Hi Kelsenellenelvian, first, thanks for the brainstorming and solution finding ! One question though ... You are saying the problem appeared because WPI watched the installer (and something in the installer is locking the reboot file and this somehow is a problem). But I am already calling a cmd in WPI and the problem still happens. I install office like this: In WPI I call a cmd like this: %root%\\Microsoft\\Office2007\\silent_install.cmd The silent_install.cmd then does this: start /wait .\setup.exe start /wait .\SaveAsPDF.exe /q if exist .\WindowsXP-KB915865-v11-x86-DEU.exe start /wait .\WindowsXP-KB915865-v11-x86-DEU.exe /passive /norestart if exist .\officemath.msi start /wait .\officemath.msi /passive /norestart In what way is this different from your solution except you use AutoIt instead of a cmd ? Is this the solution ? Or is the solution that WPI watches an exe instead of a cmd ? Because I could also use a cmd Compiler to compile the cmd into an exe if thats the solution ... I am not questioning your solution (haven´t tried it yet) but I would like to understand where the solution is excactly so I can adapt your solution to my setup ... Thanks for your help ! Alex

Hi ! Yes, sure. it simply contains a dll for WAIK or BDD that you have to exchange manually + add a registry key. It works on Vista and XP. Bye, Alex

Hi ! There´s a hotfix available for this error: Patch Information Bye, Alex

Hi guys, Did a search on firewall and vista but did not come up with a solution. I would like to change firewall settings in Vista during the unattended setup. So far I tried adding Remote Desktop to the exceptions list. If I change those settings in Vista and observe registry change then the following changes are recorded by Regshot: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Epoch] "Epoch"=dword:00000012 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\FirewallRules] "RemoteDesktop-In-TCP"="v2.0|Action=Allow|Active=FALSE|Dir=In|Protocol=6|Profile=Domain|Profile=Private|LPort=3389|App=S stem|Name=Remotedesktop (TCP eingehend)|Desc=@FirewallAPI.dll,-28756|EmbedCtxt=@FirewallAPI.dll,-28752|Edge=FALSE|" "{C7826956-5A07-4A17-8E99-B83D704EE483}"="v2.0|Action=Allow|Active=TRUE|Dir=In|Protocol=6|Profile=Public|LPort=3389|App=System|Name=Remote esktop (TCP eingehend)|Desc=@FirewallAPI.dll,-28756|EmbedCtxt=@FirewallAPI.dll,-28752|Edge=FALSE|" However, if I add those registry keys during audit phase (user selectable during WPI setup), they do not work. Any ideas ? Thanks, Alex

I had the same thing, no matter if audit or setupcomplete phase (OOBE) was used. Then I found out that the reason for this problem was an application I had installed prior to this during the unattended install phase, namely Acronis True Image. Somehow if I installed this before Nero (or Paint.net or MS Office for that matter -> showed similar problems) it would cause those installers to fail. I now run Acronis setup at the end of audit phase and everything is fine. :-) Took me quite a while to find the problem actually ! Bye, Alex

Hi guys, maybe someone knows if it is possible to position this "Windows Setup ..." dialog window that comes up during Runonceex (XP) or Audit Phase (Vista) to another place (like to the lower right corner as in my screenshot) ? The standard position on the upper left corner somehow conflicts with WPI Maybe it is a registry key or something .... any ideas ? Thanks, Alex

Happy Sunday, guys ! Thanks for your help, I really, really appreciate it !! @Scr1ptW1zard and jaclaz: Yes, both variations work. Seems to not make a difference if I have find ":" or find "%share%" in there. Why do you think looking for ":" would be better, jaclaz ? @Yzöwl: Thanks, will try your solution too. As for why I need the driveletter. During my unattended installation from DVD I would like to test network connectivity to a server in audit phase (vista) or runonceex phase (XP). If a certain share on a server exists, run all following installations through WPI from the network instead of from DVD. Now the problem with pushd/popd is that it never worked because the accessrights were not set and as far as I know, it is not possible to do that with pushd. So now, I have thought of doing this: @echo off SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS set zone=server set share=\\server\share set username=server\user set password=password FOR /f "usebackq tokens=2" %%i IN (`net use * %SHARE% %PASSWORD% /user:%USERNAME% /PERSISTENT:NO^|find /i "%SHARE%"`) DO SET DRIVE=%%i if exist %DRIVE%\Installation goto servermode :localmode ECHO Running Installation from DVD Drive ... start "" /wait "%DVDRoot%\WPI\WPI.hta" exit :servermode REG ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\%ZONE%" /V "file" /T "REG_DWORD" /D "1" /F REG ADD "HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\%ZONE%" /V "file" /T "REG_DWORD" /D "1" /F REG ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap" /V "AutoDetect" /T "REG_DWORD" /D "0" /F REG ADD "HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap" /V "AutoDetect" /T "REG_DWORD" /D "0" /F REG ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\1" /V "Flags" /T "REG_DWORD" /D "219" /F REG ADD "HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\1" /V "Flags" /T "REG_DWORD" /D "219" /F IF EXIST "%DRIVE%\Installation\Programs\Programs_Privat\wpiconfig.js" REG ADD "HKCU\Software\WPI" /V "ConfigFile" /D "%DRIVE%\Installation\Programs\Programs_Privat\wpiconfig.js" /F if not exist "%DRIVE%\Installation\Programs\Programs_Privat\wpiconfig.js" goto localmode ECHO Running Installation from Server ... start "" /wait "%DRIVE%\Installation\WPI\WPI.hta" exit This was the only way to successfully solve the problem so far. But I am very open to suggestions. Especially towards hiding the cleartext password from the cmd file. I ´d rather not have it in there but what other way is there ??? Thanks, Alex

