Hi Folks after everyones help in various forums i have managed to create my 1st unattended cd......but with mixed sucess Im using Nlite and i thought i understood it well. Can someone check through my winnt.sif file and answer the few questions i have please Im also testing my cd on a virtual machine Winnt.Sif ; Generated by nLite 1.4.8 [Data] AutomaticUpdates="Yes" Autopartition=1 MsDosInitiated=0 UnattendedInstall="Yes" [unattended] UnattendMode=DefaultHide UnattendSwitch="Yes" OemPreinstall="Yes" OemSkipEula="Yes" FileSystem=* WaitForReboot="No" NoWaitAfterTextMode=1 NoWaitAfterGUIMode=1 DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore NonDriverSigningPolicy=Ignore AutoActivate=YES OemSkipWelcome=1 [Display] Xresolution=1024 Yresolution=768 BitsPerPel=32 Vrefresh=75 [systemRestore] MaximumDataStorePercentOfDisk=10 [GuiUnattended] EncryptedAdminPassword="No" AutoLogon="Yes" TimeZone=085 OEMSkipRegional=1 OemSkipWelcome=1 [shell] DefaultStartPanelOff="Yes" [Components] msmsgs=off AccessOpt=off msnexplr=off zonegames=off Media_clips=off Dialer=off Fax=off Hypertrm=off Media_utopia=off Mousepoint=off Media_clips=off Templates=off TerminalServer=off Deskpaper=off [WindowsFirewall] Profiles=WindowsFirewall.TurnOnFirewall [WindowsFirewall.TurnOnFirewall] Mode = 1 [userData] ProductKey="************" ComputerName=JOHNS FullName="John" OrgName="Mine" [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 SystemLocale="0809" UserLocale="0809" UserLocale_DefaultUser="0809" InputLocale="0809:00000809" InputLocale_DefaultUser="0809:00000809" [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents="Yes" [identification] JoinWorkgroup="workgroup" [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\start.cmd 1) I want to install Win XP as my c drive with no partations and formatted by NTFS 2) The install still asks me to insert a Computer name 3) I get this error message "error creating process <tzchange.exe /f "egypt standard time" /s the system cannot find the file specfied, and if i click on ok the install continues - now im not aware of removing anything like this, but is there a way i can add it back 4) Im the only one that uses my pc so i only require 1 username and i dont want a password. but when the install had finished i had 3 usernames john the one i wanted and 2 others (New User & Owner). how do i make it so they extra 2 users dont get set up and it loads straight onto my desktop 5) Is there a command or something that i can run after the first bootup (only) that will allow me to close programs or reboot my machine again 6) My display settings (size, depth and refresh rate) are never set to what i have in my Winnt.sif file....is this because im using a virtual machine? 7) Somewhere in nLite i have disable Theme Services...is the an easy / quick way to reinsate the service so it loads on startup? Thanks everyone for looking.....if i can get half of these problems solved i will be a very happy chappy Thanks Jid

Thanks elajua That seems to have done the trick

if i do a normall install when i start the program it asks me for my serial which i put it...everything then works ok.... i have tried several times on the comman line install (in case of typos)

Hey Acheron Can you expand on why it wont work....does the reg file need to be run?? Also u mentioned i needed the installer and not nero.exe. can you let me know where i can get the installer from then as i thought that was the file on the first post thanks

Thanks for your reply Acheron I actually found a work around anyway....if you install using nero.exe and the manually enter your serial number / username it creates a reg file in the nero folder.... if you copy and past this reg file into the directory after you install...its registers the prog jid

hey bbrian if you know the name of the proccess i can help

Hi Folks Just tried this today (downloaded the 8.3.6.0 version from the first post) and used the following to execute nero.exe /silent /norestart /user=jid /serial=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx (where x is replaced by my actually code) everything installs silent which is good...but when i try to run "Nero Express" it tells me to put my code in so i copy and paste the code from the command line and it then accepts it..... can someone please check that i have got the command line correct please.... also can someone tell me how to get a shortcut to "Nero Express" on my desktop after installing, as nothing is created thanks Jid

Hi radix thanks for that...i could only get it to work though if i left it as the orignal filename thanks jid

thanks elajua and Martin H after looking throught the forums alot and the guide again....i have actually gone along the [guirunonce] route as i have managed to find 90% of the apps i want to install along with the codes.... i just need to find how to get them to install from the cd now as im sure they will be copied over... thanks again for your help though...much appreciated

Works for me Thanks FenyX

Hi Folks Is it possible to do a silent install on Google Desktop I have tried the following switches /S /s /Silent /? /help but its still asks for my input any ideas please i tried searching but got 33 pages Thanks Jid

Hi Folks I have a Belkin Bluetooth USB Adaptor and i have a cd with all the files on to get these to auto install on my unattendeed cd, do i need to treat them like an application (by adding the setup file under [GuiRunOnce] or do i treat them like a driver (http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/35/) I have tried following the instructions for a "installShield" install but it didnt create the setup.iss Sorry if it seems like a realy obvious question, but im getting myself all confused now Thanks in advance Jid

Hey keytotime I have my drivers and CCC on a cd that i got with my pc could you explain please (if you can) how i would use my cd with your instrucations thanks jid

hmm ill try it again later for testing purposes i have been putting files in c:\1 and then in the run command i been putting c:\1\sopcast /S am i right in thinking this is a good way to test....also does it matter that i have renamed the setup file thanks radix
