    Cdshell problem

    in Windows XP PowerPacker

    Posted

    hello, im using the latest version of powerpacker with the new boot manager, but i want to use cdshell.ini so i overwritten the boot folder.

    i have a problem, when in cdshell i try to load /XPPC/XPPC.BIN that is the same entry of the new loader.

    i receive this error from cdshell: Error file cannot be larger than 64kb

    can anyone help me to make the files created with the latest version of powerpacker work with cdshell?

    thanks

    Microsoft Private Folder

    in Application Installs

    Posted

    hello

    if you want to install Microsoft Private Folder in unattended way you have to use

    /quiet /norestart

    but you may see that your system will reboot anyway.

    you may circumvent this behaviour editing the install file with Microsoft Orca.

    once you opened the installer with Orca you have to drop line

    UCA_REBOOT

    found in

    InstallExecuteSequence

    done that, you may install it unattended without the automatic reboot.

    enjoy

    WPI 5.2 Wish List

    in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)

    Posted

    hello!

    i'd like to see 2 new features in wpi:

    1) a checkbox in application configuration pale to disable a specific entry. at present i'm able to do that using the "flase" keyword in condition entry, but i think it would be more pratical and less mnemonical with a little checkbox

    2) i have a couple of apps that force my system to rebbot... no flag can avoid this. but i'd like to add them to wpi, to give the opportunity to install. what i'm asking is a flag that make a entry not selected even if a user choose "select all". so i can install thos apps manually with wpi but i must not fear that a user can select it if i choose "select all"

    thanks for your job

    Windows XP PowerPacker v1.0 RC8 Beta3

    in Windows XP PowerPacker

    Posted

    hello. i think i've found a bug in v1.0 RC8 Beta3

    my winnt.sif file is not loaded.

    after loadining it in powerpacker and creating the files, if i look in folder %MYUCD%\ROOT\XPPC\I386 the winnt.sif file doesn't includemy specific settings and also %MYUCD%\XPPC\wXPPC.sif doesn't include them

    is this behaviour correct?

    i tried both in tripac and in simple version but none of them worked

    in Windows Tips 'n' Tweaks

    Posted

    hi all. i've already searched the forum but i'm not been able to find this hack.

    i'd like that the "Save as" window shows up always with a presetted "Details" view instead of the default "list"(i'm not sure if i'm using the correct labels beacuse i use an italian version of windows, i hope you'll understand anyway)

    can anyone help? i hope there's a registry for this simple request

    thanks

    [Release] Windows XP PowerPacker

    Posted · Edited by sonica

    finaly found it: If you remove 'manual install and update' with nLite, you get a BSOD.

    deleting the win* folder in I386 is not a problem.

    Good news ;) I wonder why it creates an error?

    hi all, i've found what was the problem tha caused the BSOD:

    \DVD\XOPC\SYSTEM32\SMSS.EXE is missing when using powerpack with my nLited windows. just this. if i manually copy it everything works fine.

    i hope this could help anyone

    thanks

    integrate knoppix

    in Multi-Boot CD/DVDs

    Posted

    @sonica

    I run DSL copying KNOPPIX folder in AIO-DVD and isolinux folder in boot folder.

    In cdshell.ini:

    then bcdw boot isolinux/isolinux.bin

    Copy bcdw.csm (taken from bcdw-2.0a1) in boot\modules folder.

    I tried to run knopils 0.7 or knoppix 3.7 with this method but they don't work. I tried to use the command "then isolinux" or "then isolinux knoppix" but same result. :(

    it worked, thanks a lot!

    but i can't help with knoppix

    grazie

    hi i have the same problem with a windows "nlited"

    i'm not sure how your program works but maybe the problem is related to this:

    in the MSFN Multiboot tutorial there's this:

    Creating the Boot Folder

    Thanks to gosh from the MSFN forums, I have discovered a much better way to obtain the boot files. While this method is a slight pain, it ensures that everyone has the proper boot files for their DVD. Go to Start -> Run and type or paste the following command with the correct drive letter of course:

    D:\AIO-DVD\SETUP\XP\Professional\i386\winnt32.exe /noreboot

    taken from here http://flyakite.msfnhosting.com/xpprosp1.htm

    but i remove the "manual install and update" component with nlite i no longer have winnt32.exe file...

    i hope this could help to track the issue, however i'd really like to have PowerPacker working without the manua linstall and update component

    thanks

    integrate knoppix

    in Multi-Boot CD/DVDs

    Posted · Edited by sonica

    almost done, but i've got a strange problem.

    i'm using cdshell, tryingo to add **** Small Linux to my cd

    if i put dsl's original isolinux.cfg

    it loads dsl splash screen, in which you can editkernel optios if you press f2...

    but it freezes there!

    but

    if a do not give any isolinux.cfg it gives me a prompt saying it cannot load any kernel, but here, if i give it the same string that there was in isolinux.cfg i.e. 

    /BOOT/modules/isolinux/linux24
    ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=it apm=power-off vga=791 initrd=/BOOT/modules/isolinux/minirt24.gz nomce noapic quiet BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix

    dsl starts successfully

    now, i could remap the most common kernel option in a cdshell menu, but i will still miss the dsl console and i would like to use it

    any suggestion?

    thanks

    Just thought I'd ask a quick question while this topic's up here.  I did the above mether of extracting boot and knoppix folders into the root folder so they look like this:

    \Root\

    -BOOT

    --isolinux

    -KNOPPIX

    -PRO1

    -etc...

    I think used "if $lastKey == key[4]; then isolinux" in my cdshell but for some reason, I get the error message in the attached image.  Any thoughts?  Was there a step I missed?

    hi all, i have the same problem, trying to include **** small linux, same screen too

    does anyone have ny suggestion?

    thanks

    http://unattended.sourceforge.net/installers.php

    in Application Installs

    Posted

    The goal of this document is to collect instructions for performing unattended / silent installations of many popular application installers. Such instructions are useful for automating these installations.

    A quick word on terminology: Strictly speaking, an unattended installation is one which does not require user interaction, and a silent (or quiet) installation is one which does not display any indication of its progress. However, most people use these terms interchangeably.

    Here, we are interested not only in performing unattended installations, but also in waiting for those installations to finish and suppressing any reboot they might want to perform. This is necessary for reliably installing multiple applications.

    Just found on sourceforge, maybe someone finds this document useful...

    bye

    Finally got the Start button changed too. Took a while but nothing like trying to do  things with MS stuff to mess around with your head.

    (edited 7:50pm, hope it works this time)

    great background image, could you share it?

    and... does anyone know where to find such beautiful natural backgrounds?

    thanks
