Hi, I'm also trying to slipstream Windows Installer 3.1 with a Dutch version of XP. So Should i do it the way described above, or will it cause any problems cause the files aren't in dllcache? PS Ryan, Your update pack made creating my unattended cd a lot easier... You rock!!

okidoki, thx man

Hello, I've been spending a long time making an unattended xpcd. And because i don't have a dvd writer and my xpcd is too big to burn on regular cd's, i've tried installing xp from my hard drive. It installs normally, but not unattended. Is this because i installed it from a hard drive or a problem with my winnt.sif?? I hope someone can help/advice me. this is my winnt.sif my start.cmd file: I'm sorry if this post is too long...

thx, but i really want to do this using ntfsdos, because i can't install the xpcd from windows...

Hi, i've got 2 ntfs hard drives. My c: which is formatted and my d: which contains my xpcd installation files. So i've been trying to install winxp from d: using ntfsdos pro (this is a dos program to read/write ntfs partitions) the problem is however that when i reboot (and start this program and smartdrv.exe) and then open my d:/xpcd/i386/winnt.exe i get the message that i have insufficient memory. This strikes me as a bit odd because i have a pretty good pc (512 MB DDR). Does anyone have a sollution for this, because i've been looking for so long to install windows this way . Thx

hi, i've got a problem. When i try to reboot my pc with the dos boot disk and after reboot i try to acces my hard drives, i get the message that i can't acces it. And i want to access it because i want to install my unattended windows wich i stored in my second hard drive. Anybody know how to fix this? Thx

Hi, i've got to seperate hard drives and I copied the windows xp installation cd to my second hard drive. Anybody know if i can install xp from this hard drive?? Thanks

Hi, I've got a couple thousend mp3 files on my hard drive, all lacated in different maps. But the problem is that i have a lot of double files (same name and size) and it would take a very long time to search all and delete the duplicates. So does anybody know a program to search for files that have a duplicate and remove the duplicate automatically? Greetz

Hi, i've been checking out http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en every day now, but it seems only the english, french, korean and german sp2 updates are available. Does anybody know when the dutch version will be available?

jeps, cfgwiz.exe is a sperate file and i'll give the reboot suppress cmd line a try. thx!!

That's what i thought... no problem i'll just wait. Thx Prathapml for the release dates. But since i'm on broadband, i prefer simply downloading it form windows update, and then i'll make an unattended xp cd including the sp2 update. I hear it's gonna be soon, but i suppose the dutch version will be a available a lot later then the other ones... Or not ?? Anyway, thx for the replies..

Hi, Does anybody know a way to install the english sp2 update on other Winxp versions? I'ld think a lot a people would want to try sp2 out, even though their language is not yet supported... Because no one can tell how long it will take b4 all the sp2 versions are available...

My thoughts exactely. I've been waiting for the sp2 release for quite a while, but it's logical that the english version will be available first. Not that i wouldn't want the dutch version to be available asap. But it's free, so why would you complain...

okidokeli, thx for the info!

Hi, as the title says, do i need to install winXP sp1 in order to install winXP2?

I might have a much easier sollution. I tried it a couple of times and it works just fine. I have windows Xp and for all Gforce cards this should work. First: Download the installation file from http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_61.77 and extract it into folder c:/xpcd/$oem$\$1\drivers\002_graphics\ Second: write pathname for this driver to winnt.sif (under [unattended]) This is how mine looks... [unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\000_Chipset\AGP;Drivers\000_Chipset\IDEWINXP;Drivers\000_Chipset\INF\WINXP;Drivers\000_Chipset\WINXP;Drivers\002_Graphics;dDrivers\006_Sound" DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore Third: yo're done Much easier, and this way you also have the software from Nvidea

Thx, it worked fine. Only one problem. I adapted the instructions to install NAV2004Pro (found on this forum) to NIS2004Pro. I added the command to supress the booting process after installation. But My PC still reboots after it's installation and i wanted it to finish off the installation with adding the symlcsys.dll file (to register the activation key). So is this a problem with the command or what can i do? This is my start.cmd: (i put the command to supress booting in bold) ECHO. ECHO Applying Registry Tweaks... REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\RegTweaks.reg ECHO. ECHO Starting installation ECHO. ECHO Installing Windows Media Player 9 ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\WMP9\MPSetupXP.exe /Q:A /R:N ECHO Installation completed ECHO.

ECHO. ECHO Deleting Temp Installation Files... RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\Drivers RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\install EXIT

That's probably the problem !! I didn't add "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" to the file. I'll try it again... Thanks

Hi, I've been looking for a switch/way to install Norton Internet Security 2004 Pro un my unattended Xp cd. And so far i didn't finf anything Can anyone help me please??

sorry, i mean i added the commandline to cmdlines.text

Hi I've been making my unattend xp cd. And it all works fine, the only problem is that my regtweaks.reg won't load. I followed the instructions of http://www.unattended.msfn.org/xp/hkcu_registry.htm very carefull. I opted for the "apply to all users" option. So i put regtweaks.reg in the $oem$ folder together and added the commandline to start.cmd. It sstill won't work? Does anybody have an idea what went wrong?? After login screen, i get the message that the file is being opened, but my registry tweaks won't apply.

Hi, first of all, I only used the english (standard) commandlines when creating un unattended xp and i also have the dutch version. So you shouldn't be wondering if the problem is translation. And second, you used the command "net users" and i think it's just "net user" (not plural). So why don't you try removing the 's'. Hope it works!! Veel succes

Yeah, there are 2 OemPreinstall's. the first one says OemPreinstall=No and the last one says yes. But i wonder why it didn't install the $oem$ folder at the end... Anyway, thanks i'll try it out now!!

That seems to be the problem indeed. There are no install folders what so ever... And i haven't got a clue why the copy over failed. I followed the procedures very precise... Any ideas?

At the end of the winnt.sif there's: [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\start.cmd [unattended] OemPreinstall=Yes UnattendSwitch="yes" And at logon of windows it tries to open start.cmd but can't find it...
