You've to make a setup.iss file. I think it was "iTunesSetup.exe -R" to make the "setup.iss" file. The created ISS file will be in the windows folder. After, use iTunesSetup.exe -s

@moo Tested but no good with regsvr32... Maybe I need a reg file to get it to work. I'll report back when it all works. A long night begins

Thank you moo! I'll try that!

I think it won't help at all but just for quick response. I had the problem of booting from a CD once. Sometimes it booted from the CD and many times it couldn't boot from the CD. It was because of the defective HDD drive that was connected to the same IDE cable, ofcourse, the master and slave jumers were configured. At first, I thought it was because of the firmware of the DVD drive but later found out as I wrote above that the HDD was BAD, and when I removed the HDD from the IDE cable, it worked fine. Also, booting from the DVD drive works for me as like booting from the CD.

I've the same problem. Well, to be specific, I want to add the Japanese Keyboard layout to my English WinXP unattended installation. For the winnt.sif, I've added the following and the registry settings [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup="7" SystemLocale="00000411" UserLocale="00000411" InputLocale="0411:e0010411" 411 -> stands for Japanese stuff. Anyway, I did the install but the keyboard layout was for the general 101 keyboard layout. I looked inside the keyboard drivers from the control panel and found out that the Japanese Windows XP had the following drivers installed. c:\windows\system32\drivers\i8042prt.sys c:\windows\system32\drivers\kdbclass.sys c:\windows\system32\kbd101.dll c:\windows\system32\kdbjpn.dll and the unattended English Windows only has the following c:\windows\system32\drivers\i8042prt.sys c:\windows\system32\drivers\kdbclass.sys The question is, how can I add the following two DLLs to the unattended installation of English WinXP? c:\windows\system32\kbd101.dll c:\windows\system32\kdbjpn.dll

Well, on the article that I've read, it displayed the installation of the "Windows XP Professional" at the first point of the DOS installation part or what ever you wanna call it. Also said that it is based on WinXP SP2 as the article refered to it by the MS staffs. And yes, I know that it is in two CDs. I didin't care to mention it since many people are up to date on things like this here With all those Multimedia add-ons, I think that nobody ever uses a DVD-uncompatible drive as the product itself would be resource hungry as I suspect so I guess it won't be a problem to use the XPCREATE and update it with the patches. Maybe it is just as simple as copying the contents of the CD1 and CD2 to a temporary drive, XPCREATE it, and burn it on a DVD+-R/RW for their own use. One more thing, I don't have WinXP MC2005 so I haven't tested it. Just to let you know.

Windows XP Media Center 2005 is based on WinXP Pro SP2 as I have read in some article so it should work fine as I think as XPCREATE can work with WinXP Pro distributions

Yes! I would like to see the great work! pls it with us!

You're asking in the wrong place. This forum is for XPCREATE. Check the forum before you post or else people won't be able to answer it or just won't answer. You might want to re-post your question at Software & Hardware Central or maybe in the Unattended Windows forums.

Thank you MCT and prathapml! It's good to have those kinds of answers that lets you get motivating to do something! And no, I'm not trying to host something stupid like breaking the Activation or something similar, just trying to enhace the GUI my-style and sharing it on the web like the web graphics out there! I'll be getting ready for it! Thanx again!

Thought so, but just asked. How about those sites with logoni.exe's or MSFN with those hacked stuffs? I'm just wanting to share the stuffs that I have and for the future stuffs that i'll create, and since MSFN doesn't have the space to put it in organized matters I just thought of making my own place.

Donno if it'll help but I had a system that had Windows 2k (no SP to SP4) and Windows XP , XPSP1 and SP2 and had a problem of sudden shut down and hag problems. It just didn't happen until I installed the Windows XP SP2 and the other ones without WindowsXP SP2 didn't make any problems. After I checked the internal hardware stuff, it came around that one of my memory had a problem and after I removed it, the hang, sudden shutdown never happened until now. So maybe you should make a check to your system's hardware.

Just a little question.. I'm thinking of hosting modified Windows files that I've done but is it legal or illegal to post it on the web?

That sounds like a pirated stuff...

and some regtweaks : thats all, have fun .. Well, this method didn't work somehow. I wonder what the winnt.sif or something during the setup needs. I hope someonw can assist me in to doing this. Thank you in advance

Thank you mazin! I'll try it and report back!

Anyone know of a way to do it? I'm using the English WinXP and just want to install the East Asian languages using the unattended install.

