Thank you for the quick answer
Yeah, that whole MSXML thing I didn't understand till now.
I thought that these versions are like any other service packs or updates, that greater version replaces minor.
Now I know the difference.
P.S. I incorporated your recent packs (NETFXSP1, MSXML4SP2, AdobeRead602) in my unattended XPSP2 CD...that's the reason for putting this question here

Great work Ryan!
Got one question, though:
2. I can't find MSXML 5.0 . where can i download?
It's not on Microsoft's site. It comes with Office2003. Consider it a bonus
So, if we gonna install Office 2003 SP1 in full state, does it mean that we don't have to install MSXML 4.0 SP2 patch because Office2003 installs MSXML 5.0?
Thx!

RyanVM, thanx for another all-in-one-program pack
After the clean install XPSP2 (slipstreamed) with reg tweaks, and all necessary (J2RE 1.4.5 also) I'm having some strange problems with Java chat page(s).
If i run this in background and in "front" some other program(s), this IE+Java window after some minutes just dissappears
No error dialog, no nothing.
Just dissappears.
First i thought that it was some IE stuff, installed Firefox too, but it was the same.
Then I realised that it must be a XPSP2 - Java 1.4.5 combination, because 1.4.5 on XPSP1 worked with no problem.
I'm hoping that 1.5.0 would solve this problem...
Should I first uninstall 1.4.5 or just to run the repackaged 1.5.0?

Hmmm, with version 1.04, the Start menu shortcuts are now created under "All Users", not just the user that installed it. Me like!
Well it isn't the case at me
I've d/lded 1.04 from lavasoft, and updated my setup.cmd with the following lines:
ECHO.
ECHO Installing Ad-Aware SE Personal 1.04
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Apps\AdAware\aawsepers104.exe /s
taskkill /IM Ad-Aware.exe /F
taskkill /IM hh.exe /FAd-Aware installs for the Administrator, but NOT for anyone else - All Users Star Menu&desktop have no Ad-Aware shortcuts
Frankly, it isn't such a problem, because it is not intended to be used by "user vulgaris", but if Release Notes say that this "bug" is fixed, I'd like to see that in the real situation too

And I have yesterday read this topic again, posts from the last weekend, and FINALLY solved my problem with installing NETfxSP1 which didn't succeed for me after the more then several attempts in unattended installation.
after adding MSXMLSP2 patch too (thanx RyanVM
) the symptoms were the same:Windows Installer popups, but it wasn't follwed by the application (NET, MSXML) popup.
It clicks to me that I've set the renaming of Administrator account PRIOR to installing MS apps (strangely - Adobe Reader and FFDshow installs with no problem even the account was renamed).
I changed the order and now everything works like a charm

I've installed WMP10 for testing purposes, and decided to avoid it in unattended XP installation.
WMP9 is too good for 10
And I use it not very often - have WinAMP for MP3's and BSPlayer/WMP combination for watching DivX-es (depends if I am watching it on the PC or via TV (i've got Matrox G450 DualHead).
For the codec packs:
I am using FFDSHOW codec pack for about 1 year and I'm VERY satisfied with them.
It's constantly updated, it has NO "hidden features" like ***ware
and till now I haven't seen a movie which it doesn't play 0 -
Add this to your registry tweaks
; Set the default wallpaper
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"Wallpaper"="C:\\WINDOWS\\web\\wallpaper\\Filename.jpg"
"WallpaperStyle"="2"
"TileWallpaper"="0"
I have also found that sometimes you have to edit the .theme file to use the new background. Hope this helps!!
I have one little question
I'm using this reg. tweak for Winlogon wallpaper and everything is OK, but, when i remove that wallpaper and set variable to none, the winlogon screen is on black color, instead of blue which is default color for the Windows Classic theme which I use.
I've been searching around in Display Properties, MSFN board search, Google
but can't find in which registry key I must set default winlogon screen color (without wallpaper).TIA!

