@gee : You only need to register wup2.dll, since the other files are already there in i386 (assuming you copied the updated v6 one's) and get registered as a result of normal installation and also since you are merely copying wups2.dll to system32 not integrating it . @body: To get microsoft update to work you require Windows installer 3.1, windows update v6 files and the muweb.dll file. Windows installer link is http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=889482fc-5f56-4a38-b838-de776fd4138c&DisplayLang=en The Windows update v6 files are in the first post of this topic.

yup, 100% sure that cab has the activex control as this is the shortcut used to launch Microsoft Update C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\muweb.dll,LaunchMUSite The file goes to the system32 directory, register the dll and create the shortcut in All Programs to this link C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\muweb.dll,LaunchMUSite havent tested this, and am not sure if more files r required to make this possible.

i believe the file muweb.dll in this cab is what your looking for. http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/V5Controls/en/x86/client/muweb_site.cab?1120212506406 though i still havent tested this.

I say again, any chance of putting this as login screen http://home.tiscali.nl/~veenm010/Win%20XP%20Restyled%20edition.png

Great work xpero. Ahhh new versions of both xplode and xpize have been released, time to rebuild the DVD.

Not really, you download XPlode from the site again, and it'll work for another three weeks. It doesn't expire because you've extracted it - it expires regarding the build date. And the syntax won't change, so even if you write it for this version, it will still work for the next. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yup, hard coded to expire 3weeks after build date. Anyway, jumping into xplode for first time after version 1, wish me luck.

oooh lots has happened over here since i was gone.

a new logon like this one http://xpskins-tss2000.org/Win%20XP%20Restyled%20edition640.png

maybe a new logon screen.

i never managed to get the nvidia ethernet drivers to be automatically installed by xp during install, but you could try integrating them with nLite, and then use the normal method given in the msfn unattended website.

the setup is installshield based, so , copy paste from msfn unattended website, InstallShield To silently install a package that uses InstallShield, you will have to first create a setup.iss file on a working operating system. Use a test PC if you can. 1. Start the setup application using the -R (case-sensitive) switch from command prompt. e.g: Setup.exe -R 2. The setup screens will appear as they normally would, asking you questions as you go along, such as destination directory, etc. It's important that you do not choose the "Restart the computer now" option. If you do, you will terminate your batch when you run an unattended installation. 3. After installation has completed, go to your C:\Windows\ (or C:\WINNT\) directory and take out the setup.iss file. Put this setup.iss file in the same directory where your application setup.exe file resides in. 4. Start the Silent installation using: start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Application\Application_name\Setup.exe -s 5. Repeat the steps for other setup applications that uses InstallShield. » Installing Installshield Applications from RunOnceEx CD Installshield applications will fail to install when executed from RunOnceEx on CD, unless a log file location is specified. An example of this is shown below, adapt this example for your InstallShield applications (shown in bold): REG ADD %KEY%\045 /VE /D "Kerio Personal Firewall 2.1.5" /f REG ADD %KEY%\045 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\apps\KPF\Setup.exe -s -f2\"%systemdrive%\kerio.log\"" /f You can then use a cleanup.cmd file to delete the kerio.log file afterwards. » How do I identify an InstallShield package? Most of them can be extracted. The Properties box of Setup.exe should show something like "InstallShield (R) Setup Launcher" or something similar. And lastly, if you see a setup.iss file in the directory, then its definitely InstallShield!

Ahhh, now i have to port to xplode4 !!!! Keepup the great work

Ahhh, replying in xplode after so many days, exams ended a few days back. An XMl editor, if its not too much.
