titou have you checked against the windows update site?

tried that, didnt work...I also tried puttin a space for the value, it still puts the reg key in there.

priapus - if you remove the key, the next time you open msn messenger, it will place it back there...to stop that, you need to put a space as the value. I do this with reg settings i import, but I want it done when I install the app

has someone done msn messenger? I want it to stop put the run in the registry, I tried deleting it, but for some reason its always there. I do not want msnmsgr to run at startup...jeez, I hate ms for doin that...only thing that p***es me off.

what does it mean when i get incompatible version when running innounp on certain inoo setup installers? It says version is 4.2.1 and internal is 4201...but whne i check istool and innosetup they both say their version is 4.2.1 (I installed both because I was having problems getting KLR to run on istool and thought the real inno setup would fix it, but it didnt, so I changed a bunch of things) TIA XtremeMac, there is a installshield decompiler here http://protools.anticrack.de/decompilers.htm I would take a look at those, I have not yet as I just found it, but I am going to soon...the only thing I can see is there is a version it doesnt go past, so if the installer is made with a newer version, it prolly wont work, but there ya go.

what i dont understand is how this is working for people...the reason I ask is within oem.exe there is a reg file which has in it [HKEY_USERS\S-1-######] Now, in my experience the #####'s are always different on every install...so if this is working fully and completely for people, are these keys really needed at all? I wonder if there is someone willin to test it out...I could make the changes for removing those lines and resubmit the oem.exe, im just wondering, because wouldnt you also have problems on your machine when it loads the S keys when you dont have that user on your machine? PS I really like this idea and have thought about transforming a bunch of other installshield apps to inno but havent had the time yet. Also, is ImageReady installed? or is this just specifically for PS?

it actually wont work, your reg file calls upon HKEY_USERS, and most people wont have the same S-1... you do

Also, since yours is in German, Im trying to rebuild for my setup, and also for my programs....I use WInstall LE and it seems ot lok the same, although yours has many components, and mine only has 1...but how do you get the little GUI thing to load?

dont think I said anything as to whether you made the prog, was just talking about the homepage...one question tho md c:\temp2 md c:\temp2\pdvd5 copy %CDROM%\$OEM$\$1\temp2\pdvd5\setup.iss c:\temp2\pdvd5\ whats that? If I understand correctly, I am supposed to have that file on my cdrom, but I dont. (this is from your software.cmd file)

well, although Im not sure about the prog...I do know that the page above that (cut out the image in the link) is not his...Michael K H Au-yeung does all those and the pics verify it...but he always signs up for forums as khauyeung...but i would be interested in this program. What is funny to me is how many people set up these mirrors of his apps. Now I could be wrong as I have never seen his UBCD DVD, but on further reading it looks like 3 seperate iso images were combined into one dvd, so who knows.

uhm, what is this in reference to...I dont have any problems installin 98, or are you talkin about special installs?

well, thats where I got most of the information for this... Let me make some statements to clarify 1. TEXTMODE works (this is from editing txtsetup.sif) [AFAIK, I dont have a SATA HD to test if it finds the driver] 2. Winnt.sif is set correctly using OemPnpDriversPath 3. Windows does not find the correct driver for my SATA when its supposed to (it prompts me for new hardware while my runonceex is running) 4. I have both drivers for SiI 3112A (this is BASE and RAID), my system will more than likely be set for RAID, but I want to make sure I have both drivers on the disc just in case I decide I wanna change. BASE is first, RAID is second in OEMPnpDriversPath, my system is set for RAID. In my assumption, if BASE isnt the correct driver, it should move on to the next folder, but it doesnt. Hopefully this clarifies my post, and what problems I am having

Ok, I did this with KLR 007, but it wont compile...In Inno Setup 4 it complains about languages, then about components...In IsTool it cuts off half of my iss file because it cant handle the binary value of registry. Can Someone help me???? Please? nevermind, got it...though it isnt exactly the same as the old exe, but it looks like it worked

Anyone?

dont register it...just have it in the folder, when you open winrar, itll say settings imported.

well, you could always install on your pc, and then set it how you want it, through options, settings, then after done, goto options, export, and itll save it as settings.reg, if you copy that over to your winrar dir, and open winrar, itll automatically import your settings...and then everything is set, its all associated and everything.

