I think i found a fix. i think it was part of the file protection. so i found a program that will eject my cd and then run my cleanup program. if any one would like the program please follow this link. i do not want to deprive RJL software of their software. http://www.rjlsoftware.com/software/utility/open_cd/

I suggest you go to this page reguarding the add users. i personally use the usersaccounts.cmd method. http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/27/ and reguarding the time, go to this page. http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/19/ it shows you how to set up your local time. it also seems that on that same page it shows you how to do the keyboard.

i'm gonna be honest. you should have searched. there was a topic reguarding the removing of the dotnet folder here's the link. Arie is the person who deserves credit. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&amp...st&p=732690 in short. yes. go ahead and delete it.

my question is simple. i'm just fine tuning my cd and on my cleanup command it seems it dosn't want to delete the screen savers that windows comes with. i've tried deleting them manually but they just pop back up. is this part of SFC? could i delete them from the source? would that solve my problem?

I don't know of a way to do that but if your only 90mb over i suggest you use nLite or or another slim down installer. Also check out http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/57/ you verywell could just delete your language folder. but that page has more advice. i suggest you read that to see if that can help you

I can tell you off the bat that you cannot slipstream WMP11 using nLite without a add on. here's the link to that post further explaining it ('i'm still working on the kinks in my install) http://web.clicknet.ro/boooggy/ Now i've used nLite alot but am no where near a expert however, i did not use nLite to add the drivers. I used the "drivers from the cd" method in the unattended cd found here http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/35/ and as far as the resolution not working in the virtual computer it might not be the drivers not installing. i don't think it works on a virtual computer, i've been building my cd since the beginning of the month and i've yet to see it change the resolution either with the settings from my winnt.sif file or even the video change that is mentioned in the guide http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/v...10/#1365vidchng hope this helps

When you say merge the code, you mean the last session file with my winnt.sif file?

ok as you can tell from my topic title i'd like to know if there's a way to set up my static ip address in my unattended cd. i've opened up my windows dir and saw a nLite "last session" text file. in there it has the following: [NetAdapter1] connname = "" macaddress = "" ipaddress = "192.168.0.1" subnetmask = "255.255.255.0" defaultgateway = "" dnsserver1 = "" dnsserver2 = "" winsserver = "" netbiossetting = "0" ipxnetworknumber = "00000000" ipxnetworkframetype = "0xFF" would i add that to my winnt.sif file? or is there something else. and I see that in that file it has some other settings in there. do they override my winnt.sif options? is it safe to remove it? Is there a way to set up my temp dir to be one place for everything? refering back to that last settings file it has some other items in there like my temp dir. if i'm allowed to remove that file where would i place that line? Here's my "last session" file i keep on refering to.

oh i think i found a solution to the video resolution. http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/10/ at the bottom is a program. gonna try that.

My driver is signed. should i try to lower it? will try that next when i find out the silent arguments for the numerous non silent installs on my disc almost have my complete unattended windows xp pro install disc

ok the install went through and the installs went through. i have to fine tune the silent arguments for them though. oh. the resolution didn't change to the 1900x1200. it should be enabled cause of my drivers being installed. but its only like 800x600 i think. i'll find out what exactly. but why didn't it change? ;SetupMgrTag [UserData] ProductKey=******* FullName="******" OrgName="******" ComputerName=******* [Data] MSDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" AutoPartition=0 [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath="\WIN" UnattendSwitch="yes" DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=****** EncryptedAdminPassword=Yes OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=230 OemSkipWelcome=1 AutoAdminLogon=1 [Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=1920 YResolution=1200 Vrefresh=60 AutoConfirm=1 [Identification] JoinWorkgroup=BSOX [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [WindowsFirewall] Profiles = WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall [WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall] Mode = 0 [Shell] CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\MyTheme.theme"

yeah i just caught that as i was going through my code. so i had to end up editing my cmdlines.txt also. i have it add my user account. so my cmdlines.txt is as follows [COMMANDS] "useraccounts.cmd" "RunOnceEx.cmd" i'm running the install right now.

ok well the install went through. however, my runonceex.cmd did not run. how do you make it run once you get into the GUI update?

