Suggest you look into your startup entries (Startup Folder & registry) to check whether any application (written in autoit) is misbehaving.

How about trying out HFSlip? XP hotfix for hfslip It doesn't have to be unattended. Can be user-attended. Regards

Try replace 3rd & 4th line code with this: WinWaitActive ("Installer Language", "Please select a language.") ControlClick("Installer Language", "Please select a language.", "OK")

For creating bootable CD-r, BartPE , UBCD & Reatogo came to my mind For knowledge about building these things, you can read/search around Install XP from USB It's time-consuming if u are building this kind of project. Good luck

Just like to supplement some more info here On XP, the key is located at [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\>{60B49E34-C7CC-11D0-8953-00A0C90347FF}MICROS] @="Browser Customizations" "StubPath"="RunDLL32 IEDKCS32.DLL,BrandIE4 SIGNUP" A lookup for BrandIE4 SIGNUP syntax is at here So, maybe this can be disable at the unattended.txt [branding] BrandIEUsingUnattended = No

Sorry, I didn't realise I'm double posting same post.

Since this is a registry tweak, I suggest u try monitor thru Regshot Unicode A quick check reveal my test m/c (XP) registry key is at HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{36FC9E60-C465-11CF-8056-444553540000}\0003\HcDisableSelectiveSuspend: 0x00000001 HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{36FC9E60-C465-11CF-8056-444553540000}\0003\HcDisableSelectiveSuspend: 0x00000001 Uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power." will create these 2 keys on my own test m/c. I'm unsure it is standard or m/c dependant.

Thanks johndoe74 & BigRandalo for the input. I'm aware of the rdf tweak, but not the "about:config way of disabling compatibility check." Just that too many extensions need to tweak. Dun really wan to do that. After all, v2 works fine. Will wait until more extensions are supported in v3. I have MR Tech's Toolkit 6.0.3 (formerly Local Install) installed, but never really explore it's features. Will certainly look into it when need arises. Cheers everyone

Thanks for the version update. I'm still sticking to version 2 instead of version 3 as version 3 has too many incompatible extensions. (such as Classic Compact Theme, paste and go, tab clicking options, etc)

There is another one no one mention yet: Sun VirtualBox. I use this app to test my XP SP3 unattended build. (I used to use Virtual PC 2007 but I think VirtualBox is nicer. Map network folder faster). Freeware Discussion about this app

Try installing OpenExpert if there really no option thru group policy

Just for info: I don't have HFGUI1.EXE in my SOURCE & SOURCESS folder. But I do encounter this kind of msg once during textmode setup. I managed to trace to HFGUIRUNONCE application. My problem at that time was that the application name contains space, such as "Virtual PC 2007.exe". By removing it all the spaces, removes the error. U can also try matching the file size on source & sourcess. I believe it is just a rename of file.

I search my registry for process speed info. It is located in : Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ;this is 2GHz CPU [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0] "~MHz"=dword:000007cf (Not sure if this is a standard location or custom location. My OS is XP Sp3) U can try using RegRead function Hope that helps

It appears that I have not suggested a possible solution in my earlier post when I tried what u want to achieve in IE7. I have no idea how to do that too. (I don't really use IE7 too) However, just to let u know Maxthon Classic 1.6 can do that as I have it installed and validiated. (Back arrow, forward arrow, Address bar & Link bar in 1 row. It is simply drag & drop among the bars) . Hope that helps

U can try to use tools like Regshot 2.0.1.66 Unicode to monitor changes Take 1st shot (before u made any changes) Go ahead & make changes Take 2nd shot (after u made changes) See comparsion result and make an intelliegent guess which are the possible key to tweak

or u can try this as an addon (will remove the whole wallpaper folder in typically C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper during svcpack, T13) RemoveWallpaperfolder.7z Size: 238kb md5:DD53657C71C7E27BEB8D1BE4CAFFB780

Ready made are available. http://www.wincert.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=4236 Try putting in HFSVCPACK first. If it doesn't work, then put in HFGUIRUNONCE (I did not try it)

