    Winntbbu.dll trouble

    in Setup Billboard Screens for Windows

    Posted

    Hi all,

    I'm having a bit of a problem with a downloaded winntbbu.dll I downloaded from this forum. I tried to search for a solution, but couldn't find one...

    The thing is that I, as I said before, downloaded a billboard from here. It came as a dl_ file, so I guess it's compressed. Since I already had a winntbbu.dll in my i386 and txtsetup.sif only had an entry for winntbbu.dll I uncompressed it, tested it in my VM and life was sweet. Then I tried to burn that image and now it fails on my two laptops. (tried several times and even with an external CD-RW).

    I tried running modifype winntbbu.dll -c on it, but still no luck. The only thing I haven't tried is just copying it over as the original dl_ file...Strange thing is that it works fine in my VM no matter what I do! :/

    Any ideas?

    kTool (just another software selector)

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    Posted · Edited by tiwas

    ****, I feel like a complete newbie! Can't seem to get this thing working...

    Now, on my CD I have a directory called install. This is how it looks:

    (CD)
      --- $OEM$
      --- cmpnents
      --- DOCS
      --- DOTNETFX
      --- I386
      --- install
    	  --- [cabed]  (which I later renamed to 'cabed' in case it didn't handle the brackets well)
    	 --- [new]
    	 --- Alcohol 120%
    	 --- MessengerLive
    	 --- RVM
      --- OEM

    In the \install dir I have ktool.exe, win_xp.ini (didn't bother to rename it as I wanted to get it to work first) and config.ini. The ini files are appended to this post.

    I've tried several ways of starting the app. The batch file I'm using is working fine - it starts ktool after detecting the CD-ROM, but starting it directly from GuiRunOnce doesn't work for some reason. The fix was to add it to another batch file which is working. I guess I'll have to figure this one out later unless someone's got any good ideas.

    My problem now is that ktool starts up, but just runs through the menu doing absolutely nothing at all. And there is no logfile even though I've specified the logfile dir.

    Could someone help me shed some light on this?

    Cheers!

    Solution to localization problem

    in nLite

    Posted

    Hi,

    I see a lot of people having problem with the localization of their Windows. I am not talking of the problem with the box opening and asking for name and location, but specifically where Windows reports your location under Regional and Language Options.

    Seems that if you select these settings manually creates the problem. If you only select language in nlite and then stay with the default, everything goes fine. Anyone able to do a test install to verify that it's not just my version of windows?

    I'm installing Win XP Pro VL with Norwegian locale.

    Request for addon coolness

    in nLite

    Posted

    Is it possible to hack the installation to insert a page for "Now installing custom packages" or something? It would be cool to be able to see the progress of the installation, and even cooler to see where stuff breaks when testing.

    ATM I have install hang at T-13 and there are 3 different packages that could be to blame for it. Now I just have to install 3 times to find the culprit.

    Anyway, seeing a list of what's being installed would be super cool! Either as a pop-up or as a new page in the install.

    Cheers, and thanks for a great app! :)

    In order to correctly set the keyboard for some languages (Norwegian is one of these) you will, in my experience, have to make a default profile by copying in a pre-configured ntuser.dat. I tried all the reg keys I could find and all possible entries in winnt.sif to get Norwegian keyboard on my US English Win XP Pro, but all I could set was the location etc etc. After applying it to ntuser.dat and copying that in when I installed Windows, all was good!

    Language problems

    Ok, then...For the record, as it seems a lot of people with non-english keyboards have struggled with this, it can be fixed through the default user. The keyboard layout will be retained in this (just copy the ntuser.dat from a user you've changed the way you want it and automagically copy it to the fresh install). That's a lot easier than banging your head against the wall trying all sorts of things that doesn't work.

    Thanks to both of you :)

    @agonified: I obviously didn't remove the languages I need, but - good thinking! I prolly wouldn't have thought of that one in case someone unintentionally messed up, and it's a good reminder that we all can from time to time :thumbup

    @supertoast: I will definitely try that one! Thanks :)

    Besides...I may have found part of the problem. Seems most people with this exact problem are running VMware. Hopefully it's nothing stupid as that, but you never know...

    Hi all,

    I've come to the point where there's only one major thing wrong with my DVD. I'm installing an international english version of XP Pro, slipstreamed to SP2 and shrunk with nlite.

    The problem I've run into is that I cannot seem to get the keyboard language to change. The default input language is still "English (United States) - US" and the keyboard is listed as "US". They should both have been "Norwegian". The regional options are fine, after lots of testing...

    Anyone able to help me out here?

    Here's my winnt.sif

    Language Settings+automatic updates

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    Posted

    Hey (again),

    This is my (hopefully :angel ) last question for a while...When installing my uA CD I found out that my keyboard settings were incorrect. Like many others have said the english keyboard was left and not the language I wanted. I've tried searching, but couldn't find a good answer.

    Also, is there a patch to activate automatic updates for windows?

    So...anyone know? Here's my winnt.sif

    Thanks!

    Problems getting reg tweaks to stick

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    Posted

    Hi, and thanks for all the invaluable help!

    Is there a timeline for when different registry tweaks can be set? I'm struggling with some tweaks that just won't stick at all...I've tried applying the tweaks in cmdlines.txt both before and after creating my default user, and also customizing the default user profile and just copying it in with the clean install.

    In particular, tab completion in DOS and the security center are bothering me the most.

    Any ideas?

    Boot logo issue

    in Customizing Windows

    Posted

    Hi,

    Just noticed something today. I have replaced my boot logos successfully, and all seemed fine. However, right before GuiRunOnce (last thing to happen before that annoying twirly welcom to xp intro starts) my logo changes to the official one with a "please wait..." or something beneath it. I have deleted the original kernels from the cab in the distribution so there should be no traces left of it.

    Anyone know what to do? It won't kill me or anything, but it's annoying as ... when I've finally got something going ;)

    Cheers!
