Ok, I see we're on the same page I just wanted to clarify how unattended your partitioning was. I also use a designated partition for the OS and program files, it's seems to be a good practice, especially for those who use imaging backup. Makes reinstallation simplier either. If I need to partition the dirve, I boot into Acronis Partition Expert, do the job, then reboot into unattended install. I'm not really into installations from WinPE (thanks for the link, though). I do use BartPE (XPE, in fact), but I consider it more like a rescue platform. It also has a bunch of partitioning tools just in case So my primary interest in this discussion was in the title of the thread. Multiboot is a totally different story and the board has a separate forum for that. P.S. Didn't check your link on cdshell, as I use BCDW

Try list.cmd @echo off FOR /F "usebackq eol=! tokens=2*" %%i IN (`REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows XP\SP3"`) do for /F "tokens=3* delims=\" %%l IN ("%%i") do echo %%l>>list.txt exit

What if they had been installed without uninstall option? You can get the list of installed hotfixes from the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\

Many people don't like frames. I'm one of them If you go with frames, make sure the pages are displayed ok in IE, FF and Opera.

Surprisingly few volunteers I can help with the tweaks, if needed. I'd take them from the attached file in the sticky thread in this forum And I'd like to know how quickly you need to fill up the DB. I don't have much free time, maybe an hour a day. So I'll step out if more dedicated members show up in this thread.

bilemke Correct me, if I'm wrong. What you're talking here is multiboot in a. Windows Setup b. Partitioning tool First you boot into the partitioning tool, do whatever partitioning/formatting you need, then reboot and boot into Windows Setup. There's nothing new here, unless you completely automate the process and partition the drive with some predefined paramaters (i.e. 20 gb primary partition + an extended partition for the rest of the space).

I'm with djbe. http://unattended.msfn.org/advanced/methods/intro.htm

I think we're allowed to ask why you need to run a file at exactly this moment.

To avoid such a thing simply save as "winnt.sif" with the quotation marks.

You can put them anywhere, just launch the REG file from any batch file. If you use wpi, there are two lines: Reg before or reg after (or something like that). You can use either one to specify the path to the file.

Thanks for your support, prathapml I'm not sure if such mod exist. I searched for notification in subjects in relevant forums at http://forums.ipbhelpers.com http://www.php-scripting.us http://forums.invisionize.com/ and came up with nothing. I've seen similar requests, though. However, it can be done. I've found one solution at a Russian board. The author suggests editing .\sources\post.php around the line 580. He got two pieces of code in the post (before and after). I don't know PHP, it's all Greek to me

Just read the first post on page seven from tbe beginning, and you'll find out how to get rid of the message. You'll need the recent virus defs anyway, correct? You don't have to repack the whole package in order to update definitions. If 10 mb of space is not an issue, you can get an intelligent updater and open it in WinRar and change one line in the comment from Setup=wrap32.exeto Setup=updater.exe /qOr you can just unpack the SFX, extract updater.exe and run it with /q.

Hello, All! I've noticed that the new board engine allows members to subscribe to a thread and receive all posted messages. One doesn't have to visit the board in order to receive such notifications. I'm suggesting the template change, so the notification subject includes the forum name and the thread title. People who follow a lot of threads will be able to sort the messages with filters and use threaded view. I'll be more specific. The current notification format is Suggested format (proposed changes in red) Having the thread title in the subject allows people to use the threaded view, and the forum name in the subject enables filtering to different folders based on the forum names. I don't know how to accomplish the template change. I just hope it's possible. If people express interest in the change, the board admins may want to look into it. Thanks for your attention.

Dude, I posted just two sentences. Can't you read them? forzone*

Try searching in the thread titles for the s/w titles you mentioned. Your efforts will be well rewarded.

Oh, I see now. That makes sense. BTW, nice batch file

I'm not sure if you understand me correctly. My point is: improt HKCU tweaks at T-12 (cmdlines.txt) and they will apply to all users, because at that moment the tweaks get imported into the Default User profile. It's the same as loading the Default User registry hive and editing it prior to creating new users. Well, in some cases HKCU tweaks may not "stick" when applied at T-12. Are you saying this is the case with doscan.exe prevention? Have you tried importing at T-12?

sleepnmojo is correct. No need to mess with HKU. One can run the following commands from a batch file at T-12 and perevent doscan.exe from running upon the completion of SAV installation. reg add "HKCU\Software\Intel\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion\Custom Tasks" /v CreatedUserQuickScan /t REG_DWORD /d 0x1 /f reg add "HKCU\Software\Intel\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion\Custom Tasks" /v CopiedDefaultScanOptions /t REG_DWORD /d 0x1 /f Alternatively, one can import PreventStartScan.reg provided by Symantec at T-12. Either way the settings will apply to all users.

I'm not a customizing geek. No shell replacements and fancy icons for me. TotalCommander is my shell Nevertheless, let me post what I've got for June. (click to enlarge, 275 kb) Wallpaper Visual Style - Chaninja Style RC5 [sliding] Bar on top - Windows PowerPro (not as fancy as Objectdock or other yz bars, but sliding bars is just 0.1 % of PowerPro functionality with under 1mb of RAM usage; don't be fooled with simplistic screenshots on the official web site, this proggy is for real power users)

My 2c. Like other members stated, looking into other scripts can be useful. I've learned the method below from some script posted on the board, and it works just fine in RunOnceEx. Both the script and the app setup file go in the same dir. RunOnceEx contains REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\PROGRAMS\script.exe setup.exe" /f and the script begins with Run ($CmdLine[1]) In other words, run the compiled script with a parameter that matches the application setup file name and then use this parameter in the script. Actually, the tecnique is described in Running Scripts section of the manual.

daniel2earth This is the list of locale IDs. According to the list the Dutch locale is 0413, and you've got this. So, your section should look something like [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup = 1 SystemLocale=00000413 UserLocale=00000413 InputLocale=0409:00000409,0413:00000413 As a result you'll have (line by line) Western languages support (not neccessary as it's installed by default anyway) Language for non-Unicode programs - Dutch Standards and Formats - Dutch Keyboard layouts enabled: English and Dutch. The former will be the default one for entering user passwords and/or upon logon.