Ok, I integreated my drivers into textmode setup (using txtxsetup.sif and compressed sys file) and I also included the OEMPnpDriversPath with the correct drivers for my card. But, windows does not find the correct driver and prompts me during runonceex to find the correct driver, which it does, and in the location it was supposed to during GUI setup. My question is that since I have a Silicon 3112 SATA chip on my board, which drivers should I install? I have both the BASE and RAID set to different locations. 003_SATA_BASE, 004_SATA_RAID. Both drivers also exist for textmode setup s3112.sy_ s3112r.sy_ which seemingly works fine. Just I dont want windows to tell me it found new hardware when I already have the drivers on the cd and have it set to find the drivers in the right place.

i included in svcpack.inf [setupHotfixesToRun] mine.cmd and mine.cmd had ECHO This is svcpack.inf executing PAUSE EXIT and nothing showed, so for some reason...it isnt running, at first I thought it was because after dos mode setup my cdrom drive changes from f: to i:, but I included all my raid/sata drivers, and still no luck, I have since dumped everything into cmdlines.txt and it seems to run fine there...journal viewer looks like it may be messed up, but hopefully its fixed now.

I know this isnt a critical, but is anyone else getting this q833998 hotfix in their WU? Update for Shop for Music Online?

does it matter if the folder is upper/lowercase? I dont think it does, but I have checked dosnet and txtsetup and everything else I can think of, my next thing would be including a compressed one...ill test it here in a sec

hmmm maybe my dir structure is messed up...ie maybe i deleted some folders which are required for scpack to run... this is my current i386 layout i386 --ASMS --COMPDATA --DRW --SVCPACK --SYSTEM32 also dosnet has been updated, so I know it should work, I mean it used to, until I did the driver thing and killed some folders, Im thinking it has to do with those MIG UPG folders Also thank you Alanoll, I know I seem a bit uppity, and not patient, just everytime I seem to ask a question here, it gets overlooked or noone replies, I figured this would be another one of those times...Thank you for your help.

qchain is at the bottom...not sure what update.exe is about...nothing is wrong with my drivers...it works perfectly, just ever since adding the OemPnpDriversPath svcpack.inf is now not running. I think I found out why Home_Page was not being set...I added BrandingIE header in winnt.sif, havent tested cuz I really dont wanna write another cd till it will work completely, but I think thats it.

well since noone is gonna reply to my problem...Ill ask a little different question...svcpack.inf does not get used at all, dunno why. So, since I cant use svcpack.inf, can I run hotfixes.cmd from guirunonce? or is there a better place to run it from? Are there any hotfixes that I can not install this way? My complete list (up to about last week) is above. Hopefully someone answers this one so I can get a working xp on this computer (I guess I wouldnt be so hard pressed if I didnt try installing 2k3, then xp 2x, then 2k only to go to my xp unattended which then worked, but it didnt do everything, so I tried it in another drive, same thing...so Ive done about 6 installs on a real computer in the past day, id really like to get this up and running so I can work on something else)

