I have posted instructions for Thunderbird here. The unattended methods used are identical.

I posted previously the scripts I use to install Firefox unattended. Making Thunderbird 2.0.0.x unattended is not very different. My script also sets Thunderbird as the default email and news client install.inf [Version] Signature="$Windows NT$" [DefaultInstall] AddReg = Thunderbird.AddReg CopyFiles = Thunderbird.CopyFiles,GrePrefs.CopyFiles RunPostSetupCommands = Thunderbird.Install:1 UpdateInis = override.ini [DestinationDirs] ;Thunderbird install dir Thunderbird.CopyFiles = 16422,"Mozilla Thunderbird" GrePrefs.CopyFiles = 16422,"Mozilla Thunderbird\greprefs" [Thunderbird.CopyFiles] ;General config file "thunderbird.cfg" [GrePrefs.CopyFiles] ;Enable general config file "_config.js" [Thunderbird.Install] ;Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 """%01%\Thunderbird20019%LANG_ID%.exe"" /INI=%16422%\Mozilla Thunderbird\override.ini" ;Create default profile """%16422%\Mozilla Thunderbird\Thunderbird.exe"" -CreateProfile default" ;Install addons "cmd /c for %%e in (""%01%\Addons\*.xpi"") do start ""Installing Thunderbird addons"" /wait ""%%programfiles%%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe"" -install-global-extension ""%%e""" ;Install themes "cmd /c for %%e in (""%01%\Themes\*.jar"") do start ""Installing Thunderbird themes"" /wait ""%%programfiles%%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe"" -install-global-theme ""%%e""" [Thunderbird.AddReg] ;Set thunderbird as default mail and news handler HKCR,".eml",,0x0,"ThunderbirdEML" HKCR,"CLSID\{29F458BE-8866-11D5-A3DD-00B0D0F3BAA7}",,0x0,"Mozilla MAPI" HKCR,"CLSID\{29F458BE-8866-11D5-A3DD-00B0D0F3BAA7}\LocalServer32",,0x0,"%16422%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe /MAPIStartUp" HKCR,"CLSID\{29F458BE-8866-11D5-A3DD-00B0D0F3BAA7}\VersionIndependentProgID",,0x0,"MozillaMapi" HKCR,"mailto\DefaultIcon",,0x0,"%16422%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe,0" HKCR,"mailto\shell\open\command",,0x0,"""%16422%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe"" -osint -compose ""%%1""" HKCR,"news\DefaultIcon",,0x0,"%16422%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe,0" HKCR,"news\shell\open\command",,0x0,"""%16422%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe"" -osint -mail ""%%1""" HKCR,"nntp\DefaultIcon",,0x0,"%16422%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe,0" HKCR,"nntp\shell\open\command",,0x0,"""%16422%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe"" -osint -mail ""%%1""" HKCR,"snews\DefaultIcon",,0x0,"%16422%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe,0" HKCR,"snews\shell\open\command",,0x0,"""%16422%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe"" -osint -mail ""%%1""" HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail",,0x0,"Mozilla Thunderbird" HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Mozilla Thunderbird\shell\properties",,0x0,"%TB_OPTIONS%" HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Clients\News",,0x0,"Mozilla Thunderbird" [override.ini] "%16422%\Mozilla Thunderbird\override.ini","Install",,"CloseAppNoPrompt=true" "%16422%\Mozilla Thunderbird\override.ini","Install",,"DesktopShortcut=false" "%16422%\Mozilla Thunderbird\override.ini","XRE",,"EnableProfileMigrator=false" [Strings] TB_OPTIONS="Thunderbird &Options" [Strings.0413] LANG_ID="nl" TB_OPTIONS="Thunderbird-&opties" _config.js pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);

To install Thunderbird using the AdvancedINF command you simply add the following command to your unattended install script: "rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection .\PATH\TO\THUNDERBIRD\install.inf,,1"

KB951978 is reported after a fresh install of Windows XP SP3 using the July Update List. Everything else is fine

You are right, fixed now. Well the script does look a bit complicated, once you have configured your settings it is very easy to maintain.

After testing on my running system I see indeed any changes to all.js are overwritten. Also the UpdateInis method makes a mess of any js file when running the installation script multiple times, as no ini section was specified. I have updated the first post with new instructions. The config file is now enabled by a separate js file _config.js.

Fixed link to ArniWorx installer, also updated scripts for Daemon Tools Lite 4.30.0. Finally Daemon Tools decided to remove the adware from it.

