If there are no applications in your Startup folder, this registry key should be empty, so I don't understand your problem?

If I understand correctly you have an unattended CD. You would like to add Office to it as well, but you do not want the whole installation folder of Office to be copied to the hard disk first like with $OEM$, before starting the automatic installation. You could add a folder to your unattended CD and use RunOnceEx to install Office silently directly of your unattended CD. For a short guide on RunOnceEx, click here.

Why make it so complicated? I install both my silent Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 and 2.0 packages via SVCPACK.INF, followed by several applications which require these two packages. I install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 via RunOnceEx and it all works like a charm.

-q works like a charm for me as well on the latest Azureus installer... I still prefer uTorrent however

This thread belongs in the Software Hangout, please ask a moderator to move your thread. But to reply to your question, it all depends on what you want to be able to do and achieve with your virtual environment. VMware Workstation is for example a great tool, but costs money. Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 is available free of charge and although it can achieve less than VMware Workstation, it's more than sufficient enough for my needs. Virtual Box by Innotek is another application which is available free of charge, but personally I don't use it as I can't connect it to my wireless network due to limitations in the software.

No, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 does include Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, but it does not include Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1.

It doesn't really look like you're looking for an undelete or recovery tool, but for a backup utility.

... unless you start the installation file and supply additional parameters to point to the unattended file. You could include a batch script in your I386 folder which runs the installation file and the right parameters for you, which you could then launch instead of the normal setup file.

I don't quite understand your problem or why you would want to do this. Couldn't you simply just replace the INI-file completely?

You could use $OEM$ for adding wallpapers and you could make a custom installation package for instance for adding the fonts. Use fontinst.exe in your package for installing the fonts. You can find it somewhere on this forum.

What were you expecting; this thread is almost two years old!

Can't download it from the "stickied" thread; link is down ;(

What this does is also change the registry, except you do it using a graphical interface Anyway, if you remove certain registry keys, they should not reappear. If they do, something is placing them back. Apperantly then you have software installed which restores the language bar. To permanently disable it, use the following REG-file. If the language bar still reappears, you will need to see what software you have installed which could make it reappear. [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{540D8A8B-1C3F-4E32-8132-530F6A502090}] @="Language bar" "MenuTextPUI"="@%SystemRoot%\System32\msutb.dll,-325"

And to add to the above question, what is the installer made with/what type of installer is it? For example: Inno Setup, Nullsoft, et cetera.

Microsoft Shared Computer Toolkit might be an idea for you. I believe it's renamed though, but you should be able to find it using this name too.

Yes, click here. Next time please search though as this is simply mentioned in the Unattended Guide.

Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1

My first thought: a virus.

I don't quite understand your question. Please write it again, but in different words, but use capital letters, comma's, periods, et cetera, to make it readable.

I use DriverPacks myself, but can't quite find which utility it uses...?

An image is always bound to certain hardware, so the image won't work on all machines you deploy it to. It would be better to make an unattended installation. Unattended installations are not hardware bound because, as the name already suggests, it installs instead of restores an image. You can use standard, free Microsoft tooling to create unattended setups. If you want to make an "advanced" unattended installation, look into HFSLIP and DriverPacks. Click here for a good starting point on making unattended setups. Good luck!

Perhaps you can better post your questions in the Windows PE thread?

The topic starter requests Windows Update/Microsoft Update/Office Update installer packages if I understand correctly. You're suggesting updates for Windows and Office, but that's not what the topic starter is looking for I believe. For the topic starter, if I understand correctly anyway, I suggest that you use HFSLIP. You can use it to integrate all the before mentioned "web site packages" (don't know what else to call them) using HFSLIP. See the HFSLIP web site as well where it's all written out. If I misunderstood however, feel free to let me know so that I can still give a proper reply.

Configure your wireless connection manually. At the same time, take a look at the posted AutoIt script and compare what you do manually to what the script does. Does your manual configuration work? Does it match the actions as written in the posted AutoIt script? If the answer to both questions is "yes", then it should work.
