i have alredy tryed that, but even that dos not work. I have a dutch version so i did put it in nl-Nl dir but stil i get the old hidden bootscreen

I tryed it for a setup.exe file but i cant find the setup.iss file. Or is this only working for msi files?

Well that i've read but the problem what i have is when i type setup.exe /r it dos'nt record bur it removes. Do i have to need a special program to use that commands? I have installshield 2009 but need i installshield devstudio for it? and where can i get a demo version of it?

Hello everyone, I've searched around the internet but i cannot find anything how to make a iss-file. Or record a setup so i can make a unattended file. Can anybody help me with that. Its not for vista self, but for other software that runs under vista.

Hello Angel, First of all, the part of your SideBar , you have: <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Sidebar" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <SidebarOnByDefault>false</SidebarOnByDefault> <SidebarVisible>false</SidebarVisible> <Gadget1>%PROGRAMFILES%\windows sidebar\gadgets\Clock.Gadget,true</Gadget1> <Gadget3 /> <Gadget2 /> </component> If you dont want to show it at startup after installation try this code: <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Sidebar" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" processorArchitecture="x86"> <SidebarOnByDefault>false</SidebarOnByDefault> </component> The part of your network name, try else the part of what i have, maybe this works fine for you: <settings pass="oobeSystem"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="NonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <AutoLogon> <Password> <Value> </Value> </Password> <Enabled>true</Enabled> <LogonCount>1</LogonCount> <Username>Administrator</Username> </AutoLogon> <OOBE> <HideEULAPage>true</HideEULAPage> <NetworkLocation>Home</NetworkLocation> <ProtectYourPC>3</ProtectYourPC> <SkipMachineOOBE>true</SkipMachineOOBE> <SkipUserOOBE>true</SkipUserOOBE> </OOBE> <Display> <DPI>96</DPI> </Display> <TimeZone>W.

Well there for i opened this discussiong because that i already tryed. I spid down the site of microsoft where they mention that this only is possible when you did not install sp1. In sp1 , Vista dos'nt load winload.exe.mui annymore but the winload.exe file instead , located in the system32 map. If you would open the winload.exe file (not winload.exe.mui) then you will see that this is exactly the same structure only it is digital signed. If you have a virtual server installed and you would try to remove the file in system32 , you will notice that Vista no longer will boot.

Whell the most of you here in this forum knows that you can change the boot screen , by changing in mscongif the option "No Gui" and changing winload.exe.mui. The hidden bootscreen will be shown. But the most of you that have installed service pack 1 have discoverd that it dosn't work annymore. Whell after sp1 is installed , Vista uses winload.exe to show the bootscreen and not winload.exe.mui annymore. The winload.exe file is digital signed and loses this if the file is changed. I have changed winload.exe with a new bootlogo, but i have troubles with the digital signing of that file. Has someone already found a solution for it or found a work around of it? Maybe someone has the pfx file of winload.exe, then i can make it finished?

Oke i've lookt back what i did to make it work. First unpack with WAIK the image file from BOOT.WIM what you need, attention! some vista versions has 2 images inside it and some only 1. Then find in the F:\Boot\sources the file spwizimg.dll Use PE Explorer to open it! You will see 2 maps inside, one with Bitmaps thats what we need!. You see a lot of pictures but we need number 517. Dubble click that picture and you can change it with a semilar picture. Save everything , unmount the BOOT.WIM file back and use it in your Vista Image.

If you want to disable the welcome screen in your Vista unattended.xml just past this code between the "OOBE" part: <SkipUserOOBE>true</SkipUserOOBE> I just tryed it out and it works no welcome screen annymore after installation.

Did the idea of sharing your found result so that another user searching for this same topic will find it here cross your mind? jaclaz Ow i'm sorry i did'nt responce. I will look again to it and wil responce later what i did.

I'm back after a little research At this moment i have found how to disable the sidebar in my vista unanttended , so it dos'nt start if vista is installed. For all the people that also want to do this here is the code to place in the unanttended.xml file: <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Sidebar" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" processorArchitecture="x86"> <SidebarOnByDefault>false</SidebarOnByDefault> </component> Ow and sorry for my english, i'm from holland

I've found, just a little spitting in Google

Hello, I've a question about your picture. I tryed it and i only can change the first picture that is called winpe.bmp. Witch file must i also change to get the same picture by the progressbars that you have?

Hello everyone, I made a Unanttended vista dvd. It works fine, but there are 2 things what i wount to see removed. First if vista is installed i get that welcome screen, how can i remove that so it don't startsup if vista is installed. Second the sidebar, how can i remove that so it also dos'nt start up if vista is done installing? Thx for helping.

Thank you for the responce. I found also another way to do that. In the RunOnce tab, i placed the next lines: cmdow @ /HID net user (account name here!) /delete These two line remove complete the unwanted users.