Well, my whole system crashed and decided what better time to test the unattended xp cd I made than now. Well, I added all the updated drivers for my new board (which btw, someone should shoot Gigabyte for packaging drivers that crash windows xp and 2003, but I digress) and added those in the OemPnpDriver Path thingy (I dunno the actual name, but it worked) and I have my winnt.sif all set up, and svcpack.inf always ran in vmware, before adding the driver thing...so since someone is bound to ask, here are my files... winnt.sif ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS Repartition=No OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\000_NVidia_INF;Drivers\001_gigabit_LAN; Drivers\002_raid;Drivers\003_SATA_Base;Drivers\004_SATA_Raid" DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore UnattendSwitch="yes" WaitForReboot="No" [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=35 OemSkipWelcome=1 [UserData] ProductKey= FullName="Unknown User" OrgName="Unknown Organization" ComputerName=Computer [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 Language=00000409 [Identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [Shell] CustomDefaultThemeFile="%Systemroot%\Resources\Themes\jtcorona.THEME" [Components] msmsgs=off msnexplr=off freecell=on hearts=on minesweeper=on pinball=on solitaire=on spider=on zonegames=off [URL] Home_Page=http://www.google.com (Actually, now that I look at it, it didnt set my homepage either) svcpack.inf [Version] Signature="$Windows NT$" MajorVersion=5 MinorVersion=1 BuildNumber=2600 [SetupData] CatalogSubDir="\i386\svcpack" [SetupHotfixesToRun] DOTNETFX.EXE /Q:U /R:N DX9NTOPK.EXE /Q:U /R:N "MDAC_TYP.EXE /C:""dasetup.exe /q /n"" /q:a" REG_MDAC.CMD MM20ENU.EXE /Q:U /R:N MPSETUP.EXE /Q:U /R:N MSJVM.EXE JS56NEN.EXE /Q:U /R:N KB815021.EXE /O /U /N /Z KB820291.EXE /O /U /N /Z KB821253.EXE /O /U /N /Z KB822603.EXE /O /U /N /Z KB823182.EXE /O /U /N /Z KB824105.EXE /O /U /N /Z KB824141.EXE /O /U /N /Z KB825119.EXE /O /U /N /Z KB826939.EXE /O /U /N /Z KB826942.EXE /O /U /N /Z KB828035.EXE /O /U /N /Z KB829558.EXE /O /U /N /Z KB828028.EXE /O /U /N /Z KB833407.EXE /O /U /N /Z Q322011.EXE /O /U /N /Z Q327405.EXE /Q:U /R:N Q327979.EXE /O /U /N /Z Q330994.EXE /Q:U /R:N Q810243.EXE /O /U /N /Z Q814995.EXE /O /U /N /Z Q832894.EXE /Q:U /R:N Q828026.EXE /O /U /N /Z "Q832483.exe /C:""dahotfix.exe /q /n"" /q:a" HMTCDWizard.exe /q "setup.exe /q /c:""msiexec /I """"Microsoft Windows Journal Viewer.msi"""" /qn""" qchain.exe [ProductCatalogsToInstall] JS56NEN.CAT KB815021.CAT KB820291.CAT KB821253.CAT KB822603.CAT KB823182.CAT KB824105.CAT KB824141.CAT KB825119.CAT KB826939.CAT KB826942.CAT KB828035.CAT KB829558.CAT Q322011.CAT Q327979.CAT Q330994.CAT Q810243.CAT Q814995.CAT Q815021.CAT Q832894.CAT Q828026.CAT Q8CA61~1.CAT Q8DA55~1.CAT (No im not an id*** the only other svcpack file is svcpack.dl_)

ok...well this is just info about having the recovery console on boot (this assumes that you have added just the necessary files for only recovery) Ok, well I went through the files in this minimal set and saw spcmdcon.sys...this is what loads recovery console. It has a lot of info about recovery console...if someone wants to take the time to find out how to allow those commands that you must normally set in the group policy editor, this would be the file (I suppose, not sure, but it does seem that it is this file that allows it or disallows). I also took everything out of txtsetup.sif OSLoadOptions (normally noguiboot fastdetect and something else is there) and put /spcmdcon...this didnt work, but it seems that there is SOME command when put into OSLoadOptions that will allow us to bypass the normal blue setup screen and press R...I will do some more looking, but if anyone wants to help out, it would be greatly appreciated.
