dell xp cd already has $OEM$ folder
oioldman replied to cut's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
please don't take offence, but there are quite a few topics mentioning how to use a Dell branded XP CD to make your own UaCD. I know i've read them, but i'm sure you can and will probably need to modify the winnt.sif file as well to compensate for the sections, [guirunonce] and [unattended]. OiOldman -
I do the same, call wpi from winnt.sif, though it is copied to an install folder on c: first and install apps from the cd including cleanup command which is the last to remove un-needed shortcuts and files

Use the winnt.sif method, clean and easy and applied during build, so don't need any mods to finished article. Is method i use and works a charm. That command and a squillion others are mentioned in ref.chm file.

new one on me. What editor were using? did it have an autorecover function? Most temp files are generated in use and closed when the app is closed down, or at least that file. Could try looking in your Temp directory or your profile\temp directory for some files and hope they open in notepad or something similar.

AutoInstall CD-ROM Builder
oioldman replied to Justin-Credible's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
@Bilou_Gateux, Thanks, for the links. Hope it works with BartPE as we don't have WinPE within the company and certainly not able to afford it via the license methods. -
AutoInstall CD-ROM Builder
oioldman replied to Justin-Credible's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
looks a fantastic program, and i'll certainly have a look. where can i get a copy of WinPE from though? -
Alanoll, Leave as is, which i think is no frame, or would there be any specific reason why frames would be needed? Oioldman

Configuring Wpi Using Windowsnt4
oioldman replied to Mango's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
Mango, it does work on NT4SP6a IE6SP1 as that is where i did all my testing. The blank white screen is because it can't the path for the script files, background, theme etc. Try the original from a fresh download and you'll notice it works, hopefully. -
Problem with resolution on WPI
oioldman replied to Subtil's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
If your graphics card accepts that resolution, your winnt.sif should be ok with that. Looking at the config screen of wpi the max resolution is 1600x1200, but is does have pre-defined ones, and the nearest that wil probably work best is, 1280x1024. The refresh rate is to save your eyes and i wouldn't use less that 75, but is optional. I know alot of people will use 64x480x16@60 because this will always work, even in vga safemode. -
Possible to Change the size of the install window?
oioldman replied to Synapse's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
No, I asked this, as had same problem with Jave Runtime.... was given that as the response. Seems you'll have to shorten as i did. Also, mine didn't wrap when in list, but when it turns bold when installing it just disappeared of the edge. Did try to find topic, but couldn't. -
All yours apps have been discussed in great deatils in the Application Install area. Also, they are mentione don the unattended.msfn.org site, think in the intermediate section; http://unattended.msfn.org/intermediate/apps/intro.htm Hope that helps.
-
Do any of your dependencies work? I know Office on install is rather resource hungry and it could be just that. What if you do just the office, without the sp3? does that work if yes then re-do adding sp3.

Does this happen with the default download file from the homepage? If not, i would look at your script files incase one is the problem, missing ";" ro inserted pagebreak not using the <br /> command. [edit] corrected grammar [/edit]
-
Welcome. I don't think it is beta stage, well the homepage doesn't refer to it as a homepage. There is a plain theme included in the zip file you downloaded of 3.5.1 along with some indication of the file structure you could use. For documentation, i didn't think you could add more to what is there and most questions/thoughts i had were answered here by the helpful many. For upgrade, only kelsenellenelvian can answer that and could be based around time, usage, effort, what does need to be fixed/added. The website that you can go to is http://wpi.freeprohost.com/ for more info inc, history, layout and help guide. an oldman

Disable My Music & My Pictures from My Documents
oioldman replied to Marthax's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
i read that the proposal by Gouki does work, but needs to be this way round regsvr32 /S /u mydocs.dll RD /S /Q "%userprofile%\My Documents\My Music" RD /S /Q "%allusersprofile%\My Documents\My Music" RD /S /Q "%userprofile%\My Documents\My Pictures" RD /S /Q "%allusersprofile%\My Documents\My Pictures" regsvr32 /S mydocs.dll Why? So it unregister mydocs.dll and then it can delete said files, and then the mydoc.dll needs to be registered so that they aren't re-created again. @Marthax - would do you mean by? it does what you wanted it to do - remove the My Pictures & My Music folders - without your interaction. -

4 Days on and you haven't removed this. Please do so -
Problem with resolution on WPI
oioldman replied to Subtil's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
If your winnt.sif has a [Display] section, set your wpi.cmd to be the same as that. You can see if it kicks in or not by REM lining all following statements and running it, it should then change your resolution. You may also want to change the refresh and colour depth. -
Misc WPI question and cleanup script
oioldman replied to Vecna's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
The shutdown sequence will work if you remove the two (2) hypens (--) and so will the VideoChanger.exe command.
