  1. to anyone have the "identity switch" error in OE after installing ie6sp1 and the updates unattendedly...I use this Runonceex.cmd REG ADD %KEY%\zz001 /VE /D "Fixing Outlook Express and Internet Connection Wizard" /f REG ADD %KEY%\zz001 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\fix.reg" /f REG ADD %KEY%\zz002 /VE /D "Fixing Outlook Express (again)" /f REG ADD %KEY%\zz002 /V 1 /D "%systemroot%\oe.bat" /f fix.reg Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ;This deletes the identity key for Outlook Express ;This way OE6 works when installed [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities] ;This makes sure internet connection wizard doesnt popup [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Connection Wizard] "Completed"=hex:01,00,00,00 "DesktopChanged"=dword:00000001 oe.bat start "Outlook Express" /MIN "%programfiles%\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" process -q msimn.exe 30 Google for "process -q" I use this so I can set a timeout...I think there was a problem because process wont run until msimn.exe is closed...im still working on this unless someone knows how to get a batch to continue after running something. Hmmm, it seems to work in a currently running environment, but I coulda sworn I recvd an error in vmware...maybe it was before I used "start".
  2. 2k doesnt really rely on winntbbu.dll but 2k3 does so yes it works. 2k uses the little normal 98 like install.
  3. is there a way to incorporate the mdac update into the mdac_type.exe install? I ask this because for some reason I cant get the update to install correctly from svcpack.inf after install mdac 2.8...yes I know it adds runonceex keys...but using AirMales info in the windows 2000 unattended thread it removes all the runonceex info and registers the stuff itself...so is there another way to get both to install from svcpack.inf or is there maybe some reworking that can be done to it like what was done for msjvm (I dont remember who posted the info for msjvm but its in topics of interest thread) TIA Evil Voice
  4. @AirMaleDFW Im not sure if you ran into this...but after using your information for IE, OE, MDAC...I get a identity switch error in OE...I know how to fix it...but Im wanting to know if you have the same problem...I need the Identities to be correctly made for my OE tweaks that I run on runonceex.cmd...I have it to where it fixes itself in Runonceex.cmd...and if needed I can post the info...just wanting to see if you have this problem or if I did something wrong.
  5. ok...also...talked about this with you yesterday...are you gonna center it so when its a shell and full screen it looks like there isnt just this huge blank gray spot? msn is down
  6. 2nd I actually never meant to change what was already set for the other OS's. From the original screenshot you posted Cubie...I think you should only take out the 95 and ME part...leave all other OS's and versions. If youre gonna have 2000, why not include all versions....I mean it would seem dumb to me to limit yourself that way. Im not saying limit the app...just before we start adding 3000 OS's to the program, we should have a default set. So...Leave all versions of XP, 2K, 2K3 and 98. As far as the ini...I think it should be customizable with OS's and directories to the OS. Something Like peosinst.ini [OS] 98=off 98se=on 2kw=on 2ks=off 2ka=on 2kd=off xph=on xpp=off xpm=on xpt=on 23w=on 23s=on 23e=on 23d=off [Directories] ;use this section for OS's you select for on, using the same id for the directory 98se=%CDROM%\98\ 2kw=%CDROM%\2kwk\nr1wfre_en\i386\ This is only a template of what Im thinking...You could probably take out the I386 part...and also for OS's you dont wanna install...Im not sure if you need them in there or if the program will automatically default other os ids to no I use 23 for 2k3 as I dont know how vb will translate it...if it will see 2k3 or 2k 3...guess it all depends...but that is what im thinking as a ini file...
  7. ok, before this gets out of hand...I think this should only be used for the most used versions of windows...cut out 95 and me. ill leave it up to the rest of the people about nt4, but I wouldnt add that. The reason I say this is it will get out of hand if we include all NT's...cuz theres 3.5, 3.51 3.1. So I would have it do 98, 2k, xp, 2k3. Cubie, leave it as VB...I dont think it is really doable to add .net in pe
  8. it reboots cuz you closed its shell...edit setupreg.hiv and change winpeshl.exe to some other file...this is basic pe editing...but when you close winpeshl.exe it will reboot...same as if the shell was cmd.exe and you closed the command prompt
  9. @AirMaleDFW: I see that you call all this within svcpack.inf...but at looking at your post, you have REGIE6.EXE, REG_OEX.EXE, T13_START.EXE as .CMD files...is your svcpack.ing correct, or is your post correct. (Im talking about the headings above the quoted area...
  10. I have one question about unattended w2k...I have found that w2k allows themes (yes, the same ones as xp, I did not know this, but if you type themes and load a .theme file it is the same) Is there a way in winnt.sif to automatically apply a theme? I have not tried anything, but also I did not know that there were themes in 2k.
  11. in reply to OldMan - I added an extract reg.exe from windows xp to windows 2000 along with shutdown.exe and it works fine - imports the keys fine and everything.
  12. you are very right...I am sorry, I did not know it was already posted - I did do this myself, but yours is good, especially if it works. I use for commands cuz its what I know best. I tried to get it to not use the temp.txt but couldnt get for to do a translation on the commandline...tho ill have another look at it. update to this if you wanna use the script for /f "tokens=3 skip=2" %%i in ('reg query HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup /v "SourcePath"') do set CDROM=%%i
  13. one problem with yours - the i386 folder must be in root - as for multiboot dvds, this is almost not possible...hence why I changed it to mine.