Hi guys, Spent hours but can´t get it to work. Here´s the code: @echo off SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS set share=\\server\share set username=server\username set password=password FOR /f "usebackq tokens=2" %%i IN (`net use * %SHARE% %PASSWORD% /user:%USERNAME% /PERSISTENT:NO`) DO @echo %%i I wish to get the driveletter (and only the driveletter) variable out of the command but the result of the above is the driveletter variable + the second word of the second line that is output by the net use command. In my case (German Windows version) I get the following as output: Z: Befehl The first is the driveletter, the second is the second word of this output: Laufwerk Z: ist jetzt mit \\server\share verbunden. Der Befehl wurde erfolgreich durchgeführt. Translated this means: Drive Z: is now connected to \\server\share. The command finished successfully. Does anyone know how I can only get the driveletter ? I now experimented hours with various combinations of tokens, delims and eol´s but I could not get it to work. Thanks a lot for any help ! Alex

Hi sp00f, Sure. For instance in phase 4 I have the following synchronous command: cmd /c "cmdow @ /HID & FOR %i IN (C D E F G H I J K L N M O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %i:\DVDRoot.txt SETX DVDRoot %i: -m" I am attaching my xml in case you need it.

Hi Atheros, thanks for replying. However I would like to avoid using net use because I would either have to add the passwort in cleartext into the cmd or I would get prompted for the password which interrupts the unattended installation. I have seen that WSIM allows credentials to be added to a synchronous command. However, contrary to the password for the administrator which can also be set in the autounattend.xml, the password cannot be encoded and is also written in cleartext which I don´t want. So what other way is there ? Any ideas ? Thanks for your help, Alex

Hi guys, a short update on this. I am now testing inside a VMWare machine with the vmware network drivers integrated into the Vista image so it has network working during audit phase. I was wrong the first time. Windows does get an IP and I can ping the server. It seems to be a rights issue. If I open a cmd during audit phase and try to do this: net use Z: \\server\share I get asked for a username and password. So for testing, I then added the user anonymous to the share and NTFS rights on the server and gave it read rights but "net use" still asks for a user/password. How can I mount this drive without writing a user/password combination into the cmd on the disc ?? Any ideas ? It would be ok if the user/pw would be encrypted somehow but how can a password be encrypted for the net use command in a cmd ?? Thanks for your help ! Alex

Hi guys, did a search for +audit +network but did not come up with any results so I guess noone has tried this before. I am trying to get the Vista installation to check if a share exists during audit phase and if it does, to install from network instead of DVD. However, it does not seem to work. The share exists and has read rights for the user "everyone", if I try the script from within Windows, it works but during audit user phase it always defaults to installation from DVD instead. The network drivers are installed already (they are slipstreamed into the image), the network cable is connected but the PC does not seem to get an IP during audit phase (checked ipconfig /all) during audit phase. Here´s the script: @echo off SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS if exist "\\server\share" goto servermode ECHO Running Installation from DVD Drive ... ping -n 5 127.0.0.1>nul start "" /wait "%DVDRoot%\install.cmd" exit :servermode PUSHD \\server\share ECHO Running Installation from Server ... ping -n 5 127.0.0.1>nul FOR %%j IN (Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N M L K J I H G F E D) DO IF EXIST "%%j:\Installation\install.cmd" set DRIVE=%%j start "" /wait "%DRIVE%:\Installation\install.cmd" POPD exit Do you guys have any ideas how to solve that problem ? Thanks, Alex

I meant the latter. It is nice to have that gui but I did not find out how to start it from a script. Exactly. it does not run. Thats why I wanted to run it manually later on. Bye, Alex

Hi ! Unfortunately, I am not that lucky, Kelsenellenelvian. In my case, the Office 2007 installation usually works fine if I do not have any updates in the update folder. The following Visio installation works sometimes, sometimes not, i was not able to find a reason for this. But I now have found the ultimate workaround, so this is my contribution to this problem :-) I have Office, Visio etc. in my config.js so people can choose the software to be installed including every microsoft software. The command in the config.js calls a cmd, which resides in the Office/Visio program folder and looks like this: @echo off cmdow @ /HID cd /D %~dp0 md C:\Install\Office xcopy /S /E /H /Y .\*.* C:\Install\Office\*.* REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx /V TITLE /D "Anwendungsinstallation Teil 2" /f REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\100 /VE /D "Office 2007 Installation" /f REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\100 /V 1 /D "CMD /C C:\Install\Office\install2.cmd" /f Essentially, I am copying the installfiles to a folder on C and add a runonceex command so that Office, Visio etc. gets installed after a reboot (without the potential WPI/MS compatability problem in the way). The install2.cmd which is called on the next reboot then consists of the actual command to install the program and then just deletes the temporary folder. @echo off cmdow @ /HID cd /D %~dp0 start /wait .\setup.exe if exist "C:\Install\Office" RD /S /Q "C:\Install\Office" Just in case someone needs a practical workaround. By the way, RunOnceEx still works in Vista or with IE7 but make sure to have the latest IE7 security update slipstreamed or installed before doing this because the RTM version of IE7 disabled RunonceEX. Bye, Alex

