[WINNT.SIF issues]

First off, sorry if someone thinks I'm trying to "hijack" this topic.

Second, I would like (more or less) the same as snakejv, only with this difference: The ONLY thing I want winnt.sif to do is "DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore" thanks do this: http://www.msfn.org/board/battery-hardware...up-t112054.html

Everytime I try to modify the winnt.sif, the text part of the setup skips to the partition selection.

Even when I add OemSkipEula=No, still skips ahead....

I thought this would work:

;SetupMgrTag
[Data]
	AutoPartition=0
	MsDosInitiated="0"
	UnattendedInstall="Yes"

[Unattended]
	UnattendMode=GuiAttended
	OemSkipEula=No
	DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore

but it's not.

Any idea's?

XP Home SP3

[WINNT.SIF Problems?]

See my edit in previous post.

I didn't add any drivers. Only post sp2 updatepack, IE8 and WMP11 with Boooggy's slipstreamer for wmp.

once again from ref.chm

FullUnattended

.

.

.

During an attended Setup, improperly signed hardware drivers generate a warning dialog box. If UnattendMode = FullUnattended, then Setup does not install hardware drivers unless they are properly signed.

now you must discover from where are those unsigned drivers, I doubt they're in 5eraphs update pack because I don't get those errors

Yeah I know, but I had the option ignore for that (don't know why) in the winnt.sif.

With that other line beneath it, see edit previous post, apparantly didn't work anymore?!

edit: installation succesfull, without those alerts. Now running sigverif.

Edit2: no unsigned files....

[WINNT.SIF Problems?]

Okay.

Anyway, installation works now , but had to click yes twice for those security alerts, what to do about that?

edit: removed NonDriverSigningPolicy = Ignore, now it continues.

After installing, hope it goes okay again, see if sigverif can find the troublemakers.

[WINNT.SIF Problems?]

Trying with that modification now.

But how come it worked when I downloaded and integrated all hotfixes separatly?

Problem started when I switched to post sp2 updatepack...

"Your installation won't stop if you have all answers, no matter if you using FullUnattended or DefaultHide"

What do you mean with it won't stop? Stop on error you mean?

edit: getting an error (security alert) at T-29:

driversoftware not properly signed with authenticode technology.

installed inf does not contain digitail signature information.

do you wan't to install the driver: yes/no/more info(which doesn't work, nothing appears)

I clicked yes, see what happens.

At t-22 again, same message.

[WINNT.SIF Problems?]

Sorry for the kick, but I seem to have a similar problem.

Couple of days a go started to update my XP x64 disc. Usually downloaded all hotfixes sepperatly and used nLite to integrate them.

This time I ran into a recent update pack from 5eraph at the RyanVM forum.

The winnt.sif I already had, that worked (till now), corrupted the installation when I used that updatepack (both on clean as partially updated disc).

Errors are similar as mentioned in the 1st post here.

Errors: http://www.ravenslair.nl/files/setup_error_log.txt

clean SP2 install: http://www.ravenslair.nl/plaatjes/xp_x64_sp2_clean.jpg

with the post SP2 updatepack: http://www.ravenslair.nl/plaatjes/xp_x64_s..._updatepack.jpg

Anyway, after lot's of testing, trying and ruling out (like comparing my installation source to 5eraph's, 100% match) things, the winnt.sif appears to be the cause.

Since without it, the installation, of XP X64 SP2 including 5eraph post SP2 updatepack, goes/works perfectly.

Any idea what's wrong with it?

[Batch file: ECHO'ing something on previous line.]

Yes, thanks!

That seems to work

[Batch file: ECHO'ing something on previous line.]

Hi

I've got a question, how do I place text (with ECHO) in a batchfile on the end of the previous line of text?

The batchfile in question does this:

ECHO text...
start /wait setup.exe
ECHO Done!

What I would like, is that "Done!" appears next to "text... " after the installer has completed, instead of beneath it on the next line.

After letting Google do it's thing, I ran into this: http://www.experts-exchange.com/articles/O...aul-Tomasi.html , but I have no idea how to implement that into my batchfile...

Anyone would like to point me in the right direction?

With regards,

[Integrate newer MS Catalog]

Ohw, okay.

Btw, the addon didn't work, getting framedyn.dll errors now, that file is not found.

