@LaptoniC:
That is an awesome script.
2 suggestions though:
1) Can you make it delete any prior info in OEMInfo?
2) Can you make it display ONLY the hotfix name, and not the extension (".exe"), so that the info displayes "KB832414" rather than "KB832414.exe"?
thanks!!!

Hi,
I have a great U-DVD all setup. However, it is not the best setup in terms of file locations.
Everything runs from the DVD itself. Very few files actually get copied over to the hard drive. This is how I want to keep it.
I want to know:
If I put my folders into $OEM$ (not $OEM$\$1 or $OEM$\$$) will they get copied to the hard drive?
CD..|--$OEM$
.........|-- $1
.........|-- $$
..............|-- System32
.........|-- Applications
.........|-- _Tools
.........|-- cmdlines.txt
..|--cmpnents
..|--I386
..|--SETUP.EXE
..|--win51ip.SP2
Again, I don't want the folders "Applications" and "_Tools" to be copied to the hard drive. I just want all my OEM stuff in one place, if possible.
Will this work? or will everything in $OEM$ get copied during the text-setup?
[edit]
to make this a little more clear, i'd layout everything as described above, and then run it, like so:
cmdow @ /HID
@ECHO OFF
for %%i in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%i:\WIN51 set CDROM=%%i:
start %CDROM%\$OEM$\WPI\WPI.hta

I meant the filename example you have given there - that sets an example of sorts, and people continue following that precedent.
I Agree. My install-ini is called winamp5.ini, while my prefs ini is winamp.ini(as it has to be)

this sounds really easy...
how does this work if, for example, some of us already have some hotfixes integrated via RyanVM's method?
do we need the actual hotfixes in addition to this tool?

i think ryanvm's file has already been updated with the KB886903 integrated...

I usually remake the entire thing then edit the working one. Just avoids complications later on.
you REMAKE the entire CD every month?! Jeez...

read the help.
its basically a command that runs a reg file for you without any switches, just point to the reg file.
regb runs before any cmd's.
rega runs after them.

While the definitions are indeed updated daily, Symantec recommends that you use the "release" updates that are put out weekly or bi-weekly (I forget now). The daily updates can have virus definitions that are so new that they have not undergone the appropriate testing. So they're more or less considered for the advanced user.
is there a page on Symantec's site offering the latest 'officially released' update?
0 -
you forgot the single-quote. also, you could just run it as a regb (before installation) or a rega (after installation) switch:
rega[pn]=['%cdrom%\\$OEM$\\Install\\Dreamweaver\\registration.reg']

i dont see any wait.ini in the zip, but ok...
i also agree that it is very similar to wpi, but i have some suggestions:
1) add our own customization buttons (ex: 'select all', 'select none', 'Default config 1', 'laptop config'). This can be easily defined by having a line somewhere that goes like:
laptop config = UID1, UID2, etc.
so whatever UID is listed there will be selected when that option is chosen.
2) make it more professional looking. the boxes on the left are too wide, and take up too much space
3) make the dependent programs automatically-select the things that are needed, instead of blocking them from installing until the other is checked.

this is a great idea. maybe update that page, though...

could someone post the full silent installation switch for ALL parts of realalt and qtalt, without MPC?

i don't know, but i actually apply my regtweaks (same file) 2 times.
once from cmdlines.txt
and one right before my cleanup.cmd (after all other installs).
it works perfectly, since some tweaks are needed before defualt profile is created, and some tweaks need to be applied only after a logon.

@ a06lp
Use both the following in a batch /cmd file or just the one you want.
Thanks, worked like a charm.

I could have sworn I had seen this discussed somewhere, but the Search turned up no results.
Anyway - how do I remove the desktop Internet Explorer desktop shortcut using a batch file? (I only want it removed in some cases, not by default - therefore I need the batch file)

3 it depends if you want extensions or themes
assuming i dont install anything extra, besides what the "Firefox 1.0 Silent Installation (SiMoNsAyS)" package comes with, do i need anything else (besides the installer, SFX, and cmd)?
[edit]
also, with the "ctrl+f to search, integrated on firefox", is there a way to close it via keyboard shortcut? or only clicking the "X"?
0 -
Ok, Q:
I installed "Firefox 1.0 Silent Installation (SiMoNsAyS)"
I changed the link on my desktop to "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -profile defaults\profile"
I added my Bookmarks to firefox
I setup my Options
I managed my Toolbars
1) now I want these exact settings for each fresh install. what do i do to accomplish this?
just create a SFX of C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile, and extract it (overwrite whatever is there) on after clean install of "Firefox 1.0 Silent Installation (SiMoNsAyS)"??
2) do I need "Firefox Installation Settings" - that cmd file from the first post?
3) is there anything else i need to do??
4) what's "xpi" and "jar"?

now about googlebar, well, for me it sucks because most of its functionality is provided by the search bar on firefox. you can also select to search on google, yahoo, the imdb and msfn (!).
but the 'word find buttons' functionality - how do i get that?
0 -
it's amazing how intimidating this post is.
as a long-time IE user (all I have to do after a clean install is copy my favs), I am willing to make the switch, but I tried once, unsuccessfully.
I want a default profile, with toolbars where I want them, and no problems compared to IE (ex: extra plugins/extensions/whatever) needed.
Also, I remember a problem with the googlebar. in IE, you can type words into the googe search text area, and word buttons appear (which, when clicked, take you to each instance of the word on the page). I understand this feature is not in Firefox?

good question, i'd like to know this too

that is interesting. cmdlines.txt never actually gets copied over to the hard drive?
