Peço imensa desculpa, bitte vielmals um Verzeihung, big sorry ... Instead of the "-r" switch I used "/r" by mistake and wondered why it didn't work.

@SolidasRock So, do you mean that the NVIDIA drivers also install completely when they're "run" from drivers-section instead as a normal program?

@wolfshade I don't know anything about how to activate that QuickLaunch feature. But for that "all users-issue" look at this link, maybe it'll help you: Importing HKEY_CURRENT_USER Registry Tweaks

Hi! I've searched and tried several ways but don't manage to perform an unattended installation of Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004. I unpacked the archive and besides other files it contains a little setup.exe, a tiny setup.ini and a 214 kB big setup.inx. But obviously none of the usual parameters like /s, /sms, /silent, /r or whatever seems to work. And I found no way/program to edit the contents of the setup.inx Does somebody know how to install this software silently by changing its setup options? thx

But how can I achieve that, i.e. saving _registry_ settins to the "default user" so that those setting will be applied whenever a new user profile is created? In the meantime I think this is only possible when importing registry files (.reg) during T-12 stage, according to Importing HKEY_CURRENT_USER Registry Tweaks. I've tested it and created a new key in the HKEY_USERS/.Default-section, but it wasn't imported to a newly created user account. Moreover it seems that the HKEY-USERS/.Default-section in registry is only(?) used when there is no user logged on, i.e. when you see the logon screen. But thanks for all ya help. I'm gonna use the advantages of T-12 stage to achieve my aim and cease wrestling with that msi-registry-sections.

Hi! Just very briefly: will there be changes (i.e. other/newer file versions) in the WinXP recovery console with SP2? thx

That's, of course, one possibility. Just try "WinInstall LE" (Light Edition). It works similar, snapshot and so on. I read something about that tool on the board. Just search for it and you'll find it.

Look there: Windows XP Setup Timeline T-12 (like a countdown) means the stage when the WinXP setup routine indicates that there are 12 minutes left to install. Hhm, I don't see how this reply could answer my question, maybe I mixed up some technical terms. I'll try again: Some software packages store the registration key and other stuff on a per-user basis. So I thought I could use/edit the "HKEY_USER"-section in the msi-packages and save the per-user registry settings there just one time. (Like what must be happening in T-12 stage) My intention is the following: after WinXP is fully installed and I log on a user account the first time, the data from the HKEY_USERS-hive is imported in the current user profile and doesn't has to be entered for that specific user-account manually. Is this right?

Do you mean an active internet connection or just a connection entry in your network to click on when you want to go online?

Hi Spad! Oh, very nice, indeed! I don't have time to apply your hints to my system now, but thanks a lot in advance, I guess they are very useful for me.

Hi! If you import registry settings at T-12 state (e.g. using cmdlines.txt), the HKEY_CURRENT_USER-keys are imported into the default user's profile and therefore will later be available in all user profiles. Okay up to now. My question: can I achieve the same by editing a msi-file/mst-file and writing down the desired keys in the "HKEY_USERS"-section of the msi editing tools? Is that HKEY_USERS section also imported into the defaults user's profile later on? For example: can I add the Alcohol-registration-data to the HKEY_USERS-section and will it be available later on in every XP-user profile? thx

Ah, ic. Yes, that's true, there is no way to modify them (i.e. isx). Well, at least I didn't find any. Still that's annoying b/c Dreamweaver 2004 or Ulead Photo Impact are shipped with these isx-files. And that aren't very old apps.

Hi! When analyzing some of my software installation packages I've come across so called inx-files, e.g. setup.inx in connection with a small-sized setup.exe Obviously the installers of those packages don't understand any command line parameters?!?! So what are those inx-files and what can be done with them? Can they be modified using WinInstall LE or InstallShield Admin Studio? I dunno.

Hi cb3dsl! Very nice thing! I think I wanna listen to music, too, while my setup is running and I favour the Winamp solution as well. But just a question off-topic: what command line parameters r u using 2 install Winamp 5.03? Thanks!

Hi MCT! Sorry for the delay and thanks for ya hint! I'll try that little tool when there's more time for me. But I guess it'll solve my problem. servus

Hi! I'm trying to make an Unattended-XP-installation CD. But I've got problems with my webcam driver, named "Logitech QuickCam Zoom v8.20". I managed to make a mst-file which tells the installation routine to change the default installation folder and so on. (Although there can't be configured really much.) And everything works fine except two annoying things: - I can't suppress the reboot at the end of the installation In the mst-file I defined a new property "Reboot=ReallySuppress", but this doesn't have to seem any effect. - After the reboot when loggin on a configuration wizard for the camera is started. Does anybody happen to know where it stores the configuration data, so that I could import it in the registry? Maybe anyone has experience with that, maybe I'm doing something wrong. I searched the forum for some hints but didn't find any. Thanks & regards!
