  1. What's the point of posting every new minor build (of a crappy ) browser? The build went up by 6, let's let the world know! ... Big news
  2. I do that lots too. In fact, nearly all the app I install are re-categorized like that immediately after their installer is finished. I like it organized I had never tried calc plus before. After installing it I had that profound disgust for it - until I turned classic view on . Unit conversions might come in handy some day
  3. no, what I'm saying is, have this whatever.txt [SciCalc] layout=0 (note the intentional first blank line), and have a command line somewhere in your install do: echo y:\path\to\whatever.txt >> "%SystemRoot%\win.ini" change the path to the textfile accordingly (obviously). or 3 echo commands: echo. >> "%SystemRoot%\win.ini" echo [SciCalc] >> "%SystemRoot%\win.ini" echo layout=0 >> "%SystemRoot%\win.ini"
  4. redirecting echo commands or the contents of a textfile to win.ini (>> "%SystemRoot%\win.ini") may be a better idea in case your win.ini contents changed from when you first created your copy (not that too many apps use it anymore, but it does happen) Not exactly a hard thing to do either.
  5. Say, on what OS? Because on XP SP2 (what most people are using), there's already 9.0c in it... No need to install/update it
  6. We don't "do" a service, and it doesn't work with wordpad either. Sounds like you're looking either for the net send or maybe winpopup. And please review forum rule #11...
  7. Hmm, so what exactly is your problem? You can't get it to work, or can't figure it out, or ?? First time using asp? You just added that to the page as is, or you got the proper "header" and <% & %>'s and everything? You can post your actual code if you want and we can correct it, or if you need, I can provide with proper code (just pick the form fields and names ...) I could help, but I just have to know what you really need or what's not working first
  8. Actually, I'd rather have to use the switch. That way it's like every other installshield installer on the disc (or everywhere else really). Typical and doesn't lead to confusion (or confusion of co-workers who couldn't guess)... But, that's just my preferences.
  9. Many ways to do it... But I'm not even sure what exactly you're expecting. What do you want? An app that can do it for you, or a way to do it yourself? There are disk editors that will let you view the disk like that, but it sounds like you're trying to program something (most likely the ASPI way) in which case it would rather belong to the "programming" thread, and even then, this isn't a programmer's forum, so you'd probably get better advice (or even find working sample code) elsewhere. BTW, you didn't even mention for what OS. Ways to read a disk varies a lot depending on that...
  10. Being a ghosted install, your best bet imho is: -Restore those images -Make the modifications you need (apply sp2, updates, add a few apps, ...) (sysprep if needed) -make a new image of it and use that You can't turn back your installed windows into a normal windows install disc and add other stuff to it the normal way...
  11. From their timeline, the final's due for tomorrow... I'll just wait. But thanks for the heads up
  12. I don't have any real life tests done with this, but I do have a microdrive. PIO or DMA mode - I don't think it will make any kind of difference, the card's speed a rather slow compared to a "real" HD. I mean, it's fast enough for my DSLR, but I wouldn't even consider using that in a PC as "normal" HD. Too slow... I just had a peek at some of those adapters on the web... Some don't support 3.3v cards, and should not be hot swapped (kinda makes sense). I doubt it's any faster than a PCMCIA adapter or USB2 reader at all.
  13. For everybody else wondering, it's a text editor.
  14. Ok, thinking the rebooting problem was a "just once" type of problem I decided to add it to my unattended dvd. Sure enough, 3 installs in a row it did reset the computer... I'll be trying calling the msi file directly instead... @evilvoice yes, my first reboot did happen on a system where windows is "installed, set up and working", but that was just the once it happened, couldn't reproduce it afterwards, but now from a system "during install" it reboots every single time... Hopefully calling the msi will work. I'll try again soon and report my findings.
  15. It's a msi file, no need for all these fancy switches ECHO. ECHO Installing Adobe Acrobat Reader V6.0.2 ECHO Please wait... start /wait "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\AdobeReader6\Adobe_Reader_6_0_2.msi" /qb will do the trick just fine.
  16. The rescue disc was made with ghost. I'm not sure if the drive letter is hardcoded on the (emulated) floppy or what not. Perhaps the disc could be damaged too? What letters do the drives mount as? Try copying it to your computer, see if it can read the whole file fine. If that works, maybe try making a bootcd with the original win98se floppy to boot (or a bart boot floppy or such) and ghost + the image on the disc to restore manually (or you can make a batchfile look for the image files and start ghost by yourself...)
  17. They've been known for quite a while... The mpeg2 plugin isn't very good. The HE AAC plugin has been a center of interest for many people. But overall, nothing amazing...
  18. wrong, number of files copied: 0 the 7mb folder only holds the main .msi installation file. maybe a problem with an administrative sp1 installation of office or wrong shrink version. I dunno, I've redowlonaded shrinker a couple times, my sp1 slipstream install works nicely too (I've even tried re-making it too...). That's as far as it ever got for me too, and that's using the plain english version too.
  19. I just ran manually the jre5.exe (not unattended, just double clicked it) and it rebooted on me. I'll try again see if it does it all the time, I'll try unpacked, see if it still does it too... [edit] Futher attempts have not rebooted *yet*... Hopefully it doesn't happen again! (worst case scenario, I'll just move it before the final reboot hehe)
  20. Not sure what he did, we're just hoping he has licenses for all that war... erm nervermind

    Alexa?

    It tracks where you go on the net. You can use nLite to strip it off your install CD altogether.
  22. There is no need to specify full path to transform. I use: "%CDRom%\install\Office2003SP1\setup.exe" TRANSFORMS="Custom.MST" /qb- At GUIRunOnce and it's never failed once. The double quotes should not be needed in your case, but it can't hurt to add them... If not then it's got to be a typo or an issue with your office disc or your transforms...
  23. Right. I forgot to mention hibernate, system restore and the recycle bin. I only remember about them when it's time to disable them altogether You mean, some people actually use it? Your firefox profile holds your cache, which is in your user profile (same as your desktop, your documents and everything like that). It sounds like you could use moving it to another drive. You can do that in the "User Account" (well, the classic one anyways, but then again, who uses the new one anyways?) in the advanced tab, click the advanced button, users, double click the user name, profile tab. You can even set it on a networked drive if you want. (there are other ways to change it too)
  24. Try uninstalling/reinstalling PowerDVD. Or just install any other mpeg2 decoder, there's tons of them... CLVSD.AX is Cyberlink's Video Decoder Filter.
  25. It's VERY VERY easy. In nero, go Recorder > Burn Image, and choose your cue file. It's all there is to it. (some cue files have bad paths in it too)
