Thanks! I haven't tested it yet, but I trust it works

When you log onto Windows XP for the first time you get a popup on the Start menu button saying something like 'Click here to begin and stuff'. How can I get rid of this (with a registry setting)? Thanks in advance!

WTF! I've just tested it, but it doesn't work anymore AT ALL! So I guess it isn't the bootmenu.... But I don't understand, I didn't change anything except for that...

Darnit, it didn't help... Any more thoughts?

Funny you'd say that, I was just trying... I'm making the ISO file at the moment, after that I'll just install it on Virtual PC and let you know if it works.

Well, Ive tried the JOLIET thing, didnt help...

i do not use the 8.3 option, but i don't use the JOLIET option. you think thats it?

The folder IS copied over, but I have added no drivers, so I don't know about that

Oh my mistake, you're right, after the first time Welcome screen it should run, but it doesn't run AT ALL. And it did before I added the bootmenu.

GuiRunOnce in winnt.sif

the whole installation runs unattended as specified in winnt.sif, but after the first boot a script called start.cmd is supposed to run which doesn't. it is located in the folder \$oem$\$1\install. it has always worked, until I added the bootmenu thingie. And it hasn't been changed either.

Yes, thats the situation (except the I have everything in C:\disk1). I make the ISO using EasyBoot itself, cause then I can pick the loader.bin as bootsector, else I won't get the menu.

I made the two options in the menu already, but i havent yet put the files on the cd-rom, so only the Pro version is on the disk, in the root. (So not in a different directory or anything yet, just <cdrom>\i386 and stuff. and because i dont have special dir's, i havent edited the setupdlr or w2ksect)

I'm trying to make a bootcd with Windows XP SP2 Home and Pro on them, with unattended installs. I made and tested all the scripts and stuff, and made i menu with easyboot, but the unattended part doesn't work with the menu. Well, it only works partly. The installation is unattended, but the scripts that SHOULD run (they should, they have been tested thoroughly) after the first boot, dont get run when i boot using the menu. I tried running the w2ksec.bin from the root, and i tried using a boot sector i extracted from my original SP2 pro cd using IsoBuster, but they both give the same problem. can anyone help me? thank you in advance!

How do I install this using the .cmd file and the update file hmtcdwizard_enu.exe? I've searched for a bit but couldn't find it, although I found one using a .msi version of the installer, but I don't know how to get that. Some help or tips would be greatly appreciated! (I'm a first-timer)

Exact same situation here... Can someone help?
