Are u applying custom Reg tweaks, if yes then there might be some tweak that is switching of your theme service or the 'use visual style on windows on buttons' property. Check your tweaks carefully cause this has happened to a friend of mine.

Youre right about the 'R' Dunno much about 'f1'.

Within your SB_CD, there's a folder called Audio, within that folder navigate to surmixer, this is where the Mixer is located, to get it to go silent do this, 1). Navigate to the surmixer folder through cmd prompt, then type 'setup.exe -r', without the quotes, go through the setup process as you would normally, if it asks to restart DO NOT DO IT, say restart later. 2). Goto your Windows folder and search for a file 'setup.iss', this is the answer file for your silent install. 3). Put it into the same folder as the setup.exe and use -s switch to silent install .

I used to get pink spaces when the actual image size is less tham what I want in the xml.

Thanks Mazin, it works in VBSCRIPT aswell.

whats the syntax

can getwin be used in vbscript ?

Great suggestion MCT, I removed all the spaces and the comments and reduced my code to as small as possible (79Kb). Now the processor usage has dropped from 90 to 10. Yet to test the time to install, but i think now that xplode uses less, other processes will become fast.

You maybe right, i have a lot of empty places and empty lines to make the code clear, i'll remove those and see how it goes, aas for running xplode through xpinstall, i launce a vbs through xpinstall which pskills xpinstall and starts xplode.

I use xplode for my unattended CD now and for some reason it's very slow compared to xpinstall, has someone else got this problem ? I need xplode cause i use the nowait switch to install vbs apps, if anyone knows how to install apps using vbs through xpinstall it would be of great help, I do the complete install from the CD. Or i was thinking of calling xplode through xpinstall to do the install of apps that use vbs.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TuneUp\Utilities\4.0] "Company"="Home" "InstallPath"="C:\\Program Files\\TuneUp Utilities 2004\\" "UserName"="NAME" "InstallDate"=hex:bd,64,e2,11,11,a1,e2,40 "UseCounter"=dword:00000001 "RegCode"="XXX_XXXX_X_X_X__X_XX_" save this as registery.reg and execute it after tuneup install, by the way what switch do you use, it never installs silently for me, i wrote a vbscript to install it. Change the name and regcode to your values.

i dont know why i wasted my time making the script, killerbee's right, though you might wanna pskill iexplore.exe aswell.

dunno of any silent switches for dap here's the automated script u could use Pute dap and this script (put it in notepad and save as dap.vbs, make sure its not dap.vbs.txt) in the same folder also put pskill in the same folder, you could use %systemdrive% variable instead of C:\, and change folder path's accordingly, change name, company, etc. according to your preferences, here's the script, Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") On Error Resume Next WshShell.Run ("C:\dap\dap72.exe") WScript.Sleep 7000 WshShell.SendKeys "n" WScript.Sleep 500 WshShell.SendKeys "a" WScript.Sleep 500 WshShell.SendKeys "NAME" WScript.Sleep 500 WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" WScript.Sleep 500 WshShell.SendKeys "COMPANY" WScript.Sleep 500 WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" WScript.Sleep 500 WshShell.SendKeys "EMAIL@ADDRESS.COM" WScript.Sleep 500 WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" WScript.Sleep 500 WshShell.SendKeys "{ }" WScript.Sleep 500 WshShell.SendKeys "n" WScript.Sleep 500 WshShell.SendKeys "{DOWN 3}" WScript.Sleep 500 WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" WScript.Sleep 500 WshShell.SendKeys "{DOWN}" WScript.Sleep 500 WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" WScript.Sleep 500 WshShell.SendKeys "{DOWN}" WScript.Sleep 500 WshShell.SendKeys "%n" WScript.Sleep 500 WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB 4}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{ }" WScript.Sleep 500 WshShell.SendKeys "n" WScript.Sleep 500 WshShell.SendKeys "n" WScript.Sleep 500 WshShell.SendKeys "n" WScript.Sleep 20000 WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" WScript.Sleep 500 WshShell.SendKeys "{ }" WScript.Sleep 500 WshShell.SendKeys "f" WScript.Sleep 12000 WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" WScript.Sleep 500 WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}" WScript.Sleep 500 WshShell.SendKeys "y" WScript.Sleep 500 WshShell.Run ("C:\dap\pskill.exe iexplore.exe") Wscript.Quit

also here's the regtweaks i use tweaks.zip

I have converted my xml to xplode's syntax Here it is. XPlode.zip

something was surely wrong, I opened the xml with wordpad, and said save in unicode format, that semed to cure it.It works now.

nope, this is what it gives. - <XPlode> - <config> <hidewindow>Windows Update</hidewindow> <hidewindow>CMD.EXe</hidewindow> <show total="6" after="2" subcount="true" /> - <!-- make antialiasing false if you're running GUIinstall mode --> <font face="Tahoma" antialias="false" small="8" large="12" /> - <!-- note the position attribute - it is listed in 'x,y' positions. --> - <!-- 0..8 still may be used. --> <window width="440" position="8" fixmain="0" /> - <!-- can be standalone, guitransparent, or guiredraw --> - <!-- for the latter two, you don't need to specify background colours, or images. --> <windowmode mode="standalone" /> - <colours> <header back="#003399" fore="#FFFFFF" image="%XPLODE%\images\head.png" /> <footer back="#003399" fore="#FFFFFF" image="%XPLODE%\images\foot.png" /> <progress border="#FFFFFF" back="#00000000" fore="#FFFFFFAA" fore2="#00000033" /> <main back="#FF00FF" fore="#FFFFFF" current="#FFFF00" description="#FFFFFF" image="%XPLODE%\main.png" overlay="#FFFFFF22" /> </colours> - <strings> - <!-- main XPlode string --> <title>Post-Install Configuration</title> <complete>complete</complete> - <!-- adduser plugin strings --> <adduser>Adding user #1#</adduser> <addusertogroup>Adding user #1# to group #2#</addusertogroup> <addgroup>Adding group #1#</addgroup> - <!-- file/dir ops plugin strings --> <copy>Copying #1# (#2#/#3# - #4#)</copy> <move>Moving #1# (#2#/#3# - #4#)</move> <delete>Deleting #1# (#3#)</delete> - <!-- shortcut plugin --> <shortcut>Adding shortcut: #1#</shortcut> </strings> </config> - <items> - <item display="Microsoft Windows XP Pre-SP2 Patches - Critical"> <execute display="Q324230 - A Domain Driver-Signing Policy Is Not Applied (1 of 38)." program="D:\Slipstreaming_Project\Completed\patches\Q324230_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe" arguments="/q /n /o /z" /> </item> </items> </XPlode>
