That is about 12 months old. I have a program for doing most of the process, in my signature. Or you can check the pinned topics. There are a few choices for you to chose. Ensure you read the unattended cd guide to help you along.

Here is a site with some basic instructions for the procedure. Your USB HD site also may have something similar?

If you chose this method. It would be for mostly convenience rather than speed. The filecopy from the textmode would be faster, but the rest of the process would be the same.

No RunOnceEx section in winnt.sif? RunOnceEx.cmd should execute from Cmdlines.txt.

Yes? Depending on the setting of the archives for success. WinRAR uses extraction, then you have execution. 2 separate processes. Do a small test first.

Conditions. Very easy with Autoit. Basically any condition can be used. Worth learning Autoit as batch programming is limited. Autoit is a very powerful language indeed. Is this what you wanted to hear, Astalavista

It's down to advantages and disadvantages? Depends what you want for your install. Multiple archives can achieve this. One thing I know of Inno setup, they corrupt very easy when burnt to cd, if big in size. So multiple installers may be needed as well?

The file from the Unattended Guide link uses SFCSetting in registry. 0 turns it on. ffffff9d turns it off. May need reboot. If SFC is off. You should be able to overwrite the system32 copy but delete the copy in System32\dllcache.

$OEM$\$Docs\Default User\..... Default User directories are quite handy also. Textmode is in $1 folder?

I have a Motherboard with Intel chipset. Also have the Raid feature. I need to install raid drivers if I want to use the Raid feature. Raid is like an optional feature, depending on the motherboard you buy.

Why are you double posting?

Try name your winnt.sif in capital letters, insert it into your I386 directory, and give it another try. Hopefully your raid drivers entry is correct. With any luck..... I do not understand this line though?

In Winnt.sif OEMFilesPath=.\$OEM$I am not sure if this is a valid entry? Consider removing and just have $OEM$ next to I386 folder. It will be processed from there. NoWaitAfterTextMode=1 NoWaitAfterGUIMode=1I am uncertain of these two entries? Not in Ref.chm. As for theme problem. RegTweaks seem ok. Maybe a bad reg entry from one of the software regfiles?

You have 2 choices. You can use store with full path or store full path with drive letter. First choice is the option to use. If I want to add WinRAR.exe and Internet Explorer.exe into the archive. Choose store with full path. Compress it into a self-extracter and set the extract destination to the root of the harddrive. When you extract, everything goes back to their destinations. This archive would contain Program Files folder with Internet Explorer folder and Internet Explorer.exe inside, also WinRAR folder with WinRAR.exe inside it. With this, WinRAR can act similar to a simple installer. The setting is in Files Tab -> File paths drop down box. I have tested this and seems to work with system variables. ;The comment below contains SFX script commands Path=.\%systemdrive%\ SavePath Silent=2I use this option mostly for my PC game saves. Makes it easy to restore them when the game is reinstalled later. Edit: accepts %UserProfile% also.

Multiple files, here and there. WinRAR can do it by storing the full path.

Replace WinRAR.hlp maybe a good idea also. Do not know the installer used. Switches? Do not know.

You maybe right prathapml, but it could be a trick question. You can have a different template for the same filetype. Users have separate template folders. So default user would not do this.

Arh, seen that post before. You can do it through $OEM$\..... Let me search.

You can use winnt.sif to autoactivate. [Unattended] AutoActivate = Yes You may need internet access during install

Do you have in your winnt.sif, a [shell] section?

Have you tried SETUPDL.exe /? at a command prompt. Also with winrar, you may be able to right click on the file and select open with winrar, then extract the contents.

Why, how would that help. RunOnceEx has to be called from cmdlines.txt.

Call RunOnceEx.cmd from Cmdlines.txt, not GuiRunOnce in winnt.sif.

You need to make a batch.inf file, with the support tools supplied with your cd. Then put the batch.inf file into I386 folder.

I would be sure that Winzip would be in the Application Switches Forum. Take a look for yourself.
