I have the similar problem with yours. I have a LG 52x32x52 Combo drive and a LG 16x DVD-RW.After i use the DVD-RW to burn my UA winxp DVD, I insert the DVD disk into Combo drive and click to open the drive.Strangely,it asks me to insert disk as if no disk exists.Then I reboot, the pc boots directly into system intead of booting into DVD with no error,no prompt given.I try inserting other CD and DVD disks , everything is ok. But when I insert the DVD into the DVD-RW,everything works fine as well as bootable after reboot the pc. I am sure the BIOS configuration is correct.I am not an id***,of course, What is ironic is that when i shutdown the pc or unplug and then re-plug the CD cable ,the god **** Combo works perfectly again,bootable and readable. I also try using other Combo(sony) and DVD-RW(benq), the result remains the same.I am really confused by this annoying thing. Anyone knows why?

you can use setx.exe which can be obtained from XPCD\support\tools\support.cab,place it in $OEM$\$$\system32 Execute a batch file containing the following code @T12(from cmdline.txt) setx SOURCE -k HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\SourcePath -m this will establish a system environment variable called "SOURCE" which stands for the CD drive you install XP from use [RuiRunOnce] %SOURCE%install.cmd %SOURCE%something ................... to perform your job Note the path does not contain a backlash "\" hope this helps a bit

sorry for my poor English.Maybe this suggestion has been mentioned before. What I want to say is why not add some function to let XPlode choose target pc(depending on computer name) current instruction will be executed for. Maybe it can be like as follows or or By using <target></target> tag , instructions will only be executed depending on the "name" parameter. Of course, if the value specified (except for "All" value) doesn't match the current PC name, instructions will not be executed by default. Therefore,with just one xml file, we can perform the whole installs for multiple PCs intead of creating multiple xml files for each one.There are too many jobs,you know. I think it is not so difficulty to achieve,just a few condition judgement. And obtaining current PC name is also an easy job in programming. So,Wraith,do you think whether my suggestion is feasible or not?

umm.. sounds feasible.will try it in the next install. thx anyway..

i use RyanVM's switchless edition and do no change during the whole install process. Everything is by default. any suggestion?

I have the same problem too. After the UA install of winxp, I launch adobe reader 7 for the first time.And then a MSI configuring window pops up asking me to insert FrontPage 2003 CD. So..how to avoid that annoying window,anyone has got an idea?

Use what tool? Anyone knows that?

i have a problem with 3.3 when i use relative path in the cmd file that is placed at the root of the UA CD to execute WPI.hta, an anoying javascript runtime error occurs. cmdow @ /HID @ECHO OFF for %%i in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%i:\WIN51 set CDROM=%%i: regedit /S .\WPI\wpi.reg start .\WPI\WPI.hta EXIT but when i use absolute path everything works fine.so what's problem and how to solve it? cmdow @ /HID @ECHO OFF for %%i in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%i:\WIN51 set CDROM=%%i: regedit /S .\WPI\wpi.reg start F:\WinXP_Pro_En_Vol\WPI\WPI.hta EXIT

version 3.2.3 when set the "Display Sorted" to "no",it gives me an error message.see the attached image below

thx very much...i just need it..

Could someone send me a latest copy of WPI (by hasi001) ? i just cant download it from the website.. any helps appreciated.. my EM: admin@2000c.com.cn

after installed winxp pro integrated with sp2...some .msi files can not be executed normally..such us Microsoft Applocale,Tuneup Utility,Calculator Power toy..and the pop up window alerts, "the feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disk that is not available." but these files could be installed properly during my software installation process @T12 So,what's wrong,anybody knows that?

i think the prob is that you miss a quote before the %CDROM% var

execute the main setup program ... when the first window pops up asking you to press NEXT to proceed , click cancel...then go to %systemroot%\Downloaded Installations\Diskeeper Professional to get the msi file,use the msi file to install your DK instead hope this heps

i would like to know how to backup the user account and corresponding data from outlook express, and how to restore them during the next unattended installation of OS xp? any idea? thanks....

According to the clarification posted before,Environment Variables were not supported in cmdlines.txt,you should use a batch file to do the job instead,then call the batch file from cmdline.txt using relative path

cheers... it does work,thanks for both suggestion

i want to know how can i associate media types with the specified media player? i.e. if i want to use winamp as the default player for *.mp3, WinDVD for DVD and WMP10 only for *.wma how can i implement that? any suggestion appreciated!

my recommendation is.. why not add some fuction like the username & password to install apps for different PCs according to the current computer name? i.e. if the argument "TargetPC"(like the username and password) is specified, the current job will be done for that PC. Otherwise,will be done by default (for any pc).. thus...i can use just one xml file to do the job for multiple PCs according to purpose intead of wasting time creating each xml file one by one.... what do you think?

sorry for my ignorance.. what i want to do is to read a value from registry,and then assign it to a declared variable in a bat file? how to achieve that? any suggestion appreciated..

thx in advance... BTW...i love that movie too.The hero is my fetish...so............

how to change that during a xp pro installation,i mean the mini picture shown on the top-left corner when click "START" button.. thx
