@maxXPsoft I found if during the addons if I copy an old $OEM$ file from a previous run of se7en the cmd files have all my edits in them. Which is good But when I did that the add applications button was already checked so I went to the next step. Anyway the second time I clicked add applications and did a load all so my apps were copied. When I did a pack image I recieved arror complaining about non .msu files in the Hfixes directory. I checked and all those files were in both the hfixes and ...\$OEM$\$1\install directories. The errors didn't cause any problems during installation in vmware.

Right.

@maxXPsoft Internet Backgammon is not being disabled. I've tried unchecking just internet games, then nun of the internet games get disabled. When I uncheck the three internet games Bacgammon doest get disabled. This is whats in the zFEATURES.TXT file after running se7en_ua. If you need to see the entire file let me know. Feature Name : Internet Games State : Enable Pending Feature Name : Internet Checkers State : Disable Pending Feature Name : Internet Backgammon State : Enable Pending Feature Name : Internet Spades State : Disable Pending

obviously yours will be PowerDVD9.sim Ah no missed that part, have to go back and redo it. Thanks maybe now I can get rid of the autoit script That worked! Thanks again Urie

Wrong method with PowerDVD you actually make the silent installer i,e, an SFX Check out the powerdvd silent install also Here I've already made silent installs using winrar Those methods edit the ini files so no switched required on setup.exe so I use setup.exe /S /v/qn not that big a deal. I did try them and I stall had to enter my cd key when I first started powerdvd the first time I ran it to activate it. The reg key that se7en copys already has the cdkey in it. So no need for me to edit it. either way the request to register is removed but not to Activate. Unless I'm missing something from the links you gave. The Autoit file is still needed to avtivate powerdvd 9 so I don't have to hunt for my cd key when I run it for the first time after its been installed.

You can see the description about FLAG4 at the first page of this topic: Extract: when I use FLAG4 I get a popup says FLAG4nr1.txt is missing and FLAG4 cannot be processed for powerdvd9

With some programs I install firt or after a reg file including the key and my customization on my computer, like:rarreg.key (after) and Tuneup.reg (begin) [WinRAR] REM http://www.rarlab.com/ REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /VE /D "WinRAR 3.92" /f REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /V Inum /D "CMD /C Start /Wait %SystemDrive%\APPS\WinRAR\wrar392fr.exe /s" /f REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /V Inum /D "REGEDIT /S %SystemDrive%\APPS\WinRAR\rarreg.key" /f FLAG1=HKCU\SOFTWARE\WinRAR [TuneUp] REM http://www.tuneup.fr/company/ REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /VE /D "TuneUp Utilities 2008" /f REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /V Inum /D "REGEDIT /S %SystemDrive%\APPS\TuneUp\TuneUp.reg" /f REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /V Inum /D "CMD /C Start /Wait %SystemDrive%\APPS\TuneUp\TU2008TrialFR.exe /qn /norestart" /f Maybe there is an other possibility? I'm thinking Autoit.

Hello You can find some help here with Autounattend.xml: That makes it so my password doesn't expire. It doesn't make it so I don't have to enter it when I logon to my computer.

I'm working on an install of Powerdvd 9. The main program and two updatres were extracted with uniextract and I placed the folders in my APPS folder in powerdvd9 folder. Here's what I have so in my Appswitch.dat Without the FLAGs I can't install the updates until I start powerdvd and enter the serial number. [powerdvd9] REM http://www.gocyberlink.com/english/index.jsp REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /VE /D "PowerDVD 9" /f REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /V Inum /D "CMD /C Start /Wait %SystemDrive%\APPS\powerdvd9\POWERdvd9Ultra/setup.exe /S /v/qn" /f FLAG1=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\CyberLink FLAG1=HKLM\Software\Cyberlink FLAG1=HKCU\Software\Cyberlink REM the line below copies registration data FLAG3=%SystemDrive%\Users\jim\Documents\CyberLink REM FLAG3=%SystemDrive%\Users\Public\CyberLink REM FLAG3=%SystemDrive%\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\CyberLink REM FLAG3=%SystemDrive%\ProgramData\CyberLink REM FLAG3=%SystemDrive%\Users\All Users\CyberLink REM FLAG3=%SystemDrive%\Users\jim\AppData\Local\CyberLink REM FLAG3=%SystemDrive%\ProgramData\CyberLink REM FLAG4=Software\Cyberlink REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /V Inum /D "CMD /C Start /Wait %SystemDrive%\APPS\powerdvd9\Cyberlink01/setup.exe /S /v/qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /V Inum /D "CMD /C Start /Wait %SystemDrive%\APPS\powerdvd9\Cyberlink02/setup.exe /S /v/qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /V Inum /D "CMD /C Start /Wait %SystemDrive%\APPS\powerdvd9\activatepowerdvd.exe" /f Everything gets installed unattended and I'm not prompted to register. The problem is I still have to enter the serial number and activate when I first start powerdvd. I think the problem is with the FLAG3 entry I'm using, it's only possible to have one right? During runonceextester it says it can't process the FLAG4 entery because FLAG4nr1.txt is missing what is FLAG4nr1.txt and where does it go? I got it to work by using this autoit script. It has to be edited with your serial number. Also I'm running on Win7 ultimate X64 activatepowerdvd.au3 Opt("WinWaitDelay",100) Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",4) Opt("WinDetectHiddenText",1) Opt("MouseCoordMode",0) ClipPut("KEY goes here with no dashes") Sleep(1000) Run('C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD9\Activate.exe') WinWait("Activation","Your trial version e") If Not WinActive("Activation","Your trial version e") Then WinActivate("Activation","Your trial version e") WinWaitActive("Activation","Your trial version e") Sleep(1000) Send("{CTRLDOWN}v{CTRLUP}") Sleep(1000) MouseMove(613,471) MouseDown("left") MouseUp("left") WinWait("Activation","Activating now") If Not WinActive("Activation","Activating now") Then WinActivate("Activation","Activating now") WinWaitActive("Activation","Activating now") Sleep(1000) MouseMove(143,149) MouseDown("left") MouseUp("left") Sleep(1000) WinKill("Activation") Exit

