But with the unattended cd this option never comes up anymore. Also normally if you already had Windows previously installed setup would give you the option to repair it. But now the installation just say's it is looking for a previous Windows installation but then even if there is one does nto seem to find it and goes onto the partition option.

I have lots of pics in my Webshots Data folder in My Documents. After I am done with my unattended installation I cut and paste the Favorites folder into the My Documents folder (C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents). I then cut and move the 'My Documents' Folder to 'D:\User\My Documents'. This way every time I reformat I do not lose My Documents or anything inside it including the 'Webshots Data folder with all my pictures. By the way what is the lowest amount of time that you have had success with in the script: WScript.Sleep(10000);//time to extract EXE WScript.Sleep(15000);//time to install I tried the following succesfully: WScript.Sleep(4000);//time to extract EXE WScript.Sleep(5000);//time to installI suppose this is something that would be somewhat dependent on the computer speed, right?

Ok I am a little confused now. I have just found out from another thread that if you have a winnt.sif or atleast if you have unattended = on in your winnt.sif then the option to repair windows is nto available anyhow. Now what does the repair console do? Also does it install automatically normally and if so I suppose I need the 'winntupg' folder, right?

This does not work. Well it works in basically installing Webshots, but it does not install any sample pictures and therefore Webshots is turned off by default due to the unavailability of any pictures to Webshots. The Script above by Mazin works fine on the other hand.

This method does not work. It works as far as installing the basic webshots program is concerned but it does not install any sample pictures and thus webshots is turned off by default since it reports as no pictures available for Webshots.

I figured out the problem myself. Here is what finally worked for me ofcourse I won't know for sure until I try it in a real unattended cd. start.cmd ECHO. ECHO Installing Download Accelerator Plus Premium 7.3.0 ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\DAP\dap73.exe /s taskkill /IM iexplore.exe /F pskill.exe dap.exe

None of the threads I found on this topic seem to have a complete answer as to how to do a silent install of Download Accelerator. I myself am looking for a way to do it thru start.cmd any help will be appreciated. Thanks. PS: I have tried the method below with I end up with internet explorer opening up and also the DAP confiuration window opens up.. ECHO. ECHO Installing Download Accelerator Plus Premium 7.3.0 ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\DAP\dap73.exe /s /f TaskKill /F /IM iexplore.exe /f pskill.exe dap.exe /f

Thanks

And how does one go about using this script?

nLite does not delete the following three folders 'WIN9XMIG', 'WIN9XUPG' & 'WINNTUPG' which between them take up almost 37mb of space. Since I never plan to upgrade from an older version of Windows I fail to understand why we would need these folders. I would ofcourse like to be able to repair a Windows XP installation with my CD so I think I might need 'WINNTUPG'. Therefore my question is, can I simply delete these folders and regain some space? Also for the purpose of Windows XP repair function do I need to keep either of these folders? Thanks.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks Mazin, this works great. Webshots Tweaks: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Webshots\The Webshots Desktop\User Options] ; Off = 0 ; On = 1 "ShowSplash"=dword:00000000 "DetectCamera"=dword:00000000 "NotifyNewPhotos"=dword:00000000 "UseAsScreenSaver"=dword:00000001 "UseAsWallpaper"=dword:00000001 "WallpaperShowTitle"=dword:00000000 ;---- WallpaperCycleIndex values ; 0 = never ; 1 = 15 minutes ; 2 = 30 miutes ; 3 = 01 hours ; 4 = 04 hours ; 5 = 24 hours "WallpaperCycleIndex"=dword:00000005 "ShowCal"=dword:00000000 ;--- Calendar Size ; Small = 0 ; Medium = 1 ; Large = 2 "CalTextSizeIndex"=dword:00000000 ;--- Week Starts On ; Sunday = 0 ; Monday = 1 "CalStartDayIndex"=dword:00000001 ;--- Transition Effects ; Off = 0 ; ON = 1 "EffEnabled"=dword:00000001 ;--- Transition Speed ; Long = 0 ; Medium = 1 ; Short = 2 "EffBasicSpeed"=dword:00000001 "EffBasicChosen"="start#Angle Sweeps#Plus Sweeps#Scanner Sweeps#Picture Slide#Weave Lines#Scroll Blocks#Scramble#Raindrops#Dripping Paint#"

Link provided above does not work. Quicktime 6.5.2 Full Installer --->http://a1448.g.akamai.net/7/1448/52/200410...llInstaller.exe

Webshots uses a Wise installer which is supposed to work with the /s switch, but for some reason it does not work. Anyone have an idea what would work?

OK, so what is in this registerwinzip.reg file? It is what I use to register WinZip during the silent install. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\WinIni] "Setup"="0" "win32_version"="6.3-9.0" "Name"="YOURNAME" "SN"="YourSerial#" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\WinIni] "win32_version"="6.3-9.0" "Name"="YOURNAME" "SN"="YourSerial#"

That's kinda harsh I think. I understand the suggestion to look at the instructions but just because someone does not understand the instructions the first time should'nt mean they should not be trying to do this.

Thanks, this was quite simple and the instructions were complete. Works perfectly.

How does one 'compile the script' to an exe?

Just realized why this was not showing in my Windows Update, I already have this hotfix slipstreamed into my unattended CD and therefore it is already installed. Next time someone posts a new (not so new it turns out) hotfix I'll be sure to check and see that already hav eit or not.

Where might I find such a guide?

This update shows up when I run Windows Update. I am running Windows XP with SP2 slipstreamed. Perhaps you have Windows in a language other than English? If so the internationalised versions of the update may not be available yet. I have 'US English' on my Windows.

WinISO registration works just fine on my cd. ULtraISO on the other hand is a different story.

WinISO works just fine. My start.cmd entries for WinISO are: ECHO. ECHO Installing WinISO 5.3.0.125 ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Winiso\Winiso53.exe /VERYSILENT /SP- start /wait regedit /s %systemdrive%\Install\Winiso\registerwiniso.reg

How come this does not show up in Windows update?

Thanks again 'Powerhouse'. Actually I had figured that this registry tweak was for this purpose but just wanted to make doubly sure.