I looked a bit at the source code, but as I see it still uses Reshack to do resource modifications. It will not be hard to alter these scripts. I also use Reshack scripts to build Nero Lite. I don't use XPize personally at the moment, but I keep the source code for now. Some parts might be useful.

I don't support the RecodeSDK, since I'm not the author of it. Perhaps it is better to start a new thread for the Recode Addon.

Here is an working version of the AutoIt scripts I use to install Daemon Tools Lite silently. Unfortunately it's not possible to avoid installation of the Daemon Tools Toolbar and Search plugins so I remove them afterwards. ArniWorx is no longer supported. All install files are copied to the hard disc during setup, as Daemon Tools is installed after logon. At this stage users might have removed the CD from the cd drive. cmdlines.txt rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection .\Install\Daemon Tools\install.inf,,1 install.inf [Version] Signature = "$Windows NT$" [DefaultInstall] RunPreSetupCommands = SPTD.Install:1 CopyFiles = DaemonTools.CopySetup AddReg = Register.AddReg [SPTD.Install] ;SPTD-driver 1.62 """%01%\SPTDinst-v162-x86.exe"" add /q" [DestinationDirs] ;All users application data directory DaemonTools.CopySetup = 16419,"DAEMON Tools" [DaemonTools.CopySetup] "daemon4355-lite.exe" "install_dtools.au3" [Register.AddReg] ;Install Daemon Tools after reboot HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\000","DAEMON Tools Lite",0,"autoit3.exe ""%16419%\DAEMON Tools\install_dtools.au3""" ;Start Daemon Tools for all users HKCU,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run","DAEMON Tools Lite",0x0,"""%16422%\DAEMON Tools Lite\DTLite.exe"" -autorun" ;User settings HKCU,"SOFTWARE\DT Soft\DAEMON Tools Pro\Config","Automount",0x10001,01,00,00,00 HKCU,"SOFTWARE\DT Soft\DAEMON Tools Pro\Config","Autostart",0x10001,01,00,00,00 HKCU,"SOFTWARE\DT Soft\DAEMON Tools Pro\Config","CheckForUpdate",0x10001,00,00,00,00 HKCU,"SOFTWARE\DT Soft\DAEMON Tools Pro\View","Language",0x10001,"%LANG_ID%" [Strings] LANG_ID="1033" [Strings.0413] LANG_ID="1043" install_dtools.au3 #RequireAdmin #NoTrayIcon $DTTITLE = "Daemon Tools Lite" $DTVERSION = "4.35.5" $INSTALLDIR = @ProgramFilesDir & "\DAEMON Tools Lite" $EXENAME = "daemon4355-lite.exe" ;Read from registry the default search engine of IE7 or IE8 (to restore it after the installation of DAEMON Tools Lite) $IEVersion = FileGetVersion(@ProgramFilesDir & "\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe") $IEVersion = StringLeft($IEVersion, 1) If $IEVersion >= 7 Then $IEDefaultSearchEngine = RegRead("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes", "DefaultScope") If @Error Then $IEDefaultSearchEngine = "{0633EE93-D776-472f-A0FF-E1416B8B2E3A}" EndIf EndIf ;Launch Daemon Tools setup RunWait(@ScriptDir & "\" & $EXENAME & " /S") ;Uninstall DAEMON Tools Toolbar RunWait(@ProgramFilesDir & "\DAEMON Tools Toolbar\uninst.exe /S") FileDelete($INSTALLDIR & "\DAEMON Tools Toolbar.exe") DirRemove(@ProgramFilesDir & "\DAEMON Tools Toolbar", 1) ;Delete Firefox toolbar If FileExists(@AppDataDir & "\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles.ini") Then $moz_profiledir = IniRead(@AppDataDir & "\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles.ini", "Profile0", "Path", "") $moz_dttoolbarDir = @AppDataDir & "\Mozilla\Firefox\" & $moz_profiledir & "\extensions\DTToolbar@toolbarnet.com" If FileExists($moz_dttoolbarDir) Then FileDelete($moz_dttoolbarDir) EndIf ;Remove Deamon Tools search plugin FileDelete(@AppDataDir & "\Mozilla\Firefox\" & $moz_profiledir & "\searchplugins\daemon-search.xml") EndIf ; Restore the default search engine of IE7 or IE8 If $IEVersion >= 7 Then RegDelete("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes\{AD22EBAF-0D18-4fc7-90CC-5EA0ABBE9EB8}") RegWrite("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes", "DefaultScope", "REG_SZ", $IEDefaultSearchEngine) EndIf ;Cleanup shortcuts DirRemove(@ProgramsCommonDir & "\DAEMON Tools Lite", 1) FileDelete(@DesktopCommonDir & "\DAEMON Tools Lite.lnk") FileCreateShortcut ($INSTALLDIR & "\DTLite.exe", @ProgramsCommonDir & "\DAEMON Tools Lite.lnk") ;Write uninstall information to registry RegWrite("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\DAEMON Tools Lite", "DisplayName", "REG_SZ", $DTTITLE) RegWrite("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\DAEMON Tools Lite", "DisplayVersion", "REG_SZ", $DTVERSION) RegWrite("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\DAEMON Tools Lite", "DisplayIcon", "REG_SZ",$INSTALLDIR & "\DTLite.exe") RegWrite("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\DAEMON Tools Lite", "Publisher", "REG_SZ", "DT Soft Ltd.")

