Could someone explain please why this @echo off FOR %%d IN (c: 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\$OEM$\$1\detached.cmd SET CDROM=%%d start /wait %CDROM%Software\ATIRARSFX.exe EXIT and not this start /wait %CDROM%\Software\ATIRARSFX.exe

@ trainee I've noticed that the xml created and used for the SiI 3x12 SATA RAID using the full RASOR utility also added the bit after the comma, is that a problem then? <Edit> Also I was wondering if someone could tell me if I can delete the OemDir from %SystemRoot% as part of my cleanup.cmd, or whether it will still be needed. </Edit>

The line you have used there doesn't appear correct, the <full>\<pathto>\ refers to your <driveletter>\<directory>\<subdirectory>\<filename>,(This will be its location at install time, not prior to burning your iso). In your case though, you don't appear to have your extracted files within your $OEM$ structure. How are you installing, directly from CD or from the copied over folder like the majority of unattenders here.

I cannot find this section, I don't know if I'll need it or not, but I have a cpl (control panel extension) in my drivers, so I would guess this wouldn't be in the <textmode> section. What's the bit after the comma for?

We are not confused, we both agree, as my original posting. In the registry there are Root Keys, those are [ HKCR | HKCU | HKLM | HKU | HKCC ] these in full format are HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT HKEY_CURRENT_USER HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE HKEY_USERS HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG There is no, HKEY_USERS.DEFAULT, only the Root Key HKEY_USERS with a Key .DEFAULT, below that are further Subkeys, the keys and subkeys and are separated in a reg file by backslashes. You have missed out a backslash, haven't you......HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT

It does for about 250+ people now.

@ prathapml From your code section in your first post, is the highlighted bit a mistake, should it be HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT and if so is it also the same in the download? ; ------- [ Networking ] ------- ;Max your Internet Explorer's simultaneous downloads to 10 (default was 2) [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings] "MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:0000000a "MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:0000000a [HKEY_USERS.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings] "MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:00000020 "MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:00000020

@ shadol I think you have misunderstood me, I haven't got a problem with your original inf, other than the uninstall comments. I have used this method for a long time now. My comment was regarding the Desktop question, your desktop, shouldn't be full of Data, at the most only shortcuts to other locations etc. therefore you don't need to back it up, cos you will no doubt have to recreate or newly create shortcuts on a new /re-install anyhow.

In theory, it should work, but why would you want to? You shouldn't be keeping data on there anyhow, so why not have it recreated clean on each new install. Just one thing I thought I'd mention though, this inf file will be no good to uninstall. If you were to unistall it, there would be no entries for your User Shell Folders. Either add a section for returning the entries to their defaults, or remove the DefaultUninstall and Reg.Uninstall sections. For the former change the following section to something like [DefaultUninstall] DelReg = Reg.Back DelReg = Reg.Uninstall DelFiles = Inf.Copy Then add a section something like this [Reg.Back] HKCU,%Folder%,Personal,0x00020000,"%USERPROFILE%\My Documents" HKCU,%Folder%,My Pictures,0x00020000,"%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\My Pictures" HKCU,%Folder%,Favorites,0x00020000,"%USERPROFILE%\Favorites" HKCU,%Folder%,My Music,0x00020000,"%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\My Music"

If you got 0x00000000 from your registry, why haven't used it, that's the point I was making. That number came from my posting. Although you can miss out the Data Type if it is a REG_SZ entry, you should at least have included an extra comma e.g. HKCU,"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes","InstallTheme",,"c:\windows\Resources\Themes\royale.theme" If you check your hivedef.inf file, and do a search on C:\, you will probably find only your entries, windows doesn't use them for the reason I stated. Now if you're posting code on a public forum, others may care about having the option of installing on more than one drive with their disk. I'm sorry if additional information upsets you, and I didn't say your code wouldn't work. At least anyone else who was going to try your method may have learned something.

