  1. have just been playing and all ok. But, have changed some of the dialog messages, but they don't seem to have taken affect, do i need do more to activate this??
  2. @DjWhizZ, don't forget to code tag your stuff i'm guessing it may be because your missing " /f at the end of each line again you would do well to place your apps inside a folder relevant to that app. e.g msnmsgs.msi & msgplus.exe in install\msn and office inside install\office. just makes live easier in long run as you can see what is happening
  3. what swicthes are you using for MSN & MSN Plus? you should be able to use msnmsgr.msi /quiet /norestart msnpluse.exe /silentnosponsor and they'll be there. not sure about the 7z as not sure what your trying to do with it
  4. why is it not helpful for microsoft update? and yes it is possible copy all files to your location, crate your MST using the custom installation wizard found in the resource kit then apply silent switches to each of the Service Packs and preceeding updates
  5. i've noticed it is based of Alphabetical order and is it not one of the .osc files, and so if you added the correct tags that might do it I'll admit to never having played with them, (osc files), but do know that are listed alphabetically
  6. have a look here: http://unattended.msfn.org and follow it through. You can use nlite to make certain tasks easier, integrating ServicePacks, Hotfixes etc
  7. @mmarable that section is only applicable to RIS installs @redfive19, i think he needs the partitions to be created at start of install so to be called after os is installed wouldn't help. @braven, to get BartPE view this website: http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ to get WinPE you need a specific MS license. and i agree with iceman, can you get your teacher to the rest of us as i'm intrigued and i'm sure so will a lot of other people
  8. sorry, yes T_D it needs to be the second option you showed, been a long day at work and was doing of top of head. Yes you can extract the msi using winzip, winrar or 7zip and then place in your folder. i think you may benefit from this: http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/32/ which will show you how to do.
  9. on the software area of the frontpage i have seen that MS realise an ISO with all update on it, though coul dbe just for that month. yes it is possible, download them burn to cd and then install via a batch command or the like
  10. from what i gather you need to use either winpe or bartpe to do this as it isn't a function you can do unattended otherwise. you can do with manual interaction though
  11. [pic1] the regedit needs /s to silent apply the key or you will get that - so make sure it looks like this REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 2 /D regedit /S "%systemdrive%\install\zonealarm.reg" /f and see how you get on [pic2] your not using correct switches - search the application install thread if you manually install it generates a .msi file - install that using /qn and will be ok [pic3] again your using incorrect switches - search the application install thread don't use but switches
  12. ah, so your trying to stop your dad from using his pc how he wants to, some people might think your breaking security intended to limit your use, sometimes called hacking
  13. if it's your dad's PC and you use it, are you sure he isn't restricting your use rather than you doing it to him and he knows more that you give credit for.............. and no i'm not aware of a way to stop reg keys from being merged other than change the association of .reg to open by default in notepad, it will slow him down for a while
  14. How do you know it's wrong? Does it load the keys into the registry? Do any of the applications install? Do the files get copied to to the install folder, which contains all files so you may want to put each application inside it's own folder, makes life easier This is very wrong REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "ZoneAlarm" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\zaSuiteSetup.exe /s /i /noreboot /lickey <key removed as per rules> REGEDIT %KEY%\005 /S "%systemdrive%\install\zonealarm.reg %systemdrive%\install\config.xml" /f should be REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "ZoneAlarm" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\zaSuiteSetup.exe /s /i /noreboot /lickey <key removed as per rules> REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 2 /D regedit /S "%systemdrive%\install\zonealarm.reg %systemdrive%\install\config.xml" /f You could place a pause at the end so you can see what happens or even after each line. Remove your serial key please for nero. Do you know those are the correct switches to install your desired applications correctly? do a search to clarify try this site: http://unattended.msfn.org for further guidance
  15. you will get to see your icons whether it is locked or not, if locked it stops at showing 3, and then you need to select the double right arrow to view others and same if unlocked - so you get to see icons either way around
  16. doing a normal unattended you would replace notepad.exe with notepad2.exe (obviously renamed to notepade.exe) in the i386 folder and also add a copy to $OEM$\$$\system32\dllcache so that it used your none signature version in install and was also a permamnet copy on pc - and you don't then get that message
  17. you could install regsnap 1. run a before scan 2. make changes 3. run a after scan 4. compare scans 5. export registry settings apply them at cmdlines.txt as part of others you import or you could look the regtweaks topic and see if it has been done already. hope it helps
  18. 1. it depends on the msi and company that produced it. Some are held in a folder called Registered Products with the CLSID as folder name. It will also depend on how you are installing, i have noticed that doing acrobat reader 707 from cd, doesn't copy the setup files to the directry path, so have to copy them over as part of install so are available for future updates 2. do Start | Run | msiexec /? and it will show the switches available, one being to generate log files with as much or little detail you want. hope it helps
  19. @jely, did you have any luck in doing this as i needed to redo mine and did in this order and allorked perfectly fine. 1. create your admin installation oint 1a. <cddrive>:\setup.exe /a data1.msi 2. applied updates in following order Office 2000 Service Pack 1a (admin SP) Office 2000 Service Pack 3 (admin SP) Security Update for Access 2000 Snapshot Viewer (KB826292) Security Update for Office 2000 WordPerfect 5.x Converter (KB824993) Security Update for Word 2000 (KB824936) Security Update for Office 2000 (KB822035) Security Update for Word 2000 (KB830347) Security Update for Excel 2000 (KB830349) Security Update for Office 2000 WordPerfect 5.x Converter (KB873380) Security Update for Excel 2000 (KB873372) Security Update for Word 2000 (KB887977) Security Update for Word 2000 (KB895333) Security Update for Word 2000 (KB905553) Security Update for PowerPoint 2000 (KB905555) Security Update for Excel 2000 (KB905757) Security Update for Outlook 2000 (KB905646) 2a. Applied them all using this install command: msiexec.exe /p <folderpath>\<updatefile>.msp /a <officeinstalllocation>\data1.msi SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE and it worked a charm
  20. if you locate the file, and open it does that work? maybe it needs ie7? or maybe it doesn't........... it should open ok in ie showing all tags or in notepad
  21. i'm using my and runs xp perfectly fine fo what i need to it to do. Upgrade h/w to run a new os - no chance, the os would wipe my budget clean and as i don't use heay apps like, movie encoding or games i'll stick until h/w fails and then think. i don't think vista will be all its cracked up to be, and why the need for two different way to interact, i can't see 3d properly so it will be a complete waste and should be fun doing support!!
  22. i think you need to look here http://unattended.msfn.org at specifically the bit about adding applications to your cd and how to run them. runonceex.cmd will do it automatically after first login
  23. can you upload your .sif file your doing your ris from, so we can see what it looks like and if anythhng stands out as being a potential issue. Remeber to REMOVE your cd-key
