Hi. I am using Vista x64 SP1 as native system on my PC. I've just found out that it is something wong with it because when I install any WAIK on virtualized system (VMWare), everything is OK.

This is from WAIK v1.1: 23:02 : 23:02 : Windows System Image Manager execution failed. 23:02 : 23:02 : System.Reflection.TargetParameterCountException: Parameter count mismatch. at System.Windows.Forms.Control.MarshaledInvoke(Control caller, Delegate method, Object[] args, Boolean synchronous) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.Invoke(Delegate method, Object[] args) at Microsoft.ComponentStudio.Common.ErrorReporting.ShowErrorConfirmation(Form owner, String message, Exception ex, String caption, MessageBoxButtons buttons, MessageBoxDefaultButton defaultButton, String servicingPath) at Microsoft.ComponentStudio.CatalogGenerator.CreateCat(ProgressDialog pd, Object o) at Microsoft.ComponentStudio.Controls.ProgressDialog.ThreadProc() at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state) at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart() WAIK for WIN 7 RC freezes and does not do anything.

I have a copy of Vista x64 SP2 from MSDN but I cannot use WAIK to configure it. WAIK gives me some errors and do not want to read any MSDN Vista SP2 images. Vista SP1 is OK. I tryed WAIK v1.1 and version for Win 7 RC too. What to do? Thank you.

When I setup diskquota on disk C, I can see that 1GB of data are owned by SID with unknown user account. I know only SID of that account. How can I find all the files owned by that SID? Thank you.

Hi. At first I must say I am pretty new to Vista. 1. I use many long passwords in many situations at work on my Vista PC. I use KeePass as passwords storage. But I have many problems to copy and paste these long passwords in many windows dialogs. It is simply impossible and I must type them manualy what is very frustrating for me. Is there any way to copy and paste passwords into Vista's dialogs? 2. I have checked 'Remember each folder's view settings' option in 'Folder Options' of 'Control Panel' but Vista does not remember my folder's views many times and sets them in very strange ways. Is it Vista's problem? I have fresh installed Vista Ultimate annd do not have any problems with my PC. Thank you for any help.

Hi. Do you know any Vista file association handler? The best way would be some free utility. The default control panel for this thing is very poor. Thank you.

I've found out the problem. I've exchanged INTEL INF sources. The wrong version v9.0.0.1008 WHQL was used. There are two unsigned inf files in that version.

INTEL INF v8.4.0.1016 WHQL tryed also v8.7.0.1007. INTEL RAID v7.8.0.1012 MARVELL NIC v10.57.3.3 ASUS ACPI v1043.4.0.0 Later I will add some more drivers.

Drivers are all official WHQL with .cat files. I used them in my one week older integration project and everything was correct. Only differnce bettween these two projects is that the hotfixes are integrated in the newer one but not in the older.

It is Vista Ultimate x64. I can see next screen:

When I install vLited Vista Ultimate with integrated hotfixes and drivers I can see during installation a red window where it is written that there are non valid signatures on some drivers. I can install them or not. But I cannot see which drivers have invalid signatures and why. How can I find out these problematic drivers?

I've never noticed this line in cmdlines.txt, do I need it? What does it do? "rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection nLite.inf,nLiteReg" But when I nlited wxp x64, that line was not inserted in my cmdlines.txt. Thank you.

I use now three RunOnceEx files. The first two files have the same title and there is no problem with it.

So as I think you want to have two seasons of RunOnceEx. The first season runs OK at the very first boot after system installation. But you want to reboot your PC one more time and second RunOnceEx season never runs. Am I correct? If you install IE7 trough RunOnceEx, it breaks the second RunOnceEx season at next boot. If you are doing this, the workaroud is in link I've posted before. Or, pleas, post here the most important parts of your installation files.

Hi. I think you should read this thread: IE7 RunOnceEx problem solved! Finally!, Yes, you can install IE 7 and its Hotfixes via RunOnceEx!. There you should find the right method to solve your problem. Post No.58 is decribing working solution. If that thread is not speaking about your problem, try to be more specific when you describe your issues.

