Any final statement is this done by RVM UP 2.0.2a or by something new in nLite RC6?
deffinetly not RVM's "fault" - tried a fresh xpsp2 with RVM integrated (using Ryan's integrator) and with the default windows setup - everything worked fine (regional stuff)
but I've had this problem 100% sure since RC5, thou don't remember if it also was with RC4 and earlier
I can also confirm that it's definately not the RVM pack. Using RVM integrator and changing nothing else except supplying the WINNT.SIF containing the langauge setup required sets everything up correctly.
I setup United Kingdom as the default and also requested Russian to be installed. UK is the default, Russian is installed and US is also there. Keyboard and languages are all set correctly.
I think someone mentioned timezone problems too. I confirm that GMT is set correctly as requested in WINNT.SIF.
Now to try using nLite for everything else except Language removal...

RyanVM has a silent installer for it0

Thanks for your efforts on TTPack it's appreciated. Faster download site would be good though.
EDIT: Did you hear me or something?! My download just jumped up to 60K a second from 5

What kinds of sources are you talking about collecting data from?
Also, have you done any kind of programming before? If not it might be an idea to look on http://rentacoder.com if you are looking for a quicker solution. If you are interested in programming however, then it sounds like you might have a good example to learn with but be prepared to have a long and painful few months!
You might want to look at http://rubyonrails.com for the website stuff. Really slick.

I've had this happen a few times as well (happened this morning actually). Sometimes it works and sometimes not. I find if I start with a fresh xpcd and re-nlite it, everything is ok for a while. I'm changing lots of other stuff though but mostly only application install related so shouldn't affect it. I've not really tested this issue methodically yet but there may be a reason for it. I'm using nlite 1.0 RC6.
I guess I should just try it a few times without nlite as I have created my own WINNT.SIF file. Just need to patch uxtheme manually (ooh how will I cope

I just found out something really useful after tearing my hair out because I couldn't figure out a problem with one of my unattended application installs. Not seen this posted anywhere so thought I'd share it.
SomeCommandOrApp >> output.log 2>&1
Basically the last part says redirect error output to normal output which is also redirected (and appended in this case) to output.log. Now I know all about stdin, stdout and stderr but I didn't realise you could redirect stderr as well. This appears to be a new thing in XP (new .. cough .. 5 years old .. cough
)For more info Microsoft have a page on it.
Now I log all my output so I can see when an app/command didn't run properly.
Hope other find this useful.

Yes this is the correct answer. The unattended reference (ref.chm) indicates that if using Language the other options are ignored. Just thought I'd clarify for other readers.

I would like to be able to add/subtract shortcuts to the various apps on the desktop. That would be the icing on the cake.
I just have a cmd that runs to remove all the desktop shortcuts. So many programs put their icons on the desktop, system tray, start menu, launch bar etc, it's easier to let them think they've got their way then just remove 'em all!
del %USERPROFILE%\desktop\*.lnk
del %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\desktop\*.lnk0 -
Just downloaded Update Package 1 (version 6.6.1.4) and NCAB works a treat. Everything removed. 20MB. What a sweet tool! Thanks very much! It's amazing that my original Nero Express CD contains 454MB of cruft and funny that Ahead send a complete working program and call it an update which is 35MB and even funnier that they still insist on packaging 15MB of cruft with it.
Thanks again.

I've been researching MP3 players and quite like the look and features of the Zen Micro Photo. Has anyone got one and would like to share their experiences in particular I'd like to know if the supplied software is any good?
Thanks.

I get the same error with Ryans .NET Framework + SP1 pack
Failed in call to CreateProcess, Error:193I never got this when installing from RunOnce but now I've switched to RunOnceEx I get this error.
Might be related.
BTW Use FoxIt PDF Reader (much easier to install, much quicker to run. Adobe - Bloat = FoxIt!). The only thing I will say against it is that it takes a long time to print with my HP Laser Jet (This never happened with Adobe) FoxIt Software.
EDIT: He! I just noticed this was from last year. Thought it was the Christmas just gone. Oops!

The reason it's running at T-12 stage is because of the line:
rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess
cmdlines.txt gets run at T-12 stage which means the RunOnceEx.cmd is run at this stage. Normally this just inserts the reg entries ready to be run after first login but the rundll32.exe command forces these entries to get run straight away.
I hope this explains why you are getting this behaviour (sorry it's a little late).

