I knew what it does... I have read the documentation. as Shark007 explains my question is; (sorry if unprecise) at what point of installation does it connect to WU to check for updates, and how are they installed? (any GUI?/what updates are downloaded? hotfixes/critical updates etc..). -Seems though that it only applies when you run setup from Windows.

What did not work? The MU integration or skipping the initial screen? Make sure you followed my procedure to get a "clean" copy of DataStore.edb. Also I personally register wups2.dll and muweb.dll from cleanup.cmd and not CMDLINES.txt. Don't know if it makes a difference...

What exactly does this entry do? Anyone using it? Did I understand correctly that if it is set to "No", during setup the installation will automaticly try connect to WU and silently download and install any available hotfixes? When and how is this done?

Uh it works... DivXPlay.exe v6.0.3 DivXPlay.exe /S

I didn not set any regtweaks for that... hmmm What I do have though is [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center] "UpdatesDisableNotify"=dword:00000001 but this shouldnt disable autoupdate feature. What's the reg tweak to ENABLE it?

How can it be turned on as default? I have AutomaticUpdates set to =YES in winnt.sif, but its still off after installation

ahh right, okey thnx

You can set alot through registry entries. First do a search for QuickLaunch, there are several posts on how to default actiavate QuickLaunch (regkey), then you can ofc place whatever shortcuts you want here. Download regshot and follow the registry changes as you modify the rest of your taskbar settings.

Removed both and now it works perfect -no annoying halts or messages...

I have now done 3 successfull VMware full format/install tests of my UADVD and I got IE Tools>Windows Update to default to Microsoft Update AND skip the initial MU screen, where you have to click Yes... etc. How I did it? 1. If you have previously installed and ran MU on your local OS: Boot your computer in SAFE MODEand DELETE DataStore.edb in %WinDir%\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore 2. Reboot computer to "normal mode" and run Microsoft Update (You should get the initial welcome to MU screen) follow the steps where you have to click start etc... 3. Again reboot to SAFE MODE and COPY DataStore.edb to desktop or wherever. 4. Boot to normal mode and place the copy you just made of DataStore.edb on your UA CD/DVD in $OEM$\$$\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore Ofcourse you will have to have MU properly installed and service registered during your UA installation process. Why all the reboots and safemode? Simply to get a "fresh" version of DataStore.edb (Should have a filesize of about 1032kb) that is not locked or used by any process. This seems to work flawless for me.

Remove those two entries from ini and install order does not matter?

Did some research and found that Nero 7.0.1.2 is placing this image "UserImages.bmp" in "My documents" after EACH %#&%¤ run. UserImages.bmp UserImages.bmp file is generated by NERO.EXE itself. It looks like BCGCBPRO730.DLL makes reference to this .bmp file. The BCGCBPRO730.DLL is produced by BCG Soft Ltd. BCG Soft Ltd. market Control bars : http://www.bcgsoft.com/ On their WEB site, BCG Soft indicates Nero AG is among their client. Now, what they want to do with this file remains a mystery. This is EXTREMLY annoying, and if anyone can come up with a smart solution for preventing this. PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

That's a solution yes. Does'nt really fix the problem, but makes setup not halt

Can you post an image of the "Blue X", what exactly is this?

During setup of klcodec261f.exe I get the following error (see image), resulting in setup halt. klcodec261f.exe is installed with the following ini file (components): [Setup] Lang=en Group=K-Lite Codec Pack NoIcons=1 Components=ffdshow,ffdshow\plugins,ffdshow\vfw,video\xvid,video\3ivx,video\vp6,video\vp7,videovfw\xvid,videovfw\3ivx,videovfw\wmv9vcm,videovfw\vp3,videovfw\vp6,videovfw\vp7,videovfw\indeo\5,videovfw\indeo\4,videovfw\indeo\32,videovfw\i263,videovfw\huffyuv,videovfw\msmpeg4,videovfw\divxmpeg4,audio\mp3,audio\ac3\101a,audio\ac3\boostvolume,audio\vorbis,audio\aac\3ivx,audio\musepack,audio\ape,audio\wavpack,audio\flac,audio\voxware,audio\3ivxenc,audioacm\mp3fhg,audioacm\mp3lame,audioacm\ac3acm,audioacm\divxwma,sourcefilter\mp4,sourcefilter\ogg\oggds,sourcefilter\matroska\haali,sourcefilter\mpeg2\ec,sourcefilter\shoutcast,sourcefilter\matroskamuxer,subtitles\vsfilter\236,compat\g400,compat\divxaf,compat\ivideo,compat\directshow,compat\brokencodecs,compat\brokenfilters Any idea how to resolve this issue?

Here are parts of my cleanup relevant to what your asking. This is from my start.cmd that runs WPI and cleans up after install (basicly controls the whole UA process before and after WPI). @echo off SetLocal enableextensions CLS : Deleting TEMP files. for /d %%g in ("%temp%\*") do rd /s /q "%%g" for %%g in ("%temp%\*") do del /q "%%g" for /d %%g in ("%windir%\Downloaded Installations\*") do rd /s /q "%%g" for %%g in ("%windir%\Downloaded Installations\*") do del /q "%%g" del /q "%Windir%\system32\$winnt$.inf" rd /s /q "%SystemDrive%\Install" rd /s /q "%SystemDrive%\Drivere" : Reboot. shutdown.exe -r -f -t 60 -c "Vennligst vent..." : Delete the current running file (start.cmd). del /q "%~f0" EndLocal exit :eof works every time, clean and simple (I make sure that Start.cmd is copied to %SystemDrive%\ and not the %SystemDrive%\Install dir, therefore I can first remove ..:\install etc. and then reboot for lastly in the cmd to delete itself (start.cmd).)

I just found some idiotic "flaw" (?) when i tested UADVD on a VM format. I had unpacked Nero 7 Demo (7.0.1.2) from web exe using WinRAR and created an AutoIt installer. But at install it was missing some .cab files in cab directory of Nero 7. I noticed that when you just unpack the webdemo the dir is 320mb run setup once and isntall nero and the same dir is 350mb So before you BURN the CD/DVD make sure you have RUN the installer once so ALL the cabs are precent! (Obviously these cabs cannot get unpacked when its on CD)

That is excellent news, good work! SolidasRock: That is XPIZE alright theres some dlls you must not install. PM XPero and he might send you a special edition that works with PDVD6. I have it and it works great PS: Watch out for K-Lite codec pack. That might also cause problems crashing PowerDVD6.

Could I somehow prevent MS outlook 2003 from making a shortcut in Quick Launch at first program run? -Some kind of reg key?

uhm a bit offtopic, sorry! but is there a way to set 0 devices and no autostart after installing d-tools?

So this file can be deleted safely at end of GuiRunOnce/cleanup/WPI or whatever?

bump

Also if you check out Microsoft Update If you have only 2.0 installed, v1.1 will show up and vise versa, so install both.

Yeh, don' include the _1131499399 part of your regfile [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ahead\Installation\Families\Nero 7\Info] "Serial7_1131499399"="*xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

I believe the installer is multilingual. Might be wrong though...