What about using the SET command with the existing Environment Variable %USERNAME%

Click on me

@ SyntaxError Regardless of the fact this is definitely not needed, if you are going to mess with the Hive files, try to keep your code the same as all the others e.g. HKCU,"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes","InstallTheme",0x00000000,"c:\windows\Resources\Themes\royale.theme" Or preferably do it properly, without hardcoding the drive letter into it! HKCU,"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes","InstallTheme",0x00020000,"%SystemRoot%\Resources\Themes\royale.theme"

It was a question, I didn't want answering. I was trying to make a point...... If the title in your thread said that the information was for Slipstreamed XP (service pack 2) versions only, and then included the later edits, none of the confusion would have occurred. Everything in my post below the seperator, says everything yours needed to, and saves having to click a link to go to a download site to choose some options to download a file, which doesn't contain any drivers we can use!

Under [unattended] in winnt.sif ProgramFilesDir="D:\Program Files" CommonProgramFilesDir="D:\Program Files\Common Files"

@ codeblue please remove the attachment too, all it is is a usage tracking list key. It's contents are of no real use to anyone, even you!

Please explain, as already questioned, how those two files, carrying no drivers, manages to install for instance, the IDE driver found only in the VIAHyperion4in1455v\IDEWinXP directory in a non slipstreamed disk, or change the title to SP2 only? =========================== So to recap...... 1. Do not download the VIA 4in1 drivers for your slipstreamed XP sp2 CD Drivers Contents:- VIA AGP Gart Driver - Since Windows XP Service Pack 2 this driver is not needed VIA IDE Bus Mastering Driver - Since Windows XP Service Pack 1 this driver is not needed VIA PCI IRQ Miniport Driver - This driver is not for Windows XP VIA IDE Filter Driver - This driver is not for Windows XP VIA PFD Driver - This is not a driver 2. Download and extract the attachment below to your UA directory 3. Add the line "Drivers\000-Chipset\VIA" or your custom path to the option OEMPnPDriversPath in the winnt.sif file. Don't forget the ";" if you have more entries in this option. 4in1.zip

How about posting your entire winnt.sif file, from the latest attempt, (with password and product key removed) The settings I gave you came directly from using the setup manager and have worked for me on several PCs.

Try these settings, they've always worked for me! Under [unattended] KeyboardLayout="United Kingdom"Under [GuiUnattended] OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=85And finally use this section [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 SystemLocale=00000809 UserLocale=00000809 InputLocale=0809:00000809

You are deleting the folder with the batch in, before it has finished running. Switch them around and make sure that the last command is the one deleting the folder in which your running batch resides.

Some examples for adding the infs etc. to your unattended disk. Either: 1. Put all the extracted files together in $OEM$ Add the following below [Commands] in cmdlines.txt: "rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 .\<whatever>.inf" Or 2. Put all the extracted files together in a folder within your disk structure and either; i. Add the following below [Commands] in cmdlines.txt: "rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 <full>\<pathto>\<whatever>.inf"Or ii. Add the following to one of your batch /cmd files: rundll32.exe setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 "<full>\<pathto>\<whatever>.inf"Or finally, iii. Use something like this in your runoncex.cmd: REG ADD %KEY%\060 /VE /D "Applying inf..." /f REG ADD %KEY%\060 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\system32\rundll32.exe setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 <full>\<pathto>\<whatever>.inf" /f There are many combinations of these, although these should all work.

/EXPIRES:{date | NEVER} date An expiration date is in the form mm/dd/yy(yy). Months can be a number, spelled out, or abbreviated with three letters. Year can be two or four numbers. Use slashes(/) (no spaces) to separate parts of the date. NEVER Sets no time limit on the account.

Yep, get shot!

Zoom Player WMV Pro with all shown associations. I use the zip version, so I'm only guessing the default install location, if it's not correct do a search & replace on it first. Attached due to size! <Edit> File reloaded due to error, for anyone who has the previous one, the end of the command strings said \"%L\" instead of \"%%L\" </Edit> ZPassoc.txt
