I am having exactly the same problem! Have created a setup disc using 64 bit home premium which installs silenlty from start to finish but trying to install applications causes an error which shuts down the computer. I am using the methods outlined in firegeier's Vista unattended guide. Can anybody help?

Program Files(x86) is for 32 bit apps that get emulated as 64 bit apps and the other Program Files folder is for native 64 bit apps. It's done so that all 32 bit apps can still be run.

Using winnt.sif with the 32 bit version of Windows it is possible to use [unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS UnattendSwitch=Yes WaitForReboot = No DriverSigningPolicy = ignore NonDriverSigningPolicy = ignore ProgramFilesDir = "D:\Program Files" to change the Program Files Directory to partition D. There is no mention of this switch in the 64 bit version for winnt.sif. Is there a way of changing the registry entries from "ProgramFilesDir=C:\Program Files" to "ProgramFilesDir=D:\Program Files" before runonceex runs to install apps so they go to the D:\ partition? All attempts at getting regedit to add registry entries with updated drive letters has failed to make any difference so far. I don't know at what point in an unattended install to do it at.

Download the Windows (Offline Installation) version of Java from http://java.com/en/download/windows_xpi.jsp start the installation as usual. Accept the licence agreement and then look for the following files at C:\Documents and Settings\ <Your User name will be here> \Local Settings\Application Data\{3248F0A6-6813-11D6-A77B-00B0D0150050} (these numbers and letters are purely random so will be anything). Note: The Application Data folder is hidden unless you use Control Panel-->Folder Options-->View-->Show hidden folders and files) In this folder will be two files called 1033.MST and J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 5.msi Save these files to another folder in your unattended setup. Start the installation using c:\folder name\J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 5.msi /qb

Open config.ini with Wordpad at the top of the file is this: [General] ; Run Mode values: ; Normal - Shows all dialogs. Requires user input. ; Auto - Shows some dialogs, but none requiring user input. It will ; automatically install the product using default values. ; Silent - Show no dialogs at all. It will install product using default ; values. Run Mode=Normal Just change Run Mode=Normal to Run Mode=Silent and save the file. Job done.

Running Windows Update after installation all these updates are shown has ready to be installed. Does this mean the updates have not integrated or do I need to somehow register the updates has already being installed? Hopefully somebody can help me out with this

Just installed Shockwave silently using mm_fl_sw_installer.msi /quiet /passive with Firefox. Worked no problem

Try this MCE powertoy. It has an option to set how many seconds rewind and fast forward work at. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en

There is a guide here to create a bootable CD... http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=249 there's a link to the boot sector image file you will need as well, it uses Nero to create the disc which may be easier to use than the app you are currently using
