Take a look at this guide, it's for Windows 2000 but it should be easily translatable to XP. Pay particular attention to the handover commands in the batch files and section 5 of the notes.

Internet Explorer 8 is now supported, however as a result you must set it to autologon twice to an administrator class account at step 7. This is because the website compatibility update patch KB968220 requires a reboot between IE8's installation and its own. Also in the annoying category is the fact that the admin account cannot be initialized properly after IE8 has been installed, hence the unwieldy commands at the end of Run1_XP-64.bat. On the plus side, it is now very easy to chain application install reboot passes as noted at the end of the application install section. To install IE8 rather than IE7: Delete the following files from \Hotfix 020-IE7-WindowsServer2003-x64-enu.exe 180-IE7-WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB938127-x64-ENU.exe 710-IE7-WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB961260-x64-ENU.exe Add the following files to \RunOnce % ▼ IE8-WindowsServer2003-x64-ENU.exe [33,972,080] MD5: F357A6B6B69FBD427610F1DD83A17C16 SHA-1: CD917216AFD5592BB3B433E2829754972B6F08A0 % ▼ IE8-WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB968220-x64-ENU.exe [685,952] For those who continually experiment I've attached my batch file for source preparation, of course you will have to edit the file paths. Finally, this months patch Tuesday update is likely to be late. XP_64_Prep.bat.txt XP_64_No_Copy.txt

The method of launching Run2_W2Ksp5.bat has been changed from SchTasks to GuiRunOnce, this has the advantage of no longer requiring the use of the Administrator account with a password of "giberish". Instead one now only has to set it to auto logon twice to an administrator CLASS account. It also allows for additional install passes to be easily set up. You will have to place the file ShutDown.exe from XP sp3 at \RunOnce (attached to first post) and move SchTasks to \AddOns. Altered sections of the main post follow, also please note that this month's patch Tuesday update will be about a week late. ================================================================ From this post's attachments, the Config2000sp5_date.zip file and extract it, this will also setup the necessary directory structure. The archive contains: \Misc\Run*_W2ksp5.bat (optional additional install passes) ================================================================ At \RunOnce for installation via nLite's RunOnce / batch files ShutDown.exe [19,456] - From %SystemRoot%\System32 on Win XP sp3 Not yet in archive, attached below At \AddOns SchTasks.exe [121,856] - if you have Win XP sp2 then you already have this file at %SystemRoot%\System32, but you would need to change hex offset E3F8 from 75 to EB for it to work with Windows 2000. SchTasks.exe is also available separately from this post's attachments. ================================================================ 5. Unattended settings, this is the most important one. Your RunOnce file should look like this: Ping -n 11 127.0.0.1 > nul For %%I in (Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N M L K J I H G F E D) do CMD /R "%%I:\Run1_W2Ksp5.bat %%I" rem should not see me Pause You must also set it to autologon twice to an administrator class account, fully automated mode would be an excellent idea Smithers. ================================================================ Note that because %Source% does not work with Windows 2000, the RunOnce file has to search for Run1_W2Ksp5.bat, this means having unusual file names is important. Here we install .Net 2.0 sp2, DirectX 9.0c and the hotfix that fails under nLite to integrate into the source. The order is important because KB923191 will force a system reboot, but in this case that helps us as a reboot is recommended between the installation of DirectX 9.0c and Windows Media Player 9 anyway.

To do this simply set the system to auto-logon (in step 5) as many times as required and place the appropriate number of batch files in the root directory of your install media.

The batch files will be written to support their installation if \AddOns is copied to the nLite working directory. SchTasks.exe from XP sp2 (modified to work with Windows 2000) was originally used to launch Run2_W2Ksp5.bat, so it's inclusion is a legacy item, none the less it does add advanced command line task scheduling abilities to Windows 2000.

Updated DirectX link to March 2009 version Added Windows PowerShell 1.0 to the default install (\RunOnce) Added support for the following applications: Shockwave Player plugin You need the full version Adobe Reader Lite Liposuctioned version by Shark007 / XhmikosR VMware Server 1.0.8 You need to edit Run1_XP-64.bat inserting your registration key VideoLAN Player Added more hints for using VirtualBox. 1. Silent installation of Virtual Machine extensions is supported, once VirtualBox is installed there will be a file "VBoxGuestAdditions.iso" at "\Program Files\Sun\xVM VirtualBox", copy it to \AddOns in your nLite working directory (requires 7-zip). 2. On the machine setting page you will need to enable ACPI, IO APIC and VT-x/AMD-V. 3. In order to have a usable VirtualBox when you first logon to each account you should go [start >> Control Panel >> System >> Advanced >> Performance Settings] and deselect the three options under Visual Effects that begin with "Fade ...". 4. Do not install Daemon Tools, also AutoIt scripts can be unreliable. Added optional menu reorganization for the anally retentive (like me): rem optional menu reorganization rem CMD /R %Source%AddOns\MenuReorg.bat Moves most menu items into one of 5 groups, Accessories, Applications, Drivers & Security, Media Players, Virtual Machines.

