well i seem to have stumbled on it myself...

".\XPLode.exe /xml:#Systemdrive#\Postinstall\XPlode\XPlode.xml /log:#Systemdrive#\XPlode.log" that means that the XPLode.exe plus everything but the XPLode.xml is in the $OEM$ folder. the xml is in a sub directory. I made a directory in the root of my cd with XPLode in it and call it up from cmdlines.txt. [COMMANDS] "konten.cmd" "RunOnceEx.cmd" The RunOnceEX looks like this cmdow @ /HID @echo off FOR %%d IN (D: E: F: G: H: I: J: K: L: M: N: O: P: Q: R: S: T: U: V: W: X: Y: Z:) DO IF EXIST %%d\CD.TXT SET CDROM=%%d SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Preparing Installation..." /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\install\xplode\xplode.exe /log:%SYSTEMDRIVE%\xplode.log" /f EXIT the directory structure is as follows..

How can i set a TCP/IP address to a specific MAC address in the winnt.sif.

check out this thread, it might not be what you want but it will stop before installing software/apps and ask you what you want to install. you just tick off what you want and then press install and away it goes. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=11061

otherwise copy my code and insert it into your winnt.sif so that all the setting are as mine are, my CD works fine.

Hi Jaf, I think that is what is supposed to happen, it installs only after another restart. your best bet is to take the GuiRunOnce line out of your winnt.sif and add it to your cmdlines.txt in the $OEM$ folder. best is to put the Netpc.cmd in the $OEM$ folder too. call it up like this cmdlines.txt [COMMANDS] "users.cmd" "Netpc.cmd"

where do i find the blue boot screen that is shown just before the desktop comes up. It is the blue screen with thick dark blue borders at top and bottom. It say it is laoding user settings.

The first few lines of my XP winnt.sif are as follows.. ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" AutomaticUpdates=yes [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=yes UnattendSwitch="yes" TargetPath=\WINDOWS FileSystem=* WaitForReboot="No" DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore notice the difference in the [DATA]UnattendedInstall & MsDosInitiated entry and [unattended] UnattendSwitch & WaitForReboot, you have no " plus your TargetPath has no backslash. my autopartition is 0 because i pick the partition myself. I dont have a winnt.bat file and mine works fine So far i have gathered that these two sections are the most important section in the winnt.sif. without these correct the unattended install would not even start.

I made my full screen at a resultion of 640x480, so this is how to do it in this mode. I have 3 pictures at resolutions of 639x33x16Million for head.png 639x425x16Million for main.png 639x25x16Million for foot.png the setting for this in the XPLode.xml are in the config section as follows <show total='22' after='21' subcount='true' />to get a full screen list of software to install. The next is to set the position and height of the screen <window width='639' position='0' fixmain='7' /> The window mode I used is standalone <windowmode mode='standalone' /> and last is the callup for the pictures <colours> <header back='#003399' fore='#FFFFFFAA' image='%XPLODE%\images\head.png' /> <footer back='#003399' fore='#FFFFFFAA' image='%XPLODE%\images\foot.png' /> <progress border='#FFFFFFAA' back='#00000000' fore='#FFFFFFAA' fore2='#00000033' /> <main back='#4A6FD6' fore='#FFFFFFAA' current='#FF8000' description='#FFFFFF' image='%XPLODE%\images\main.png' overlay='#FFFFFF22' /> </colours> Results are posted above. Of course if you want a higher resolution then these setting have to be adjusted.

i will write one on the weekend

or just repack the inno setup.exe there are guides on how to do this, works fine with UltraIso 7.2.3.906

The guy tought you were talking about paint shop pro instead of photoshop. That was me, sorry It does help if you can read I did mean Paint Shop Pro. Sorry

why not just call up the msi? I do and have no problems with it REG ADD %KEY%\045 /VE /D "Paintshop Pro 7" /f REG ADD %KEY%\045 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Install\Paintshop\PaintShopPro7.msi /qn" /f

@Gatekeeper mail is on its way was the last version online V1.1.2

try [COMMANDS] ":#Systemdrive#\Install\Xplode\xplode.exe /xml:#Systemdrive#\Install\Xplode\Xplode.xml"

cheers for that it worked now made a note of all three. Thanks both of you

Hi Thanks but the first one did not work that would be the best one for me... deleting the complete -site1 key

I meant change the directory names so that there are no more gaps between them to match the setup.cmd that i wrote. the Adaware i changed to read 'Adaware6180.exe' and not 'Adaware 6180.exe' You need to change that too....

Hi commands that have blank spaces between them for example start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Office[color=red] [/color]XP\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb- between Office and XP, should be between " so ist should read start /wait "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Office XP\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-" better is to get rid of all spaces ===================================================== cls @echo off TITLE Automatische installatie van Windows XP Servicepak 2 en alle favoriete toepassingen ECHO.

How can I delete a complete string in the registry? For example if I want to delete the '-site0' and all the keys under it. and yes I have searched but found nothing.

Hi here is the link for the forum XPlode and for the homepage Xplode Homepage

What you want is a program that will install apps silently on a computer already installed with an OS such as Windows XP. If so I think this is something you should look at. It does just that for me. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=11061 all the settings are in a ini file which is read in by the exe.

Or use the XPlode method, I have this going on mine and the list scrolls....

So did you find out exactly what was wrong? still glad its going ok now

This is mine and the first thing that comes to my mind is the OEMPreinstall. I am sure it should be set to YES The second is the UnattendSwitxh="yes" it is not in your file. might be worth copying mine and use it with changed user data. this one does work. ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" AutomaticUpdates=yes [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=yes UnattendSwitch="yes" TargetPath=\WINDOWS FileSystem=* WaitForReboot="No" DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore OemPnPDriversPath="drivers\002GRAPHICS" [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword="xxx" EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=105 OemSkipWelcome=1 [UserData] ProductKey=xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx FullName="B.
