How the heck did that happen! Thanks, fixed! Here's the Windows-Help.net link if you were looking for it: http://www.windows-help.net/WindowsXP/winx...sp1-bootcd.html

Yep, 3790

ROFL that cracked me up!

Why not just private message him?

Updates from: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcen...s/US-SAVCE.html The path: "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition\7.5\" still applies for the 8.0 and 8.1 builds. The AV knows when a file has been copied to that folder and automatically updates itself

Yep, waiting till final release. taking a long time...

i assume this enables/disables outlook express? Just gets rid of the shortcuts to it I assume, it still remains installed on the OS.

Yeah, add UnattendSwitch="no" (or "yes", check Reference for more details) You won't need DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore if your not going to be using OemPnPDriversPath As for the WPA problem, start by using only the winnt.sif file, leave out your batch. If everything's fine, include your Applications in the next test. Then lastly the Hotfixes. This should help to pinpoint the problem as winnt.sif is the core file of allowing everything unattended. (hence why you want to test with just winnt.sif first)

Since you recently slipstreamed your CD, I'd suggest testing this CD again for WPA errors before doing anything unattended to it - the problem may not lie in winnt.sif or any of your batch commands at all.

Remember, I don't have an nVIDIA card on any of my systems. But there are two ways of getting them installed: Method 1 Extract your drivers using an extractor such as WinRAR. The contents of your directory should look like this: Now copy them all to C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\Nvidia4403 (or whatever build of drivers you're using) In winnt.sif use the following under [unattended]: DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\Nvidia4403\" If that doesn't work, try Method 2 Method 2 When you extracted them earlier you will have probably noticed setup.exe is an Installshield packaged file. Either from creating a shortcut to setup.exe with a switch, or from command prompt, use this: Setup.exe -R 1. The normal setup screens will appear, asking you questions as you go along such as destination directory, etc. It's CRUCIAL that you do not choose the "Restart the computer now" option. If you do, you will terminate your batch when you run an unattended installation. 2. After installation has completed, go to your C:\Windows (or C:\WINNT) directory and take out the setup.iss file. Put this setup.iss file in the same directory where your driver files reside (overwrite when prompted) If you placed the extracted drivers and setup.iss into C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\Applications\Nvidia\driver\ then use this batch: ECHO. ECHO Installing nVIDIA Drivers 44.03 ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Nvidia\driver\Setup.exe -s -f1"%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Nvidia\driver\setup.iss" If you are using unsigned drivers, you may benefit from this registry tweak to set the driver signing policy from Prompt to Ignore to ensure an uninterrupted driver installation. You should add this to the registry BEFORE installing the drivers in your batch: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Driver Signing] "Policy"=hex:00 Please let me know which method works best for you, so I can add one of these on the site.

:ow: !!

You might have to resource edit explorer.exe with a resource tool such as Resource Hacker to replace the bitmap on the side.

Nice, I can free up some space on my CD now have you tested this?

http://www.MSFN.org/board/index.php?act=ST&f=70&t=7546

copy: Set oWMP = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7" ) Set colCDROMs = oWMP.cdromCollection if colCDROMs.Count >= 1 then For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1 colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject Next ' cdrom End If save as cd_eject.vbs and put this into C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\install\Tools\ In batch file: ECHO. ECHO Ejecting CD-ROM Drives... start %systemdrive%\install\Tools\cd_eject.vbs It doesn't open any other seperate process either (don't use /wait otherwise it will hang)

I found a CD Eject script, could put this at the start of the batch in an htm file: <script LANGUAGE="VBScript"> <!-- Set oWMP = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7" ) Set colCDROMs = oWMP.cdromCollection if colCDROMs.Count >= 1 then For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1 colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject Next ' cdrom End If --> </SCRIPT> And then use PSKill to kill iexplore.exe I'll have to try this.

Take the CD out during batch

I haven't tried cmdlines before, but there's one thing you should know - the Windows Installer service isn't started in that area, so you can't install programs such as MSN Messenger 6 and Movie Maker 2

If you nicked the image, then it should be editable in a paint app

The resources page is primarily only to show how everything is put together. Snippets of the batch commands to use for the new applications I recently added are at their own applications page. For Intel Acceleration drivers, find out what setup package it uses (there are 5 links below Install Types at the applications page to help you identify one) And for Wise and Windows Installer - no you don't need to get them, those pages are to tell you what switches these packages support, and how you can identify one.

Sorry about that, will remove NPF from the site. I only have NPF2002 to test, and came across an insufficient permissions to access registry error to put in a new key, and the installation aborted.

Thanks everyone, Lobo Verde has pointed me to a site that uses a simple CSS switch, hopefully I will be able to put this into the site and people can choose dark/light colours.

He means the OPK installers, made for companies to create OEM CDs that install everything automatically. DirectX9.0 is one of the OPK installers

Yeah, doing an Unattended CD is a fun project to do in your spare time!

MSN6 will overwrite MSN5, but with a polygamy patch (should be somewhere on www.mess.be) you can have 2 instances of MSN6. If you are on Windows XP, you can run both Windows Messenger and MSN Messenger
