Serial key lets you install windows. Not activate it. To auto-activate, insert below into winnt.sif: [unattended] AutoActivate = Yes May need to have online access during install though. Or do it when, at first logon?

Oh yes, a dll editor would be nice. With a good help file for which dlls and howto.

Need to change it so files are copied to HD, then cmd will be found.

Is OemPreinstall = Yes in Winnt.sif ?

@Famer Yes, maybe a understanding problem. Can only try to help out.

;Winnt.sif [Data] MsDosInitiated = 0 ;Boot from CD. AutoPartition = 0 ;Do not look at other drives. [unattended] Repartition = Yes ;Format 1st Drive ;These should start xp setup without prompt.

Repartition=Yes will delete first partition, format and install automatically.

Check this entry OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\002_Nvidia_45_23;Drivers\004_sound" I believe that you are making 2 strings into 1 Try this instead OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\002_Nvidia_45_23";"Drivers\004_sound" I think that the inverted comma's left out maybe causing the problem?

If you put wildman's script into notepad and save it as VBScript. It almost works perfectly. Turning VBScript into JavaScipt is not a good solution at all. Please check out the syntax to "VBScript" in your favorites, in the footers of your posts. A couple of errors does not mean that VBScript should turn to JavaScript, for the sake of your ability of not being able to interpret the language.

@Mazin Sorry, .js It does work for .vbs though, which is what i interpreted. I don't use .js much. Little mixup here?

Also this part? ECHO Please wait, source files are being copied. This may take several minutes. xcopy /Y /e %CDROM%\i386\*.* %systemroot%\i386\ ------------- The command above is incorrect as well. Should be: ECHO Please wait, source files are being copied. This may take several minutes. xcopy /Y /e %CDROM%\i386\*.* %systemdrive%\i386\ --------------

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.Run "devmgmt.msc" While WshShell.AppActivate("Device Manager") = False Wend WshShell.AppActivate "Device Manager" WshShell.SendKeys "{Tab}" WshShell.SendKeys "Network adpaters" <======= (Fix Spelling with "adapters") WshShell.SendKeys "{Right}" WshShell.SendKeys "I" WshShell.SendKeys "I" <======= (Remove this) WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}" WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" WshShell.SendKeys "{RIGHT}" WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}" I would assume that you are disabling a Network Adapter with this? Seems to look better if these 2

Try this instead. DEL "%AllUsersprofile%\Desktop\Alcoho~1.lnk"

Yours is [Data] AutomaticUpdates=yes Ref Manager states [Data] AutomaticUpdates=1 This little difference might count?

OemPnPDriversPath = Drivers\LAN;Drivers\SIL3112R Above are your Driver Directorys? OK. Then below that you have them in WINDOWS\Drivers. 2 different spots? WXPSP2\$OEM$\$1\WINDOWS\Drivers If you mess up with WINNT.SIF with the directory's, then the installer tends not to copy the contents of $OEM$ to the harddrive. I've experienced this mistake. That line is probably the most crucial to get right. I say that because it is so easy to mess it up.

True, with the boot process. Can this profile be saved so it can be put on win cd or any other way by chance?

A batch script is located at http://berns.cae.wisc.edu/pages/wincdman.asp for doing unattended cds and muliboot cds. Intregates hotfixes, reg files and other files. I found a couple of errors in the script, which i corrected and now works fine. He is actually working on version in C++, but seems to be taking awhile. Worth a peek.

I use multi-Profiles for logon. Like a profile for gaming where most services and hardware are disabled. Is a method available to save profiles as to this method or other? Does take some time setting up profiles ( 6o or so services in XP yet anything else.). Is it possible to disable startup programs in certain profiles?

Adiel: These are the install scripts created for Autoit to compile. You can edit the script with notepad, to change the target filename etc. Ensure that you have latest Autoit v3 installed. Just right click on the script and compile. You just put the compiled exe into the same directory as your program installer and execute the compiled exe from runonceex script. Should be ok running from CD or harddrive.

Here is a script for Maxthon Combo v1.0.220. (by request) P.S. Sorry, does not install AI Roboform. (too problematic) MaxCombo.zip

RTM is Release to Manufacture. RTM means that it is a final version for pressing to CD? Is any further confusion in the meaning? RTM is final!!!

So true gai-jin, if it said RC instead. Which is a ready candidate. You may have a problem then. I'm glad. My hash is same as others from a bit-torrent download and is cool. HASH : 59A98F181FE383907E520A391D75B5A7

I use variables for reg entries often. e.g. %systemroot%, %systemdrive% etc. The inf method requires variables such as %11%, %20% and so on. For inf creation, Willypad has a wiz to make them. Great help guide as well. Get it here. http://www.ifrance.com/snoopy81/WillyE.htm .

Hi, I have a KNXP board with 3 HDs on it. Windows nicely picks the order of the drives for you. To avoid this mixup, I have dynamic HDs with no drive letters. They mount onto my basic HD as folders. So no messed up My Computer problems. The volumes on the Drives are also resizable and fault tolerant etc... So long as you are trying to make a sata drive as primary, you should be able to unless you have them set as as an array. If not an array, windows sould have the drivers for them? I have no drivers installed for my sata drive, unless I choose to use the array feature. The Dynamic Disk feature is better concept, I considered. Guessing, what your exact configuration is? Check your manuals. I have 3 of them. They tell you about using F6 and how to put sata raid drivers in. Check your settings in bios. Press Delete key to enter bios when you bootup the PC. When in bios, press Ctrl + F1 to bring up the hidden advanced features. Hope this helps you out a little.

no "s" in net user. one wrong keystroke is all it takes
