I got tired of flashget and DAP7 being tagged as spyware everytime I ran a spyware scan... therefore Leechget wins

It is a Install Shield installer, but a setup.iss with -s and/or -sms doesn't seem to work... any ideas?

what about leechget... not loaded with spyware...

what about a nice CD label... Most of my CDs go into a jacket. BTW, a build date is a useful detail

unless you are maintaining a network install point, avoid slipstreaming. Just wrap the patches in self extracting exe's with silent install switches

format c: /s

Please see the Application Switches forum.

SP2 firewall also prevents these connections... netsh firewall set service remoteadmin enable subnet (subnet or all)

see the application switches forum

unless you are supporting a network, don't do admin install points... It prevents the easy install of patches, esp. if you use LocalInstallSource. Just make a MSO2k3 CD with all the patches wrapped in silent installer packages. and a bat file that installs them.

commandlines to enable certain options in the firewall netsh firewall reset netsh firewall set service fileandprint enable subnet netsh firewall set service remoteadmin enable subnet netsh firewall set service remotedesktop enable subnet netsh firewall set icmpsetting 8 Ping enable subnet use which ever ones you feel necessary

Anyone know what new drivers are included in SP2?

Ryan: I looked (and tried yours), however I went with following your directions to make my own packaged administrative install using winrar ;The comment below contains SFX script commands Setup=acrobatreader.msi /qb-! TempMode Silent=1 Visible progress bar, no cancel button

start /wait "" acrobat\AdbeRdr60_enu_full.exe -p"-s /v\"/qb-\"" start /wait "" acrobat\Acro-Reader_6.0.2_Update.exe /s /v/qb- AdbeRdr602_distrib_enu.exe /qb-

radmin is like 2 or 3 files copied into windir or system32, and then run a command line to register it. It is clearly explained in the manual and on their web site

BTW... I am thinking about adding some common applications this way as well. Packaged up in iexpress packages (or 7zip or rared exe or whatever) like acrobat, winzip (or 7zip), daemon tools, etc. I suppose the requirements would be apps that could install at the 'Switchless2' phase from cmdlines.txt or would it be best from runonce or from a seperate CD. I suppose in a perfect world, MSFN could host all these freeware/shareware repackaged switchless/silent installers (assuming they have infinite storage and bandwidth)... or would it be best to write scripts that would create the package for you and then just host the scripts. Iexpress is scriptable...

well, I did have to do a lot of research for this...: vse80i_installguide.pdf

this must be for the non corp version... with corp I just use: ECHO Installing McAfee... start /wait "" vse80i\setup.exe REBOOT=r ADDLOCAL=ALL /qb-!

Well, I'm at least glad that it wasn't me having some type of brain fart. Perhaps forcing the reg of those inf files might help...

My xpSP1 unattended CD doesn't throw Unsigned driver messages "(Continue Anyway) (Stop Installation)" But my slipstreamed SP2 CD does... Typically for Audio codecs/drivers The winnt.sif is the same (plus some additions for SP2 firewall) Any help?

so far using XPSP2, I have: \Switchless1\ dotnetfx.EXE dotnetfxsp1.EXE MBSASetup-EN.msi WMP10Silent.EXE \Switchless2\ Flash7.EXE MSJAVA1.EXE MSJava2.EXE Shockwave10.EXE \Type2\ WM9Codecs.exe I'm doing a 3 CD system... 1 XP, 2 Office, 3 Apps. So XP is only for XP OS related items

If you extract it with WinRAR, you will see this isn't really 6.02. It is really 6.01.msi and 6.02.mst. 0x0409.ini Abcpy.ini Adobe Reader 6.0.1.msi Data1.cab instmsia.exe instmsiw.exe Rdr602.mst Rdr6020.cab Rdr60ENU.itw setup.exe Setup.ini

I had problems with the USB ports getting initialized just before logon and throwing BSOD Mass Storage failures

things that make you go hmmm...