Hi Mercury_22 ! Of course you are right, it was early in the morning, brain is not working to it´s full capacity at that time The command is winsat.exe formal However, it does not open that nice gui, it is just a commandlinetool. Maybe someone knows how to display the gui too. Bye, Alex

Hi guys, how do you run the performance index test tool after installation if SkipMachineOOBE is in your autounattend.xml ? I know you can run it manually from the Control Panel but I did not find the tool or commandline that starts. Somehow it seems like winsat.exe is started as a process, but if I manually start winsat.exe, nothing but a cmd pops up. Any ideas ? Thanks, Alex

Hi guys, thanks for enlightening me !

Hi there ! you can use the programm cmdow to make the cmd window go away. Be sure to have the program somewhere in the path, then use this commandline in the xml: cmd /c "cmdow @ /HID & %DVDRoot%\setupcommand...." Bye, Alex

Hi zorphnog, as I said, I did not mean any disrespect and I appreciate very much what open source and freeware programmers do in their free time, very much so ! So, yes, I am no position to complain as I have not paid, nor did I write code or contributed anything to the project, I understand that. On the other hand, I spent at least three weeks intensively creating an unattended Vista installation for the company I work for and now, at the end, I find out that programs by Microsoft cannot be installed with it (or at least not reliably or essentially nobody knows what is happening exactly.) So I am frustrated because I need to find a solution. But thats not your problem and is of course a minor problem compared with all the other things that are going on in this world Just wondering how all the guys using WPI are coping with this situation. Do they simply avoid any Microsoft software or are there workarounds ... Bye, Alex

Hi guys, I really don´t intend to be ungrateful, WPI is free and guys are devoting much of their free time to develop this but I don´t understand why nobody has come up with a real solution for this problem so far and it seems like this problem is know for a long time. I managed to do without the automatic updates during the Office 2007 installation by copying the updates over to HD, adding Runonceex entries on the fly and installing the updates during the next boot. However, now I need to install Visio 2007 and here the same problem happens but not during the update phase but during Visio installation itself. So how can I install Visio with WPI ? Not at all it seems. Have you guys just accepted that a lot of Microsoft applications crash WPI or have you found at least workarounds ? If this does not work reliably I will have to find another installation program, but what else is there ? Again, don´t mean to be ungrateful but I need a working solution, is there any ? Thanks, Alex

Hi guys, great, so many replies !!! I already tried Did not help, unfortunately. I also tried adding the key to the specialize phase as TSBL pointed out but did not work either (again, as TSBL said). So to me this is a bug that only appears if audit phase is being used. The reason why no one seems to complain may be because all you guys have <SkipMachineOOBE>true</SkipMachineOOBE> entries in your autounattend.xml However I would like to not do that for the mentioned reasons. I am now trying to not use audit phase at all and use first logon commands during OOBE instead. Don´t know yet how it turns out, it will certainly be quicker than audit phase (sysprep takes a lot of time to go into audit phase !!!! ) but I am not sure it will work as reliably, also there seems to be no nice GUI that tells you where you are in your script. If anyone has a better solution ..... Bye, Alex

Hi Guys, this is driving me crazy ! If I use sysprep to go into audit mode and later leave audit mode using sysprep like it is recommended in the guides, Windows Setup always asks for the product key again during the OOBE phase later on even though I already added that to the WinPE phase of the autounattend.xml. If I leave audit phase out, this does not happen ! I have already tried at least 30 times, with autounatten.xml´s from this forum etc. It always happens that way. What can I do to use audit phase but not get asked for the key later on ? ( I am not using the generalize phase by the way ) Thanks for your help !

Hi guys, is there an easy way to remove or add images to a WIM ? I would like to remove the Starter edition etc. but integrate the Enterprise edition instead. Have done a search on integrate/remove + wim but did not come up with a solution. Sorry if it was answered before ... Thanks, Alex

Hi guys, any news on this ? Since you cannot slipstream Office 2007 updates anymore like it was possible with Office 2003, how do you guys install Office 2007 including updates with WPI now ? I have just spent at least 8 hours trying to figure out which of the available updates kills WPI but it seems that it is not a single update but all of them or the update process itself. So how do you guys cope with that ? Leaving Office 2007 out is no option ... Bye, Alex

Hi guys, thanks for your help ! as for 1. Great, thanks ! as for 2. Isn´t the position of the WPI and installer windows some variable you set somewhere ? If not, don´t bother, I just thought it is some number somewhere in the code. Bye, Alex
