thats true, you just have to copy those files to the plugins dir of firefox.

you deleted WIN51IP.SP2 in the root of the cd, didnt you?

hi, this has been discussed like 5000 times before but your thread is a good summary. thank you and welcome to msfn forums.

use the edit button and stop spamming man.

there are some important switches missing, for instance "UnattendMode". do the disc yourself using the msfn guide and dont rely too much on tools.

how about Firefox.exe -silent -nosplash -setDefaultBrowser ? firefox association works fine for me. only Thunderbird has a bug with the equivalent command Thunderbird.exe -silent -nosplash -setDefaultMail sorrowly, which makes a small window staying on the desktop. a little workaround: START /MIN %ProgramFiles%\Mozilla\Firefox\Firefox.exe -silent -nosplash -setDefaultBrowser START /MIN %ProgramFiles%\Mozilla\Thunderbird\Thunderbird.exe -silent -nosplash -setDefaultMail PING 127.0.0.1 -n 10>NUL TASKKILL /F /IM Firefox.exe TASKKILL /F /IM Thunderbird.exe in case you're asking what the PING does there. it is used to delay the batch for about 10 seconds so the apps have a timeframe to load and do their work. the taskkill for firefox isnt really needed as it quits itself but just to be sure...

by default there is no winnt.sif in any other build of wxp is it? if so it would be called every time a cd installation is started and therefore it needs to be empty and therefore it would be senseless so i guess if you place your winnt.sif in AMD64 folder everything should be fine

easiest way is to make a fake setup with iexpress.exe. use some large files. while it is compressing go to the folder you are compressing, there is a temp ddf-file. dont know if it has a ddf extension or a .tmp or whatever *g* edit: i google't around a little bit and found the following sample file on msdn: ;*** Sample Source Code MakeCAB Directive file example ; .OPTION EXPLICIT ; Generate errors .Set CabinetNameTemplate=SampleCab.cab .set DiskDirectoryTemplate=CDROM; All cabinets go in a single directory .Set CompressionType=MSZIP;** All files are compressed in cabinet files .Set UniqueFiles="OFF" .Set Cabinet=on .Set DiskDirectory1=SAMPLECAB.CAB manifest.xml WebPart1.dwp WebPartLibrary1.dll ;*** <the end> so thats the basic structure. you have to use makecab /F sample.ddf to use it but i', not sure if this will give best compression. nuhi probably knows about this from his nLite project. edit2: rem Compressing driver.cab echo .Set Cabinet=on>> driver.ddf echo .Set Compress=on>> driver.ddf echo .Set CompressionType=LZX>> driver.ddf echo .Set CompressionMemory=21>> driver.ddf echo .Set CabinetNameTemplate=driver.cab>> driver.ddf echo .Set MaxDiskSize=CDROM>> driver.ddf echo .Set DiskDirectory1=i386>> driver.ddf for /f %%i in ('dir /b i386\driver') do echo i386\driver\%%i>> driver.ddf makecab /f driver.ddf del driver.ddf del setup.inf del setup.rpt guess where it came from? ;D http://jdeboeck.msfnhosting.com/

a ddf-file which has to contain a listong of all files and some parameters for makecab

are there any techdocs from MS on this?

i guess most people dont realize that the /integrate on hotfixes is nothing else than an automation of the SVCPACK.inf method. no files are replaced when using, it just creates the file and folderstructure and copies the kb******.exe file to svcpack folder. the hotfixes are called at T13, you can verify this very easily using shift+f10 and the tasklist command.

hm... interesting. the descrption of the hotfix doesnt sound if it is bound to a specific language. can anyone with a german version make a clean install of xpsp2 without hotfixes and check this?

nope, sorrowly not. i'm just deploying a handfull tweaks for IE since i use firefox as my primary browser but none in the toolbar subkey. this thing makes my cracy. i dont know where it came from as it was there from one day to another.

you can see windows update and hfnetchk.exe with no needed updates and you can see the the add/remove software dialogue displaying the updates installed. and these are the entries in my svcpack.inf: [SetupHotfixesToRun] dotnet11.exe KB867282.exe /q /n /z KB873333.exe /q /n /z KB873339.exe /q /n /z KB885250.exe /q /n /z KB885836.exe /q /n /z KB886185.exe /q /n /z KB888113.exe /q /n /z KB888302.exe /q /n /z KB890175.exe /q /n /z KB891781.exe /q /n /z KB890830.exe /q

KB885835 is not needed anymore. test it with a clean install of xpsp2 without hotfixes.

hm, thought already nobody would know. i found out that every time i enable quick launch bar the problem occurs. it's no differnce if it is enabled by a regfile or manually. if i disable quick launch the problem is gone. but i need quick launch any ideas now?

