I test my Autounattend.xml in Vista Ultimate SP1 (slipstream) ...aaand what i find... example this part from xml does work... (auto-chose which version of Vista is to be installed) <cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:/sources/install.wim#Windows Vista ULTIMATE" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" /> BUT this working! (in Vista withnout SP1 not) <NetworkLocation>Other</NetworkLocation> <TimeZone>Central Europe Standard Time</TimeZone> (no longer need any reg tweaks)

hmm i test "Other (Public)" and "Work" ... same problem both

yes i have same problem http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=108905 ... but this is bug from MS

and what? i have "base score" 5.9

after long time next update added registry tweaks: # Show hidden System Files # Search in SystemFolders # Allow run LowRiskFileTypes (in network) # Add command prompt to right click context menu # PhishingFilter ON # ControlPanel Classic # Open with regsvr32 + Services with warning + DLL part have some "explanation"

yes, thanx for tips my lite version : [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.dll] @="dllfile" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\Shell\Register dll\command] @="regsvr32.exe \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\Shell\UnRegister dll\command] @="regsvr32.exe /u \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ocx] @="ocxfile" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ocxfile\Shell\Register ocx\command] @="regsvr32.exe \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ocxfile\Shell\UnRegister ocx\command] @="regsvr32.exe /u \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ax] @="axfile" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\axfile\Shell\Register ax\command] @="regsvr32.exe \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\axfile\Shell\UnRegister ax\command] @="regsvr32.exe /u \"%1\""

only !@#$! without experience thoughtlessly apply any tweaks on his system ... pfff

Hi all My autounattend.xml include this: ... <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <OOBE> <HideEULAPage>true</HideEULAPage> <NetworkLocation>Other</NetworkLocation> <ProtectYourPC>1</ProtectYourPC> </OOBE> <TimeZone>Central Europe Standard Time</TimeZone> </component> ... but after Vista is installed create "first start wizard" this ... why?... same problem with "chose user name", "type of protect", "timezone" etc. only table "computer name" working (be skipped)

you dont understand... i need set this BEFORE is SS complete installed ...like Outpost or Kaspersky

instalator: Typical / Custom 01/ Welcome 02/ EULA 03/ Installation Mode (Typical/Custom) 04/ Automatic Update / Path 05/ ThreatSense.Net / Internet Connection 06/ Detect of potentially unwanted applications / Automatic update 07/ Ready to Install / Password protect settings 08/ - / ThreatSense.Net 09/ - / Detect of potentially unwanted applications 10/ - / Personal firewall (3 modes) 11/ - / Ready to Install ... nothing about allow sharing

... and how install Smart Security with "allow sharing"? because after SS is instaled complete blocking my network :/

"All you should need to do is throw the intaller MSI into the Updates folder and it will execute it after the installation process completes. This is true of all of the new MS apps." http://board.iexbeta.com/index.php?showtopic=68876 hmm this folder (upgrade/updates) is not for hotfixes

"Update" have some Vista betas and Office 07 ... final Vista have Upgrade Thurrot's article in my original post *is* about the final Vista and he mentions Updates in that one while mentioning Upgrade in another. Vista 32/64 RTM or Final Retail inclune only "Upgrade" folder in root... folder include "netfx" subfolder with NETFramework 1.1 http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/winvista_03.asp Updates folder found in the root of any Vista Setup DVD Thurrot review is from RC or beta...

I find this for Office 07 Michael: And the technology that makes that feature possible, is the Office open XML format correct? Eric: That’s part of it, so the Open XML format is definitely a key feature of Office and there are a lot of advantages there but in addition in the set up controller itself there’s a way that Office set up is written it’s been architected to take advantage of that functionality. One other last thing, I’m sorry, I want to mention, it has to do with patching. There’s no need now to do anything special or complicated in order to incorporate a patch into your Office installation point. Now your Office installation point contains a folder inside called update and you can simply drop patches into this update folder and set up nodes to install those patches so it looks in the update folder and installs those patches as part of the Office installation so it’s very easy to keep your copy of Office up to date. drop patches into this update folder and set up nodes to install those patches

"Update" have some Vista betas and Office 07 ... final Vista have Upgrade

i drag-n-drop only CAB files from expanded MSUs (expand -F:* ...) ... but still nothing

added: # TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper remove: # COM+ Event System # Background Intelligent Transfer Service # Windows Update why remove? COM+ Event System this require Background Intelligent Transfer Service Background Intelligent Transfer Service Windows Update this need for download updates Windows Update offline hotfixes or autopatcher and other utilites dont work

added: # COM+ Event System # Function Discovery Provider Host # Human Interface Device Access # IKE and AuthIP IPsec Keying Modules # IP Helper # IPsec Policy Agent # KtmRm for Distributed Transaction Coordinator # Server # Terminal Services

Now i complete first Service Tweaks list Disable all this: # Application Experience # Background Intelligent Transfer Service # Base Filtering Engine # DFS Replication # Function Discovery Resource Publication # Group Policy Client # Network List Service # Network Location Awareness # Offline Files # PnP-X IP Bus Enumerator # Portable Device Enumerator Service # ReadyBoost # Remote Registry # Secondary Logon # Security Center # Shell Hardware Detection # SSDP Discovery # Tablet PC Input Service # WebClient # Windows Defender # Windows Error Reporting Service # Windows Firewall # Windows Media Center Service Launcher # Windows Time # Windows Update all need in services.tweak_vista.rar

Vista DVD include in root upgrade folder (like Office 2007 with Updates folder) in this folder is Framework updates... I compile new iso with ".msu" last hotfixes into DVD but nothing Vista installed Microsoft has completely changed the way it services Windows. In the past, the process of combining, or slipstreaming, service packs and hot-fixes into a Windows install were tedious and error-prone. Now, all you have to do is copy the update into an Updates folder found in the root of any Vista Setup DVD, install share, or Setup image. It's literally that simple: All future installs will automatically incorporate any updates stored in that folder.

next update is HERE! i find way how very simple replace any system DLL, EXE, etc ... uxtheme.dll , notepad.exe with simple command! # Replace uxtheme.dll, themeui.dll, shsvcs.dll # Eliminate Windows Security Center - systemtray icon all include new DLL.Tweak Vista.rar

try regsvr32 with full path of file i resolve this problem in first step disable all Vista protection like UAC (no only UAC) and restart... with my registry tweaks all works fine http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=88641

update is here! Added: # Disable Hide inactive icons # Disable LangBar # Disable Autoplay # Disable Windows Vista Sidebar - StartUp # Customize Start Menu (updated) # Start Menu - Small Icons # Disable Windows Sounds (updated)

system32 ? no way...
