Excellent to hear we are getting somewhere... thanks for your feedback. As for the ping, it is just a delay method to allow for some of the slower systems to release the hold on the folders etc before we remove them. i found with some of my test environments that we wanted to remove the folders quicker than the system would release them, an then you would be left with a folder we didn't want.

Basically i corrected some shortcut creation bugs - i left out nero express on 1.0. and and cleaned up the source added some error checking internal to the script stuff like that. Basically if you are happy with the results, then there is nothing that you really need that has changed with 1.1.

Just did 4 tests here in 4 different machines and vmware and it worked everytime. is winrar installed in the default location? Try this at the cmd prompt type (copy and paste) IF /I not exist "%programfiles%\winrar\winrar.exe" echo it is not here If winrar is not at this location, then "it is not here" will be echoed. if you get this change the path to where your winrar is. find the line that says set rarIt=D:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe (line 22) and then change that to reflect your installed path. if you are still having problems let me know. am going to add some logging to the script tomorrow, however it is 3am here and i am now going to bed.

Neanderthal, If you just want the Nero Burning Rom component trype this attachment Nero_Custom_Installer_Creator_1.1_Nero_Burn_ROM_Only.rar

Methanaid, Your right about the installer... to make it completely silent change the "Silent=0" in the comment.txt file to "Silent=1" - this will then be competely silent Also to modify the text you see in the installation dialoge box, simple remove the features from the comment.txt file. Also i am working on a complete Slipstream script that will slipstream all the wanted applications into the Windows source of your AIO. Stay tuned....

Hi all, UPDATE: version 1.1 now available. (Change log at bottom of post) Based on the "Stripped Down" custom install method that ZileXa has posted ealier in this topic (More info here) I have created a batch file to do all the processing auto-magically Attached is a rar file that included the batch file, the nero custom SFX file for winrar by totoymola (more info here), the post_config.cmd script for setup after the extraction, comment.txt file for auto setup of the new installer by WinRAR and register.reg containing all the registry settings you need to make it work including the registration information. You will need to enter your own CD Key, User Name and Company Name What do you need? WinRAR. Attached file. How to: Ok now all you need to do is download the attached file, extract the contents to the same directory as you have nero-6.x.exe and then run "!MakeIt.cmd" once completed you wil have a new file in the same directory called "Custom_Nero.exe" ready to use. Now you can change a number of options in the !makeit.cmd file as you will see below. Ok All the stuff in blue is stuff you may or may not want to change. The stuff in purple Is if you want to change the archiver from WinRAR to say 7-Zip. I have compiled the batch's into exe's, however i though many may want to modify options, this batch/cmd files give you that option. The defaults in these files at present will install the following: - Nero Burning ROM - Nero Cover Designer - Nero CD-DVD Speed - Nero DriveSpeed - Nero InfoTool - Nero Recode - Nero ShowTime - No langauge packs - No Plug-in's Shortcuts are automatically created for allusers for each item. EDIT: This process will also work with NeroMIX*.exe, NMP*.exe, NVE*.exe & Nero*.exe To add features from NeroMIX*.exe, NMP*.exe simple modify the field in the batch !makeit.cmd Well i hope you find this helpful and if you have any comments or suggestions for the next version please let me know. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Change Log v1.1: - NeroAPI error associated with Nero Recode - FIXED! - Updates and bug fixes to !makeit.cmd - Updates and bug fixes to post_config.cmd - Added shortcut.exe & Updated Nero Custom Installer Creator.rar - Attached ToDo v1.2: - Add language support. - Am half way through this, however some more research and testing is required. should have this solved in the next day or so. - Add options for either WinRAR or 7-Zip ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Slipstream script to add nero to your AIO Windows Source is also on the way - hope to have version 1 for you in the next 48 hours... stay tuned Nero_Custom_Installer_Creator_1.1.rar

Methanoid, You could use the batch method i wrote (Details here) and then remove the references to recode and nve - you would then get exactly what you want

I will include this also in my program, because this is a realy good idea <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Excellent!

iwod, i have been testing with it, but i always check manually after creating and make any additional modifications or fixes manually. Don't forget this is still a beta product and undergoing lots of changes and fixes. What are the specific issues you are having - i have been saving files without any problems.

iwod is right furthermore, if you say change the number "7" to "2" and then click on update, 7 would become 2 and to would be 3, etc... I understand this may be very hard to impliment, but it is just a suggestion that i think would be very good to have.

Good idea! i second the suggestion

If that is true that felix may as well delete Recode and Showtime in the orginal config. Also i am wondering how to add language pack with felix method? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Am working on addressing both issues presently.. more info as it comes to hand.

