  1. what about i836 or 6i38 or 386i? Also, you are overwriting and not inserting right? if you insert, it will mess it up, no matter what.
  2. LOL i did not mean it that way...just saying that it was nice to get a full method going...I really wasnt even going to work on it today, but I decided I had some time...I just assumed you already had the method...though there is always a chance to learn...I had no idea about the ^...hell that would save a lot of my temp.txt's running around...
  3. ya know, where were you before I did all that work??? LOL...good job, so ^ is like an escape character.
  4. now, your gonna have to figure out what the reg add command you need to add...cuz I cant really tell if Gestures is a keyname or subkey from your quote...but if you open regedit and a cmd window and do a reg add /? you should be able to come up with the right command.
  5. as far as what it pertains to on the system, no...but i do know I have a S-1-5-21 key, so do you, from your quote in the first post, and so does every other pc ive ever been on...as I edited in my post before, I said what keys are under HKU, I have not seen more or less, just those...and the S-1-5-21 keys are the only ones different and thats only cuz of the characters after it...I could tell you what my key is, but its not gonna be the same as yours... Also, the reason a temp.txt was not needed for Identities was because we didnt need to use |...Also, another reason is because in the example I was able to use the full subkey...whereas, since we do not know what the FULL subkey will be from pc to pc, I have to pull all subkeys, find the one we want, and set it to a variable.
  6. no S-1-5-xx is not unique...just the characters after it...the reason for temp.txt is so you can set a variable...the for command wont work any other way...and i dont know of another method for setting a variable.
  7. reg query HKU | findstr /V /E Classes | findstr S-1-5-21 put that in a batch file, it will return the "UID" string...now to set it to a variable to be used in batch reg query HKU | findstr /V /E Classes | findstr S-1-5-21>temp.txt for /f "delims=\ tokens=2" %%i in (temp.txt) do set UID=%%i basically what happens is this...the first command queries HKU for all subkeys...giving us .Default, S-1-5-18, S-1-5-20, S-1-5-20_Classes, S-1-5-21-xxxxxx and S-1-5-21-xxxxxx_Classes. Since we do not want anything other than the S-1-5-21 portion and we dont want the Classes part, findstr gets us down to the correct subkey...then the for command allows us to set it to a variable...remember, this is a temp varaible...whatever you want to do to the key, you need to include in the batch. S-1-5-21 is a prefix that exists on everyones machine...just the numbers after it are different.
  8. actually a lot of those scripts came from a batch file.. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=16047&hl=Identities before that, I dont think a method existed...so maybe through batch you can get it to work...I could probably come up with a way through batch to pull the correct key and apply your reg tweak, but Im gonna give you a chance to do it yourself.
  9. did you get the .exe files in redist folder? I know those can be set to 0kb and not harm anything because nero will try to extract them and since they arent archives or self-extractors anymore, it cant do anything with them...50comupd and shfolder. Thank you for fixing the language error. I added the ability to first check if NeroDigitalPro exists, and if so treat that as NVE, and if it doesnt, then continue using NVE...maybe you could add it also...they are roughly the same, but nerodigitalpro adds some things (check out www.nerodigital.com ). I could send the bat file to you...the only thing I changed was checking if NDP exists and doing the same thing that is done to NVE.