Google around reveal Abaiko Disk Space Monitor 2.00 If this is not what u r looking for, try search phase like 'hard disk space monitor freeware'

Would u like to upload the HFslip.log file for review? Basically, I did not touch my source and I did not add manually files (even to sourcess) to slipstream. If u can get the .net install properly via HFGUIRunionce, there is no need to touch source or sourcess manually. It will make it difficult to troubleshoot your build later on when u want to add more programs / modification /hotfixs... Are u using clean source? and in what lang (I presume english is the default language) do you want .net to install with? Do u have any application that depends on .net at T13? (if have, what .net version is depend on) Why need .net 1.1 ? Can it be exclude for the purpose of testing/building your iso? (nowadays most of the application are at least .net 2) Try to use HFANSWER.INI. (how do you slipstream IE7, can it be done svcpack? I had mine set IE7SVCPACK=1)

Found the following msg generated by WU1.txt * WINDOWS XP SP3 Patch NOT Installed MS08-058 956390 File C:\WINDOWS\system32\mshtml.dll has a file version [7.0.6000.20900] that is greater than what is expected [6.0.2900.5659]. - File C:\WINDOWS\system32\shdocvw.dll has a file version [6.0.2900.3264] that is less than what is expected [6.0.2900.5659]. KB956390 does not contain shdocvw.dll. It only has mshtml.dll Hmm... Window updates never complains about missing kb956390... so I'm leaving it as it is

I tested ricktendo64 Windows Search 4.0 (nlite), it doesn't work in HFSlip. So I experiement with Window Search 4.0 and able to get it installed. Here goes: Add a reg file to HFSVCPACK folder (say TerminalServiceAuto.reg) Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermService] "Start"=dword:00000003 Download my pack and put in HFGUIRUNONCE folder. Size: 5.34MB MD5: 065F00948EB9F855E9CB4767F8D2CB5C Filename: WindowSearch4_KB940157XP.exe Source for Window Search 4.0, For Windows XP (32-bit) Tested in ok XP sp3 virtualbox only. It is an autostartup item As I have no intention to host this file, I will delete in 1 month time. Lastly, appreciate your feedback whether it works in virtual & real install. Thanks in advance.

I installed DOTNET with HFGUIRUNONCE with .net2 SP1, 3.0 SP1 & 3.5. See post 249 of Silent .NET Maker IF U still can't get it thru, let me know, I upload mine (English lng only) for u to try/test. (Note: it is w/o .net 1.1 as I don't use it. I use RogerSpear pack sometime back and slipstream via svcpack for .net 1.1) I did not use Windows Search 4.0. Sorry about that. My general message is to let u know that all these integrator stress "clean source". By using 3 integrator utilities, it breaks this important general rule.

First, stick to 1 intergrator first. Don't use differnet intergrator to build one upon another (HFslip,nlite, rvmi). Can lead to many issues. I only use HFSlip and has no problem building .net framework 3.5, 3.0 & 2.0 sp1 in one single exe (My option is MERGE_FRAMEWORKS=FULL) via hfguirunonce. Pls ensure all revalent .net package that u want to build must also be installed in your host system first. Alternatively, use RogerSpear pack (So u do not have to build yourself). That has already been discuss in HFSlip forum. Have u tried it? HFslip can also install all other progam addon (w/o the need for nlite or rmvi). Some of the programs addon can only work on a particular type of integrator which u may be unaware, thus causing many & multiple issue. ( I learnt the hard way too). Lastly, take things slowly... rushing things through may just lead to more frustration... Why r you using 3 intergrators to slipstream? It is a sure way to disaster... pardon my frank thought...

I don't know if this is what you want Add a cmd script to your startup with this (which will lock your workstation) U can add a timeout.exe or sleep.exe to delay this script rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation

Another freeware : Rname-it 3.1.0 Works in xp. Have preview for the changes u want to make, so you won't make careless mistake prior to mass Rename it!
