Sorry i know this is a bit of an old thread but it relates to my issue.. trying to get knoppix v-4 to run off my AIO dvd. Has latest UBCD (dos) on it and win xp so far. All is working except knoppix. I dont know if i am using a different version of bcdw but when i run bcdw /isolinux/isolinux.bin I get an error saying invalid BCDW command. I have it set up in cdshell menu like this if ($lastKey == key[f1]); then bcdw /ISOLINUX/isolinux.bin I dont know if that matters or not though. I used cdimage like this to make the iso, then used virtual pc to test. E:\>start cdimage.exe -lAIODVD -h -j1 -b\AIO-DVD\BOOT\loader.bin -o -m -yd -k \AIO-DVD E:\AIODVD.iso Sounds like a syntax error or something.. anyone have any suggestions? EDIT: Very sorry everyone, I did do a search in the forum, nothing came up... however IF I had spelt BCDW correctly I would have found a post stating bcdw v 2 has different syntax... if ($lastKey == key[f1]); then bcdw boot /ISOLINUX/isolinux.bin again sorry for the silly post :/

Thank you!!! I have been looking all over to find out how to get alcohol 120 to stop bringing up the "found new hardware wizard" . If in install alcohol from a batch file under winnt.sif, seems to work great, but if i use RunOnceEx.cmd from cmdlines.txt It stops and brings up that wizaed, if i cancel it all is ok, i install daemon tools as well so i dont need the virtual drive from alcohol. Thanks again!!!

I use convert if i have to...works good for me.

thanks WwTIPPYwW worked geat never used winrar to do that beofre. I will from now on though

Ahha! found it... ;Disable Windows File Protection [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogonAdd] "SFCDisable"=dword:FFFFFF9D Thats the only reg file i found though. not even sure if i should use SFC

My unattend xp install runs great until one day i decide to run system file checker. I put my i386 dir in $OEM$\$1 so it would be copied to my C:\ after the install then i added gosh's info to a reg file Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup] "SourcePath"="%systemroot%" "ServicePackSourcePath"="%systemroot%" But when ever i run SFC it cant find the folder and keeps prompting for the cd. Shouldnt SFC be able to get the files from the i386 dir? Thanks

Thanks i think vmware just takes longer to load explorer.

Trying that right now.. Does it make .msi packages ?? Thanks

Looks ok to me, but i'm by no means the one to ask...but as far as the wasteing a dvd I use VMware or virtual pc and cdimage to make the iso file, then mount with daemon tools, that way i can test my images and if they really die on me, oh well nothing wasted start cdimage.exe -lAIODVD2 -b\AIO-DVD2\BOOT\loader.bin -h -n -o -m \AIO-DVD2 E:\AIODVD2.iso The "-o" switch (optimize) i love i have 1 gig of files compressed down to 672 megs....**** nice! BTW: welcome to the forum, i dont think i have closed the page since i found it.

never even though of that.. What would the syntax be to extract once its place in $OEM$\$1\install\applications or would i set up the extraction location from with in winrar? IE: %programfiles%\trillian Thanks

I found that trillian doesnt use any registry keys except to uninstall What i'm trying to do is copy The trillian driectory i put in $OEM$\$1\install\applications to my program files directory then make a shortcut to put on all users desktop.

Nothing in there for making a shortcut yet, just trying to get the directory copied over.

I think it may have something to do with vmware. I just threw the .cmd file into my startup folder and restarted, and it worked the way its supposed to. Although I dont know if that is really the same..

hmmm same thing happened Shutdown started, then the dos window colsed...then shutdown aborted. Could this have something to do with me using vmare? Or is there something wrong with my file?

ok trying that now in vmware all i have in there now is ECHO. ECHO Cleaning up temp files... RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\install ECHO. ECHO Restarting The PC In 1 Minute shutdown.exe -r -f -t 70 -c "Windows XP will now restart in 1 minute, this will give enough time for the shortcuts to update and for the shell to fully load before its ready to restart!" EXIT

ok i removed the start /wait... But is'nt explorer suposed to fully load before it shuts down? Sorry the odd question.

Ok, in my cleanup.cmd file i have the following ECHO. ECHO Cleaning up temp files... RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\install ECHO. ECHO Restarting The PC In 1 Minute start /wait shutdown.exe -r -f -t 60 -c "Windows XP will now restart in 1 minute, this will give enough time for the shortcuts to update and for the shell to fully load before its ready to restart!" EXIT This seems to work ok, but the EXIT part.. If i leave the EXIT at the end, shutdown runs, then the dos window closes, and shutdown gets aborted some how. If i remove the EXIT command ECHO. ECHO Cleaning up temp files... RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\install ECHO. ECHO Restarting The PC In 1 Minute start /wait shutdown.exe -r -f -t 60 -c "Windows XP will now restart in 1 minute, this will give enough time for the shortcuts to update and for the shell to fully load before its ready to restart!" Shutdown starts, but the dos window behind it stays and exporer doesnt seem to load. Is this suposed to happen? Will this be a problem for all the programs and hotfixes that installed? When the system restars after, everything "seems" ok. I guess i am just expecting to run shutdown, and during those 60 seconds explorer will load...then shutdown. Hopefully i'm making sense.. I think its the "this will give enough time for the shortcuts to update and for the shell to fully load before its ready to restart! Thats throwing me off perhaps.

So far there are no updates for spybot 1.3 This is what I use...so far it works ECHO. ECHO Installing Spybot SD v1.3 start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\spybot\spybotsd13.exe /VERYSILENT /NOCANCEL /TASKBARHIDE /AUTOCLOSE Hope that helps

Thanks dev2761 I'm not sure MCT when i run setup.exe /? or /help or anything It just runs setup as normal. I'm not even sure there are any switches for it.

I get the same thing using svcpack.inf. Seems to create a load of temp directories.

I tried those I tried running the setup.exe /? Didnt give me anyswitches though. Someone had made a .vbs script, which I cant seem to find now It worked great too. Oh well gotta keep trying

I have been trying too. I tried avg admin, but i i think it only works for the pro version .
