Ok awesome thank you but I have a few questions. At what point of the install would the .msi or .exe's run and install? And on the option delete driver files when installation is complete, at what point is installation considered complete? Also if I chose the RunOnceEx option, how would I go about a silent install? Again thank you so much.

The reason this confuses me is because yes the actual display drivers are .inf's but the control centers are packaged in executable which are part of an .msi. INF's seem easy enough to get installed but I assumed that .msi files are going to need some user input.

Ok so I have a small question about driver installations via nLite. It seems to me that the driver installation is just the installation of the particular INF files you select which is fine, but what if I wanted the driver and it's corresponding controller software? For example, Nvidia's Control panel or ATI's CCC? Are those able to be nLited via driver integration option or is that under a different format, say application install via RunOnceEx? And if RunOnceEx, how would I make that Unattended because I doubt that those suites as well as others are not designed with silent switches in mind as MS updates and installs are.

Ok thanks for all the help guys, I just cleared it up. I just changed all the REGKEY to KEY and it works. Also the CD method suggested didn't work, I went back to my original method and it ran smoothly.

Anyone have any other ideas? I cannot see a way past this...

Sorry I wasn't very good at showing that tree. The folder $$ is in the $OEM$ folder and the cmdlines.txt and RunOnceEx.cmd is in the $OEM$ folder as well but not inside $$.

This is my cmdlines.txt and this is my RunOnceEx.cmd I am beginning to wonder if it is my directory structure as well... is this the proper layout? CD Root---->$OEM$---->$$, cmdlines.txt, RunOnceEx.cmd Also one quick question from reading, what is the difference between GUIRunOnce and RunOnceEx?

I changed it to SET REGKEY= REG ADD %REGKEY% but unfortunately it didn't work either. I can't understand this. I do not even get RunOnce initiated. Is this maybe because my source is nLited?

Ahh that does not work either. It seems that the keys are not even registering on closer inspection with regedit. I am stumped.

Ok so I tried that as well but I cannot get it to work still. This is what I have in my OEM directory: cmdlines.txt RunOnceEx.cmd My cmdlines.txt reads My RunOnceEx.cmd reads: The FOR command should have set the CD-ROM drive and then installed hotfixes from the Updates folder on the CD's root and all should have been displayed in a window with one entry labeled "Updating". What am I doing wrong??? Is it because the source is nLited? Have I messed up something with the CD variable? I do not understand while it isn't working properly.

So it's been a while but I finally got to trying RunOnce after finals but what I did isn't working so I was wondering if you could review my RunOnceEx.cmd to see if its ok: cmdow @ /HID @echo off SetLocal enableextensions SET CDROM=%~d0 SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Windows Setup" /f REG ADD %REGKEY%\001 /VE /D "Updating" /f REG ADD %REGKEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\UPDATES\WGAN.EXE /passive /norestart" /f REG ADD %REGKEY%\001 /V 2 /D "%CDROM%\UPDATES\MALTOOL.EXE /passive /norestart" /f REG ADD %REGKEY%\001 /V 3 /D "%CDROM%\UPDATES\SEARCH4 /passive /norestart" /f EndLocal EXIT Can you see anything wrong with it?

Ahh ok I think I understand how to do it, let me give it a try and see what I can do with it.

Ahh ok let me give it one more try and see how it goes and I'll post the resulting session build afterwards. By integrate I mean to have them slipstreamed so that the windows install resulting from this CD is fully up to date. In respect to GUI RunOnce switches, could you please explain those to me in a little more detail, I have read articles on how to but I become incredibly confused. Thank you for you help.

Hi, I have been attempting to make a Windows XP SP3 32-bit disc that is fully up to date. So far I've been able to get everything working including some of the hard stuff like all of the .NET frameworks but I'm snagged on a few of them. These are the following updates I have been unable to integrate: KB892130 Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool KB890830 Mal Remove Tool KB956391 Security Update for ActiveX Killbits KB905474 Windows Genuine Advantage Notification KB940157 Windows Search 4.0 KB957938 Microsoft Silverlight I know that most of these can be taken care of using RunOnceEx but I am trying to make this completely unattended. I appreciate any help in advance.

