When installing Windows XP SP2 integrated with unattended setup CD some files were not copied to system32 folder. For example: autoexec.nt, config.nt, irclass.dll, drivers\irbus.sys maybe there are some files also I have tried many ways even only making winnt.sif file with very few main answers. When installing without winnt.sif there is no problem. Anyone have such problem? And how can i fix it?

I haven't tried with blank password but if the Administartors password is blank anyone can log in with Administrator account and do whatever he wants so whats the use of this? Anyways I'll fix it

I've made utility such RunAs in Windows XP but with UI. It's asking for username and password and for the program to open with those credentials or you can customize it with switches. You can make folders private with it and put password. Usage: RunAsUI.exe (asks for program to run and then for username and password of an account to run with) RunAsUI.exe program (asks for username and password then runs specified program with that account) RunAsUI.exe program -a (runs program as Administrator and asks only for its password) RunAsUI.exe program -u:username (runs program as User specified and asks for only for its password) Examples: RunAsUI.exe explorer.exe -a (runs Windows Explorer as Administrator asking for password) RunAsUI.exe "explorer.exe c:\protected" -u:God (Opens folder c:\protected as User God asking for password) This is very useful when you want to put password on a folder. Simply give access (in security tab) only to specified user and no one will have access to it with other user. Note: if explorer command dont work you can put IExplore.exe (Internet Explorer) in the System32 folder and the result is the same. If you find it useful and have questions or sugestiosn feel free to ask me. RunAsUI.zip

You can use it for any method but you must provide 3 parameters, the 3rd one is for cancel command.

What u mean SiMoNsAyS ?

Read this one http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=27019 If you dont understand ask me I'll help you.

You can do CD Changing and Recognizing drive letter with this utility. I've posted it earlier http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=27019 It ejects the CD-ROM pauses and brings Message Box then if Ok pressed loads CD-ROM checks for CD label finds the correct CD and returns drive letter. I use it in my 3 CD Install, it works fine.

Does anyone tried this ?

Please tell me if you find it usefull or if u find bugs and suggestions

Start it with 3 parameters install.exe par1 par2 par3 par1 = CD Label to be checked par2 = Command to be exexuted when it finds the CD (note that it returns drive letter of CD-ROM and you need to give only command with \ ) par3 = Command to be executed when cancel pressed here is an example ............................ ECHO Removing useless shortcuts... DEL "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Windows Update.lnk" DEL "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Set Program Access and Defaults.lnk" DEL "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Windows Catalog.lnk" ECHO. start /wait install.exe "Applications CD" \setup.cmd %SystemDrive%\install\cleanup.cmd EXIT The program will check for the CD labeled "Applications CD" and execute setup.cmd in that CD with parameter which is drive letter so you can easyly get drive letter in your batch file here is an example cmdow @ /HID @Echo Off SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Programs" /f REG ADD %KEY%\000 /VE /D "Acdsee 6.0.6" /f REG ADD %KEY%\000 /V 1 /D "%1\defaults\ACDSee6\acdsee6.msi /qn REBOOT=Suppress" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "Acrobat Reader 6.0.2" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%1\defaults\AR6\setup.exe /S /v/qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 2 /D "%1\defaults\AR6\6.0.2_Update.exe /S /v/qn" /f ............................ %1 is given from install.exe and is drive letter You can even add it in RunOnceEx during installation to change another CD

You can run it when you need to change CD for example in batch file from GUIRunOnce I use this for RunOnceEx Setup

I've created a utility for changing CDs It ejects the CD and asks for the second or third CD, checks the label in every CD-ROM, finds out drive letter and if it is the write CD executes a file otherwise ejects and checks again until the write CD is inserted or cancel pressed (pressing cancel executes another file). It has 3 parameters 1. CD Label to be checked and displayed. 2. Batch file to be executed (must be on the CD as it returns drive letter and command specified in this parameter) 3. Batch file to be executed when cancel pressed. This is universal as it takes Labels and commands by parameters so you can use it for many CDs. Feel free to ask me if you have questions. install.exe
