    Win2K matters and using multiple techniques for driver installation

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    Posted

    Now I find myself needing to make 2k images. Not that different, except for the winnt.sif file must reside on a floppy.

    Not true, you can use the same method and techniques as Windows XP. :yes:

    I also suggest you add reg.exe (compressed somewhere in the tool directory of your Win2K CD) in your System32 directory so you'll be able to use RunOnceEx method just like XP...

    For the driver matter, maybe you should look into the Multi-Boot section of this forum.

    Can you skip the product key input on install?

    Actually you should use one of the public generic keys listed at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechn...depl.mspx#EWFAC.

    I was just about to post the same link!

    I remember seeing a page on the microsoft webpage were they showed a vbscript to gracefully change the product key... anyone seen it or use it? I can't find it anymore

    *** EDIT *** Nevermind, I found it and it doesn't work with OEM keys, only VLK

    Why in hell do people remove stuff from Windows?

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    I agree that some feature are useless and could lead to confusion with computer noob.

    But the fact is that you could only remove the shortcut to the application in the Start Menu instead of removing component. Once you start removing stuff, you get a less than standard system which is prone to errors, bugs and other malfunction that wouldn't have shown if you kept the system the way it is...

    Anyhow, I agree that thing should be kept the simplest as possible for regular workers, friends, family.

    I'm sick of getting our brand new installed computer trashed in just a few days by the end user. I give them what they need to work and even more (QuickTime, DiVx Codec, Live Messenger, Etc.). Why the heck do they start installing crap as soon as they get it ... gee.

    Unable to install Windows Live Messenger

    in Application Installs

    Posted · Edited by Incroyable HULK

    I just use

    Start /wait %systemdrive%\install\MSN\MSNmsgs.msi /qb

    AND IT WORKED

    Congratulation for not reading the topic at all. The problem we have is when you try to INSTALL FROM A MAPPED DRIVE OR A NETWORK SHARE.

    I ended up copying the Windows Live Messenger file from my network share to a temporary folder on the computer and deleting the file after the installation is done...