Try read this thread from the first post one more time and you will find functional solution. You should carefully read 'rajesh.kumar' post n.58 in this thread. He is explaining there the right workaround method. There are missing quotes in your 'restart command', it should be: REG ADD %KEY%\999 /V 2 /D "shutdown.exe -r -f -t 60 -c \"Windows XP will now restart in 1 minute..\"" /f And do not forget the backslashes.

I've just tested your solution and it is fully functional. Good work.

I've tryed it with corrected syntax with no success. The second boot does not install anything. Corrected samples of my files... RunOnceEx.cmd: ... REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx /V Flags /T REG_DWORD /D 0x80 /F ... REG ADD %KEY%019 /VE /D "MS Internet Explorer v7" /f REG ADD %KEY%019 /V 1 /D "%SystemDrive%\install\MsAddons\IExplorer7\IE7.exe /quiet /passive /norestart" /f ... REG ADD %KEY%105 /V 1 /D "%SystemDrive%\install\RunOnceEx2.cmd" /f exit RunOnceEx.cmd: SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx /V Flags /T REG_DWORD /D 0x80 /F REG ADD %KEY%900 /V 1 /D "%SystemDrive%\install\Hotfixes_2\IE7_Hotfixes.cmd" /f REG ADD %KEY%910 /V 1 /D "%SystemDrive%\install\CleanUp.cmd" /f exit Registry entries are correctly imported but flag is missing and no executables are started after the second boot. P.S. When I send message to this forum it removes some symbols from my post and I cannot correct it. So it seems that there are some mistakes in my code listings but there are no in files on my PC. It removes some slashes and zeroes. Do you know how to correct it?

I've tryed everything what was said in this thread but nothing was successful.

Hi. I have some problems installing IE7 hotfixes via RunOnceEx. My first RunOnceEx season runs with no problems, then PC restarts but next RunOnceEx season does not run on next boot. 1. The first RunOnceEx season installs IE7 and other stuff (RunOnceEx.cmd - adds registry entries). 2. The second RunOnceEx season should install IE7 hotfixes and clean PC (RunOnceEx2.cmd - adds registry entries). 3. IE7_Hotfixes.cmd installs hotfixes Sample of RunOnceEx.cmd: ... SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V FLAGS /D "dword:0x00000080" /f REG ADD %KEY11 /VE /D "MS .NET Framework v1.1 SP1" /f REG ADD %KEY11 /V 1 /D "%SystemDrive%\install\MsAddons\NETFrame\NET11\netfx.exe" /f ... REG ADD %KEY12 /VE /D "MS .NET Framework v3.0" /f REG ADD %KEY%012 /V 1 /D "%SystemDrive%\install\MsAddons\NETFrame\NET3\netfx.exe /q /norestart" /f ... REG ADD %KEY19 /VE /D "MS Internet Explorer v7" /f REG ADD %KEY19 /V 1 /D "%SystemDrive%\install\MsAddons\IExplorer7\IE7.exe /passive /update-no /nobackup /norestart" /f ...

When I open RunOnceEx key in HKLM\... registry path I can see imported strings for IE7 hotfixes but they are not functional. Pleas help. Thank you. P.S. My code is a little corrupted and I cannot repair it. It is OK on my PC.

1. I have just installed many hotfixes to my fresh WXP Pro SP2 EN. But I have big problem to do so with last 25 fixes. I run KBxxxxxx but installation process never ends. It stops at 'inspecting system' or at 'making restore point' as I can see on my screen. Sometimes installing one hotfix is successful but next one not. In taskmanager I can see KBxxxxxx proces that has 0% CPU time, update process with 0% CPU time and one of svchosts has 100% CPU time. It can last for hours without any result. Restarting PC does not help. 2. My second problem is with hotfixes integration. When I try to integrate more than 200 hotfixes, installation process never goes over t39. Is there any way to fix these "bugs", at least the first one. I don't want reinstal the whole system. Pleas, help me. Thank you.

Thanks.

I am sorry I've missed that forum.

Pleas, can anyone tell me how to make unattended installation of Eset NOD32 v2.12? Thank you.
