When I apply the following reg tweak during the cmdlines.txt in a new install of XP My Computer is renamed to some wierd characters. I've applied it to an old install and haven't seen the same thing. But if I go to the same point in the registry the default is 'My Computer' and Localised string is set to the weird characters. On the new install both are set to the weird characters Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ;----- Adds Registry Editor right click of MY Computer ;----- [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}] "LocalizedString"=hex(2):25,55,53,45,52,4e,41,4d,45,25,27,73,20,43,6f,6d,70,75,74,65,72,00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\regedit] @="Registry Editor" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\regedit\command] @="Regedit.exe"

Partition drives automaticly, for example if you have 2 drives partition them as Drive 1= C:\windows D:\programs Drive 2= E:\Documents F:\more files or how ever you wanted.

Depends on the drive, but what I do is add the drivers to the OEM folder that can be loaded that way. Then I use a command script that runs using cmdlines.txt that checks if the drivers have been installed and runs the installer program for the control panels etc. For example my Hauppauge TV card has to have its drivers installed via .inf files and then running a setup.exe file.

I used AutoIT

I trying to silently install a program that was in a selfextracting zip that required a password. I unzipped it and used winrar to repack it so it didn't ask for a password. But it still prompts for the installation directory. Is it possible to change this by editing the .inf file? The program is Regvac version 3.0 registered version. I also tried using Installrite but I kept getting errors saying memory could not be accessed when I tried to make an install kit. Thanks for any help.

Why don't you use nlite to do that for you?

start /wait %systemdrive%\"Program Files"\winzip\winzip32.exe /noqp /autoinstall

Has anyone added drivers to a windows Pro x64 CD? I have a K8N-E board and have succecfully added nvidia and si3114r drivers to my 32bit xp pro cd using green machines method. But when I try that with the 64bit cd the nvidia drivers work but the drives on the si3114r controller don't show up and I don't get any errors. I tried coping the si314r drivers to the testmode folder and using the [OEMbootfiles] and [MassStorageDevices] in Winnt.sif. But when I do I get an error txtsetup.oem as caused an error (18) in line 1864 in ..... I can load them using F6 method OK. I can't test it on virtual PC like I did with my 32bit CD. I put the $oem$ directory under amd64 folder because thats were I found txtsetup.sif and the nvidia drivers worked so I think thats correct. The funny thing is I removed the line oempnpdriverspath from winnt.sif and the nvidia drivers still loaded. could there be a problem with the txtsetup.oem file even though it works with the F6 method. I relize the OS is still in beta so maybe thats the problem anyway I'm rambling now. heres the txtsetup.oem file ; This file installs the SiI 3114 serial ATA RAID driver as part of text ; mode setup on 64-bit versions of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. ; ; Copyright © 2003 by Silicon Image, Inc. ; All rights reserved [Disks] disk2 = "Silicon Image SiI 3114 SATARaid Driver Installation Disk",\amd64\Si3114r.inf,\amd64 [Defaults] SCSI = Si3114r_AMD64 [sCSI] ; HwComponent section Si3114r_AMD64 = "Silicon Image SiI 3114 SATARaid Controller (AMD 64-bit)" [Files.SCSI.Si3114r_AMD64] driver = disk2,si3114r.sys, Si3114r driver = disk2,SiWinAcc.sys, SiFilter inf = disk2,SI3114r.inf ;;catalog = disk2, Si3114r.cat [HardwareIds.SCSI.Si3114r_AMD64] id = "PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3114&SUBSYS_61141095", "Si3114r" id = "PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3114&SUBSYS_288510F1", "Si3114r" id = "PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3114&SUBSYS_047AA0A0", "Si3114r" id = "PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3114&SUBSYS_0478A0A0", "Si3114r" id = "PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3114&SUBSYS_0479A0A0", "Si3114r" id = "PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3114&SUBSYS_90181695", "Si3114r" id = "PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3114&SUBSYS_F642270F", "Si3114r" id = "PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3114&SUBSYS_100415BD", "Si3114r" id = "PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3114&SUBSYS_81361043", "Si3114r" [Config.Si3114r] value = Parameters\PnpInterface, "5", REG_DWORD, 1 value = ProblemDevices, "", REG_SZ, "" value = ProblemDevices, "Maxtor 4D060H3 DAK05GK0", REG_SZ, "MaxMode = UDMA-5"
