...dont ask me, cuz I dunno, this just works for me...you will have to physically delete the links folder also. I use a cleanup.bat at the end of runonceex.cmd that does a bunch of stuff, but this is where I remove the links folder... RD /S /Q "%USERPROFILE%\Favorites\Links" Also, since the links folder is an HKCU, you must do it before runonceex, i use cmdlines.txt. the same may be true for removing the shortcuts...if its HKCU, it should be run at cmdlines

hmmm, i sorta see what you are saying, but lets go with error-free...ok, lets say someone was doing this, and ran the file without problems and it worked perfectly for them...their post wouldnt do much for creating an error-free pack, because for them it is error-free...not saying their post isnt valid because Im sure all people would like to know it worked on as many peoples machines as possible...now lets say someone installed it and it didnt work...Im pretty sure they would come back here and post that this or that didnt work. Another way to do this would be to create a htm file in Drivers dir (in your exe file) that says Topic.htm (which would link to the topic for the driver pack, so for sound, soundtopic.htm).

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...ndpost&p=121464 this is an example...but in all honesty...you wouldnt even have to post anything, or to even notify people of a new update...the reason is because they can just run the batch file when they are ready to make their cd to download the latest drivers, from say your fileserver (whereever youre currently storing the packs). Now in theory, this is how I would do it... update.bat @echo off ECHO. ECHO Updating WLAN Driver Pack wget -t1 http://www.path.to.driver.pack\driverpack.exe 7z -x -oC:\(change to directory needed preferably no spaces, since im unsure if you can use quotation marks in 7z)\$OEM$\$1\ driverpack.exe (code to update winnt.sif goes here) del /F driverpack.exe exit this is just translating what WwTIPPYwW posted to be used for your file...also need a way of putting the oempnpdriverpath in winnt.sif, but im sure someone else can post on how to do that with the batch file (probably using "for /f"). This is just in theory what should happen, and then whenever a person is about to make their cd, they can run this and itll download whatever latest driver pack you have on your site and put it in the location it needs to go for their cd. Then all they should have to do is create the cd...so actually, you wouldnt even have to post any more "New version released" posts. Driverpack.exe should only contain the Drivers Folder (and sub dirs under that...going on your Sound pack, that would mean erasing the 7z.gif and all the .htms). Ill have to go through and figure out exactly what needs to be done, as I now see there are way more instructions than I thought.

cool...glad its working for you

to be quite honest, I havent really opened your packs...but wouldnt there be a way to use wget and update it without having to release a new whole pack all the time? or some kind of updater?
