[Visual Studio 2012 Express unattended]

Hi,

I'm trying to perform an unattended installation of VS2012 Express for Windows Desktop without some packages (like SQL things). However, I do not have a way to list the available packages and disable them through AdminDeployment.xml, like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<AdminDeploymentCustomizations xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2011/AdminDeployment">
   <BundleCustomizations TargetDir="default" NoWeb="yes"/>

   <SelectableItemCustomizations>
		<SelectableItemCustomization Id="windows61_kb2664825_x86msu" Selected="no" />
  </SelectableItemCustomizations>

</AdminDeploymentCustomizations>

The packages listed here do not seem to work with this version, nor do the ones that I got from the MSI log:

Does anybody have experience with this type of unattended setup?

[Install Office 2003 from Windows unattended media]

Hi Sp0iLedBrAt, I created another transform that just modifies the media table. I apply both this new transform and the one I created with ORK.

[Install Office 2003 from Windows unattended media]

I've fixed this by creating a transforms that modifies the last entry in the Media table, the one with DiskId 200, LastSequence 5000 and no volume label. I set the label to OFFICE11 and now it works.

[Install Office 2003 from Windows unattended media]

That's how I created the MST file... 10 years ago. The guide assumes the installation will be copied over to the system drive (i.e. %systemdrive%\install). I've now replaced the use of OEM folders by installation from the OS media.

[Install Office 2003 from Windows unattended media]

When I try to install office 2003 during RunOnceEx from the Windows drive, it fails. It is asking for the Office 2003 media... This does not happen if the office source files are copied to the hard drive and installed from there.

Any idea on how to fix this?

TIA

Edit: This is the error I saw in the installation log:

[Registry import in setupcomplete.cmd does not work]

I solved it by loading the default user registry:

reg load HKU\LoadedDefaultUser "%SystemDrive%\Users\Default\ntuser.dat"

:: Apply common HKCU tweaks to the default account
REGEDIT /S %SystemDrive%\Install\user_regtweaks_common.reg

:: Unload registry hive
reg unload HKU\LoadedDefaultUser

I thought that HKCU pointed to that hive, but I was wrong.

[Registry import in setupcomplete.cmd does not work]

Perhaps uac is turned off after the script is run or isn't turned of for the user running the script because "reg import" will always output something.

Try with those tricks to bypass uac.

That didn't work Reg import outputs "operation completed successfully" or something alike.

Useful tip and info:

http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/24892-Batch-OEM-HKEY_CURRENT_USER-Reg-Tweaks

I'm afraid it's related to that, but it does not seem an elegant solution to me.

Thanks for helping me out

[Registry import in setupcomplete.cmd does not work]

If uac isn't turned off regedit command doesn't run. Perhaps that's why also i would replace "regedit" with "reg import".

UAC is off, I tried with reg import and I got the same results.

If I manually run setupcomplete.cmd, it works.

[Registry import in setupcomplete.cmd does not work]

Hi,

I have some .reg files with settings I'd like all the users to have and I'm trying to apply them in setupcomplete.cmd, so that the default account is modified and new accounts copy the settings from there.

Here's my setupcomplete.cmd

@echo on

echo OK>>C:\setupcomplete.log
:: Apply common HKCU tweaks to the default account
IF EXIST C:\Install\user_regtweaks_common.reg echo Exist user_regtweaks_common.reg>>C:\setupcomplete.log
REGEDIT /S %SystemDrive%\Install\user_regtweaks_common.reg>>%SystemDrive%\setupcomplete.log

:: Console tweaks
IF EXIST C:\Install\console.reg echo Exist console.reg>>C:\setupcomplete.log
REGEDIT /S C:\Install\console.reg>>C:\setupcomplete.log

After setup is completed, setupcomplete.log contains

OK
Exist user_regtweaks_common.reg
Exist console.reg

Does anybody know what's wrong?

[7Customizer - a Windows 7 Customization and Deployment tool]

7. It is highly recommended to place 7Customizer in the root folder (e.g D:\7customizer). It is not recommended to place 7Customizer in your home directory folders (e.g. Documents,Desktop,... etc).

You can also change inside the bootorder.txt the line:

boot\fr-fr\bootsect.exe.mui (with your language!)

I hope you plan to fix that in the future

BTW: I moved 7Customizer to the root, and I still get those errors.

[Can't create an unattended install]

What errors have you with your autounattend file?

You can post to the right topic for 7Customizer:

http://www.msfn.org/.../page__st__1520

If you want an Original Windows 7 Professional SP1, you can download here:

http://www.askvg.com...bit-and-64-bit/

7Customizer does not even work most of the times. With other tools, it says the key is invalid, although if I comment the key in the xml file, I can activate the product later with the same key.

[Can't create an unattended install]

Hi,

I can't create an unattended install with vLite or 7Customizer. I think it's because the ISO that we have contains the following ei.cfg:

[EditionID]
Professional
[Channel]
OEM
[VL]
1

How can I create an unattended install? Is the content of that file relevant? I guess VL stands for Volume License. I wonder what that does.

By the way, we don't have an SP1 iso. Can I get the iso from Microsoft and still have the same features?

Thanks!

I need to slipstream it using nLite, not manual installation. You probably mean the /o switch (overwrite IIRC).

[kb2443685 not recognised by WU]

Hi,

I'm using nLite to slipstream all the updates I have for xp x64, but Windows Update says KB2443685 is not installed. If I let WU install the update, it fails.

Here's the log from the event viewer:

Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x8007f0f4: Update for Windows XP x64 Edition (KB2443685).

Does anyone know what might be going on? Thanks in advance.

[Windows Media Player not correctly installed]

Thanks -X-, I'll have a look at your scripts

[Windows Media Player not correctly installed]

I use nLite (I think I've said that). I have a similar installation of x64 and I have no trouble with it.

I don't want/need IE8 or WMP11, so I just slipstream hotfixes, and for other stuff, I use RunOnceEx.

[Windows Media Player not correctly installed]

Hi,

I have an unattended installation of XP SP3 with hotfixes slipstreamed into it, by using nLite. It seems that some Windows Media specific hotfixes corrupt my installation and when I try to open the player I get an error message asking me to download the player from Microsoft's site and install it again.

If I don't slipstream those fixes, I do not get the error, however Microsoft Update (I use MSBA) says I have to install them.

Does anyone know where the problem is? The hotfixes are:

• WindowsXP-WindowsMedia-KB2378111-x86-ESN.exe
  
• WindowsXP-WindowsMedia-KB954155-x86-ESN.exe
  
• WindowsXP-WindowsMedia-KB973540-x86-ESN.exe