Updated to Firefox 3.0.1. I have renamed the folder structure to add a Plugins folder to support installing the WMP for Firefox plugin.

What's your problem? There are no SDK changes except a new demo serial number.

Just a post that my site is updated with new builds. Have fun

Felix, you can get these settings from the about:config window. I just included some config options I use, but you can modify it for your own needs. I got the information from the following site: http://mit.edu/~firefox/www/maintainers/autoconfig.html The variable U_SHELL_FOLDERS_PERSONAL should indeed point to the My documents folder.

I have updated the installer to fix Unlocker Assistant autorun and hide the icon by default.

Hi Acheron Any news on when the new SDK will be made available? You're the first one asking for it. I only release SDK versions if people actually gonna use it. I'll upload a new version today Done.

As I posted this Video Resolution Windows Setup tweak several years ago I did not monitor the registry closely. While testing on VMWARE is different from a real system it was annoying to see the display get set at 640x480 after second reboot. So at last here is a fixed version of this tweak: ;Disable Screen Resolution balloon tip HKCU,"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DontShowMeThisDialogAgain","ScreenCheck",0x0,"no" ;Change default resolution to 1024x768x32 HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\Current\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\VIDEO\{23A77BF7-ED96-40EC-AF06-9B1F4867732A}\0000","Attach.ToDesktop",0x10001,0x1 HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\Current\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\VIDEO\{23A77BF7-ED96-40EC-AF06-9B1F4867732A}\0000","DefaultSettings.BitsPerPel",0x10001,32 HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\Current\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\VIDEO\{23A77BF7-ED96-40EC-AF06-9B1F4867732A}\0000","DefaultSettings.XResolution",0x10001,1024 HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\Current\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\VIDEO\{23A77BF7-ED96-40EC-AF06-9B1F4867732A}\0000","DefaultSettings.YResolution",0x10001,768 HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\Current\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\VIDEO\{23A77BF7-ED96-40EC-AF06-9B1F4867732A}\0000","DefaultSettings.VRefresh",0x10001,0x1 HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\Current\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\VIDEO\{23A77BF7-ED96-40EC-AF06-9B1F4867732A}\0000","DefaultSettings.Flags",0x10001,0x0 HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\Current\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\VIDEO\{23A77BF7-ED96-40EC-AF06-9B1F4867732A}\0000","DefaultSettings.XPanning",0x10001,0x0 HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\Current\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\VIDEO\{23A77BF7-ED96-40EC-AF06-9B1F4867732A}\0000","DefaultSettings.YPanning",0x10001,0x0 HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\Current\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\VIDEO\{23A77BF7-ED96-40EC-AF06-9B1F4867732A}\0000","DefaultSettings.Orientation",0x10001,0x0 HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\Current\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\VIDEO\{23A77BF7-ED96-40EC-AF06-9B1F4867732A}\0000","DefaultSettings.FixedOutput",0x10001,0x0 HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\Current\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\VIDEO\{23A77BF7-ED96-40EC-AF06-9B1F4867732A}\0000","Attach.RelativeX",0x10001,0x0 HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\Current\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\VIDEO\{23A77BF7-ED96-40EC-AF06-9B1F4867732A}\0000","Attach.RelativeY",0x10001,0x0

