hi, the power consumption of the A64 is not so dramatically high as the new P4-prescot. From the applicatiuon side this isn't easy to say, because it highly depends on the apps you use. You need to test your favorite apps to see if it runs faster. And ofcourse A64-Systems are cheaper than a P4-system with the same performance. hope this helps a bit cya Killer Bee

hi, xplode.voidfx.com is up and working, please download it there. hope this helps a bit cya Killer Bee

hi, just try %USERPROFILE% or %ALLUSERSPROFILE% for cleaning up after installation, i had similar problems when using %SYSTEMDRIVE% and full paths. hope this helps a bit cya Killer Bee

hi, have you read this one? hope this helps a bit cya Killer Bee

hi, it a WiSE-Installer - use /s for a silent installation. If this one works like the older versions than you need to pskill dap.exe after installation. hope this helps a bit cya Killer Bee

hi, so please tell us which problems you still have, otherwise it would be hard to help. cya Killer Bee

hi, a complete rewrite isn't needed if a few things we really need (like conditional statements and variable-parsing for registry-sections) are applied in a future V1-version. For parsing variables old way: <registry display='changing Temp-Variables...' method='write'> [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment] "TEMP"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,59,00,53,00,54,00,45,00,4d,00,44,00,52,00,49,00,56,\ 00,45,00,25,00,5c,00,54,00,65,00,6d,00,70,00,00,00 "TMP"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,59,00,53,00,54,00,45,00,4d,00,44,00,52,00,49,00,56,00,\ 45,00,25,00,5c,00,54,00,65,00,6d,00,70,00,00,00 </registry> My idea of a possibility: <registry display='changing Temp-Variables...' method='write' parse='true'> [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment] "TEMP"=(hex(2)),#SYSTEMDRIVE#\Temp "TMP"=(hex(2)),#SYSTEMDRIVE#\Temp </registry> hope this helps a bit cya Killer Bee

hi, yeah, would be nice. After thinking for a few mins it would be perfect for the cleanup-section of my installation. I see a use for moving, copying and deleting files, shortcuts and folders for example... hope this helps a bit cya Killer Bee

hi, nice find Radimus, thx for that cya Killer Bee

hi, i've ported nearly everything i need in an unattended installation to XPlode. I do not call any other program from windows-setup than XPlode, that does nearly everything for me. If it could parse variables in reg-entires it would be perfect. Like using #SYSTEMDRIVE#\Temp in a special section that would get parsed before merging to the registry. If you could implement that in a future version would make this app perfect for any use while a unattended installation. Even a updated v1-version of xplode would be far more than ok for us. I have much more registry-keys in my xml's that i want to have drive-indipendant, like many game- or program-registry keys that atm. only apply correctly when it gets installed to C:\ BTW: I don't call scripts, batches or other "helper-stuff" out of XPlode, i ONLY use XPlode to make it all work perfectly. I even call XPlode in svcpack.inf to install the hotfixes for me... hope this helps a bit cya Killer Bee Maybe i should post some of the more uncommon ways i use XPlode...

hi, it should be pskill but else it's looking good hope this helps a bit cya Killer Bee

hi, this is my login-part: <item display='Users and Autologon'> <adduser username='Bee' password='blabla' groups='Administrators'/> <registry display='adding AutoLogon to Registry...' method='write'> [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "DefaultUserName"="Bee" "DefaultPassword"="blabla" "AutoAdminLogon"="1" </registry> <execute display='Turning off password expiration' program='net.exe' arguments='accounts /maxpwage:unlimited'></execute> </item> hope this helps a bit cya Killer Bee

hi, i think it isn't splywareblastersetup.exe, it is spywareblaster.exe showing up after installation. It must be a different filename than spywareblastersetup.exe, because the setup-executable has to end in a unattended install. I am not at home atm so i can't look. Run the setup manually and look in the taskmanager for the name of the exe who causes the windows to appear and pskill it. hope this helps a bit cya Killer Bee

hi, install it without any updates and use the MS Baseline Security Analyzer and see what you really need. I personally use all updates found for XP Pro and it works flawlessly. Look over here to see it in action. hope this helps a bit cya Killer Bee

hi, sounds like a great app. If it get's a option to only use freeware would be great... cya Killer Bee

hi, the $OEM$-Folder structure gets copied during textmode-setup. $OEM$\$Progs will do the trick for you. hope this helps a bit cya Killer Bee

hi, file-copying errors during textmode-setup are very often caused by a hardware defect or a misconfiguration of your machine. Check your memory, CPU and Masstorage and try again. hope this helps a bit cya Killer Bee

hi, nice one, thank you cya Killer Bee

hi, please search for "Universal Silent Switch Finder" here on the forums, it will give you a hint which installer it uses and look in the unattended guide for switches to the application. Really nasty Installers will surrender if you repackage it with InstallRite. hope this helps a bit cya Killer Bee

hi, have you tried the "Universal Silent Switch Finder" found here on the forums? I think it uses a InstallShield-Installer but USSF will help you identify the installer. Please feel free to search for USSF here on the forums. hope this helps a bit cya Killer Bee

hi, the simplest method of calling XPlode from CD is to put the .exe and the plugins to $OEM$\$$\system32 so it's in the path and you can call it to execute the .xml and apps/hotfixes/whatever from CD. When you call XPlode it generates #Sourcedrive# which can than be used to specify the path to the xml on the CD. hope this helps a bit cya Killer Bee

hi, nice work, keep it on cya Killer Bee

hi, please feel free to use the search function, as this has been answered perfectly in a older topic, maybe even older than 30days... hope this helps a bit cya Killer Bee

hi, in my opinion it is woth all the time you spend. Or how long are you sitting in front of your computer reinstalling all applications you need and setting them up so they work the way you like? I' ll always need 3-4h reinstalling my OS attended, so doing it unattended in 40min is it really worth... cya Killer Bee

hi, for your first problem: specify your path in your copy-command copy c:\install\*.dll \%ProgramFiles%\nero... hope this helps a bit cya Killer Bee
