No one forced him to reply, but no one forced you to not use the search function either... if you dunno what something is, it will be a lot quicker to do a forum search and locate the info yourself, rather than just asking for someone else to do the searching for you and waiting for the reply

i don't think i've tried installing without the reg tweaks.. i'm actually installing windows on a machine at the moment (sp2 rc1)... when WPI comes up on the screen, I will be sure to un-tick the Registry Tweaks option... i'll let it install without any of the reg tweaks and see if it still does it..

hrmm... oh well... sorry it didn't work, i was sure it was going to work maybe someone else will see this topic and know how to get around it

i'm using the 'corona' visual style with a custom .theme file (sets some icons etc) it's the theme that looks like media player 9

oh yeah, i use nLite now too... but it was doing it before I started using nLite

i can't think what else it would be... all i really have on my cd are the following: 1) registry tweaks 2) hacked uxtheme.dll 3) applications (nero6, powerdvd5, clonecd, winamp5, winrar3.3, etc etc) 4) drivers 5) corona visual style it does it for my SP1 disk, SP1a disk and SP2-RC1 disk... it couldn't be the uxtheme.dll could it? everyone else is using it too?

according to that, you should be changing the first 5 digits to 51882 to make it behave like a retail cd i take it you deleted any existing winnt.si_ or winnt.sif and created your own?

this has been s***ting me off for a few weeks now... i've been sifting through my registry file and cannot find anything that would have done this.. in an open/save dialog box, if I click the icon for 'New Folder' nothing happens (if I right click and go New->Folder it works fine) has anyone found this problem before? here's my regtweaks.reg (it's very long) regtweaks.reg

yeah i think it got mine from vortex as well...

you don't need to reference it as long as it is in the $OEM$ folder, and your $OEM$ folder is actually being copied, cmdlines.txt will execute probably put your start.cmd in cmdlines.txt ? depends what it does

do a search for "setupp.ini changing the PID" at google or somewhere.. i'm sure your answer lies in the PID

that's ok.. i found a website that has all the different SP2 version theme files for download

what extra screen? there is no extra screen! i run raid on lots of my computers... all you need is your specific raid drivers integrated into the cd correctly... it will never come up as two drives if you created your raid array correctly and integrate the correct drivers! (as in, integrate the floppy disk drivers so you don't have to press F6) there is no screen before the partitioning screen (well, technically the Press F8 to agree screen is before the partitioning screen) if it shows you a list of your drives, that is it... that is the only screen there is... you should see a 157000 MB drive, and maybe some others if you have other drives... it will never show up as two individual drives if you have raid array created properly and correct drivers... perhaps paste the top portion of your winnt.sif and also explain what raid controller you have and how you integrated the drivers (and which driver) Note: if you didn't integrate a driver, and aren't pressing F6 to supply a driver, no wonder it isn't working properly (normally doing this you won't even see anything in the drives list)

damnit ya both beat me! go green machine! (quick type!)

a few of your programs won't install correctly because there are two lots of /V 1 instead of one /V 1 and one /V 2 (the ones with two commands, have to be a 1 and a 2 obviously, you are just overwriting the first value with the second, example: Acrobat Pro 6, O&O Defrag etc etc) if it was rebooting because of one of your app installs, it would have ot be one of the first ones on the list... have you tested the silent install methods through windows yet? (on a running machine obviously) as in, run the silent install command from a dos prompt and see if it installs correctly and doesn't reboot the machine In [GuiUnattended] you should add AutoAdminLogon=1

you could just download the sun java distribution msjavx86.exe from the sun microsystems website

just delete the autologoncount line altogether, then it will logon all the time... even better, from cmdlines.txt create an autologon admin account... it's better than logging in with Administrator all the time! cmdlines.txt [COMMANDS] "useraccounts.cmd" useraccounts.cmd @echo off net user "UserName" password /add net localgroup Administrators "UserName" /add regedit /s autologon.reg regedit /s user.reg autologon.reg Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "DefaultUserName"="UserName" "DefaultPassword"="password" "AutoAdminLogon"="1" user.reg Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion] "RegisteredOwner"="Yourname" "RegisteredOrganization"="Business" Note: you don't have to include user.reg for this to work

the Win9x folder is only there so you can upgrade from an existing Windows 98 installation that is installed on your hard drive.. which you can't do at all with an 'unattended' cd anyway... most likely the cd you based your install off is an upgrade cd and validates install based on you having an existing OS... the only real way to fix it is to modify the I386\setupp.ini, try Pid=55274270

paste us your svcpack.inf file contents... it could be qchain.exe - run it from within windows and if it asks you what folder to extract to, then it is definitely your problem (the qchain.exe download from microsoft is a self-extracting archive containing the real qchain.exe) if it is your qchain.exe just replace it with the correct one it extracts

THat doesn't really give us any information to be able to help you.. firstly, 1) How are you running the RunOnceEx.cmd ??? where from ??? 2) Show us your RunOnceEx.cmd ! I'm guessing your RunOnceEx.cmd is being executed by cmdlines.txt? if so, paste your cmdlines.txt and RunOnceEx.cmd here

I'm not really new here.. been on for a month or two... but never saw this forum before so thought i'd say hello to everyone

other half of the partition? if you are formatting it, you can't save anything anyway! maybe you mean 'the second partition on the other half of the same drive' in which case deleting the first partition has nothing to do with the second it will survive

i've used that registry tweak before and it has worked, but that was on a no-themes windows installation, but now i've progressed to custom theme files... watch out if you use the luna.theme as your base for creating a custom theme file... where it sets the wallpaper, you have to remove the line Wallpaper.MUI=@themeui.dll,-2036 or it will still use the bliss.jpg that could be why your wallpaper doesn't work, because luna is overwriting it... stuff the registry tweaks make a custom theme file with the registry tweak, the file can be a jpeg or a bitmap

yeah, finally a customisable silent installer... no more video support!.. no more media organiser bulls*** program!... allows you to set up exactly what you need and nothing you dont (i hate winamp wanting to be default player for all video types and despise the media organiser thing)