Sounds to me like you've created another user and are subsequently logging in with it. It's asking for the password because this new user is not an administrator. Just a guess.

I think
net localgroup Administrator Datorn /add
should be
net localgroup Administrators Datorn /add
As the group is called Administrators.
Don't know if the Swedish version is named differently but to check goto to My Computer->Right Click->Manage->Local Users and Groups->Groups and you should see it there.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/msi-repository/
Contains MSI's for Firefox and Thunderbird meaning you can do a silent install. A little slow to update to the latest version (notice they are still on 1.0.6) but otherwise good.
You might also want to try using the search feature (click search button top right)
I did this search: +thunderbird +msi
and got (among other things) this:

Norton Antivirus sucks. Latest version runs like a dog.
Heard a few horror stories about AVG (e.g. Doesn't work. Could be outdated virus defs though. Can't remember now).
Avast is my choice. It's free for personal use and the virus database is updated almost daily. I've never been infected since using it for almost two years now. Only downside is the annoying American voice

Seems like someone else had the same problem:
from http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&sho...ndpost&p=172024
Printer.vbs
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run ("rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n\\studeerkamer\samsung /q")
WScript.Sleep 5000
WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
WScript.QuitThanks again for your help.

Actually the names do not need to be more meaningful as the Printer UI shows the full name of the printer anyway.
I'm adding the connection to my client machine like this but it seems to always prompt 'You are about to connect to a printer on a server' :
rundll32 printui.dll PrintUIEntry /in /n\\server\printer1
I've tried the options /q /Gw to try to suppress them but doesn't seem to make any difference.
I'll dig around further.

WOW! Thanks that was a quick response!! I started looking at printui.dll which might have worked if I installed the printers using this command instead of integrating them which is not ideal.
Just tried the script and it works fine. Just need to change the share names to something a little more meaningful.
Thanks very much.

I've searched high and low (Google and MSFN Forum that is!) but can't find any command to share a printer without resorting to reg hacking (Not sure if even that can be done yet). NET SHARE seems to be the closest thing but for printers the only option is to delete shares and this doesn't even seem to work properly either (The share is still active according to Control Panel->Printers And Faxes).
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Don't if you're still having trouble but you will probably find this useful anyway.
1 and 2 - Use the Universal Silent Switch Finder to help you. USSF will tell you what options you need to silently install. Those installers are probably packed MSI's. There is an option to pass parameters to the MSI. Alternatively, goto Documents And Settings\<your name>\Local Settings\Temp remove everything (what you can) from there and then run the installer. A folder/file(s) will appear in the temp folder. They should contain the MSI. Grab all the files and put it into your unattended setup and then you can of course do the normal MSI silent install.
3. You probably want to follow the same advice as above. however, I used to have a Syncmaster 171s and managed to find and download the separate cat/inf driver files. That is also an option.
Hope this helps and sorry if it's a bit late.

Don't know if any of you guys have seen this but there is a plugin for Firefox called PlayLaunch that allows you to play music videos from Launch.com in firefox (apparently).
I'm having some problems getting it working though and the author does not seem to be reachable. I tried sending him the following email:
Hi there,I'm having some problems trying to get this plugin working. When I click on a video in launch.com (for example http://launchtoday.launch.yahoo.com/player...2da02&z=ms.asx) the new window appears with the link in the address bar but nothing happens.
Ultimately I'd like to use this plugin with winamp but I'm not sure how to do this so I've downloaded MPC and setup the file associations as per your webpage but it's still not working.
My system is a little different than most people's as I have used a utility called nLite to remove components from my Windows XP install such as media player and Internet Explorer. Obviously the codecs for WMV and the like are still needed and these I got from here (http://ksphere.free.fr/site/codecspackage.php).
I can play various video and streaming types through the plugin for firefox on that page.
If you can make some suggestions as to how I might fix this issue I'm willing to test and send back my results and I'll not be mad if we can't get it working
Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks.

Missing Language solution
in nLite
Posted
Interestingly, after using the RVM integrator nlite finds the additional languages. I don't think it did this before.
Anyway, I'm using nLite to remove langauges and keyboards I don't need (after using RVM to integrate) so we'll see what happens...