Hello users of the MSFN forum I've searched in this forum and other places but with no luck so I would like to post my question that has my head aching for days. I currently am having trouble installing the "Supplemental language support" by using winnt.sif. For those of you that don't know about it, you can see it by going through the following Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Languages -> Supplemental language support. I'm using WinXP Pro English and want to use the "East Asian languages" known as Japanese, Korean, e.t.c.. So far no luck when installing it via the Winnt.sif but it installs ok from after the WinXP installation. Here's my winnt.sif file that has the regional parameters. [TapiLocation] CountryCode=81 Dialing=Tone [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=7 SystemLocale=00000411 UserLocale=00000411 InputLocale=0411:e0010411 By the way, CountryCode=81 -> Japan LanguageGroup=7 -> Japan SystemLocale=00000411 -> Japanese and so forth. Some one please give me your expertise!

I don't have any Greek Windows system so I cannot say for sure but installaing a Japanese application to an English Windows XP system works ok and runs ok. Anyway, setting DLAUTO=NO in XPCREATE.INI and putting your needy stuffs it should slipstream your WinXP to SP2 properly. I don't have the MS Java so I can't say for sure but if the switches used are right, then every thing should go ok when installing your preferred system. Why don't you try running XPCREATE? It won't affect your system in any way and if it all goes perfect, try downloading VirtualPC trial and use it to test your system.

OS : WindowsXP Professional OS Language : Chinese (Traditional) Version : SP2 Trial Run 1: Pre-test : Nothing done. Objective : To test if it works w/out nothing done to it. Result : From the log, program finishes just after writing the PRODSPEC.INI to the LOG file. Solution : For the Traditional Chinese language change the following to IF /I "%TESTLANG%"=="XXXXXX" SET CDWINLANG=CHT& GOTO GOTLANG to IF /I "%TESTLANG%"=="Traditional Chinese" SET CDWINLANG=CHT& GOTO GOTLANG For the Simplified Chinese language change the follwoing to IF /I "%TESTLANG%"=="XXXXXX" SET CDWINLANG=CHS& GOTO GOTLANG to IF /I "%TESTLANG%"=="Simplified Chinese" SET CDWINLANG=CHS& GOTO GOTLANG Although I only have the PRODSPEC.INI for the Traditional Chinese, the Simplified Chinese should work referring to the MS's download pages where you choose your language. XPCREATE.LOG.zip

Sorry for the multiple posts, just wanna post the results here. OS : Windows 2000 Professional OS Language : Japanese Version : Pre-SP1 or GOLD (donno what its really called...) Trial Run 1: Pre-test : XPCERATE.INI edited for DLAUTO=NO. Objective : First try from CD as CDSOURCE Result : No errors. Test : Created ISO not tested. Trial Run 2: Pre-test : XPCERATE.INI edited for DLAUTO=NO. Objective : Integrating the SP using XPCREATE.CMD. Result : No errors. Test : Created ISO tested with VMWARE workstation. The only error that it gave out was during the "Registering the components" phase, it somehow gives out an [Application Error] stating that an error encountered with the "rundll32.exe" and that it will exit the program. Other than that the installation worked fine. However, installation worked fine when not using XPCREATE. I wonder what the problem is... Does this error happen with Win2kPro or Win2kSvr English version? or in any other language.

Not trying to be hard on you but you can search the web or search MSFN. You'll get what you want in a second. Try a search in this forum if you registered for MSFN. You gotta work for what you want or you'll never get anything.

Not to be hard on you but I guess some people just can't do the regular things they're supposed to do before they post. If you atleast can write in English to question about how to do a silent installation on something, everybody here would know that you can atleast do a search. Hey, we all got brains! If we don't use it, our brains just would squirt out of our ears! In real life, many brain cells die everyday as we speak so to better slow down the process of melting down the brain cells, we should use them.

This is not the answer that you might want but if you have WindowsXP with multiple users, why don't you enable the encription on so that no users other than you can open that folder? It comes with XP and its free!

Tried the testing with your new one as you said. Trial Run 1: Pre-test_ : No modifications on anything. Objective : Initial checking after the modification done by GM. Result___ : XPCREATE.CMD runs ok but stops at where it wants to DL the hotfix lists. (Ofcourse!) Reuturned Error : Error: "Download Error on Service Pack." Let's get on going! Trial Run 2: Pre-test_ : Modofication to the XPCREATE.INI. In it, settings DLAUTO=NO. Objective : Checking to see if it won't download the list and would finish the program completely. Result___ : No download of XPC list and everything went fine to creating the ISO. Attached is the log file for the Trial Run 2. Don't mind about the Japanese stuff in there LOGFILES.CAB
