This tool (AutoIt script) is for quickly creating unattended Windows CD’s It might be useful if you create unattended CD’s with different configurations frequently. Features: - allows to select which software/drivers/registry settings to add to CD (selected items will be installed automatically, of course) - allows to create multiple answer files on CD Actually, better look at screenshots to see what it can do. Choose configuration to use (you can create them yourself): Select options: Select items: Create answer files: CD Boot menu: Tool itself: http://www.freewebtown.com/kenedy/CDBuilder/CDBuilder.zip It’s not working “out-of-the-box”, you have to provide all information about drivers/software etc. first. All configuration is stored in ini files. Might be buggy, I changed a lot of code this weekend (to make it more easy to use) Known bugs: If only one type of drivers is selected (e.g. only LAN drivers), OemPnPDriversPath string is not created correctly If you put CDBuilder very deep in directory structure, SETUPLDR’s are not created and booting do not work. “Desktop” is fine, deeper is not.

RyanVM Microsoft didn't blacklisted any keys in SP2. Anything working in SP1 will work on SP2 too.

>>can SAV9 be used as a stand-alone "home" version? Sure. But its not really meant to - smallest number of licences you can buy is 10 (if I remember right). >>I would like to use it (MUCH easier for Unattended installs), but I have to know that it is both AS POWERFUL, and EASILY UPDATED as norton. Yes to both. And I like it much better than NAV.

Genious!!! Minesweeper, Solitare With menu to select which one

Seems to me that everything you are doing is correct. At least it works for me. Only difference I see is that you use drivers from DELL. Try downloading this driver and extract everything under \pro2kxpm\PRO1000\WS03XP2K folder to i386 (WinZip/WinRar can open that file) http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df...e&ProductID=401

So, are you getting initial PXE boot screens (password/domain prompt, image selection)? If yes, then RIS is working fine. WindowsXP just have no driver for that network adapter, so right after PXE Boot phase - error message is displayed.

Not possible. Make ISO file from that disk and make password protecded archive from that ISO file.

Putting network adapter drivers in i386 folder is enough to make text-mode setup running. OemDriversPath is for GUI mode. Try to put all driver files in i386 folder, not just sys and inf. Also you can try driver from Intel (from personal experience - they work good with RIS).

NtfsDos uses some kind of memory manager (don't remember which one). Windows setup uses another. They are not compatible. Run into that problem when I wanted to create bootable CD with antivirus that could access NTFS partitions. Possible solution - create small FAT32 partition for that purpose.

As far as I know [DiskConfig] is for winbom.ini, not for winnt.sif And it requres WinPE.

Windows setup can't create multiple partitions automatically, editing any files won't give you anything. Just as you said - first boot to winpe/bartpe. Then launch diskpart script and then launch setup.

Like this? copy "c:\Install\Application\ABC\AAA" "c:\programs\ABC" /y

So, where's the problem? Documentation on diskpart: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documen...s/diskpart.mspx Commands you need for your script are: select disk create partition assign letter active

I dont think any of these programs can help. Windows setup needs to read files from that CD therefore they cant be encoded. Even if you make creating ISO impossible, just copying files will work. RIS is good solution. Or some other way that uses network, like putting all software/regtweaks/additional commands to network disk and using it during unattended.

>>is there a command like /silent for the uninstallers? There are different unistallers. Wise uninstaller have /s switch. Don't know about others, but possibly they have some switch to.

Uninstall commands are stored here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall Look for "UninstallString" for each application you want to uninstall and put it in your .bat file.

>>Bashrat the sneakies massstorage This one is making changes to txtsetup.sif Maybe try looking in drivers forum. Or restore txtsetup from old version and try adding mass storage drivers again.

Mine is 21000 lines Have you added text mode storage drivers? Or anything else that modify txtsetup.sif?

MS Word have feature "Go To" Or open it in Excel, or SciTe (thats what i use) editor - it shows line numbers in the left. I had that problem once and the line it didnt like was "=" (my mistake)

Well, post line number 32768 from your file here.

>>bah didnt see that, did you edit your post? Yes >>btw shoudn't "Aviable" be "Available"? Heh, can't get it right. It's the second time i misspelled it.

From page 3:

Nologic You can use Select/Case/EndSelect for that. Pretty foolproof. To show what I mean: I dont have any of my scripts around but it shoud look something like this. Lets say we have an installation program with four dialog windows: Start, Select Folder, Install, End While 1 Select Case WinExists ( "Start" ) = 1 Commands WinWaitClose ( "Start" ) Case WinExists ( "Select Folder" ) = 1 Commands WinWaitClose ( "Select Folder" ) Case WinExists ( "Install" ) = 1 Commands WinWaitClose ( "Install" ) Case WinExists ( "End" ) = 1 Commands Exit Case Else EndSelect Sleep (1000) Wend

Great, Ill just download it from the post above, here on page 3 right? Right.

egil Ok, I uploaded new version of 1.0beta and added comments.