I've had that before with this particular activex addon (but different version), don't remember how it was solved...

edit: not exactly integrated, but letting the batchfile (that runs during first boot) do this works :

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:\DVD.txt SET CDROM=%%i:

start /wait %SystemRoot%\System32\Rundll32.EXE "%WinDir%\Downloaded Program Files\MicrosoftUpdateCatalogWebControl.inf"
ECHO Done!

[Integrate newer MS Catalog]

Uhm, NOD32 AV gives a virus alert when opening that link

False positive?

Did find another way that seems to work: explorer -> new -> rar archive -> name.cab (instead of name.rar) -> add files with winrar.

[Integrate newer MS Catalog]

Thanks!

How did you do that? Kinda got stuck on making a cab file.

Did find makecab, to compress the files to dl_ and in_, but couldn't make a cab file with that.

[Integrate newer MS Catalog]

Take a look at the the older version addon and apply it to to newer cab file. If you have a link to it, I can give you more details.

The older version addon is different, as for the files in the cab, see attachment.

edit: after some more googling, the files in the addon cab are compressed, that's why the _ in the extension. Think I now know what to do.

edit2: Hmm, can't seem to make a cab file with nLite's addon maker...

MicrosoftUpdateCatalog_Addon.cab

[Integrate newer MS Catalog]

Hi

Today I found out that there is a newer MS Catalog ActiveX plugin, version 7.4.7057.223.

Now I would like to integrate that in my XP installation disc but nLite doesn't support the cab file...

With the previous version, I ran into an addon that actually worked with nLite, but can't find it for the newer version.

Anyone got an idea about how to integrate it with nLite?

The cab is included with this post.

With regards,

[GUIDE: Download Everything Microsoft (MSDBuild v5.5)]

1. Okay, then I'll wont ask here anymore.

2. It does not, and yes I imported that file.

3. Which I did, but then I might have missed something.

4. Don't remember where I got it, but added it as an attachment to this post.

5. Then I'll try again, since there is a newer Catalog ActiveX that I want to integrate.

Went from version 7.0.6000.569 to 7.4.7057.223, already got the cab with the inf and dll, also added to this post, if necessary.

[Office 2007 Slipstreaming]

Yes, you are missing something. With Office 2003 you can integrate SP and hotfixes directly into the source. With Office 2007 you can't do that. SP's and hotifxes are just extracted with Office Integrator to Updates folder and those Sp's and hotfixes are installed after Office is installed, making total installation slower.

Cheers

So there is no way to really integrate SP's/hotfixes in an office 2007 dvd?

Installing all 807MB of updates (from updates folder) after the installing of office is taking waaaaaay to long for me.

[GUIDE: Download Everything Microsoft (MSDBuild v5.5)]

Hi

I would like to integrate the ActiveX plugin for MS Catalog in my unattended Dutch XP Prof SP3 installation disc.

Already got the MS Update plugin integrated with the help of nLite, don't remember from where I got the plugin btw, been a while since I integrated it...

The MS Update plugin works, but I can't seem to succesfully integrate the MS Catalog plugin.

Got 2 cabfiles with that plugin, MuCatalogWebControl.cab and MicrosoftUpdateCatalog_Addon.cab.

Both same size (71kB), but the 1st one has the MicrosoftUpdateCatalogWebControl.dll in it + inf, the other entries_MicrosoftUpdateCatalog.ini, mcu.dl_ and MCU.in_.

The 1st one can't be integrated, nLite says unsupported file, the other causes framedyn.dll not found errors.

While typing I tried installing it with

start /wait %SystemRoot%\System32\Rundll32.EXE %cdrom%\Install\Resterende_updates\MicrosoftUpdateCatalogWebControl.inf

Doesn't work either. No errors, IE just keeps asking if I trust the plugin and want to run it...

Any idea's?

Ps, that program from the startpost (WUD) doesn't display any of the ActiveX plugins.

Ps2, the Microsoft Update, How to integrate it - ways to do it link from startpost doesn't work.

edit:

after looking more closely & try some stuff, I found out that the dll for that plugin was already integrated in my installation disc, however, still had to activate it after the message I got I mentioned earlier in this post....

But no longer

I let the program RegShot do it's thing, activated the plugin, let RegShot do it's thing again and then let RegShot compare the two snapshots.

Seems this key was the sollution:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Stats\{5AE58FCF-6F6A-49B2-B064-02492C66E3F4}\iexplore\AllowedDomains\microsoft.com]

So solved now

Now to figure out how to create the link. Thought it would be similar with the MS Update link, guess it's not.

[How to install Windows from USB- WinSetupFromUSB with GUI]

Just ran into this topic, that I bookmarked right away

Got 2 questions, before I start trying...

