It looked to me as if you could just download the file in the last post, and install it with those switches.

It was done with WU5 a while ago, I don't know if it's the same update with WU6 apparently it's also possible with WU6.

The uxtheme.dll is not language dependant, I have used an English uxtheme.dll on a Dutch XP SP2 installation before. I don't know which bytes are edited, because I would do it myself then, but you can find a few uxtheme.dlls for different languages here:

only the images are replaced, not the dlls with the strings, so it should work for all languages.

- Ofcourse the unattended files would be created beforehand, but they are small and I figured they usually don't change when a program is updated. The company would have to switch to another installer for the unattended file not to work.
- Yes, the program would probably have a timeout of 10 secs or more and continue with the next program if it can't download. Maybe a log at the end/after restart showing which programs failed to download, or something like that.
- Could make a script that daily checks which links are down, and sends me an email for example...
- Ofcourse the network settings would have to be correct for it to work, it would connect to a database on the internet, so it would have to shutdown if it can't connect.
- You're right about the last one, the program probably wouldn't download if you had a link like that, nothing to do about that unfortunately.

These days almost everyone has broadband, and doesn't mind downloading a bunch of programs/updates. I figured I could make a database with a program's name and the direct download link, and then make a program where you can create a config file so the programs will be automatically downloaded. This would save precious space on your CD
Things I haven't figured out yet:- Name, I suck at inventing names
- Installation, should the program do the installation would you still have to use another way.
- Database, if everyone has access to it and can change it, anyone can change a download link to an incorrect one.
Feedback please

Different versions need different cd keys. XP Home needs a Home key, Pro needs a Pro key, Corp needs a Corp key, MCE needs a MCE key, etc. So if you have a corporate version of Windows, it should've come with a corporate key aswell.

It will probably not show the updates, but it will show the installation file of Windows Messenger. The entry in winnt.sif for Outlook Express will only hide the shortcuts to it, so I don't know if it will show the updates for it then.

Your error is in this line:
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:\win51ip.SP2 SET CDROM=%%i:
%%i already contains a : at the end, so your line should be:
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\win51ip.SP2 SET CDROM=%%i

So you must've found this topic: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=36999 (6th result when searching for oemlogo.bmp). And you ini should be called oeminfo.ini, not oem.ini (also seen in the guide you posted).

Let me burst your bubble even more
I believe cmdlines.txt won't run either without OEMPreinstall=Yes. So for example, you can't apply any regtweaks to all users.@Astalavista: I believe that's why he wants F6 to work, for his SATA/RAID drivers

It works, but you're probably using the link in the topic posted above, which links to 4.00.5.129 (4.00.5.130 is the newest version, just go to the download section of XPlode's website and get it there).

This is the default behavior of SP2's updates. If you need to reboot after updating, it will popup every few minutes to tell you to reboot. I have the same problem at the moment (just installed the latest updates), spent a while looking for a way to disable it, but it seems there's no way to do so. The only way is to set the timeout of when it will remind you again with the following regtweak:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
"RebootRelaunchTimeout"=dword:000005a0
"RebootRelaunchTimeoutEnabled"=dword:00000001This will set the timeout to 1 day (1440 minutes, change it to whatever you like).

You can't use both the Welcome Screen and the dialog you're talking about.

You mean Category View?
This is enabled by default, so if it's not enabled anymore, you did something wrong However, here is the tweak to enable it:[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\WebView\BarricadedFolders]
"shell:ControlPanelFolder"=dword:000000010 -
If you apply a HKEY_CURRENT_USER tweak with cmdlines.txt (T-12), it will apply to all users.

Someting like this?
REN %WinDir%\system32\appwiz.cpl appwiz.cpl.bak
MOVE %HACKED%\NewFiles\appwiz.cpl %WinDir%\system32And after a reboot:
DEL %WinDir%\system32\*.bak
But yeh, I was thinking the same thing as MCT, would save you a lot of trouble if you did that.

I believe indexsrv_system has nothing to do with the standard Indexing Service, because:
- We all know the Indexing Service is on in XP, even though ref.chm says that indexsrv_system=off by default.
- ref.chm says that indexsrv_system depends on iss_common, iss_inetmgr and iss_www. These are all part of IIS, which is not installed by default on XP.

How did you install it manually? If you go the settings of the printer, there must be a name on the network you can use to install it.

Well, I am able to convert it to a 216 colors (web safe) image with this command:
convert -map netscape: oldlogo.bmp newlogo.bmp
Edit: this site talks about replacing the colors using convert.exe, but I'm not yet sure how it works.
And another edit: it seems that the -colors switch doesn't work in conjunction with the -draw switch. First drawing the text and then converting the image back to 16 colors works for the colors, but the text is gone then too (even though I use a color for the text that's in the palette).

You have to set OemPreinstall=Yes for OemSkipWelcome=0 to work.

Well, I was looking for the 16 color palette, and I came across this totorial. I was also looking for an answer to the question: do we have to change the color palette back to the one Microsoft put in the original ntoskrnl.exe? This tutorial, however, doesn't say anything about resetting the color palette, so this makes me believe we can put any 16 color bitmap in the modified ntoskrnl.exe, without changing the color palette back.
The thing I'm looking for now is, what font Microsoft used for the original copyright text (I don't know if you want to let people choose the font used, or if you just want to use the same font Microsoft used, but either way, I need the font to get the exact position of the original copyright text).

OK, see those links outlined in red, under the Google ads and search? Read both of them
Unattended CD/DVD Guide Homepage will tell you how to make an unattended installation, and MSFN Forum Rules will tell you what (not) to do on the forums.
Have fun making your unattended CD
