[repair option is missing ?]

whats up ..

i've made myself a great unattended xpcd

only flaw i've just noticed, the repair options is skipped, and it's very important for me..

is there any correction to the winnt.sif i can add which will resolve the situation ?

btw - i'm talking about the repair function, and not the recovery console

thanks in advanced !

[100% working hebrew settings]

i'm sorry for the ignorance, but as far as i know

the $oem$ is being copied over to the hd, and usually files being executed by the runonce ..

which is after the t-12 stage

anyhow, i need the command for installing hebrew interface enabled, on a already installed xp ..

thanks !

edit : a switch that will set the language for menus and dialogs ..

[100% working hebrew settings]

ironman -

basicly i dont like the hebrew mui, i find it buggy and a resource killer ..

i install it only if the client requests a hebrew interface, otherwise i rather not use

any 3rd party software and stick with what came along the xpcd

what i would like to ask you is,

maybe you know the command switch to install the mui unattended, with the interface on hebrew ?

i couldnt figure it out

thanks !

[command switch problem]

hey all

one of my command lines is -

start /wait o:\ris.cmd

o: is a mapped network drive ..

the problem is - when the pc is not connected to the network, it gives me an error message which halts the setup until i press ok, which makes the setup not so unattended

is there any command switch i can add that will prevent any error messages and simply move on ?

thanksss

[random generated computer name ?]

[random generated computer name ?]

hey everyone ..

[registry utility]

ohhh yeah !!

thats the one

i love you !

[registry utility]

thanks but i'm looking for a specific one ..

it had these 3 wonderful buttons -

shot 1

shot 2

compare

really helps tracking on a specific key ..

[installing from server resource]

you can use a mapped network drive :

just add this example line to cmd file

net use o: \\server /user:guest

(by the way .. " /user:gust " is not required if user is defined in the winnt.sif)

and than continue installing stuff same way you've install from your cd,

only replace %systemdrive%, with o:\

make sure to config you'r winnt.sif to the right workgroup/domain

make sure the server folder is setted with the proper permissions and sharing

if you want to delete the mapped drive after installations add this line :

net use o: /delete /yes

good luck
