hi, there is no command.com in WinXP you should try cmd.exe instead. hope this helps a bit cya Killer Bee

hi, u can't test drivers in a VM - to test drivers u need to do it on a real machine with the hardware in it. We can help here with any application or other settings in XPlode... cya Killer Bee

hi, the included example.xml looks wierd - is this normal? and if so with which editor can i edit it? cya Killer Bee

hi, please provide us with more info 1. post ur winnt.sif (remove Product key and passwords) 2. post ur cmdlines.txt 3. post everything that is called from cmdlines cya Killer Bee

hi, just ran a successful test: create a setup.txt inside OOo-folder with: [Environment]InstallationMode=INSTALL_NORMALDestinationPath=C:\Program Files\OpenOfficev1.1.1EndProcedure=PostSetup [Java]JavaSupport=preinstalled_or_none [Windows_Desktop_Integration]Register4MSWord=TrueRegister4MSExcel=TrueRegister4MSPowerPoint=TrueRegisterAsDefaultHTMLEditor=False [Procedures]Sub PostSetupSetReboot( False )End Subin it. then call setup.exe -r:path\to\ooo\setup.txt -debugworks like a charm for me at least hope this helps a bit cya Killer Bee

hi, and it's covered here. cya Killer Bee

hi, is it possible to install this unattended and apply a custom bootskin unattended? i think this would be much nicer than a edited kernel copy. thx in advance cya Killer Bee

hi, even better is this line msiexec /x %systemroot%\webfldrs.msi /qncut'n'paste as you like cya Killer Bee

hi, please provide us a little more info like what type of installer it uses. Maybe this will help u a little bit identifying the installer. cya Killer Bee

hi, if u use XPlode to Install ur apps and hotfixes it doesn't matter where the source-files are. It only matters from where u are calling XPlode. With the use of the #XPLODE#-Variable it's possible to install to install from everywhere - just start XPlode from there. For example: u have a Dir called Install which is in $OEM$\$1 atm. Put XPlode in it and put all apps in this folder or subfolder in Install. In XPlode call any app with #XPlode#\blabla.exe -switches. Now it's totally easy to put that folder in the root-dir on the CD/DVD and call XPlode from there - u don't have to change any paths and it runs from CD and Installs from there. hope this helps a bit cya Killer Bee

@alanoll, thank you very much. hmmm... it's path-dependant - now i only need to find that commandline tool that replaces variables with the path names to keep it drive-indipendant cya Killer Bee

@alanoll, perfect, exactly what i'm looking for thanks now there's only one left: Changing default Mailer/Browser unattended (Firefox and Thunderbird) thx in advance cya Killer Bee

hi, execute ur installer in unattended mode in a already installed windows, there u can taskmanager the file name of the app that produces the window. After that u can do a taskkill blablabla.exe in WinXP Pro only or if u downloaded PSUtils from Winternals.com then do a pskill blablabla.exeright after ur unattended setup in ur batch-file. hope this helps a bit cya Killer Bee

hi, after months of work in my UXPCD works almost perfect. Everything i want is installed and has shortcuts where i want them. Cleaning up is also successful. Only one thing remains and is split in two sections: 1. Set another Browser/Mail (Pinned in Start Menu) as Standard 2. Setting up Standard Apps for other formats (Like .avi to open with ViPlay as Standard Player. Pointing me to the right Key is the only thing i need.) Any help would be appreciated cya Killer Bee

hi, shortcut.exe works like a charm if i knew of that before... cya Killer Bee

hi, in my opinion it's the easiest and most professional looking way to use XPlode to install hotfixes and applications, import .reg's and doing File operations. XPlode can be found here on the Forums. U Can call XPlode from svcpack.inf, @T-12, T-9min via RunOnceEx or from autorun on a update CD... And u get a professional looking Gui with it for free hope this helps a bit cya Killer Bee

hi, then do a regshot before u fill in that info and after it. After exporting all the neccesary changes in the registry u can reimport them after silent installation. This should work if u have to fill in those values at first start off the app. Otherwise u need do a silent install on a live XP where it was never installed before. hope this helps a bit cya Killer Bee

hi, maybe the info gathered here will help u. At least for me it solved all remaining issues i had with InstallShield. cya Killer Bee

hi, why don't u use VMWare for the tests? It'll save u a LOT of cd's... hope this helps a bit cya Killer Bee

hi, i think it's 817778 aka Advanced Networking Pack cya Killer Bee

hi, maybe u missed the OemSkipWelcome=1in winnt.sif?? cya Killer Bee

hi, i know i can do this via a vbscript after login, but it would be nicer if they'd never appear there. If some1 knows which .inf to edit that they'll never appear there, please share ur knowledge with us. thx in advance cya Killer Bee

hi, please keep in mind that u cannot change all Quicklaunch Icons during GUI-Mode Installation as a few of them are created when a new user logs in at the first time. (These are Internet Explorer and the Media Player icon in quicklaunch) This is very annoying and i haven't found a solution yet. Any help would be appreciated. hope this helps a bit cya Killer Bee

hi, the next thing to do is to migrate to XPlode to install hotfixes and apps, which looks way more professional than anything else i tried. U can find XPlode here on the forums - give it a try cya Killer Bee

hi, have u tried Setup.exe /r /sms /f1"c:\Setup.iss" /f2"c:\ISLog.txt"with ur installer?? cya Killer Bee
