I am using XPCREATE to make a 2000 Server CD. I was able to make a CD with SP4 integrated just fine, then I tried adding some additional files via $OEM$ and another folder that contained a couple of apps. When I created this second CD, I got an error just after boot in text-mode stating "Line 130 of the INF is invalid" So I removed all the files I added, and re-created the CD and I am still getting the error. Could someone take a look at this log file and tell me if there is anything that indicates an error or problem? I looked at it but couldn't determine if anything looked wrong. I am using a Windows 2000 Server CD with all the contents copied to the HD and have the INI pointed to this location. 3:30 PM EST: To be sure that the source files copied to the hard drive were not the issue, I used the original Windows CD and I am still getting the same error logfiles.cab logfiles.cab

For whatever reason I am unable to get this to apply during unattended setup. ;Disable Delete Confirmation (Recycle Bin)[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]"ConfirmFileDelete"=dword:00000000I added that to my registry tweaks file that gets applied at the t-12 stage and for the most part, all of my registry settings get applied to the admin account and all other accounts used to access the PC. This is what was listed as being in an INF file that was taken from Gosh's site. Is this something that can be applied using this method (.reg file)?

I tested it, and it did set the Desktop and Start Menu back to Classic. I used this code ;Disable Delete Confirmation (Recycle Bin)[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]"ShellState"=hex:24,00,00,00,37,88,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\01,00,00,00,0d,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,00I'm curious, did you test this during an unattended install or did you just merge it into your existing registry?

Ok, I will try this out as I see you have a backslash in your hex string. I did not see that in mine. I will let you know the resuts tomorrow. Thanks for the assistance

jrzycrim, Did this uncheck the box and not change the Desktop or Start Menu to Classic form?

I did your suggestion and changed this Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-861567501-448539723-839522115-500\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]"ShellState"="24 00 00 00 3C 28 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 0D 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00"to this Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]"ShellState"="24 00 00 00 3C 28 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 0D 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00"but all it did was set the dekstop and Start Menu to Classic, the delete confirmation is still enabled. Any other ideas?

My question is in regards to the installation of the Recovery Console to the hard drive. I added the line %CDROM%\i386\winnt32.exe /dudisable /cmdcons /unattend That gives me an error stating it can't find NTUPGRD.DLL. I had removed the WINNTUPG folder from I386, so I created a new CD with that folder and just NTUPGRD.DLL under my I386 folder and that error went away but I was prompted with another error referring to an INI file in that same folder. Since I am not doing any sort of upgrade and just trying to install the recovery console during RunOnceEx, why is this folder necessary to complete this task?

I used RegShot to capture the registry change when I disabled the Delete Confirmation on the Recycle Bin, but for some odd reason that seemed to Enable the Classic Desktop as well. Very strange. Does anyone know if this is normal behavior? Also, is this specific registry key different for every install or does it use the same set of numbers each time? Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-861567501-448539723-839522115-500\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]"ShellState"="24 00 00 00 3C 28 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 0D 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00"

Would setting the computer names uniquely be possible using the Setup Manager utility? The unattended install I have created runs completely off CD and I am have used Setup manager to setup my WINNT.SIF file. In it, I have specified 3 machine names that will more than likely never change and will always be used on the same PC's. Has anyone used this process to specify machine names? If so, how would this work using a UA CD and will this work in the same manner as used earlier in this thread?

Excellent, thanks for the help!

Is it possible, after RunOnceEx has finished it's job and rebooted, to automatically login as another user and apply specific settings to the new user account (i.e.-drive mappings, printers, etc..)?

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! That worked like a charm! You don't know how many days of frustrating trial-and-error I went through before almost giving up. Thanks again for your help.

Thanks for the replies. WwTIPPYwW, it was so obvious I kicked myself after reading it. Thanks again

Thanks for the reply. I will try that with my fingers crossed

I'm have looked through the forums and I have used this thread, http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=16892&hl=Java and I have used this page for silent install switches for Java, http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/...ide/silent.html and using both of those resources I am unable to get Java to install. Here is what I have tried so far REG ADD %KEY%\008 /VE /D "Sun Java VM 1.4.2" /fREG ADD %KEY%\008 /V 1 /D %CDROM%\postinstall\SunJava\j2re-1_4_2_04-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v"/qn ADDLOCAL=jrecore IEXPLORER=1 REBOOT=Suppress JAVAUPDATE=0 WEBSTARTICON=0" /fand REG ADD %KEY%\008 /VE /D "Sun Java VM 1.4.2" /fREG ADD %KEY%\008 /V 1 /D "\"%CDROM%\postinstall\SunJava\j2re-1_4_2_04-windows-i586-p.exe\" /s /v \"/qn ADDLOCAL=jrecore IEXPLORER=1 REBOOT=Suppress JAVAUPDATE=0 WEBSTARTICON=0\"" /fI also tried this variation as well, REG ADD %KEY%\008 /VE /D "Sun Java VM 1.4.2" /fREG ADD %KEY%\008 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\postinstall\SunJava\j2re-1_4_2_04-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v"/qn ADDLOCAL=jrecore IEXPLORER=1 REBOOT=Suppress JAVAUPDATE=0 WEBSTARTICON=0"" /fbut both times, it gets skipped over very quickly during RunOnceEx. After the unattended install completes, I am able to install it using this command just fine j2re-1_4_2_04-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v"/qn ADDLOCAL=jrecore IEXPLORER=1 REBOOT=Suppress JAVAUPDATE=0 WEBSTARTICON=0Please help as I am at my wits end trying to get this application to install. Thanks

I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to keep AIM from changing the the Internet Explorer homepage after it gets installed? I used SetUpMgr.exe to set the homepage to my liking, but then AIM hijacks it after it gets installed. REG ADD %KEY%\009 /VE /D "AOL Instant Messenger"REG ADD %KEY%\009 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\postinstall\AIM\Install_AIM.exe /s" /fAre there any other switches I need to use to prevent this from happening? Thanks
