[How do i make an iss-file?]

I tryed it for a setup.exe file but i cant find the setup.iss file.

Or is this only working for msi files?

[How do i make an iss-file?]

Lazy answer: read this page. A quick google search for "installshield silent switches" or something similar would also have found the documentation on acresso's site like here

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?

[How do i make an iss-file?]

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:

[A little discussion from my side about winload.exe]

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.

[A little discussion from my side about winload.exe]

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?

[Boot.wim]

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.

[disable welcome screen and Sidebar]

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.

[Boot.wim]

I've found, just a little spitting in Google

Did the idea of sharing your found result so that another user searching for this same topic will find it here cross your mind?

[disable welcome screen and Sidebar]

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

[Remove unwanted users.]

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.

[Remove unwanted users.]

Right click My Computer and select Manage to open the Computer Management console.

Under System Tools, expand Local Users and Groups then click on Users.

yes thats right and i did know that, but is it possible to do that in the setup automaticly?

[Remove unwanted users.]

Hello everyone,

I have made a unattended xp dvd from my windowsxp oem cd.

I use NLite to create it.

In NLite i see that there are 2 users created in the tab "Users" called "administrator" and "guest".

I created also one with my name.

If i look, i can remove my name but not "administrator" and "guest".

So the result is when everything is installed and xp goes into screensaver and i hit the space bar, there are 3 accounts.

How can i disable "administrator" and "guest" so i can only see my name when i must login?

[Remove all programs in install dir?]

RD /S /Q "%SystemDrive%\Install"

Thank you, so mutch.

[Remove all programs in install dir?]

I think that my topic is in the wrong part but i don't know where to place it.

I have made a Unattended xp dvd with software.

If everything is installed there is a dir on my c-drive with called Install where all the installed software is put in.

This is offcource not anymore needed, so can anyone tell me how i can remove it with a runonce command?

Sorry for my bad english and wrong posting

[Hello every one.]

Hello people from msfn,

My name is pascal and i'm from the netherlands.

I just found your site because i want to try to make my own unattended windows dvd.

I'm sick of working with allot of dvd's from the manufactory or from images from a harddrive.

I think this is a great side to make those things.

So go on with it and make the world a better place

Keep on this good work everyone.
