I use 2 original Vista SP2 OEM disks to load various PC with Vista, a 32-bit disk and a 64-bit disk. I would like to use the Tweak and Unattended sections of vLite so I can walk away from computer during the installation. Is it possible to keep all editions on the image (Ultimate, Home Premium, etc) and still use the tweak and unattended features? So far when I edit an image and save the ISO image, it seems it is removing the other versions. The end result I want to be able to select the edition of Vista I choose and then it run unattended and apply tweaks subsequently. I don't want to have to make multiple images for each Vista edition. Having the 32-bit and 64-bit disc seperate is fine, but would be a plus if I could combine them as well.

@jase4772 I'm sure there is, but I don't know how. I would imagine it would be in the same realm of what I'm looking to do as well which is install extensions without the initial pop up window. @Marlarky I bumped into that site when I was looking for alternatives after SOF died here. Perhaps I don't understand the site, but it appears they charge $150 for a years access to the packager. I'm looking for a way to package extensions. So far, the batch file I posted above is the best "free" alternative I could find. On the first run after installing with the batch file, it ask to install the packaged extensions. If I use the method you described wouldn't that permanently disable Compatibility check? Did the old SOF use a method like that and I was just unaware of it?

I created a batch file that extracts Firefox 2.0.0.4 and then creates a silent installer with 7zip which can include your bookmarks.html and settings from localstore.rdf, mimeTypes.rdf, and prefs.js. Just download sof2_2007-05-31.zip and extract the contents. Basic instructions in the included readme.txt. I tested this on Vista and Windows XP and everything seemed to work. Would like to get rid of the prompt to install the unsigned extensions, if anyone has any ideas. Edited on 2007-05-31: Updated for 2.0.0.4

Sonic, I read through this thread and I have 303en doing a silent install without rebooting by applying the 'LastStart' entry to the reg. I would like someway to automate the first update which currently requires another reboot to be functional. I'm not concerned about the next reboot, but I would like to automate getting the initial update as it is currently approximately 8MB. My first attempt has been a failure so far. I pulled the Bases directory from C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Kaspersky Lab\AVP6\Bases\ and zipped it up. On a second system with a fresh KAV6 install, I copied the Bases.zip file over and modified the Update Servers. I unchecked the Kaspersky Lab's update servers and added the path to the zipped version of the Bases directory from the other system (see attached image). This works, so I attempted to script my solution by using the following registry entry before running the update: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\KasperskyLab\AVP6\profiles\Updater\settings\Sources\0000] "Enable"=dword:00000001 "Plain"=dword:00000001 "Path"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Administrator\\Desktop\\Bases.zip" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\KasperskyLab\AVP6\profiles\Updater\settings] "UseInternalSources"=dword:00000000 After applying the registry entry above, I use 'avp UPDATE' from the command prompt. This worked too, as it applied all the updates from the zipped file. The problem is getting the registry back to normal afterwards without manual intervention. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\KasperskyLab\AVP6\profiles\Updater\settings\Sources] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\KasperskyLab\AVP6\profiles\Updater\settings] "UseInternalSources"=dword:00000001 Once KAV6 has been installed and updated, attempts to modify the registry return 'access denied'. Any ideas how to get around this and get the system back to normal, or perhaps an entirely different approach?