  10. here is a pic of the programs folder with nero enterprise...icons are the same...that doesnt change, just the foldername. Also, maybe adding support for NeroDigitalPro would be nice too...its the same as NVE, so mainly it would have to do with determining is NVE is present...maybe an if exist NeroDigitalPro-*.exe do blah else if exist NVE-*.exe do blah else continue. (blah is just an arbitrary term i use...I know what commands it is, but it isnt all that important here :-))
  11. yea, a verifier for english language would be nice to keep the lightscribe helpfile (but only when integrating the eng lang pack, cuz obviously if they didnt want the help files, no use in having it, and if they didnt use english, they would need to replace it). Found out the issue with removing those files...as far as msxml3.dll, if you set it to 0kb, nero overwrites the system32 dir's version with the 0kb version...maybe it can be removed altogether like oleaut32.dll...I might test in a bit...right now, Im going to go through and see if any other files were replaced by 0kb versions. And for the version checking of whether its ultra or enterprise i was thinking maybe we could do it by the serial number, but I dont know if there is a way to have a string and pull the 4th number in that string...(use set serno1=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx and get the number of the 4th x)..another way would be to have the person enter a 1 for when using enterprise...maybe set ent=1 with a comment saying enter a 1 if using enterprise or leave blank if not...then when deleting the links, do a if %ent%=1 do blah)
  12. hey vc, I just tested out the new version and I must say it works great. I have been doing this using my own method without automation...This is soo much easier. Now, with all that said, I do have a couple of suggestions/additions/critiques. 1. When adding the helpfiles for languages, it would be nice to keep the lightscribe helpfile instead of using your script and then before removing apps, copying it from the nero-*.exe file...I just feel for those adding the helpfiles, they would want all the helpfiles. 2. Some more removals...msxml3.dll, 50comupd.exe, shfolder.exe can all be removed as winxp contains newer versions. Its not a lot, but its at least 2mb. 3. If removing items, in your installer cmd file, you only set for when installing the ultra version, you dont include for those installing the enterprise edition..maybe through pm I could offer suggestions for how to support both versions. Will think some more about some of the limitations of your script (this is really only about the language files and not being able to use more than one...nothing more than that one limitation that I can see honestly) PS I tested this in the leftover batch file in the temp dir and removing the nul line for the lightscribe help file worked along with adding the copy nul in the redist section...have not yet tested the ultra/enterprise link removal.
  13. new nero is out ftp://ftp3.de.nero.com/Nero-6.6.0.16.exe along with nero vision express 3.1.0.16 ftp://ftp3.de.nero.com/NVE-3.1.0.16.exe
  14. Unless there exists 2 different inno setups in the world, then both digitalfrost and ScubaSteve are wrong. for one, inno setup builds exe, not msi. and digitalfrost your idea that inno uses absolute paths is soooo wrong. Take a look at the help file, there exists stuff like {pf} for programfiles dir, {sys} for system32, {win} for windows, {dao} for data access objects dir (dunno the exact name, but its in there somewhere)...seriously, you should look at the help file.
  15. well, im at a stopping point now...basically what happened is because I edited the update.inf file, sp2 installer complains that the integrity is broken. So I really cant do anything else right now...I figured I would offer an update even though its not the one I wanted to leave. I believe the problem is with update.ver since it contains info about every file in source...I know the first part is the uncompressed filename and the part after is the md5 hash, the portion after that, I have no idea, then its sp2rtm (usually, didnt look through whole file) so thats easy to figure out, then after that is something else. it doesnt match any of the hashes I have, and its not crc-32. If anyone wants to look at the file and see if they can figure out what the portions are that I dont know, by all means, any help is appreciated. After about a week, I will start on changing all the md5 hashes of the file and see what that does, but I feel that it will result in the same problem.
  16. Bashrats driverpacks may change significantly, but unless RyanVM does something real weird and decides to not have his files overwrite the ones in the i386 directory, it will not change that much from what I have I understand what you are saying, but without seeing what I am working on, you cant honestly know how complicated or buggy it will be. I can assure you that it will not be that hard to update in the future as I am looking ahead in the event that a new service pack comes out, or new versions of the program come out. Now, if Ryan starts putting numbers at the end of the filenames, then yes, it will be much more difficult, but I do not see him doing that as almost his entire pack replaces files in i386 and most exist in the sp2 download. Bashrats driverpacks are gonna be easy no matter what he does to them. I will go ahead and say that what I do does not take away from their initial instructions. For the driverpacks, you still have to execute the files Bashrat tells you to and in the order he tells you. I will include instructions on how to make a "mock" folder so that the drivers are slipstreamed correctly and do not cause conflicts. There will still be user input as I am not looking at making this unattended in the making. The end result of the update cd will be unattended after you double click update.exe and integrating you will still have to run update.exe with the correct switches, but I never said anything about the making portion being unattended. All I can say is to wait, bear with me, while I finish this up and then make comments and such. I do understand your concern for me and the possibility that I may not know a change is coming in the packs, and I appreciate it, but sometimes I do know a change is coming. Also, this started out as "just for me" but in seeing how many people want an update cd, I thought I would be nice and offer what I am working on.