  14. this isnt bad - but for a more universal script to move your i386 folder and install recovery console...I use this... reg query HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup /v "SourcePath" > %systemroot%\temp.txt for /f "tokens=3 skip=2" %%i in (%systemroot%\temp.txt) do set CDROM=%%i ECHO Please wait, Recovery Console is being installed locally. %CDROM%\i386\winnt32.exe /dudisable /cmdcons /unattend md %systemroot%\Source\i386 ECHO Please wait, source files are being copied. This may take several minutes. xcopy /Y /e %CDROM%\i386\*.* %systemroot%\Source\i386\ ECHO Adding registry entries. regedit.exe /s %systemroot%\Source.reg ECHO Done. erase %systemroot%\source.reg erase %systemroot%\temp.txt This is taken using gosh's method and updated to allow for a more universal script (ie multiboot cds/dvds)
  15. Ive seen a lot of posts moved from one place to another, so hopefully Im posting this in the right place. I have tried all the No Sound registry tweaks in the sticky, and none of them seem to make windows use No Sounds. When I open Sound and Audio Devices under control panel, and click on the second tab, the Scheme is set to nothing (no title) but there are little icons next to some applications, if you click play, it plays the sound. Now, when I change it from nothing to No Sound, it removes all the icons and no sounds are played. If I set it to Default, the icons are back, just like the no heading, and what it was set for before is now gone. I just want to disable all sounds in XP...I dont want a windows startup or asterisk or anything. This is the very last reg key I need. I have done a lot of work to test a bunch of registry settings to make sure they work and they all work in VMWare, so they should definitely work on a real pc. Please, can someone help me, or tell me how I can disable sound schemes. I will later post all my settings files...(runonceex.cmd, cmdlines.txt, registry.reg, batch file for cleanup) a bunch of what I have came from here, but some stuff I have done myself...like setting Outlook Express to allow saving attachments, and also setting a no splash screen...there are a few others, but I post up exactly what I use for everyone to see... And all these have been tested.
  16. well I did find out how to do NO SOUND. you must set windows xp to no sounds, and then export the entire HKCU\App Events\Schemes - and then just copy it over to your registry. For some reason, just setting it to .None does not work. If you goto control panel\sounds you will see its set for No Sounds, but it still uses the default sounds...no idea why. Still havent figured out how to get Explorer and My Computer to display details and status bar (yes, I tried both versions posted here)
  17. Ok, im having trouble with some registry tweaks. those dont seem to work. Basically I wanna turn off sounds, and also make windows explorer uses details view and display the status bar. Am I missing something?
  18. Ok syssetup.dll controls almost all of the text above the progress bar - Ive removed it all and most of the time, Im left with just the bar (which is what Im going for right now). BUT, I cant seem to find where it says "Installing Network" or that Preparing for installation, completing installation, building file list, copying, deleting stuff that also appear right after installing network. If someone has been able to find this, and change it, I would like to know because I want to remove it. TIA
  19. hmmm, well I dunno.I can only try by running winnt32.exe as I dont wanna make the iso yet until Im done changing things. When I ran it tho, it loaded up the changed winntbbu.dll and winnt32u.dll. Since people talked that winntbbu.dll works on boot by replacing the file, I assumed winnt32u.dll would have the same effect (I actually dont believe you ever edit winnt32a.dll, I only put that in there because I wasnt sure what peope tested winntbb?.dll and their experience on which one boots). Also, try leaving it uncompressed, and dont overwrite the .dl_ The way setup is supposed to work is its supposed to first look for uncompressed file, then the compressed one and uncompress it. If you havent noticed, some people have some things compressed while others dont (for instance - svcpack.inf, I have svcpack.in_), but it was my understanding, from another thread on another board, that if you leave a file uncompressed, windows will use that instead. Another thing to consider, I did a props on both files, and they say its a renamed winnt32.exe file, so maybe the answer is within there.
  20. Ok back to winntbbu.dll I used killerbee's winntbbu.dll that they removed all text, I then used the original to put back the original test of Collecting Information and whatnot (the 5 menu items on the left side) and changed font and background to my liking. I did not like have "installation will complete", nor the Press Esc to exit so those are removed. So basically I am left with the background and the 5 menu items, does anyone have a suggestion for what I should rename the 5 menu items, should I remove them altogether, the background I am using is like bliss.jpg, just wanted some input.
  21. Ok as far as the text that goes along with "Setup will complete, blah blah blah...thats in winnt32u.dll/a.dll (dunno which one, but since we're editing winntbbu.dll i assume its winnt32u.dll)...Ok, goto String Table 67 1062 1063 1064 1065 Im not 100% sure, but I think 1059 is the bar, dont quote me on that, but it looks like it could be the only thing And If anyone wants to get real sneaky and doesnt wanna have to remember their product code... check out Bitmap 106 To verify that a changed Bitmap 106 is in place, goto Dialog 144 you should see your replaced bmp
