Also, make sure your txtsetup.sif file is pointing to the correct location on the multiboot CD/DVD. I've made that mistake a few times when first starting out.

The disc will only prompt you to press a key if there is an existing install on the HDD. If there's nothing on the HDD, the installer will just run without a prompt. If you're asking if there's a way to suppress the Press any key message even if an install exists, I don't know.

That doesn't work. Check http://www.lvllord.de for the latest version that should fix this.

Basically, all 32-bit software will work in 64-bit Windows. The problem lies in those that use 32-bit drivers (e.g. virtual drive programs and AV programs among others) and those that still use 16-bit installers (if you copied the files over it would work, but the install will break since 16-bit doesn't work in x64).

Have you checked the manual for your MoBo to verify it supports more than 3GB of RAM? Also, I know some Intel boards had issues with more then 3 sticks (even if all sticks are only 512MB). Remember though, the 64-bit extensons on the Intel's were cobbled together at the last minute. This isn't a ding at Intel, but a statement of fact. They were about to get left in the dust by AMD and this was their interim release until they could produce a true x64 compatible CPU. This could pertain to your issue as well.

Gee, ever think there's a reason it's called "Release Candidate"? Of course it's for testers. Still, providing you have the proper drivers, it's stable enough for a home or even work environment. And as for 2003, that's a server OS, not a home OS either. Not exactly sure what you're trying to get at here.

Where did you put the file? It should be located in your i386 directory (the winnt.bat doesn't need to be there, though).

You can also take the entire installation directory, create a SFX WinRAR file and just have it extract to your Program Files directory. As shown in the version I've created here: http://rockent.brinkster.net/Files/AdAwareSE105.exe

All you have to do when slipstreaming is just point the slipstream process to the location of your installs i386 directory. It doesn't matter if it's a single install or an AIO disc.

P3 is usually the last before release, unless of course they find a major show-stopper bug.

No you won't, unless your key has been activated a certain number of times before. At work, we use a simple OEM CD reburned (not an original) whenever we want to install on a customer's PC, and just use their CoA for the product key. Every (and I do mean every) actual Microsoft OEM CD is identical. The only real difference would be what service pack it has on it (which is why we use a burned disc for install, so it's got SP2 integrated - that and the SATA drivers are loaded on it so no F6).

Just download Daemon Tools and mount your image in the virtual drive. Then just have VPC use the "physical CD" in the virtual drive.

Try pressing the FLock button then try F8 again. Some keyboards start up with the FLock in place and you have to disable it before you can use the F# keys like normal.

Actually, ME does store it in the registry the same as 98, but you are right that 2k, XP and 2k3 do not store it in the registry. You must use one of those keyfinder programs like above.

I've used DOS 6.22, Win95/95a/95b, Win98/98se, WinME, Win2k (Sp1-SP4), WinXP Pro (RTM - SP2) and I have to say that I absolutely love XP. The only reason I even used WinME was because at one of the MS roadshows I got a free copy of it. It lasted one week and my computer was crashing like crazy. Needless to say, it went bye-bye. So you can probably guess which OS I voted on. But then again, as the Three Dead Trolls in a baggie sing, Every OS Sucks

Did you change the "SetupSourcePath" line in your txtsetup.sif as explained in the guide?

I'm assuming from the pic under his name that he's quoting that "Family Guy" cartoon.

Oops, sorry for the double post

Well, USB flash drives are essentially miniature, removable hard drives as far as the computer is concerned. So what we need is a way to write the boot sector to the flash drive (hard drive). Once we've achieved that, it's simply a matter of making the boot sector one for CDShell or a similar project, then just add whatever boot options we want from there.

I doubt it is possible, but I hope you find a way.

You could try making a 0-byte file with the same name, and using a reg entry to enter the serial number. Worth a shot anyway.

If you want to know, give it a try. All you need is an iso and a virtual machine (e.g. MS VirtualPC or VMWare Virtual Machine)

Or, in the case of Ad-Aware SE Personal, just create an SFX Rar file of the lavasoft directory in Program Files and copy it back over. And if you like, create the shortcuts on the desktop and in the Start menu. I do this for 1.05 and it works flawlessly every time.

Have you removed any drivers using nLite? Since DaemonTools uses a "faux SCSI" device, I believe you need the SCSI drivers left in the install.

Riiiiiiight. I....I..*sigh* I honestly don't know what to say to that.