Hi Methanoid, i have attached shortcut to this post for you Shortcut.rar

@vcBlackBox here is an alternative method you may be interested in http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...ndpost&p=281732

Are you having problems Felix?? Anything I might help you with?? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi esas, Well finally it's HERE and ready for you to play with! Enjoy!

Hi there all, Finally after some weeks and many, many hours of work i have completed the next version of User Profile Checker. Version 2.6 YAHOO! It is now a compiled file and has lots of smarts built in. USE: Ok now to use it you simply add it to the runonce key of your user profile - i suggest adding it to your default user ntuser.dat hive (if you want to know how to do this Click here). If you add it to your default user runonce then add the command option RESTART. eg. UPC.EXE RESTART. What this will do is if any changes are made, UPC will then restart your computer after notifying the user. This is required to completely allow the change to be implemented and to remove the duplicate directories. If you add UPC.EXE to your RunOnceEx during installation and you have a reboot at the end of your installation there is no need to use the RESTART option. Each time you run UPC.EXE a log file called "AllUsersProfilefix.log" will be generated in c:\. INSTALLATION: -Installing to existing installation. Simply extract the contents of the archive attached to your %systemdrive%\windows\system32 directory then it will be in the path and available from anywhere. -Installing to AIO Installation CD or Network Share. Simply extract the contents of the archive attached to your [path to AIO install point]\$oem$\$$\System32 directory then it will be in the path after your new installation of windows and available from anywhere. Caveats: - User must have Administrator access. I have not done any testing with Power Users accounts, however i expect it would work if you have allowed Power Users to make changes to the registry. - Currently UPC will address the following profiles the first time you use it: all users.windows, default user.windows, localservice.nt authority and networkservice.nt authority - the last 3 are normally hidden. It will also address the current user logged on by using the %username% environment variable. Other user accounts will not be effected until the actual user logs on. TODO LIST: - Address ALL system users (not All User profile) in a single pass, thus allowing an administrator to logon and run UPC once to correct the profiles and remove the duplicate directories. - Add addition command line options: shutdown timeout, logfile name and location & some help syntax. - Fully document functions and features. - Maybe redevelop using VB or something else that would allow for the functions performed by getsid, popup and reg to be done internally. --------------- Well that is about it for now, however we am open to suggestions and comments. PLEASE TEST first before adding this to production systems. We (esas and I) have spent many weeks testing in VMware and actual machines, however we may have missed something. Well i hope this address' your needs and is helpful - enjoy! Ok esas has been continuing to refine my orginal code and has now compiled the code and related files into a single exe file that works very well. you can now download the current version here UPC | Mirror #1 Special Thanks to esas for his continuing work! UPC.rar

Are you having problems Felix?? Anything I might help you with?? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi ya, yep did have some problems which are all sorted bar one. I should have something to post in the next day or so... It's looking very good though

Well been playing around a little more and this simply does the trick for me. Was having other problems but turns out to be my fault. Anyways, I highly recommend doing this in VPC first without installing wmp at all. That is just sp2. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer] [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer] Important that as a registry key or just delete the keys of course. Then install WMP 10. Make sure u download this one: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&DisplayLang=en It appears there are different files even on microsoft.com atm. So make sure u get that one. Now after installing check to see if it finds an update. It should not a new install. Anyways then backup those same two keys above. Save it as one reg file and add those two lines above too it as well so it first deletes the registry keys first before importing. This is to insure everything goes as plan. No left over keys. If u dont do this you will notice there will be left over 9.0 entries which you dont want. Matter of fact if u have 9.0 entries in your current setup trying deleteing them and see what happens. Well use BST's batch file and let it do its thing. And copy of course to your i386 folder. Now important the registry key you made for wmp via cmdlines like such: [COMMANDS] "REGEDIT /S MediaPlayer.reg" Then it should work ok. Before I was just important my settings via reg file but I was not deleteing the old ones first and there where left over entires which was causing it to break completely. Well that and I was accidently deleting: %userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player Take Care, Will <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I can confirm this method works Thanks Will!

Hi guy's Well i have been streamlining the code further and i think i have all the bugs out now accept one - when i run the process i am incrementing a number that is added to the runonce insert function to remove the directories found at next logon. The directories are found and logged, but the number is not incrementing for the like directories - see example below. The numbers in blue above should be sequencial, however because these are being picked up from the one dir listing they are getting the same number... Anyone got any ideas how i can do this better... current build of code below. Code that performs this function in PURPLE Any help would be greatly appreciated

The one (20bytes) in the "2" directory/folder works

your link doesn't adress his problem of missing shortcuts <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Alan, yes you right - not about a missing shortcut, but how to place them in the default folder etc was more my addressing the problem.

Hi eagle, do you have a timeframe for the next update?