Why r u using reg files when u can automate it via autounattend.xml in setting pass = oobesystem, like this <settings pass="oobeSystem"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral"versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> </component> <AutoLogon> <Enabled>true</Enabled> <LogonCount>1</LogonCount> <Username>Administrator</Username> </AutoLogon> </component> </settings> The reg file makes it permanent. The xml can be changed from 1 login count to 999. (Don't know if it could go higher or not. But thats still not permanent.

@MaxXPsoft would it be usefull to beable to install reg files from different points in setup? Or is it already possiible? I've been reading the forum and the help files but couldn't see anything. I use the following reg file to setup auto logon Autologon.reg Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "AutoAdminLogon"="1" "DefaultUserName"="anAdministrator" "DefaultPassword"="password" I have it in my REGadd folder and it gets placed in cleadup.cmd. But it only works if its run from setupcomplete.cmd. Is there a way to make Se7en_UA put it there? Or If you have other ideas? I know one idea is for me to improve my memory so I don't forget to edit the cmd files! Thanks jbm

Unless you are burning dual layer then this most likely won't fit on dvd. 4453 and it add's 80 mb or so when it writes so you exceed the 4.5 limit.I get around this since APPS folder can be on any drive including usb this way Right before you Burn just Delete the Se7enUA\uaDVD\APPS folder EDIT: Actually you can move that folder to another drive instead of delete. I have to do that everytime I go for full install since I don't have dual layer EDIT 2:1 more thing. Your original APPS folder is your complete backup to all your applications. It copies there as well as the uaDVD\APPS folder so on setup if it can see either it will give you choice of which to use. does that make sense? Yes it does. I got the message after adding a few more apps, but I was just testing it in vmware with an iso. I have an 8GB usb stick that I can use. Jbm, Se7en_UA was build to minimize size of ur windows image, but u can edit it manually by moving ur apps folder for temporary, after u finished with all those needed step, move it again to ur Se7en_UA folder (eg ur windows DVD), the most important appswitch.dat have ur apps listed otherwise it will failed after first logon cmd or audit user cmd depends on what u prefered for apps installer. Hope it help! Just to be sure I understand. Before I create the ISO I can delete or move the APPS folder to a different drive. Then create the ISO. When I install windows and the apps installer starts I can choose the apps folder. I noticed during an install when the Apps installed starts it gives a choice for D:\APPS or H:\APPS D: is my HD and H: is the DVD. If I had deleted the on dvd I'd just have the one on D: and my apps would be installed from that location. But this is kind of mute now. I just did an install from a USB memery stick and don't think I'll be going back to using a DVD.

I've decided to wait and spend a little more. The monitor I get needs at least one HDMI port. would also like a DVI-D port but could use a DVI to VGA adaptor. Looking to spend in the $250-$300 range

I'd never heard of Spectre until I read this review on AnandTech. http://www.anandtech.com/show/3728/sceptre-x270w-1080p-review-value-27-that-delivers The warrant is only one year, while the Samsung is 3 years. The only thing is the Samsung ports go directly out the back which make it hard to hang on the wall if one so desired. Newegg sells a bunch of monitors with in $50 or so of the spectre, some cheaper with a better warranty. What do you think of the Mag? http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010190020+1109917843&QksAutoSuggestion=&ShowDeactivatedMark=False&Configurator=&Subcategory=20&description=&Ntk=&CFG=&SpeTabStoreType=&srchInDesc=LED

That makes sense, but every other place I can think of has gone out of business or is online only. Actually now that I think about it, there are some furniture store could try. But I'm not sure they wouldn't have the same problem.

Doing more research it seems there is also different type of LED back lights. namelt white or RGB, RGB being the best and most expenive of the two. And I'm sure this one is using white LEDs. Maybe I'll go to BestBuy to see if they have some I can compare.

I got this last message during my last run of Se7en_UA Whats the answer?

On Newegg I've found two spectre brand LCD monitors. Both are 1920 x 1080 res, 2ms , 23.6 inch One has an LED backlight and brightness of 250 and DC 5,000,000 (1000:1) for $249.99 The other had a brightness of 300 and DCR(40000:1) 1000:1 for $179.99 Is it worth the exter $80 to get the LED back lit monitor?

During the copying of the dvd I gat a runtime error 5 Actually it was after copying the dvd and before it mounts the wim to setup tools. Now I get it everytime I try to start the program.

Thanks for this program, It the best! I'm running driverbackup2183 on on windows7 64bit. It backuped all my drivers with no problems except for my creative X-fi card. I get the error unable to create folder.

You could use the startup folder. open help and support and search for startup folder.

In their Jan issue CPU mag gived Norton 2010 five stars. They said it was the best of all the ones they tested. But I've used Norton antivirus before. Actually I've only used trial versions and have always removed them after a few days. Anyway I went to download the trial for Norton 2010 and they want a credit card number so after 30 days they can bill your card if you don't opt out. I didn't download it.

Just tried version 6.1.5 when I click the cleanup.cmd checkbox. When I return to the main screen the remove item and its checkbox are gone.

You'll have to be more specific. What unofficial updares are you talking about? I think that would depends on where your getting these 'unofficial updates'. Do you trust the source?