  17. @bilemke...first, what do you mean? Im here all the time. As for the big happy face, I found a better avatar On a side note, if you google the name evilvoice, it shows up TONS of places. Some places I have been, but some I have not. Do people not know this is MY name? I am seriously thinking about sending out cease and desist letters LOL j/k. @Achdine...you obviously did not read what I wrote...hopefully you are not one of those people that SKIM what someone writes and decides to type something back without reading the entire post...not knowing if you are that type of person, I will ask you to read my post one more time and maybe this time you wont respond with something that was already answered.
  18. Ok, i figured I would give an update. It seems that this is a huge process for even getting everything to integrate properly, but I have found an easy way to do things, so it should not take much longer. This is what I want the end result to accomplish: 1. the ability to integrate sp2 with all updates and driverpacks that get put in the i386 folder 2. the ability to update an installed windows sans sp2 with sp2, all updates, and newest drivers. So far, everything integrates properly, I just need to add a few finishing touches, and that portion will be done. Then it is off to test it as an update cd. Depending on what problems arise, I should be able to fix them and come out with a working version soon...this is all depending on what RyanVM and Bashrat come out with during this time as I may need to update some things. Some notes: This will be a one-time only release, I will not post future versions. This is not to punish anyone or anything like that, but when I do finish, I will post the steps I did to make it. Then you can make your own version and so forth. The reason for this is because my version will more than likely differ from everyone else. For now, I am not trying to add my custom items to this. Also, you will need to download sp2, ryanvm's pack, and bashrats packs as I will not be offering those for download with this. They are already on fast servers. It should also be noted that you DO NOT have to use the driverpacks right now as they are only used for integrating. If I am able to add them to update a windows install, then you will have to use them. You MUST use ryanvm's pack though as this was the point for the entire thing. I use the full english version and am unsure how other versions of his pack will work. Obviously, testers are welcome and if a bug is found, please report it and I will update the file accordingly and post a new version. For now, it uses UpdatePack 1.2.2b and DriverBase 5.07.3...again, if those change in the course of me working out the kinks, then obviously I will include the newest, but once I am done with the integrate and update portions, I will no longer update according to new versions of the updatepack or driverpacks.
  19. just one suggestion...i opened the strings.txt file and noticed it is one continuous line...can this be changed to maybe one item per line? Also, maybe support for background music just a small 50sec mp3 file maybe, since Im assuming this is still to run during shutdown.exe. Also, I liked your previous background...maybe having either a color or a image as the background would be nice?
  20. reg.exe doesnt exist in w2k...you need to add the one from xp.
  21. This will be more like a guide so I branched it from the Post SP2 Update CD thread (no im not gonna put a link like some people suggest, get over it LOL). I have taken the network download of SP2 and am doing some changes to it so that it will integrate with the newest RyanVM pack along with any hotfix stuff you would like to install during windows setup (for instance, I install dotnetfx, wmp, wmc, and jvm in svcpack.inf). But the main focus of this is to be able to update an already installed windows with sp2 and any hotfixes that have come out recently (this utilizes ryans updatepack). I am working on making this universal no matter what service pack is out. This means it could possibly be used when service pack 3 comes out. I would post what I have done so far, but I feel without finishing and testing, a lot of people would try it anyways and end up with a useless version. So, please be patient and bear with me while I try to finish this up. So far it only consists of copying files and updating an inf. As far as integrating goes, that works flawlessly, I just havent tested it as a standalone updater yet. I do know it should only add 60mb to an unattended xp install cd. Not bad for a cd that can both install and update windows also considering that sp2 by itself is a 273mb compressed file. So please wait until I have finished all my tests. I will post the inf file when finished so that people can update to their liking. (since ryanvm wants to yell at me for how I post, here is his version. I personally like mine better but whatever LOL. Yes, his name is lowercase for a reason )
  22. so where are people getting the bullets and stuff for the image? and also, almulder, how did you make the text look like that?
  23. hmmm, mine doesnt say autoreboot, but it could be a 2 reg key setting and not just one...ill have a look and see if I find it.
