@ZoSTeR: Allready got the PS-Toolkit don't worry @mazin: What regkeys? That's where u need the installation right?!

make a batch like this: getdiz.cmd getdiz30.exe /spskill getdiz that's all? just run getdiz.cmd?

/s makes the readme show up but doesnt install anything

I would like to include getdiz in my unattended CD..... Getdiz is a nice compact and handy nfo viewer. I've always used it so far and I would like to include it in my CD.... But I can't find out the silent switches... Maybe someone who can help me? The program can be found here: http://www.dissoft.com/cgi-bin/download.cgi?1642&na Thanx a lot in advance

I've tryed to save in various different places including the resources\themes folder, my documents, desktop etc. But they never show up. But that doesn't matter anymore as the problem is solved now btw, I totally agree with your point about the theme file. Would have saved me a lot of trouble

where I save it

Weird thing I'm not able to save themes.... When I try to save one, the file is just not there ... weird stuff But works now thanx again

done and working thanx again m8 u rock

Ok the visual style works fine now. And I can finnaly open the .theme file correct Thanks for all your help guys. But now I've got another slight problem with the theme file. It doesn't set the wallpaper specified in the .theme file, it just sets the default WindowsXP wallpaper. :s MetallicShades.theme: ; Copyright © Microsoft Corp. 1995-2001 [Theme]DisplayName=Metallic Shades ; My Computer[CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\DefaultIcon]DefaultValue=%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe,0 ; My Documents[CLSID\{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}\DefaultIcon]DefaultValue=%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\mydocs.dll,0 ; My Network Places[CLSID\{208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D}\DefaultIcon]DefaultValue=%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\shell32.dll,17 ; Recycle Bin[CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\DefaultIcon]full=%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\shell32.dll,32empty=%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\shell32.dll,31 [Control Panel\Cursors]Arrow=Help=AppStarting=Wait=NWPen=No=SizeNS=SizeWE=Crosshair=IBeam=SizeNWSE=SizeNESW=SizeAll=UpArrow=DefaultValue=Windows defaultDefaultValue.MUI=@themeui.dll,-2043 [Control Panel\Desktop]Wallpaper=%WinDir%\Web\Wallpaper\Alilarter01.jpgWallpaper.MUI=@themeui.dll,-2036TileWallpaper=0WallpaperStyle=2Pattern=ScreenSaveActive=0 [VisualStyles]Path=%ResourceDir%\Themes\MetallicShades\MetallicShades.msstylesColorStyle=MetallicSize=NormalSize [boot]SCRNSAVE.EXE= [MasterThemeSelector]MTSM=DABJDKTThemeColorBPP=8I'm very sure the wallpaper is in the right place! Because If I copy and paste "%WinDir%\Web\Wallpaper\Alilarter01.jpg" into explorer it nicely shows me the image, so the path and file aren't wrong. Anyone who can help me on this one? Thanx a lot again

wow thanx for helping guys guess it was the colorstyle setting

@Alanoll: As I said I can even replace the luna.msstlye in the luna theme. So it has to be in the right place for the luna theme but that gives the same error for that theme. So the .msstlye is the problem. Getting it appeared manually isn't a problem. Works perfect @jrzycrim: Nice tip, will try tomorrow when I get back from work

%systemdrive% redirects to the Hard Drive where windows is installed.. Mostly C:\

No I didn't integrate that.. Never used it either. And I don't have a clue what OOBE is. Didn't touch it so.

hmm after a few minutes is continues anyway.... very weird I'd say...

Correction: Still doesn't work. Still same error Thanx anyway Anyone else maybe? btw.. the problem must be in the .msstyles file I think

I followed the guide making my own .theme file... For somehow the thingie doesn't accept my .msstyles file. When running the theme file it sais it cant load my theme-file into memory. I found out it's my msstyles file becouse if I replace Luna/luna.msstyles with my .msstyles file and then run luna.theme it cant load luna.theme in memory. Someone who has a clue? I love this theme so much and I really want it to get in my custom windows CD Theme can be found here: http://www.themexp.org/preview.php?mid=159...+Shades+211.zip (btw uxtheme.dll working fine, cause I can load in the visual style manually) Could someone please get it to work??? Thanx a lot! Metallic_Shades.theme Metallic_Shades.theme

No.... The Windows Loading Screen with the blue rolling bar shows up... but after that comes the black space (with mouse in)

Ok something weird here.... After Windows Installation when It should boot for the first time it gets stuck at a black screen (before even seeing windows thingies) I can move around the mice but there's nothing to click (except this big black space it's in ) After that I need to reboot my virtual machine, after rebooting it succesfull goes trough it's first boot. As you guys might understand... this really irritates me becouse this makes the whole setup everything but unattended.

However I couldn't find it with the search Thanx in advance

Thanx a lot guys! I will try it this week. Will report back soon

Yeah what crusher said is what I wanted thanx m8! But I was also planning to make another cmd+reg file to change back the progfiles dir so IE and OE and all the other junk wont be f***ed up

ahh I understand what you mean now... But **** that's a sucky thing to do it all manually. Thanx for helping

hmmz I don't exactly understand your point. Could u make a step by step quide?

But in that way I wouldn't get the MS Junk and my own apps nice seperated

Hi, I'm pretty new to the unattended thingy but it looks really handy to me so I'd like to give it a try myself. Now there is one thing I've got my doubts about. I'm the kind of tidy user that has one folder for the Apps op D:\ and one for the games, music etc. Now there is another topic going about changing the program files dir. But I don't want to change my progfiles folder becouse I will get all the standard MS junk also in my tidy apps folder. And I only want the apps I install there. But this topic made me thinking about changing prog files folder during setup. Would it be possible to let winodows dump all her junk into C:\Program Files\ and then before setup installs my apps change it to D:\Applications so my apps will be installed there and after the installation of all my apps change it back to normal again? My Question: Would that be an option? Or is there another solutions to that? Thanx in advance
