If Mr. Jinje is right, you want to install a .reg file and the programs OR install programs and then a .reg file? Yes, you can do this, just tell us which option and we will help you out. Cheers

Please explain what you mean by "SFX installation".

Which installation? of Windows?

It is very doable to add the files and the .reg in the SFX and they will extract and execute (merge), but how do you want to automate the procedure? What is so tricky? Do you want to start the installation in some special way?

Go to the first post of this topic, click EDIT, and then "Use Full Editor". The title of the topic will also show and you can change it. Cheers

Yes, call it from RunOnce or RunOnceEx with no silent switches (it's already silent, right?) BTW, are you using a software like nLite or WPI?

Please refer to the edited part of my first post here. Thank you again.

Uses .NET Framework 3.5? Edit: after the primary error (no .NET 3.5), if I click Continue, it still works. Thank you very much, saves a lot of lines pointing Command Prompt to folders.

Right-click the .reg file, select Add to archive..., click Create SFX Archive. In the Comment tab paste the lines I posted: ;The comment below contains SFX script commands Setup=regedit /s NameOfYourRegFile.reg TempMode Silent=1 Overwrite=1 click OK to create the SFX and test it.

Something like this maybe? In WinRAR ;The comment below contains SFX script commands Setup=regedit /s MYREG.reg TempMode Silent=1 Overwrite=1

I second that motion and extend my gratitude for explaining.

Hope this helps

Good to hear. Congrats for your lateral thinking and thank you for sharing the solution. You could also add SOLVED to the title of the topic for better understanding. Enjoy,

oh jaclaz, GMA little B here... posting at 3:30h in the morning does not always constitute sanity... and FTR, I have never used this tool (I'm starting to think that's a good thing) and was genuinely interested, so thank you for your answer. However, this may possibly do some damage if the device is on a notebook, in terms of un-/plugging the device. For, e.g. the notebook I'm using at the moment (4-and-something years old) has only had two screws open: the ones for RAM :-) ta-ta

Firts of all, welcome to the forums. Unfortunately, this is not the right place to post about Lite. My opinion: Use nLite on one source ONLY once for everything: adding a SP, adding drivers, everything. Using nLite more than once on the same source causes errors, and the nLite forum is full of examples. So, my suggestion is you start from the top (new LastSession.ini, new XP copying, new SP3 and driver integration...). While the virtual machine is great to spot problems with Windows setup, it is impossible to check your drivers, as the VM doesn't have the same hardware with your PC. Edit: use this application to get the key from your Windows and use that key in Nlite. This way it will not ask you to use your key during setup, but you will probably still have to activate when you reinstall. A small request: next time you want to post about nLite, please do it in the nLite forum, and attach (not copy/paste) your LastSession.ini. Cheers

How? Please share your solution with others :-)

I can say for sure XP has a known limitation of a minimum required space for installation and I don't think it is version (OEM, Retail, VLK) dependent.

Not really sure what you're trying to say. Do you have an nLited CD and don't know where to find hal.dll? You don't know which SP is there on CD or your OS? To extract hal.dll from your CD, go to the I386 folder, find hal.dl_ and copy it to C:\ Open Command prompt and type: first: cd c:\ second: expand c:\hal.dl_ c:\hal.dll If you just want to make an XP CD with nLite, prepare a copy of SP3 for Windows XP and your CD. Open nLite and point it to the CD. It will copy the contents to a working folder (of your choice). Use THIS SITE for reference with images.Screen 4 is where you choose what you want to do. For e.g., if all you need is SP3, just choose "Service pack". Please post with specific questions.

for NERO go HERE . You will find the silent switches which you can add to an add-on, a .reg file or RunOnce. Still, it would be nice to check whether it works for Nero 9 as well...

Just left the forums and went to the home page (msfn.org). It told me to login (although I didn't log out). I clicked "log in", which after a second changed into "Welcome Sp0iLeDBrAt", and again logged me out. Clicked "log in" again and the same thing happened.

I did your first search (how to edit sendto menu pcmag) and the first link I got was the exact answer by PCMag. Yes, I suppose it could be some kind of advertising, or even some kind of link redirecting. Do the results match on different browsers? (Asking because they obviously have different tolerance/ management of web pages) I used Firefox 3.6 on the Yahoo home page. If it is some infection, it is more probable that it is spyware.

New update for .NET 2.0 SP2 and 3.0 SP2 - KB976569

(reg add "hklm\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\cisvc" /v Start /t REG_DWORD /d 4 /f) The best I can do is to give you a RunOnce command for automatic start-up of cisvc.exe, in case you might need it. Cheers

Diamand Technology DT0398, Diamond Computer Systems As a last resort, have you considered trying an application that finds drivers from a driver database, like DriverMax or similar? It has helped me out on a number of occasions.