Can you help me with that too? Initially I tried using RunOnce but it didn't work. I use RunOnce for the Root Certificate updater, but the other .NET stuff refuses to work.

Mara, do you think you could give me a little help? I followed your guide and everything goes accordingly, however when I run Windows Update, my installation has failed to integrate the first .NET 2.0 update (KB928365) and the .NET 1.1 update (KB928366). All others work correctly. I made sure the All-In-One installer came first. Any suggestions? I will remake my addons and try once more just in case I mixed up some files but I do not think that was the problem. I'll post my redone addons to see if you can catch something I didn't.

Hey mara, going through your guide some of your links are broken. I took the liberty of finding their new location for you so here ya go: http://tracker.ryanvm.net/download?id=103 (RyanVM's Windows XP Post-SP2 Update pack, latest version 2.1.11) http://tracker.ryanvm.net/download?id=102 (RyanVM DirectX 9.0c Addon) http://tracker.ryanvm.net/download?id=100 (RyanVM WGA Addon) Also on the Root Certificate Update it needs to be integrated via RunOnce not like the other hotfixes (what you helped me with earlier).

Ok thanks for all the help guys, mara your guide for fully updated Xp is superb it's helped a lot but I still can't get Windows Messanger 4.7 to go away out of the updates list and I have removed it with nLite. Any ideas for this problem? EDIT: I am also unable to integrate the .NET Frameworks. I followed your guide mara and I still receive them as updates in windows update.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why Setup keeps restarting? FIXED: I changed the name of my organization and it finished set up perfectly. There must be a character limit of the organization name or something.

Ok so I tried that and I still get the problem. This has never happened before in one of my nLite builds. The .ini file I posted is still the same except the new one just has IE7 installer at the top.

Ok thank you I will give that a try.

Ok so I started working on a new nLite build but now I'm getting this weird error where in the install it stops setup and restarts the computer after installing and configuring the network components and then it goes to the Windows XP loading page but enter the Windows XP console and says "Setup is restarting...". From here it starts the install all over again and it continues in this loop. I'm confused about this one. I have attached my .ini. Last_Session.ini

Ok so now I'm finally getting closer to the build of my XP portion of my CD but there are a few things left to integrate which are showing up on Windows Update: October 2007 Malicious Software Removal Tool Root Certificates Update .NET Framework 1.1 .NET Framework 2.0 .NET Framework 3.0 Windows Messenger 4.7 Right now I'm going to attempt to integrate the .NET frameworks using RyanVM's All-in-one package but I can't get the root certificates to integrate properly, and I can't see how to integrate the Malicious Tool because the file you download is actually the Tool itself rather than an installer for it. So therefore I have the following questions which I need your help on before I move on to integrating other aspects of Windows like drivers: 1) How do I set it so that the Windows Messanger no longer appears in Windows update? Is there some sort of registry key I can have install with Windows XP to eliminate it from the download list? 2) How do I integrate the Root Certificates Update? 3) How do I integrate the Malicious Software Removal Tool?

Hey guys I was wondering how I can integrate the latest removal tool using nLite seeing how its actually a tool and not an installer.I found one in a post for September 2007 tool and tried creating an addon using that but the installer was made by the creator I think.

So I am new to the whole slipstreaming scene. It's a very cool idea and right now I'm working on slipstreaming Windows XP Pro to fully updated with integrated driver, the whole shabang and then multi booting that on a DVD with the Fedora 7 Linux distro. However I am still learning about hotfixes. I just recently learned that there are cumulative hotfixes which I understand to be, well,an accumulation of prior hotfixes (eg, Cumulative Hotfix D could contain old hotfixes A, B, and C). I downloaded all my hotfixes from the post in the Unattended Windows forum and integrated those but I was wondering if there is a list of outdated hotfixes I don't need (eg, if I have Cumulative Hotfix D, the list would show A, B, and C as outdated) so that I may delete them. Or will this matter to the size of the CD? If it doesn't nevermind but if it does, is there a list of these outdated ones?