Hi folks, I'm currently experiencing a very strange problem. A screenshot: My Windows Explorer displays the Window Title of the Internet Explorer. It has to be caused by a regtweak but I have no idea which. I did an unattended install on Saturday where this problem doesn't exist and now it is there. I haven't changed my regtweaks since then and checked them a lot of times now. Nothing helped. Does anyone have a clue?

after deleting the svcpack.inf and reintegrating all hotfixes there was no problem with 885250. i made a clean install of sp2 to find out which hotfixes are really needed and came to the following list: KB891781 KB890175 KB888302 KB888113 KB886185 KB885836 KB885250 KB873339 KB873333 KB867282 KB890830 no other updates show up on windows update as neccessary

i have the same problem with KB867282 and KB885250. i guess they wont integrate because of some files being ripped by nLite and/or slimdown batches as i can install them on a current sp2 system without any problem.

home -> changelog - 404 - fixed home -> sitemap - 404 - fixed - soon beginning users -> step 1 -> manual way - why is there a picture of the servicepack extracting when you copy over files from a cd? fixed beginning users -> step 2 -> manual way - why did you shrink those two messagebox at the very end and linked it? guess for saving space but it looks awfull fixed intermediate users -> methods of install -> runonceex - there's just a C in the headline of the page - fixed intermediate users -> device drivers -> drivers from cd : 1) you mentioned only that the drivers dont have to be part of the $OEM$ structure but maybe it is necessary to mention that the advantage of the drivers from cd is gone if you put it into $OEM$ as this would copy the drivers to hdd again 2) the download for SETUP.EX_ does not work fixed 3) in the explanation "expand C:\XPCD\SETUP.EX_ C:\XPCD\SETUPORG.EXE" doesnt it has to be C:\XPCD\I386\SETUP.EX_ or C:\XPCD\AMD64\SETUP.EX_ or whatever system strcuture you're installing on? fixed 4) the string to search for in txtsetup.sif is not "setup.exe = 100,,,,,,,2,0,0,,1,2" but "setup.exe = 100,,,,,,,2,0,0,,1,2" - different number of spaces. if i search for the pattern from the guide it wont find anything. maybe thats not so good for beginning intermediate users edit: ah, d**n, the forum removes useless whitespaces. so just check it in your txtsetup.sif. intermediate users -> applications -> office -> advanced - be sure to keep the list of hotfixes updated as it will be outdated soon. maybe you should just describe the usage of msi patch once and then refer to the office update thread in the forum as you did with windows hotfixes. but thats just my opinion. intermediate users -> applications -> install systems (inno, installshield, nsis, etc.) - keep the style of linking pictures from the rest of the pages for those pages, too. just cosmetic, no errors or something. advanced users -> advanced methods of install -> introduction - the pictures are squeezed terribly. make the thumbnails better (bilinear or bicubic resizing) and keep the aspect ratio. reference -> downloads - there is no whitespace between the links for wmp9 and wmp10 - fixed all in all a very good and needed update. keep up the good work. one thing that i dont feel so comfortable with is the window style on the screenshot. i guess its your favorite theme but for the guide i guess it would be better if the screenshots were taken with windows classic look. this saves some space on the pictures and compresses them better as there arent so many color fadings. again this is cosmetic and perhaps just my feeling. did aaron have no time anymore to maintain the site or why did he give the job away? just for interest

be sure to set the options to store its settings in a ini file.

to apply HKEY_CURRENT_USER tweaks to all users on your system you have to apply them at T12. check out the guide at unattended.msfn.org as it is described there.
