can anyone just post the file i can't get it to work for the life of me.

gotcha, i tried the full path in the winnt.sif file for my theme and it's still not loading. i'm a forget about themes... thanks again for the help!

windows won't except two users with the excact same name. ie. Administrator.

yea i gave the winnt.sif full path to the theme a shot and i didn't work. however, my wallpaper is loading with the classic theme, which is good enough for me!!! w00t w00t, thanks again everyone, if anyone has anymore ideas for the them i'd sure like to hear em, i'll try them out...

.reg files do not accept variables. It has to be the full path. this was the problem... i added the full path, and it worked like a charm ... i had the wallpaper as a bmp and with the full path it showed. THANKS DarkBringer for finding that out, i would have never known reg's can't take variables. and thanks for everyone elses help too! now does anyone know what else can and cannot take variables? can the winnt.sif have variables pointing to the theme? i dunno either, i'm going to point it to the full path and give my theme a shot right now, i'll report back with results... thanks again!

changed it to bmp and still it didnt work... i'' put in the full path now...

With no value set. Thanx Did changing this have any positive effect? if so what did you add?

still didn't work... and i'm not sure i did this correctly, could someone correct my work... heres what i did: in cmdlines.txt i added: "regedit /s figs.reg" then in figs.reg i added: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "Wallpaper"="%systemroot%\\system32\\qube.jpg" [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop] "Wallpaper"="%systemroot%\\system32\\qube.jpg" i also made sure i have the wallpaper in this folder: $OEM$\$$\System32\qube.jpg and still nothing.... what i have at first boot, it the blue background. if i click themes to see what i have, it's modified theme, and the preview shows what i want. the classic look with my wallpaper. i click cancel, let it shutdown and reboot, and still the same thing. if i goto select the wallpaper, my qube.jpg it selected, so if i just click OK and not make any changes, it will show my qube.jpg thanks for everyones help... this sounds like this is a hard one to fix, and if there's no more answers i understand and thanks again...

yes i have i added them in you can see in the .rar file i attached earlier, i also wanted to make it clear that there is two different things going on it this post, first theres just the theme getting that to work OR just getting the wallpaper to load. am i right? or does all this info loop together? and also if they are differnt can i have all these entrys in my files? will they screw each other up? edit: actually they arn't in the .rar file because i added them and it didn't work, so i took them out... i'm a try again right now... Jotnar says to just add the wall paper in system32 directly... not into /web/wallpaper? i'm a try it... i'll report back in a few....

Ight.... I made those changes to the theme file... But to get to the root of the problem its not the theme that isn't loading corretly, its just getting the theme to load AT ALL. I mean I'm getting the modified them that looks like windows classic with the blue wallpaper, and i can goto themes and select my QubeClassic and it loads fine wallpaper, icons, colors... after I select it. But NEVER on first boot. any more ideas...

Tried what you got there.... and nothing.... I made sure all the paths are correct and still nothing... i even got another UXTheme.dll from the cosmtic thread. it changed my logon picture to a rocket... lol but nothing else seams to work i have attached a winrar file that has all my customized files if anyone wants to help... i dunno what to do... give up? NEVER!!! thanks for you guys's help so far.... ps i keep the dir structure for the $OEM$ folder... took out all the large files, but the main ones are there... thanks again!! _OEM_.rar

I have this in my winnt.sif does it make a difference if u have %systemroot% or %windir% ?? about to try it thought... [Shell] CustomDefaultThemeFile="%Systemroot%\Resources\Themes\QubeClassic.theme" DefaultStartPanelOff = Yes

bump

evilvoice, i changed my shutdown time to two minutes, i looks like windows completely loads and no theme is applied, even after the reboot theres no theme, just "modified theme" :/

to evilvoice: i put the shutdown time at 2mins, and still didn't apply my theme, even after the reboot. to DarkBringer: yes my wallpaper is there... to Jotnar: your tip would be applied at the cmdlines.cmd ?? just copy and paste in there with the correct path? to flattspott: themes for me arn't working either... to All: I'm either trying to get a theme to work, with some customized icons and the wallpaper, or the other option i want the classic look with a wallpaper. please help.

Yea I went through my reg I don't see anything, if you or anyone has a few minutes could you read through and see if you see anything that would stop a visual theme from showing on first boot.

no idea here, but i'm getting the same problem....

thanks for your help but i have that already in my winnt.sif [Shell] CustomDefaultThemeFile="%Systemroot%\Resources\Themes\QubeClassic.theme" DefaultStartPanelOff = Yes do i have to have these exact settings for it to work? DefaultStartPanelOff=No DefaultThemesOff=No or will just this is whats calling to for the theme? CustomDefaultThemeFile="%Systemroot%\Resources\Themes\QubeClassic.theme" i searched my regtweak.reg file for any other settings that i might have set that could possibly over ride this command but cant find any... you have any suggestions?

Scanstate can only be run on Windows NT 4, Windows 95, and Windows 98. Loadstate can only be run on Windows 2000. :/

lucky you i can't get my theme to show on first boot at all... i checked everything end over end, it will show if i goto themes and select it myself... but thats not unattended... any one HELP

could u post your setup.iss file here, i tried and tried but i can't locate the setup.iss on my system...

bump

There are a few setups to make this seamless and easy 1) Copy the entire CD to a Network Share 2) do a normal install of the application on one machine with the following commandline: setup -R setup.iss This will give you your installshield response file. Complete the activation process. Next go into the registry and export the following keys HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Macromedia ----> save as importme.reg HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Macrovision -----> save as macrovision.reg 3) Create bat file called setup.bat with the following inside: start /wait Setup.exe -s -f1 "setup.iss" Call .\activate.bat end Create another batch file called activate.bat Inside add the following: ** Note: This points to wherever your "All Users" Profile\ information goes ** md "%All Users%\Application data\Macrovision\Safecast\Product License\" copy .\*.dat "%All Users%\Application data\Macrovision\Safecast\Product License\" ** Note: The xxxxx.dat file is a hidden file located in this directory structure on the hard drive. So turn on show hidden folders and files ** regedit /s "importme.reg" regedit /s "macrovision.reg" Have the five files setup.bat, setup.iss,activate.bat, importme.reg, activate.reg all located whereever you copied your dreamweaver MX 2004 CD to on the network. Run the setup.bat and the rest will silently take care of itself. You should be able to use this same process to do Fireworks, just modify the folder structure and Registry keys. *****************************NOTE:****************************** You need to have a LEGAL License for EACH MACHINE that you run this on. This is just to save the headache of going to the website on every machine for your site license". I am not in the business of helping hackers!!!!!! *****************************NOTE:****************************** Ex. My client has a 200 user site license for this application. That's a lot of extra work to activate each license one at a time. This way, the license it activated on the initial setup. ***************************************************************** could some one please post their setup.iss file for the installshield from dreamweaver... i installed like everyone says command line dream.exe -R setup.iss but i can't find the file i searched and searched, i dunno where it puts it, c:\windows ? it's not there... please help...

more info on modified theme and why it shows would be good, i'm getting the same problem... please help... i searched and searched, i found this thread....

same problem here too.... my custom themeshows up in the themes list after install, i can even select it and it works, but i want it to show on first boot, have the correct reg keys and settings told to me by gosh, i just can't get it to load,,, and ideas? i could post my files if someone thinks they could help...
