I need a help, please!
So, I've created an Administrative Installation Point using my Office11 Pro CD and slipstreamed SP2 & all Hotfixes following this. After that I've successfully installed updated Office form HD. But, after burning (with Nero and UltraISO) my Updated Administrative Installation Point on CD I can't install Office from this CD. I tried to do it on several Windows machines and I always had this error
To insert my original Office CD doesn't help
. On the net I found the needed DLL Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath.SemiTrust.dll is included in Office 2003 PIA download. I downloaded this package and I tried to incorporate it in my Administrative Installation Point without success .Any help would be very appreciated!
Did you find a fix for this iii333 ? I have the exact same issue. When installed directly from the hard drive, no problems at all. But if I burn the files to cd I get this same error. Only solution I've come up with is NOT to install InfoPath. Installation is fine then.
But why would it install perfectly from the HDD but not CD?

Those of you who are having errors with the Windows Installer download, I'm pretty sure I corrected the problem. Bug test it?
Works fantastic, no problems at all. Pity I spent last night manually downloading all the updates....
Great work jcarle

Having a problem getting my taskbars in IE & Explorer to configure the way I want them to. The taskbar positions are fine, just as I want, but it comes up with large icons/selective text when I want small icons with no text. As well, the taskbars aren't locked.
I have tried copying the settings from my current install but nothing has worked, any suggestions?

Have just about everything working as I want right now, just a couple of minor things. One of them is AnyDVD wanting to check for updates when it first starts.
I hunted through the registry & found the key for this function but even appying it last thing before cleanup doesn't work. It's as if the program overwrites the registry entries when first run so still wants to check for updates.
Anyone have a fix for this?

and you have a few un-escaped quote's there too, which would cause problems. Try...
cmdow @ /HID@Echo Off
rem PP=%SystemDrive%\Install\
SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx
REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\000 /VE /D "Preparing Installation..." /f
REG ADD %KEY%\000 /V 1 /D "%SystemDrive%\Install\prepare.cmd" /f

EXIT
And make sure all the paths are correct.

I had to repak mine to get it to work silently. Unpacked using WinRAR, then repacked as an SFX with the following comments/commands:
Setup=Setup.exe -s
TempMode
Silent=1
Overwrite=1I then install it at T-12 with:
ECHO.
ECHO Installing PowerDVD 5.0
ECHO Please wait...
start /w %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\PowerDvD\PowerDVD-repak.exe0 -
from runonce still works if you use nlite to remove the update driver from web prompt. this has already discussed before and there is a guide somewhre
I've tried it that way before using [GuiRunOnce] but still the driver search comes up. Running the install @ T-12 is the only solution I've found for a totally silent install. The method works with both Daemon Tools & Alchohol 120%.
I actually try to install most of my programs at T-12, all though there are a few that won't work properly from there. It just trial & error.

That error occurs simply because Media Player hasn't been installed, having been removed by nLite.
There are 2 solutions to this problem - either install the Media Player component in nLite or remove the indeo video components (4,5 & 32) from the K-Lite pack. Either of these methods should solve the problem.

For some reason hiether the /HIDE switch or the ini version work for me using AVG7 free.
any other suggestions?

Yeah, the MSI makes things simple. I run from cmdlines.txt at T-12 just using the /qb switch.
I've noticed that programs that normally want a reboot don't when run from cmdlines.txt. And those that usually ask for driver installs (daemon tools, Alcohol 120% and such) don't when installed from here also. Not all can be run from cmdlines.txt, but a lot can.

EDIT: Nevermind I got it, but here's my new questions what about tweaks for office 2003, firefox, etc I think I should make seperate regtweaks one for T-12 and after RunOnceEx
Yes, it's best to install registry tweaks for programs after you have installed them otherwise the install will probably overwrite them. General windows tweaks go in at T-12 for me & others after each program installs.

Here's my section from winnt.sif that automates creating the partition and formatting. I assume it could be modified to automate creating multiple partitions and/or formatting multiple drives.
[DiskConfig]
Disk1="Disk1.config"
[Disk1.config]
Size1="*"
PartitionType1="primary"
FileSystem1="ntfs"
Quickformat1="yes"Hmmmm, do you have anything else setup to be able to use those sections? If they work, they would make partioning very easy. I can easily see how to set it up to use multiple drives & partitions. Would be VERY handy.
Can't find anything about those sections in Ref.chm

to install to d, under [unattended] set the TargetPath to what you need, for example:
[Unattended]
TargetPath = "D:\Windows"As for formatting the drive, as far as I know there is no way to format a secondary partition during an unintended install. Perhaps it could be done with BartPE? never looked at that yet.

The add registry tweak to my computer is not working at all for me.
The attached pic is the error I get every single time.
Yeah I'm an admin, etc and no restrictions are in place.
EDIT - oddbasket beat me - his works fine for me.
@Diabolical82 - I find it best to add the tweaks at T-12 so they're set for all users.

Hi all from Sydney, Oz. been running around the boards for about a week so I thought it's about time to say hello.
Thanks to this site, in one week I have gone from a total n00b to now having a completely unattended XP+SP2 install disk with around 30 extra utils/programs & updates added. All on an ISO that's less than 400mb. Simply outstanding. Just waiting for my office 2k3 to arrive so I can add that.
So a big thanks to for the tutorials & to all those who over time have added thier knowledge on the forums to make life so much easier for us all.
I have not only learnt about making my own install disk, but along the way have increased my knowledge of the Windows registry, how windows setup works, scripting & batch files and found numerous, USEFUL utils & tweaks that I never knew existed.
Once again, thanks to all who contribute to the MSFN site.

You are probably listing the parent of each group in the .inf file. This causes ALL items in that group to be installed no matter what is selected. So if you have something like this in silent.inf:
Components=player,player\bsplayer,video,video\divx,video\xvid,qt,qt\codecremove the parent listing (colored red above) so it looks like:
Components=player\bsplayer,video\divx,video\xvid,qt\codec
Do this for all groups - player, video, qt, real, audio, filters, tools & compat. Once thats done it will only install what's listed.
Note also that some entries, such as video\divx, are also parents to third level options (video\divx\dec, video\divx\enc for example). If you only want to install some of these 3rd level items then you must also remove the entry for thier 2nd level parent otherwise, once again, all the 3rd level options will be installed no matter what else is selected.

lol - thanks JPamplin, you're probably right.
But then again, I was looking for a single teak similar to what I found for the 9x version, not something burried away in a great list of settings. And when the setting doesn't exist at all, one way or the other, in the registry it isn't easy to notice.

Sorry, that doesn't appear to have any effect for me at all, what's it supposed to do?
I'm using Classic Start Menu & what I'm looking for is to be able to go:
Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> [whatever from CP], all without leaving the start menu.
Was so simple to do under 9x and I'm supprised I haven't been able to find it for XP.

Hi, been searching the forum here for so long looking for this particular tweak I almost have square eyes!
What I'm after is an XP version of a tweak I used to use on my old Win9x machines. It was a very simple registry tweak that turned the Control Panel link on the Start Menu into a folder that expanded out to another menu containing links to everything in the control panel. This gave access without having to open the Control Panel window.
Is there something similar available for for XP?
TIA

Finally got around to giving this a try, works perfectly.