Judging on Microsoft's Windows Media 10 SDK, the switches should be like that:
MP10Setup.exe /Q:A /C:"setup_wm.exe /DisallowSystemRestore /Q /R:N"
I tried the switch via VMware and it works with no problem
[i have System Restore disabled, via Registry Tweak]
Also, in my Registry Tweaks have this tweak:
;WMP9 Setup
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences]
"AcceptedPrivacyStatement"=dword:00000001
"FirstRun"=dword:00000000which obviously work with the WMP10 upgrade too (no FirstRun dialog was displayed).

I agree.massimo...i dont think there is, but it would be awesome if there was!Could anyone explain why you are using the "/Q:A /R:N" switch TWICE in the command-line? I haven't tried the MP10 unattended yet. But after a normal install, WMP10 rocks!
Judging on Microsoft's Windows Media 10 SDK, the switches should be like that:
MP10Setup.exe /Q:A /C:"setup_wm.exe /DisallowSystemRestore /Q /R:N"

Did it show the progress dialog titled "dotnet framework 1.1" ?
It works here from a batch file.
First time (starting directly) there was 2 dialogs, yep.
On the second time (unattended, batch file) there was just one.
[All after the RAR uncompress dialog]
Batch file is like in my previous post.
One thing maybe (?).
I use
EncryptedAdminPassword=Yes
option in my WINNT.SIF, and use renamnig admin account also.
But that shouldn't (?) be problem, because Adobe Reader and ffdshow install without the problem.
Well, for now i'm gonna do this without dotnet automatic install

@shef Sale
Your batch command is executing the extraction. Once that is finished. It will continue with the next line in the batch file, even though .Net still has to install.
I'm using Autoit scripts to monitor the install with the /qb switch used in .Net archive. My script will not proceed until .Net window has closed.
Controlling with a Batchfile? Not sure.
Here is my Autoit exe. Put it in the some folder as setup.exe (.Net archive). And run aDotnet.exe from your batchfile. aDotnet will run setup.exe. Batch will not continue until aDotnet.exe has finished.
Ensure your archive has this in it's comments:
;The comment below contains SFX script commands
Setup=Netfx.msi /qb /norestart
TempMode
Silent=2
Overwrite=1
Good luck.
P.S. it will delete ASPUSER as well in the script.Thank you VERY much for the effort, but I have doubious results
First I tried starting aDotnet.exe in folder with setup.exe (=netfxsp1.exe) manually on a clean install without NET and it installed like a charm.
Then I put it in the start.cmd (modified .NET line), installed everything from the scratch but nothing
It started the script (cursor on the left upper corner), it extracted the RAR SFX (dialog with the progress), started the NET install (MS dialog), wrote "Cleaning up" on the end, and executed the start.cmd till the end, but after all .NET wasn't installed.
Well.. after all I can install it manually on the end.

8. Now you can compress it to SFX (if compressed it will be just 17.5 MB, if left uncompressed it is 56.2 MB). And set it to silently extract.
;The comment below contains SFX script commands
Setup=Netfx.msi /qn /norestart
TempMode
Silent=1
Overwrite=1
I'm sorry to say, but this method doesn't work for me
1) My start.cmd looks like this:

EXIT2) RAR SFX's comment is like the one quoted above.
But, after the exiting of the start.cmd NETFXSP1 is not installed
If I start only that RAR SFX after the "60sec restart" it installs just fine with no problem.
But via start.cmd it will not.

Ok... is it possible to install silently .Net running the SETUP.EXE that we can find in the Windows XP CD at DOTNETFX folder?
PS: Notice that I am trying to use the original files of Windows XP SP2 CD....
If the setup.exe was got after extracting from the original DOTNETFX.exe (I haven't yet received my SP2 CD), then just use "/QB" for silent install.
Otherwise, use "/s /v/qb" switch.
Unfortunately it isnt so simple
I've tried this too, but it's not so easy as it seems.

It's something in some ini files (this automatically made silent.ini, or some others (like baseline.dat).
It seems that we must play with switches and options
-> Reboot=0
-> RebootLaterOk=0
in baseline.dat
channging value for "post reboot=0" in silent.ini still reboots immediately.

Yep, i'm gonna do this, of course.
What J2SE 5 concerns... I installed it today - regarding my problem with unexpected IE/Firefox crashes with no error messages on Java-enabled chat sites - but this problem isn't gone
