You're welcome Probably I did some mistake, that's why this bug (not really) showed. I was wondering, maybe it's possible (how to extract this in a batch?) to rename them related to the six digit id. In case of collision (i'm thinking of the xml4 and xml3 hotfixes) add an extra letter or number. Q832353A.EXE or 832353-1.EXE. And if the name is already in 8.3 format use it when copying. This way it would generate a clean svcpack, without names like "foobar~1", better suited to tweak, comment or update manually. Just a thought, because i did rename the hotfixes and mend the svcpack manually once for clarity sake. As a quick fix (and note this will only happenned when using non critical hotfixes), maybe it could have a counter and just rename them sequentially since the resulting names are somewhat irrelevant anyway for most users. HOTFIX01.EXE, etc I'm sure you too have plenty more ideas of how to improve it, (iso with build time in name ?) but you are probaby reaching the limits of what can be done in a batch file anyway. cheers,

XPCreate can stop waiting for a overwrite confirmation (even if not visible) if in two hotfixes in different subdirs happen to generate the same SHORTNAME. For example, i had "WindowsMedia-KB832353-ENU.exe" on SVC-POS and "Windows-KB870669-x86-ENU.exe" on SVC-HF2, and since both got copied as WINDOW~1.EXE XPCreate was waiting for a Y/N/A answer to overwriting prompt when copying for some temp dir. Since this is not probably simple to resolve now, i simply rename my hotfixes to short names before xppcreate processes them. Hope you unterstood the explanation.

you really should check bartpe forum, for explorer plugins and adapt. we've been running mmc for ages now

are you using inf files ? for me, errors in inf files made the install skip the rest of the file. can i ask the obvious, are all the tweaks correct ?

make a text file beggining with [components] and AutoUpdate=On in second line. run sysocmgr /i:%systemroot%\inf\sysoc.inf /u:%systemroot%\ocremove.txt or find sysoc.inf, remove hide on autoupdate line, run optional components wizzard and reinstall

viva, want you want kind of depends on the soundcard. my suggestion grab regshot here altough I think you'll find the Paraglider version better suited. Make 1st shot, mute your sound, run 2nd shot and you got the necessary registry settings packed up in a reg file. (porreiro, não?) Use an inf or the reg anywhere you want on the install.

I guess in this case, you should use the pnp id to identify the cards. I use this program "Unknown Devices" at this page to get pnpid for Windows PE. From what i gather in documentation, in this case it should suffice the InfID parameter, with the right string, because unlike the PCI locatin it is unique. Let us know if you figure this out.

@Godfatha Why not: for %%i in ( d: e: f: g: h: i: j: k: l: m: n: o: p: q: r: s: t: u: v: w: x: y: z:) do ( if exist "%%i\WIN51" set CDROM=%%i ) Not that it really matters but never quite get it why add another file to the cd root

@SolidasRock If your second card isn't installed during setup, why bother configuring both ? Besides, ref.chm says And you have another thing going against you: If you are using InfID = * in both cards, you aren't telling setup anything useful, I think it goes like "InfID = *PNP030b", but then again, you should reread the "[params.adapter instance]" section on the help file. Disclaimer: My windows computer as only 1 adapter, so have all the workstations I did unatended or sysprep.

If is proxy during install and activation, i think it goes like this: [OobeProxy] Enable=1 Proxy_Server="proxy.example.com:port" Flags=1 Autodiscovery_Flag=0 For ie after install: [branding] BrandIEUsingUnattended=Yes [Proxy] Proxy_Enable=1 Use_Same_Proxy=1 HTTP_Proxy_Server="http://proxy.example.com:port" Proxy_Override="*.example.com;<local>"

Am I missing something here ? I just added the 3 first lines on winnt.sif, don't really know if the rest is really required, but, it works quite well, and without the use of any utlility. [Homenet] InternetConnectionFirewall = Adapter1 ShowTrayIcon = Yes [NetProtocols] MS_TCPIP=params.MS_TCPIP [params.MS_TCPIP] EnableICMPRedirect = No EnableSecurity = Yes

But it registered Windows with your name, right ? That's what it is for, not for changing builtin accounts. Add a new user at the end of the install.

@Alanoll Thanks, i'll bet on the runtimes, even though i think it pops up earlier. I know it's not the inf's or the sysocmgr and there aren't any updates either. The vbruntimes it's not a microsoft package, can't remember where did i get it. Maybe I'll just repackage it from my Bartpe plugin. I'll post my findings here, so the next person who has this problem will find an answer easier.

Hello all, I've made a very simple XP cdrom, with one "cmdlines.txt" calling a "runonceex.cmd" that adds runonceex entries. What happens is that after the first windows of runonce appears, another one pops behind it, waiting for the first one to fininsh and reruns the all thing again. Now, I know that the registry isn't duplicated, there are no other commands on "winnt.sif", i can only conlude that one of the commands is making setup run the runonceex again. cmdow @ /HID rem T-12 rem called from cmdlines.txt rem sets up runonceex @echo off SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Finishing" /f rem REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "Removing Unwanted Components" /f rem REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "sysocmgr /i:%systemroot%\inf\sysoc.inf /u:%systemroot%\ocremove.txt" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "Adding Folder and Internet Settings" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 %systemroot%\addoptions.inf" /f REG ADD %KEY%\016 /VE /D "Aplying customized settings" /f REG ADD %KEY%\016 /V 1 /D "rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 %systemroot%\settings.inf" /f REG ADD %KEY%\050 /VE /D "Installing Mozilla 1.6" /f REG ADD %KEY%\050 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\mozilla-win32-1.6-installer.exe -ms -ira" /f REG ADD %KEY%\055 /VE /D "Installing 7zip" /f REG ADD %KEY%\055 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\7z230b32.exe -y /q /r:n" /f REG ADD %KEY%\060 /VE /D "Installing Visual Basic Runtimes" /f REG ADD %KEY%\060 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\vbruntimes.exe /verysilent" /f REG ADD %KEY%\065 /VE /D "Installing Sun Java RE 1.4.2" /f REG ADD %KEY%\065 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\j2re-1_4_2_03-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v\"/qn ADDLOCAL=jrecore IEXPLORER=1 MOZILLA=1\"" /f REG ADD %KEY%\070 /VE /D "Installing Flash / Shockwave" /f REG ADD %KEY%\070 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Flash_Shockwave_Full /s" /f REG ADD %KEY%\075 /VE /D "Installing Kaazalite Codecs" /f REG ADD %KEY%\075 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\klmcodec100.exe /verysilent /loadinf=\"%systemdrive%\install\silent.inf\"" /f REG ADD %KEY%\080 /VE /D "Installing Kerio Personal Firewall" /f REG ADD %KEY%\080 /V 1 /D "msiexec /qb /i %systemdrive%\install\ISScript8.Msi" /f REG ADD %KEY%\080 /V 2 /D "msiexec /qb /i %systemdrive%\install\KerioPF.msi REBOOT=ReallySuppress" /f REG ADD %KEY%\200 /VE /D "Cleanup and reboot" /f REG ADD %KEY%\200 /V 1 /D "%systemroot%\cleanup.cmd" /f exit Can anyone help, have you seen this before ?
