[Unattended Audio Player Version 1.0 Release...]

Awesome idea Bi0haZarD,

I noticed in the screenshot you attached that the player was currently running.

Is there a way to make it hidden?

[RyanVM Windows XP SP2 Update Pack]

Maybe SP2.1 update pack or something? What do you guys think?

Even though I didn't run into any problems with your excellent update pack, nor did I have any confusion knowing exactly what its purpose was, I think a name change to SP2.1 would be awesome.

[[Release]: XPize (Off Topic)]

I just had a strange error: The whole Start button just disappeared after applying Royale Theme. I know that the Text 'Start' was removed, but usually the green button itself is still there but now there's just nothing.

I need to press the windows key on my keyboard to open the start menu. Even after going back to Windows Classic Style the start button won't appear again. Using xpize 2.1 on winxp sp2

That's actually pretty cool.

If you figure that out.... let me know.

B)

but I've never had that problem with XPize.

(SP2 here as well)

[Who Has The Cleanest/Most Organized System?]

well, hes trying to see if hes spent enought time cleaning his computer.. and its a challenge to others

I'd say it's more like the most crippled OS ever...

Yeah I'd have to agree with that statement.

[Logitech MX 1000 Setpoint Driver]

Did you try to run it, then look in "C:\Documents and Settings\current user\Local Settings\Temp\byeF69.tmp\Disk1"

Because that's where it extracted it to when I downloaded and installed your program.

[Trillian Pro]

Depends on what you mean by "unattended"

I just copied the entire trillian pro folder to the $Progs folder then created a shortcut in $Docs/all users/start menu/programs.

It works.

[Alcohol 120 v1.9.2.1705 Registration Failure !]

I just edited the msi file using WinInstallLE and added the reg info in the msi.

How'd you do that?

I'm interested in learning trying this out.

Especially if I could do it with other .msi files.

Edit:

NM figured it out.

Your suggested program, "WinInstallLE", has a slight learning curve.

After some trial and error I got it down.

[Silently register O&O Defrag Prol V.6 B 851 ?]

Well I fixed the silent install part.

I got rid of

INSTALLDIR=%ProgramFiles%\Defrag

and it installed it without a hiccup.

Testing the registration now.

[Silently register O&O Defrag Prol V.6 B 851 ?]

...so...here my RunOnceEx part...

REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "Defrag Professional Edition v6.5.851" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Defrag-Pro-Ed-v6.5.851.msi INSTALLDIR=%ProgramFiles%\Defrag /qb" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 2 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\RegTweaks\Defrag.reg" /f

I kept getting an error here.

I changed paths to fit my XPCD, but they should have worked.

cause it keeps giving me an error saying windows cannot find 'C:\install\defrag-pro-v6.5.851.msi. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button and then click Search.

I checked after the install completed on VMware and it shows the folder and file in c:\

bah.

I'll mess with it a little more.

[Silent Ati driver install]

If you use win xp you can download the newest driver from ati webpage,

extract the driver, and then run setup /K

That will install the driver inclusive controll panel unattended

kyor

nm... I didn't read it correctly the first time.

So the /K will install this?

I'll have to try that when I get home.

[Silently register O&O Defrag Prol V.6 B 851 ?]

REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "O&O Professional Defrag 6" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%cdrom%\Apps\DfrgPro\OODefrag.msi INSTALLDIR="%ProgramFiles%\Defrag Professional" /qn" /f

EDIT: OK solved....it's seen the second choice...without "/"

          Thank yo

@mrmr

I'm currently at work and can't do anything till I get home in 5 hours, but...

did that also register O&O?

Edit:

Looks like you also extracted the .exe to get the .msi file. Do you need any of the other files?

[Windows Code Name "Florida"]

Interesting stuff.

I'd like to try it out. But I'd like to stay as legal as possible.

HECK!

You mind if I steal your ideas?

That wouldn't be illegal right? You don't (technically) own any of it?

But good idea none the less.

[anyone got a gd windows icon maker s/w to recomm?]

I've been enjoying Axialis IconWorkshop as of late.

There's a recommendation for you

[BFV Boat Question]

Have you tried to bring a vehicle next to the boat and refill it that way?

(The vehicle i'm talking about usually will have a mobile ammo point inside it)

I mean technically, I haven't tried it. (Cause why would I stay inside a slow-boat till the heli guys blow me up) But that's how it should work.

[MY Custom XP]

HERE you are more hacks. Hope you like them.

That's slick looking.

Now I tried to look for those files on my computer but could not identify which file those where to edit. Which files?

Also did you use ResHacker?

[MY Custom XP]

Yes! sure I have. Look HERE

and HERE

Awesome!

Keep up the good work.

[MY Custom XP]

Yeah it worked out great.

I did notice you didn't have one made for "Add new printer wizard"

So I just made my own.

I wonder how many other wizards are in XP that "we" should change.

Give it that more custom feel.

[Intel_INF doesn't work in MS Virtual PC 2004?]

Does anyone know if there's a procedure to actually emulate your current rig's hardware (ie video, chipset, sound).

Either I don't know how or where to actually set that if it's actually a viable option.

With that in mind,

Is doing a fresh install of UA-XPCDs on your rig (not VMware) the only option to make sure drivers are actually installing correctly?

[Alcohol120% - RunOnceEx.cmd Problems]

Someone will more then likely tell you to use the search function but I've been doing some research on it and drudgin the forums as well.

Here's a link to a forums about it..

it's the 4th entry down.

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=23892&st=10

I also used this .VBS script and it works wonderfully. You might have to put 2 "TAB" entries and only 1 "Enter" entry. (I just cancelled the SCSI option.)

By the way....

Both in-forum search and google search suck. They don't work correctly.

And you have to be so ****-blasted general in order for it to work. You'll also end up with a bunch of garbage as well.

Good Luck.

[MY Custom XP]

Looks great.

So I just edit the according files that were posted by sfamonkey for you and it works.

Now I wonder if I take those files and then makecab it should work in an unattended setup.

I'll post back after I try it out.

[NOOB missing folders - apps Used Runonce]

Not to sure where to add this but was getting Tweakui working properly with the code listed in the unattended guide section. But now all of the sudden its saying that there's another install in progress. I searched the entire XPCD for another file or command pointing towards the tweakui.msi file but I couldn't locate it. Any suggestions?

[Guide: Mozilla Firefox Unattended]

I've tried this method and it works very well importing any plugins and what not.

Only thing I noticed it didn't transfer over was my "bookmarks".

You mentioned it in your first paragraph but no where else does it mention saving bookmarks.

Could you elaborate this particular subject?

Edit:

I know you mentioned it should be in step 2 and you're having problems.

So, I'll just shut-up and smile

[VMware workstation Help!]

I have questions about VMware as well, but I'll answer Nakkoush's question about the .iso thing, Yes you can install the ISO without burning.

you have to do this

after you create a virtual machine to match winxp.

go to

"Edit Virtual Machine Settings"

(underneath "Start this Virtual Machine")

Click on "CD-ROM" (under the Hardware Tab)

On the right hand side it will say "Connection"

Use Physical Drive:

or

Use ISO image:

If you select "Use ISO image:" you then can "Browse" and locate the ISO you just made.

If that still doesn't work,

remember it's a "virtual" computer and does have a boot sequence. So don't forget to set the first boot device to CD-ROM (inside the virtual machine)

My question is this.

I cannot get my ethernet drivers to load at all using either MS Virtual PC 2004 or VMware. The NIC is an Intel 10/100/1000 onboard device. It won't even let me load it from a CD nor can it detect the proper drivers. Am I doing something wrong?
