  1. As IT consultant, I'm always travelling from a customer to other. I'm used to carry a nice 2.5 HD firewire and USB external drive with all my programs I need to do the job. WPI is very nice, but I often got problem: wrong drive letter. I solved this by a simple modification to make it simpler: I added the file WPI.ICO at the root of my drive. And I modified function findcdrom() function FindCDRom() { position="generate.js"; whatfunc="FindCDRom()"; var a, i, li; if (foundCDdrv) return cddrv; li = GetCDRomDriveLetters(); for(i=0; i<li.length; i++) { if (FileExists(li[i]+'\\WPI.ICO')) cddrv = li[i]; } foundCDdrv = true; return cddrv; } What it does: when the function getcdrom is called, it will scan all available drives to find a file named WPI.ICO. When the file WPI.ICO is found, it assigns the drive letter to value cddrv . Of course, WPI scripts AND files to install must be in the same drive. Hope it will help someone too lazy to edit the file? Get the attachment !!!! generate.js
  2. Extract with winrar the program you have downloaded (MSN 7.5) there will be 2 programs: bootstrap.exe and msnmsgs.msi my script is: %cdrom%\apps\messenger\MsnMsgs.msi /quiet /qr /norestart so the command is : MsnMsgs.msi /quiet /qr /norestart
  3. unattended install of americas Army: step1 : Unpack with winrar to a folder step 2: type MSIEXEC.EXE /I "path where is the installer\AmericasArmy.msi" ALLUSERS=1 /qn If you wish to use runonceex, the script is: REG ADD %KEY%\130 /VE /D "Americas Army" /f REG ADD %KEY%\130 /V 1 /D "MSIEXEC.EXE /I %cdrom%\softwares\AmericasArmy\AmericasArmy.msi ALLUSERS=1 /qn" /f Of course, change the path I used in my unattended install of Xp with a bunch of apps. Have Fun !
  4. Got It! You absolutely need to type EXACTLY the keyboard layout from file txtsetup.sif look for this section: ["Keyboard Layout"] (near the bottomn of the file) Under this section, you will find the exact name of the desired keyboard layout example: I use a french version of XP, living in Canada, so I need the "french canadian multilingual" (as told in technet) BUT it does not exists. In fact, the name of the keyboard layout was translated, so I found "Français - Canada, Multilingue" So I put in the unattended section of winnt.sif this: KeyboardLayout="Français - Canada, Multilingue" . That's it! Sometimes, the keyboard layout may be written with "garbage" in the file (I found "Fran‡ais" instead or 'Français"). So I simply renamed it to match what I wrote in winnt.sif.