- If this is possible:

Would like XP Prof x86 SP3**, XP x64** and both x86 and x64 of Windows 7 (RC) installers on my Voyager GT USB stick.

4 OS installers, do I have to do anything special for that if it's even possible?

There's more than enough room on my Voyager GT, that won't be a problem...

- And what if... I want to add a linux distribution to those 4, kubuntu for example, what then?

** Both XP x86 and XP x64 are unattended, except the part where to select the harddrive, and both have a cmd running during 1st boot. The cmd is already prepared if the source of the installers is different somehow: The cmd looks for a storage device with dvd.txt in the root and then runs the installers of some programs from that storage device.

["Unattended" > Display Tab >Screen Resolution]

With me it always stays at 640*480, until windows is installed and fully started, then it complains that the current resolution is not suitable...

But with XP x64 no problem

["Unattended" > Display Tab >Screen Resolution]

Same problem here.

What's weird, with XP x64 no problem, works fine there. But with my just created XP x86 SP3 disc I get the 640*480 resolution.

[HOWTO create a fully up to date XP x64 DVD (EoL Feb 2016)]

The original Microsoft files are not slipstreamable, this guide uses Run1_XP-64.bat to silently install them on first Logon. Some people have repackaged the files so they can be added as AddOns at step 4 of the process (e.g. HJW's posts in this topic), but this guide will be written to use the original files whenever possible.

Okay, in that case... How do I add the .bat and the directx/.net files to the installation cd? With nlite?

No, I hadn't noticed (my x64 hardware is all AMD), but as it is a hardware item and hence not applicable for all users, it will not be added.

Hmm, okay.

[HOWTO create a fully up to date XP x64 DVD (EoL Feb 2016)]

Hmm, something went wrong here I think.

Just let nLite integrate IE7 and a bunch (not all!) of hotfixes. After installing windows says it couldn't load some battery installer thing...

Did I do something wrong?

After rebooting the virtual machine, still the error:

I had the same problem before. Solved by adding

DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore

NonDriverSigningPolicy = Ignore

to the [unattended] section of my winnt.sif

That solved it

Now other problem. IE7 doesn't get installed anymore... Reslipstreaming it.

Edit: What the hell... IE7 still doesn't work. The exe files are not present on the harddrive after installing.

I'll start completely from scratch.

Edit: IE7 works now, when I let nlite slipstream al those hotfixes at once. Works great, now only have to slipstream WMP11+hotfixes/.net/directx/malicious software tool and that new hotfix I mentioned.

Kurt_Aust:

When I'm done slipstreaming those hotfixes from your startpost with Nlite, how do I slipstream the dotnet and directx ? Can't seem to get how that's done...

Don't now if you've noticed, but there's a new update: kb936357, some microcode update for intel cpu based computers. 752kB

Haven't seen that one in startpost. Ehh... 10/23/2007 , not new I gues.

It seems that the Windows Update logic is a bit twitchy this month (nothing unusual there), KB944338 should have shown but didn't and KB943729 still shows up even after being installed. I'm still including KB943729 in the list as they'll probably fix it by next month.

Bartgrefte this thread might have the information you seek. From memory all of the default settings you mentioned can indeed be changed with nLite.

Okay, thanks! I'll check that thread.

And what about those 2 updates/patches I mentioned?

By the way, no "email notification" option at the edit-post page?

[HOWTO create a fully up to date XP x64 DVD (EoL Feb 2016)]

Hi!

Maybe you could help me out on something.

Yesterday I slipstreamed SP2 in my XP x64 install cd with this howto, that went good. Then I made it unattended, that went good to. (tested in VMWare)

Now I'd like to slipstream all other updates. Already downloaded them with the help of the Microsoft Update Catalog, searched all KBnumbers what I found at the Windows Update page. Got 35 essential and 4 optional updates plus WMP11 and IE7.

Gonna try slipstreaming them at some time this weekend.

Now there are 2 updates I can't seem to find. When I first went to the Windows Update/Catalog pages, just after installing windows, I had to install something to be able of opening those webpages, here's some screenshots:

Where can I find those 2 and can they be slipstreamed?

Now something else, bit offtopic... Can I change some default settings which are used when the installation is finished?

Like to:

- Change some startmenu settings;

- turn off automatic update;

- disable the tour, which appears after the 1st start when the installation is complete;

- turn off windows security warnings

- turn off the firewall.

Is this possible?
