Try Silent way: rundll32.exe advpack.dll,DelNodeRunDLL32 %systemdrive%\Drivers rundll32.exe advpack.dll,DelNodeRunDLL32 %systemdrive%\install Also work in RunOnceEx

I'd like to know if is there a GPO or something easy to allow normal users to install fonts in Windows XP. I hate that administrator task , a lot of time I'll save if an user can do it by himself every time a new font should be instaled in all machines.

The thing is that I get the list from Windows Update on a clean install under simulation... so if the hotfixes are showing up on Windows Update, I keep them on the list... no matter what. Mark them as unnecesary with a symbol like "-", so keep listed as "remove at your own risk". Another approach: Make a list of superseded hotfix like RyanVM one in his site.

RTFM: CDROM:\Docs\MSI_FAQ.txt

Short answer: RTFM! Long answer: Every time you ask a silly question, already properly documented you'll have no answer. If you go off-topic you get ignored. Only in few cases where the balance between mood and time allow maybe you get an answer:

Well, I already did that code before ask you about the directory structure. The AIP regenerate the directory structure.

Educated guess: No.I asked first and you tell me it doesn't matter... This magic line of code remove the undesired stuff from the file list: for /f "usebackq delims=: tokens=2" %%i IN (`expand -D data1.cab`) do echo%%i>>ard7.ddf Just in case you need full pathnames use this line instead: for /f "usebackq delims=: tokens=3" %%i IN (`expand -D c:\somepath\data1.cab`) do echo%%i>>ard7.ddf

Here you are:@echo off Set diamond=ard7.ddf Set cabinet=..\ESP\data1.cab echo .OPTION EXPLICIT >%diamond% echo .Set ReservePerCabinetSize=6144 >>%diamond% echo .Set DiskDirectoryTemplate= >>%diamond% echo .Set Cabinet=on >>%diamond% echo .Set Compress=on >>%diamond% echo .Set CompressionType=LZX >>%diamond% echo .Set CompressionMemory=21 >>%diamond% echo .Set CompressionLevel=7 >>%diamond% echo .Set CabinetNameTemplate=Data1.cab >>%diamond% echo .Set MaxDiskSize=CDROM >>%diamond% for /f "usebackq delims=: tokens=2" %%i IN (`expand -D %cabinet%`) do echo%%i>>%diamond% expand %cabinet% -F:* .

You may get the idea from the first part Bug: Don't ever use a full pathname for the cabinet file because of the colon (':') is used as delimiter. No, I just became picky about the diferences: It works anyway.

Could the start menu folder be selected at unattended instalation time for .msi files? For example I'd like "Norton Antivirus" go to "Security/Norton Antivirus" There should be a switch for that

I'd been used instead: expand -D data1.cab > file-list.txt The same order is output with less stuff to remove. Testing your method I found some diferences: Now the question is: How to expand the folder estructure? And: How to set the "set ID"? I noted the option in cabarc but I mean using standart Makecab directive.

Is the wish list open? I'd like to add a default directory where uncompresed files go when compressed. Eg. Recicle bin

Did M$ published a solution for this or is there another solution? I just realized that inserting a floppy #1 and see the contents in windows explorer, then inserting a floppy #2 it shows contents of floppy #1; even if F5 hitted it may not always work. I think is a cache related issue, but I have no clue how to configure/disable it. Thanks in advance.

did you?

Use multiple sources at once: Install from HD:

From ref.chm: Mmm, interesting. How the .udb file looks like inside?

WSH 5 and later: Sub Pausa(Segundos) WScript.Sleep (Segundos * 1000) End SubEarlier versions (later and anytime too): Sub Pausa(Segundos) Hasta = DateAdd("s", Segundos, Now) Do While Hasta > Now Loop End Sub I lost my VBS skills, only Copy and Paste skills remains, so don't ask me if the last routine has the midnight bug or not, I think not but I'm not sure anymore.

@Viper999: WTF compname.exe is? Try MAC adresses first, then replace all instances of GetMac with compname.exe Here we relies on NIC MAC adresses uniqueness. But whatever compname.exe return should also work. @Thinkster: Care to edit the first post with the final solution? This topic is becoming popular...

You are free to start a new topic, as the title should change to from 7.02 to 7.03. To get an exact copy of the first post quote me. I will update the first post with a link to the new topic. Why you bother? Uninstall entries did never work and is language dependant. Better to remove the entries than remame them. I refuse to support that kind of intended audience. Good luck.

Double post!

Already covered!

I'm unable to find the link to ryanvm forum where hotfixes are listed in a easy way to understand what is superseded. I promess I'll bookmark next time... In the meanwhile is safe to copy and paste blindy that these hotfixes are not needed anymore.
