Yeah... that's me

No it doesn't. That's just your opinion...

Disable the screensaver that put on a password lock (Windows Server 2003 had this by default)

Look up the "Port Forwarding" section in your Router's manual/documentation

its a checksum to verify that the file hasn't been modified by a malicious trojan/virus. If it has, its checksum would be different and will be denied by the firewall application.

Its nothing to do with your unattended setup, it just makes it easier for most of us to read and intepret the differences.

You don't have a [Data] section in your winnt.sif file Manta?

If regtweaks.reg is in $oem$\$1\install\, then how is cmdlines.txt supposed to find it? Put regtweaks.reg in the $OEM$ folder. %systemdrive%\install\install_custom_programs.bat in cmdlines.txt may also need quotations. Next time, put all your commands in tags...

Check that OemPreinstall=yes is in winnt.sif

jdeboeck is working on a set of batch files for SP2, but only when it reaches the final build. There's no point making one for RC1, that's a waste of time and effort.

well, the contents of the XPCD folder has to be copied to the CD. Then during Windows Setup, it copies all folders in $1 to the systemdrive. So, after setup, your folder structure would be like this: %systemdrive%\install\Applications\OfficeXP\ See: http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/oemfolders.htm

the mst file isn't the batch file. If you haven't yet created a .cmd file (batch file) for installing your applications, you can make one now for Office XP. Simply add: ECHO. ECHO Installing Office XP Professional with Frontpage ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\OfficeXP\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb- in notepad and save it as OfficeXP.cmd and execute it from [GuiRunOnce]

If you want to enter the Computer Name manually, remove the ComputerName= entry in winnt.sif

I don't know why people are comparing this to XPlode. They're both different from each other. WAI is a selection screen for people who choose what apps to install or not. Cut him some slack.

One's got less switches than the other?

Make sure your cousin doesn't study it for MCSEs though, most of the methods shown on the site and in the forums don't follow Microsoft spec.

Welcome to MSFN

DefaultThemesOff=Yes forces Classic. Make sure its not in there.

You can use AutoActivate=On (or Yes) in winnt.sif, check the ref.chm documentation in deploy.cab for specifics. Although you will need to remove the productkey line from winnt.sif so its input manually for each PC. Otherwise this is what a Corporate licence is for, it eases deployment across hundreds of PCs by keeping the same product key.

For free, you can use The GIMP 2.0, there are Windows binaries available

It works on the next reboot it doesn't execute straightaway, it just imports registry entries and will be activated on next boot up.
