  1. I was going to ask a question about this but I really don't know anything about .net framework. Think I'm going to check out the SDK...
  2. Do other aspects of your unattended install work correctly? For example, are you prompted to enter your user data or is the Winnt.sif working correctly in this respect?
  3. Did you try creating a new theme file from Display Options? It's worth a try. You could also compare the new theme file that's generated with your current one; just to see what differences there may be.
  4. I'd merge any HKCR setting at the end of the install; after your applications install. It's possible that software you install will overwrite changes you make to HKCR.
  5. That's good news. Glad you finally got it working.
  6. Yes, that will work. You need quotes around it if the actual directory that %programfiles% refers to contains spaces or if any other part of the path contains spaces. "%ProgramFiles%\SomApp"
  7. You might want to check out the Device Drivers forum. There is a sticky for unattended raid installation and some other threads relating to this topic. I'm sure someone there can lend you a hand as well. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showforum=88
  8. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...t=0entry90309 Don't use the actual tweak that is posted. After you set explorer for Details view, export the key given in that thread from your own registry.
  9. Makecab is part of Microsoft's Cabinet Software Development Kit and it includes documentation for makecab. I just never read the .Doc for makecab. Been using cabarc. jdoe deserves credit too.
  10. Cool. I learned something about makecab today...
  11. You can use cabarc. It's part of the Microsoft Cabinet Software Development Kit: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...KB;en-us;310618 Example: cabarc -m LZX:21 N shell32.dl_ shell32.dll Testing this on SP2 shell32.dll, LZX:21 compression was marginally better then the original cab file. The range for LZX is 15-21. 15 being the lowest compression.
  12. Win XP Pro System Requirements Win 2000 System Requirements 64MB is the bare mininum required for 2000 and XP but it's recommended to have more. I personally wouldn't want to run XP on anything less than 256.
  13. Most likely since he's using guirunonce... oops
  14. Post your RunOnceEx.cmd file please.
  15. This may be what your looking for. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...=0entry137017
  16. Coke will be fine. I wish I would have mentioned that first. Didn't think about it until later. Well, at least it was something simple. Glad you got it worked out. B)
  17. That's strange that your install packages work since you have OemPreinstall=No. normally that prevents your OEM files from being copied over. How exactly are you installing your 3rd party apps? What method are you using. I suppose your problem could be related to the fact that you are using OEM disks since other people have had problems with them. I can't be specific since the promlems may vary from oem to oem. Make sure that Winnt.sif isn't actually named winnt.sif.txt. It's a common problem. Let the mouse hover over the file. If the tooltip identifies it as a SIF file, then it is okay. If it Id's it as a text file, then it needs to be renamed to Winnt.sif.
  18. The /S is definitely needed or regedit will think you are trying to import 2 files; a file named s and a file named registry.reg.
  19. Yep, that's where I saw the tweak and copied it for later use. Thanks Benners. Now that I'm using SP2, I've since applied that tweak and it does work.
  20. It's really hard to tell without more information. Have you seen this guide? http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/gettingstarted.htm Are you just trying to create an unattended CD? If so, did you rename unattend.txt to Winnt.sif and place that in your i386 directory? A good start would be to post your winnt.sif and a more elaborate description of your problem.
  21. When I installed SP2, my status bar went away. As soon as I applied the tweak below, any new explorer window I opened had the status bar. Didn't even reboot or log off. ; ** Enable Explorer Status Bar ** [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] "StatusBarOther"=dword:00000001
  22. That's usually how it works. Which processes are you trying to kill? If you can recall, what changes have been made to your system prior to this problem? Do you receive that error for all system processes or just some of them? Some critical system processes cannot be terminated. Related thread: http://www.cybertechhelp.com/forums/archiv...hp/t-39652.html
  23. Just checked WU and that hotfix does not come up. I don't have the problem this one address so I don't need it. The only updates I'm offered are optional: Hi-mat, Journal Viewer, and Messenger 4.7.
  24. That should be taken out. Other people have had trouble with their themes because of that. The original luna.theme references themeui.dll a few times. In fact, any reference to themeui.dll should be removed. The sure way to get a working theme file is to save it from the Themes tab in display properties.
