they can be put anywhere on the cd. thats why you have to put the path to slideshow.hta into slideshow.cmd start %CDROM%%PATHTOSLIDESHOW%slideshow.hta you simply replace this with your path e.g. start %CDROM%\Software\Slideshow\slideshow.hta filelist.js, config.js text.js and defaultback.jpg must be in the same folder like slideshow.hta your images can theoretically be anywhere, but i prefere to put them in a seperate imgaes folder inside the slideshow folder. then you will have to write the paths to the images into filellist.js like this: var images = new Array( "images/image1.jpg", "images/image2.jpg" ); remember: slideshow.cmd uses windows file paths (use \ 'backslash' for folder seperations), but filelist.js uses web format for paths (use / 'normal slach' for folder seperations) i hope this helps. if not feel free to ask questions

if you did not modify slideshow.hta then there must be an error in filelist.js check it for errors. did you close the quotation marks? make sure you do not have a , after the last entry. make sure you have a ); at the end of your filelist. if you think that everything is all right then plz post your filelist.js and config.js here and ill look into it

if u dun tell me what u did i cannot tell what u did wrong

what is the error u get? and what did u do or not do?

hmm, a flash movie does not seem to work, because you must have flash installed in order to play flash movies, and u dont at the beginning of a windows installation. the only thing that should work is outputting ur flash mivie as .exe and then loading it directly into detachedprogram

there is no variable to expand it to the whole screen, because then you wont be able to see the text on the left. the one u have is made with editing winntbbu.dl_

thx thats it! i just needed it to block any changes to theese values, cuz for an unknown reason every time i quit windvd it sets my speaker configuration to stereo, althougth i have 5.1

where do i find the registry entry for advanced audio propereties? espetially the one that tells the speaker configuration (eg. stereo desktop speakers or 5.1 speakers....)

no, actually you can't but this is a good idea, ill make file extra for u where you can embed flash, but it'll take some time, due to i am unfamiliar with embedding flash in html

well i have a small problem with weindows media player. when i try to play a widescreen dvd on my 16:10 notebook (default resolution 1680:1050) wmp first adds black to top and bottom to make it suit 4.3 and then adds additional black to make it suit my desktop resolution. how do i make wmp play my dvds in widescreen on the whole display?

no because TXTSETUP.SIF is not responsible for this kind of launches. as far as i can remember TXTSETUP.SIF is responsible for device drivers. only winnt.sif can launch a program at the very beginning of the installation througth detachedprogram see http://unattended.msfn.org/global/timeline.htm for details

ok this should help open up slideshow.cmd and replace %PATHTOSLIDESHOW% by the path where your slideshow folder will be located on the cdrom eg if your slideshow resides in D:\slideshow\slideshow.hta your last line should look like: start %CDROM%\slideshow\slideshow.hta remember not to have any spaces in your folder names. open up your winnt.sif and under [GuiUnattended] add the line DetachedProgram="%systemdrive%\install\slideshow.cmd" last but not least put slideshow.cmd into $OEM$\$1\install in your windows cd. burn, enjoy

i dont exactly understand what you mean, but if you want to preview the slideshow, then you can simply do this by executing slideshow.hta (simply doubleclick on it)

well, this would do the thing if it would work. ufortunately i get a compilation error on line 1 Char 9 syntax error code 800A03EA any ideas?

i am really sorry for this question, but is there a commandline command to change the current wallpaper to another file. just changing the rigistry entry does not do the thing. plz help.

%SystemRoot%\system32\rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL %SystemRoot%\system32\desk.cpl desk,@Themes /Action:OpenTheme /file:"%1" where %1 is your desired themefile

you can add any image that can be viewed by internet explorer. jpg, gif (even animated), bmp, png, .... you can edit your images in photoshop first and then add them to the slideshow. i do not exactly understand what you mean.

well, i didnt know exactly into which forum to put this, but i wasnt satisfiyed with the ability to edit the Setup Billboard. so i decided to do it better. i wanted to have a picture slideshow instead of the windows text, which can be edited, but it remains text. so i made a small script that can be launched from DetachedProgram and replaces the windows text messages with your custom picture slideshow. this should adjust itself to any setup resolution. even to widescreen ones. look config.js to adjust the tiomeout (how often the images should be changed.) unfortunately you have to make an imagelist and put it into filelist.js var images = new Array( "image1.jpg", "image2.jpg" ); you can also add your own text that is displayed above the images (any HTML tag can be used there), otherwise leave it empty. then no text is displayed. (you dont have to make an empty text entry for each image) last but not least edit slideshow.cmd to enter the prper path to the slideshow and start slideshow.cmd form DetachedProgram in winnt.sif. did i miss something? any comments? plz some feedback slideshow.zip

well, i would like to pinpiont to this question again

yeah, thx very much, that does the thing!

i know this is a very silly question, but is it possible to run a dos game, that forces itself into fullscreen (turning the switch in the window options to windowed does not do the thing) to run in windowed mode. especially goblins 1

is there a was to include additional proofing tools from the proofing tools cd into my shrinked office installation?

ok, i think i got it. turning standby off and closing the display switches it off. pressing the sleep key sends the laptop into standby. unplugging the usb-mouse resumes it from standby

i have no button to turn off the lcd!

actually i do have such a sheme (turns display off after a minute) and a normal laptop sheme that also shuts hard disks down and so on, but i was thinking of some kind of shortcut, that i can manually use or not use.