ok i'm in the middle of installing it right now and so far so good. it's still doing the installing xp stage. i'll post after work about what happens at the GUI stage. btw here's my code. and thanks so much for your help JBM @Echo Off FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\win51ip.SP2 SET CDROM=%%i: SET PP=%cdrom%\$OEM$\$1\ SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f REG ADD %KEY%\000 /VE /D "DirectX 9.0" /f REG ADD %KEY%\000 /V 1 /D "%PP%install\dx.exe /Q" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Firefox" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%PP%install\fox.exe /s" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /VE /D "Quicktime 7.0" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 1 /D "%PP%install\QuickTimeInstaller.exe /S /V/qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\003 /VE /D "Adobe Reader 8" /f REG ADD %KEY%\003 /V 1 /D "%PP%install\Ad8\AcroRead.msi /qn /norestart" /f REG ADD %KEY%\004 /VE /D "Adding Nero's License" /f REG ADD %KEY%\004 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\Nero\register.reg" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Nero" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%PP%install\Nero\Nero.exe /quiet /qn /norestart" /f REG ADD %KEY%\006 /VE /D "Skype" /f REG ADD %KEY%\006 /V 1 /D "%PP%install\SkypeSetup.exe /VERYSILENT /SP- /NORESTART" /f REG ADD %KEY%\007 /VE /D "Windows Media Player 11" /f REG ADD %KEY%\007 /V 1 /D "%PP%install\WMP11\wmp11.exe /q:A /c:\"setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /DisallowSystemRestore\"" /f REG ADD %KEY%\008 /VE /D "TweakUI Powertoy" /f REG ADD %KEY%\008 /V 1 /D "%PP%install\power\tweak.msiUI /qb /noreboot" /f REG ADD %KEY%\009 /VE /D "Symantec System Center" /f REG ADD %KEY%\009 /V 1 /D "%PP%install\security\ssc\ssc.msi /S qn /noreboot" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "Symantec Clinet Security" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%PP%install\Security\SCS\scs.msi /s /qn /noreboot" /f REG ADD %KEY%\011 /VE /D "Register .torrent files to uTorrent" /f REG ADD %KEY%\011 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\Torrent\TorrentReg.reg" /f REG ADD %KEY%\012 /VE /D "uTorrent" /f REG ADD %KEY%\012 /V 1 /D "%PP%install\Torrent\torrent.cmd /s" /f REG ADD %KEY%\013 /VE /D "DVD Shrink" /f REG ADD %KEY%\013 /V 1 /D "%PP%install\dvd.exe /VERYSILENT /noreboot" /f REG ADD %KEY%\014 /VE /D "Codec Pack" /f REG ADD %KEY%\014 /V 1 /D "%PP%install\codec.exe /s /noreboot" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "Sun Java VM" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%PP%install\sun.exe /s /noreboot /v"/qn ADDLOCAL=jrecore IEXPLORER=1"" /f REG ADD %KEY%\016 /VE /D "Limewire" /f REG ADD %KEY%\016 /V 1 /D "%PP%install\lime.exe /s /noreboot" /f REG ADD %KEY%\017 /VE /D "VLC" /f REG ADD %KEY%\017 /V 1 /D "%PP%install\vlc.exe /s" /f REG ADD %KEY%\018 /VE /D "Adobe Flash Player Plugin" /f REG ADD %KEY%\018 /V 1 /D "%PP%install\flash.exe /s" /f REG ADD %KEY%\019 /VE /D "Memory Card Drivers" /f REG ADD %KEY%\019 /V 1 /D "%PP%install\Mem\SilentInstall.bat" /f REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "WinRAR 3.71" /f REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "%PP%install\WinRAR.exe /s /noreboot" /f REG ADD %KEY%\021 /VE /D "Disable ANNOYING f***ING BEEP" /f REG ADD %KEY%\021 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\nobeep.reg" /f REG ADD %KEY%\022 /VE /D "Editing Registery Files" /f REG ADD %KEY%\022 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\tweak.reg" /f REG ADD %KEY%\023 /VE /D "Cleaning Up and Rebooting" /f REG ADD %KEY%\023 /V 1 /D "%PP%install\cleanup.cmd" /f EXIT ;SetupMgrTag [UserData] ProductKey=Wouldnt-u-like-to-know FullName="*****" OrgName="*******" ComputerName=***** [Data] MSDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" AutoPartition=0 [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath="\WIN" UnattendSwitch="yes" DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=encrypted EncryptedAdminPassword=Yes OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=230 OemSkipWelcome=1 AutoAdminLogon=1 [Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=1920 YResolution=1200 Vrefresh=60 AutoConfirm=1 [Identification] JoinWorkgroup=BSOX [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [WindowsFirewall] Profiles = WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall [WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall] Mode = 0 [Shell] CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\MyTheme.theme"

cmdlines.txt [COMMANDS] "RunOnceEx.cmd" and about that command line. thanks for the pickup. i had it twice there.

i think i found out where the error is coming from. it has to be one of my installs of my apps. i'm running through the apps individually. but shouldn't they be installed after it logs into windows? not during the installation?

could you take a look at the error and see if you know what is the cause?

you sure it's "/WIN" and not "\WIN"? i got an error, i'm running the install now.

Thanks, i'll update it now

ok i must be stupid. it's still not working now. i've given up on adding the hotfixes. so that eliminates that error. but i then get this error (see the error.jpg) Here's my coding C:\Documents and Settings\Eric>dir c:\XPCD\ Volume in drive C has no label.

Yes ok well i redid my install disc. this time i didn't add my hotfixes. so far it's working. so it has to be one of the hot fixes. any ideas on how to find out which one without out adding one at a time?

Ok here's the deal. I'm giving up on the unattended install for this cd. I went through all of my cd's i had and found a old Windows Pro sp1 install disc. i'm gonna start using Pro instaed of Home. I'm gonna abandon this topic and prob start another when i come across errors with my unattended pro install disc. however, shouldn't they pretty much be the same? like it dosn't matter which one i was installing? if i have the codes wrong i'll still get the same error right?

OK, i went and took out the .Net hotfixes and redid my image. I'm running it on VMware Player and it currently at the copying files stage. will post back with more info (i.e. if it hangs or etc.)

Ok so i went back in redid my disc. now my system hangs up at the installing devices part of the gui installitaion. C:\Documents and Settings\Eric>dir c:\xpcd Volume in drive C has no label.
