Incroyable HULK

I would suggest you install from svcpack.inf: [CatalogHeader] [Version] BuildNumber=2600 MinorVersion=1 MajorVersion=5 Signature="$WINDOWS NT$" [SetupData] CatalogSubDir="\I386\svcpack" [SetupHotfixesToRun] KB893803v2.exe /q /n /z [ProductCatalogsToInstall] KB893803v2_wxp.cat

For that stupid links folder, I am using this regtweak: ;Remove the LINKS folder in Internet Explorer Favorites [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar] "LinksFolderName"="" "Locked"=dword:00000001

Yes, this is caused by the fact you don't have your video drivers installed... For vmware, you can get the drivers here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...36724 and add them to your installation... this way you'll be able to test properly

Maybe you should post your complete doit.cmd file... Why don't you call doit.cmd from cmdlines.txt ?

in order to call reg.exe from "anywhere", it must reside in your System32 folder: \$OEM$\$$\System32\

My method is always the same; with a clean install (under simulation), I am using Windows Update to see the list of critical hotfixes required... I found his method to be the most convenient for me and accurate.

You'll start be reading the official guide: http://flyakite.msfnhosting.com/ Then you'll use this page for the remaining questions: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?act=Search&f=82

You could Select the part you want (hold left click button) then copy and then paste in word... this way you would have a better control of the print result...

KB873374.exe /Q:A /R:N don't put the (HALT BOX) in there! But the installation will halt until you click OK. Otherwise, you have to build a re-packaged version of this hotfixe or use the regtweak... P.S. Railman5 has been told this information already and he keep asking for it. Use the search function, that's all you need.

Speaking about technical book, I'd like to recommend the Mike Meyers PASSPORT series... I really like the way stuff is organised and the "cut the crap" approach.

Certainly, Windows XP will be 5 years old when Longhorn come out!

Here is my working cmdlines.txt ... [Commands] ".\AllUsers.cmd" ".\ie6.cmd" ".\wmp.cmd" ".\RunOnceEx.cmd" and AllUsers.cmd cmdow @ /HID ECHO OFF :: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/873374/en-us :: Set Microsoft GDI+ Detection Tool to completed REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\GdiDetectionTool" /v "GDITool" /t REG_DWORD /d "00000001" /f EXIT

Yes, that's it you'll need to read the "official guide" if you ever want to make it thru : http://unattended.msfn.org/

I hope we'll find a way to make this work... Anyway, can we use WinPE in a similar way as multiboot? I mean, I pop my CD in, I browse in my custom menu, I select the installation I want (4 different boot folder with 4 different winnt.sif file) ?

Not true, Windows 2000 is about the same as Windows XP. 1- There is a winnt.sif file 2- cmdlines.txt, RegTweak.reg and RunOnceEx.cmd is useable as long as you put REG.EXE inside your system32 folder.

Have you added REG.EXE to your system32 folder?

I have posted a small list a while ago... http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=35313 it should help...

Sorry for the delay, here is the Results for Windows XP SP2 *** NEW *** KB903235 KB901214 KB890830 (removal tool) I'll update the first page soon...

I have a wider definition of "idiots" but I prefer the term MORONS, it sounds even better in French!

yes, this is one of the problem... and I don't think you can import registry setting this way...

if you want to integrate Update Rollout 1 (KB891861) to your Windows 2000 SP4, take a look at this post HERE Otherwise, here is my svcpack.inf without Update Rollout 1: [Version] Signature="$Windows NT$" MajorVersion=5 MinorVersion=0 BuildNumber=2195 [SetupData] CatalogSubDir="\i386\svcpack" [SetupHotfixesToRun] ie6setup.exe /Q:A /R:N setup_wm.exe /Q:A /R:N KB329115.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB823182.exe -u -z -q KB823559.exe -u -z -q KB824105.exe -u -z -q KB825119.exe -u -z -q KB826232.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB828026.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB828035.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB828741.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB828749.exe /passive /norestart /quiet "KB832483.exe /C:""dahotfix.exe /q /n"" /q:a" KB833989.exe /Q:A /R:N KB835732.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB837001.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB839645.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB840315.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB840987.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB841356.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB841533.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB841872.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB841873.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB842526.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB842773.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB870669.exe /Q:A /R:N KB867282.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB871250.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB873333.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB873339.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB873374.exe /Q:A /R:N KB885835.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB885836.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB885250.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB885492.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB888113.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB890047.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB890175.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB890859.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB890923.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB891711.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB891781.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB893066.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB893086.exe /passive /norestart /quiet KB893803.exe /passive /norestart /quiet qchain.exe [ProductCatalogsToInstall] AND you have to install KB814078.exe & KB823353.exe later on (after a reboot) ... with a batch file or RunOnceEx.cmd

Come on Alanoll this only occured once or twice

1- You should have posted in the Hotfixe thread instead of starting a new topic. 2- Halt Box means you'll have to click OK manually at the end of the installation of this hotfixe. You should read the Official guide http://unattended.msfn.org/ then you'll know what to do with the RegTweak 3- This is the exact syntax you must put in your svcpack.inf: "KB832483.exe /C:""dahotfix.exe /q /n"" /q:a"

You could at least, AHeM at least, remove KB890830 and GDI+ tool from your list.

1- Yes, there is 24 Hotfixes, I forgot to increase the count when they released KB898461 on June 29th 2- KB873374 will show up as a Critical Windows Update if you add some more software... therefore I suggest keeping it. 3- KB890175 is showing up on Windows Update from a clean install point. I know KB896358 is replacing it but I won't delete this one from the list unless Microsoft do...