When you build an unattended CD using standard answerfiles when setup completes the OOBE wizard will be shown. The OOBE experience is great to add user accounts. The only problem is that the Registered UserName visible in My computer properties, and sometimes used by software is set by winnt.sif. I rather would like this to be set to the First User that logons. I found this topic describing the RemoveOwner option to do the trick, but some users reported it didn't work. Looking up the MSOOBE binaries I found the following undocumented features, but no RemoveOwner option: DoWelcomeFadeIn SkipAnimation AgentDisabled NoWelcomeFinish So I came up with my own solution. To configure OOBE the easy way I create a new OOBE folder inside the $OEM$ directory. I use inf installation methods to do the necessary tasks: oobe.inf [Version] Signature="$Windows NT$" [DefaultInstall] CopyFiles = OOBE.config AddReg = RunOnce.AddReg [DestinationDirs] OOBE.config = 11,"OOBE" [OOBE.config] "oobeinfo.ini" [RunOnce.AddReg] ;Set registered username to first logged on user HKLM,"%RUNONCE_KEY%","RegUserName",0x0,"rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %01%\oobe.inf,SetRegisteredUser" [SetRegisteredUser] RunPostSetupCommands = OOBE.RegUserName:1 [OOBE.RegUserName] "cmd /c reg add ""HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion"" /v RegisteredOwner /d ""%%USERNAME%%"" /f" [Strings] RUNONCE_KEY="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce" You can use your own oobeinfo.ini. Look up the Deployment tools help files for more information. My oobeinfo.ini skips everything except the User Creation screen. oobeinfo.ini [StartupOptions] Offline = 1 [Options] IntroOnly = 0 NoIspPreconfig = 1 Use1394AsLan = 0 CMDLINES.TXT [COMMANDS] "rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection .\OOBE\oobe.inf" P.S. Also look here for an improved Video Resolution tweak

Some software, like Microsoft .NET 2.0, Windows Messenger 5.1 and Hex Workshop 5 won't install properly during Windows Setup. Although updates and hacks might be applied to each individual setup file, I have come up with a simpler method. By setting SystemSetupInProgress to 0 any installer will run just like if you were logged on. You can also clear the Error Reporting key which circumvents some MSI installers issues. I provide you the inf I use at T12. After the RunOnceEx section is processed I revert the SystemSetupInProgress value. Do not use this method on first logon, modifying the SystemSetupInProgress key while logged on will mess up your system! cmdlines.txt [COMMANDS] "rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection .\systemsetup.inf,DisableSystemSetup" "rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection .\runonceex.inf" "rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection .\systemsetup.inf,EnableSystemSetup" systemsetup.inf [Version] Signature="$Windows NT$" [DisableSystemSetup] RunPreSetupCommands = BackupSystemState:1 AddReg = DisableSystemSetup.AddReg DelReg = DisableSystemSetup.DelReg [BackupSystemState] ;Backup SystemSetupProgress "cmd /c for /f ""tokens=3 skip=4"" %%i in ('reg query HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup /v SystemSetupInProgress')" \ " do reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup /v SystemSetupInProgressBak /t REG_DWORD /d %%i /f" [DisableSystemSetup.AddReg] HKLM,"SYSTEM\Setup","SystemSetupInProgress",0x10001,0x0 [DisableSystemSetup.DelReg] HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorReporting\DW" [EnableSystemSetup] RunPreSetupCommands = RestoreSystemState:1 DelReg = EnableSystemSetup.DelReg [RestoreSystemState] ;Restore SystemSetupProgress "cmd /c for /f ""tokens=3 skip=4"" %%i in ('reg query HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup /v SystemSetupInProgressBak')" \ " do reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup /v SystemSetupInProgress /t REG_DWORD /d %%i /f" [EnableSystemSetup.DelReg] HKLM,"SYSTEM\Setup","SystemSetupInProgressBak" Note: I have tried implementing the undocumented BackupReg feature. Although this method does work, I not only had to lower Internet Explorer security settings to write to the HKLM key, while testing it appeared DWORD values were saved as BINARY and messed up the registry on restore.

Your previous scripts works fine for me (with some changes like home page etc.). I will keep the first version. Thanks, but this new script works even better. Now script doesn't need AutoIt anymore and also removed additional batch files

Hi, I already wrote such a script, look here for information. I have converted the batch script to an advanced inf and improved it a bit.

Known issues: When Firefox is set the default browser using the -setDefaultBrowser argument a desktop shortcut is created, although no desktop shortcut was specified during install. Remove the shortcut afterwards using a cleanup script.

One thing I love about HFSLIP is the HIVEINSTALL support. I searched the net about inf commands and there is a lot of information available. I found even this to create custom shortcuts. No need for any batch files. Maybe also hfslip.cmd can be changed into inf format

I have updated the script to support Orbit 2.7.1. Too bad it includes so many junk by default

Yes, that's the reason I post these commands here, so they can be tested. cscript and wscript are using the same engine to process vbscripts. the /B command prevents displaying any messages to the user. If you want each hotfix processed the Microsoft way you should just stick with using the official /Integrate method. Is that what you want??? UPDATE I found the last cmd window caused by the User Profile Hive Cleanup tool, not by HFSLIP.