John, as I don't get the problem, I can't really help you. As I see it the only way forward is to follow the guide exactly as written, see if you still get the problem and then start diverging until you hit the error. On another note here is the code for silent install of VMware server: %Source%AddOns\VMware-server-installer-1.0.8-126538.exe /a /s /v"/qb TARGETDIR=%Temp%\VMwareServer" msiexec /I "%Temp%\VMwareServer\VMware Server Standalone.msi" ALLUSERS=1 ADDLOCAL=ALL SERIALNUMBER=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX /Passive /NoRestart rem msiexec /I "%Temp%\VMwareServer\VMware Management Interface.msi" ADDLOCAL=ALL /Passive /NoRestart msiexec /I "%Temp%\VMwareServer\VMware VmCOM Scripting API.msi" ADDLOCAL=ALL /Passive /NoRestart msiexec /I "%Temp%\VMwareServer\VMware VmPerl Scripting API.msi" ADDLOCAL=ALL /Passive /NoRestart RmDir /S /Q %Temp%\VMwareServer Obviously you will have to supply your own serial number. The VMware Management Interface is remarked out as it is not supported on XP x64 (you'll get an error). Do NOT install VMware Server within VMware Server (it will go boom once you connect the ethernet cable). As I don't have a spare real machine for testing at the moment, if anyone does use this code please post the results.

MD5 is a match. Integrating IE7 required special modifications being made within the nLite process, similarly the required modifications changed between each version of the IE8 betas. I can't see that it will hurt to allow IE8 to be out in the wild for a couple of months before adding it to the guide as that should lead to the discovery of any missed bugs and/or compatibility hiccups.

I'd suggest trying again without removing any components, KB967715 is the autorun update which affects (amongst other things) USB devices and network shares and there are some items in the removed list that (admittedly at a stretch) could affect it. I will move the guide onto IE8 when IE8 direct integration is officially supported by nLite.

Weird, KB967715 works fine for me. As for how I determine needed hotfixes, it's depressingly basic. I've created a fully unattended .iso with just IE7 & WMP11 integrated, I simply install it in VMware server and point it at Windows Update. I then check the results against this month's security releases .iso.

If you (for security reasons?) prefer not to have an account called "Administrator" then I think the easiest way would be to deactivate the account in nLite. Obviously you will need at least one Administrator class account, so set the install to auto-login to that account twice and modify the SchTasks command in Run1_W2Ksp5.bat to match the new account name and password. This is just a suggestion, I haven't tested the described scenario

As stated above "use the DriverPacks BASE program to integrate them (do not extract the .7z archives) after nLite has finished its processing, but before creating the .iso". It cannot be done before nLite makes its modifications. You'll have to give us a link to the HP/Compaq files in question.

You have extracted the DriverPacks and integrated them with nLite, this is incorrect. Rather you must use the DriverPacks BASE program to integrate them (do not extract the .7z archives) after nLite has finished its processing, but before creating the .iso (obviously).

It saves them from wondering if the process has hung. Anthonyaudi: As Johnhc noted you can add the MSRT to Run1_XP-64.bat, I don't include it for 2 reasons: 1. There's no point checking your system until you've installed all your applications & 2. Not including it allows you to check that Windows Update is working correctly. EDIT: I've uploaded Radix's fixed script for Deamon Tools lite v4303 to the eSnips page, just place it at \AddOns without renaming if you want to use the latest version.

Meowing: My best guess is some sort of sequencing problem, maybe related to the reason why using ProgramAddons is problematic (failure to register file associations being the most obvious symptom). The replies I got when querying that strange behaviour suggested that it is due to the registry not being fully formed prior to the final reboot. \$OEM$\cmdlines.txt [Commands] "rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection nLite.inf,U" \AMD64\NLITE.CM_ TimeOut /T 40 for /f "tokens=3" %%i IN ('reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup /v "SourcePath" ^| findstr "REG_SZ"') do set SOURCE=%%i CMD /R %Source%Run1_XP-64.bat "%windir%\daemon\dt410x64.exe" EXIT The "%windir%\daemon\dt410x64.exe" bit is from JohnDoe74's 2-part Daemon Tools installer, but I have to put it before Spybot: S&D in the batch file.

If people would prefer it faster, they can use sysinternals' Sync for that. Like so:%WINDIR%\sync (and then of course have it as \$OEM$\$$\sync.exe or something..) Make sure you register it, or it asks for eula acceptance. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sysinternals\Sync] "EulaAccepted"=dword:00000001 You appear to have misunderstood the TimeOut's purpose, it's not there to flush the cache. It's there to allow time for system services and other applications to fully initialise before proceeding with the next round of installations.

Well I'm back and had a great (if somewhat cold) time. While this is not the place to comment on my travels I just had to share one thing. This photo was taken on a 10 hour flight from Beijing to Sydney, the user in question was told several times to fasten his seat belt and stow his laptop for takeoff. While still climbing he pulled it out again and started gaming then settled down for a movie, when dinner came around most people would take a break, not this guy: One has to wonder if he paid for it himself.

Hello John, you're right. This problem is resolved. Do you have some ideas for: KB960714 KB958215 KB956391 ?? First two are hotfixes for IE7, the last one is Killbit hotfix. POPRZEDNIA_SESJA.INI Best regards, Looking at your preset file, you are using the IE6 rather than the IE7 specific versions of KB960714 & KB958215. Do a search under the hotfix number and use the version with a similar name to: IE7-WindowsXP-KB958215-x86-PLK.exe IE7-WindowsXP-KB960714-x86-PLK.exe
