I have followed the following guide http://www.msfn.org/board/lofiversion/index.php/t55405.html The install runs flawless. My problem is that after rebooting the activasion procedure starts. My impression from the guide is that this could be avoided if I followed the guide. Is it not possible to skip the activasion or have I done something wrong?

I’ve have used my unattended install on a couple of computers whit out any problems, but this time I am facing problems that I don’t know how to solve Problem 1. $Docs isn’t copied. Problem 2. My unattended version does not include any changes on themes, but the computers boots with the classic Windows theme. When I try to change it the computer freezes. Problem 3. I’ve changed the default wallpaper, but it boots with Windows XP default. I’m using [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General] "BackupWallpaper"="c:\\windows\\web\\wallpaper\\name.jpg" "Wallpaper"="c:\\windows\\web\\wallpaper\\name.jpg" And at last another question that isn’t related to the above. I want to delete a wallpaper where the name contains a unique Danish letter. Running the batch file tells that the name couldn’t be found (the path is correct, but the Danish letter can’t be recognized).

Sorry I see. I tried to search before posting, but I only found the second link that was mentioned and from that it could not find the first one. And therefore I asked because if new from the link it had found that a solution was possible.

So it would be better if I in my command lines added copy \destination folder to %systemdrive\win.ini ?

The calculator plus creates a new folder in the start menu. The old calculator in scientific mode is enough for me, since I never calculate between liters and gallons etc. I can't find the win.ini so I guess I'll have to create it. Where should it be placed and should other be deleted if I add win.ini?

Does somebody have a reg tweak so that my unattended XP DVD will have the culculator in scientific mode as defualt?

When I install DAP with my unattended XP DVD a window with registration opens, when DAP is installed. How do I disable this window? I'm using START %systemdrive%\install\Programmer\DAP\DAP71.exe /VERYSILENT /SP- SLEEP 60 PSKILL DAP71.exe

Continued my search and found out that I just can use the integrate command

I'm a bit unsure how to slipstream hotfixes for SP2. I've looked at http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/installhotfixes_old.htm Can I still use the file name svcpack.inf? Will the hotfixes for SP2 still be divied in Type 1 og 2 and if so how can I distinguish them?

Of course but is default sufficient for an average PC?

I guess there is no reason to add them then? If the default setting has enough drivers to handle most SATA drives?

I'll just follow the method described in the link

but will the SATA drive(s) be recognized during the install, so that Windows can be installed on the SATA drive?

I'm considering to slipstream SATA drivers on to my unattended Xp SP2 unsing the method described in the following link http://greenmachine.msfnhosting.com/READING/addraid.htm My concers are that I do not have SATA drivers now, but I bilive I'll have it in the future. So can I integrate SATA drivers and still use the unattended DVD on my non SATA computer? I have read threads about the SATA drivers, but cound't find an answer to my question

You should put the batch file in %systemdrive%\install so ex. %systemdrive%\install\batch.cmd or or what the name is. And the you must refer to the batch file in winnt.sif

1)If you don't have to copy all the folders on your XP Cd if you are short on space (ex. valueadd can be skipped), but if you want all the material you original XP Cd contains you should copy the whole Cd. The easiest the make the Cd will be to copy the files to c:\XPCd (so it fits the default ISO-creation) 2) For WMP10 you sholud look at this link http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/applications/mediaplayer10.htm

Hi I like to know how I can disable the automatic reduction of a picture (when the picture is too big for the Explorer window) on my unattended SP2 DVD?

Thank you Max! You just saved me from becoming bald at a very low age The missing was UnattendSwitch=Yes. But one thing didn't work - the . When I started Explorer it the page was just default. What have I done wrong?

I do not hope that they have blacklisted my Key (if they have, they'll recieve an angry mail). It worked before and I have, as written, tried to remove the Key for winnt.sif

Thank for letting me look at your own winnt.sif. But don't know what the new things mean. I like to leave out the FullName, OrgName and ComputerName. I don't use [TapiLocation] (have cable) and [Proxy]. What is "Hypernation"?

Oh I see. I do not`hope I will be of too much trouble if I ask what the UnattendSwitch=Yes does?

Okay. I'll just keep the ProductKey

And therefore i should rename ProductKey ProductID since I'm making an unattended Win XP SP2, from an original Win XP SP1. But why does the installation display error when the [userData] is removed from winnt.sif?

I'm making my first unattended Win XP (SP2) cd. But unfortunately I’m having some problems with my install. When the installation has copied all the files to the hard drive and rebooted for the install, it displays “Unable to get a product id for the computer” (direct translation from Danish so don’t know if it matches the English display). The log says “RegOpenKeyEx[system\setup\Pid] returned error 2”. My winnt.sif is as follows ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS FileSystem = * DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore OemPnPDriversPath="drivers\000_memctrl;drivers\001_gart; etc.” [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=105 OemSkipWelcome=1 [userData] ProductKey=xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes Home_Page=http://www.dr.dk [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\start.cmd I have even tried to remove the UserData section. I've also tried with a more detailed UserData where FullName, OrgName and ComputerName were included. I would be very pleased if somebody was able to give me a solution to my problem. But please explain detailed because this is my first unattended Cd (which actually is a DVD) and I have only very limited experience in programming And I do apologize for my English since I haven’t written or spoken any English for a very long time. I hope you’ll understand my intensions.
