I do apologise, I just couldn't resist.... Mods you may delete as and when...

Yes they are very different, although mine has no version number, it is from a clean slipstreamed sp2 install. This basically suggests to me that using the add/remove Windows components is your simplest uninstall method after all.

this would copy a folder called favourites into a folder called \Documents And Settings\Administrator\Favourites (it should of course say Favorites, spelled correctly), so you would end up with \Documents And Settings\Administrator\Favorites\favourites. I dont think this was intended was it?

look again at msnmsn.inf [msnexplr.Uninstall] DelReg = Install.DelReg DelFiles = DelFiles.Base,DelFiles.Components,DelFiles.OOBE UnregisterDlls = OOBE.UnregisterDlls [DelFiles.Base] cinfo.xml,,,1 msnsusii.exe,,,1 msnms.ico,,,1 xfp.xml,,,1 [DelFiles.Components] Msncli.exe,,,1 Digcore.exe,,,1 digopt.msi,,,1 digreqEx.msi,,,1 msnmsgs.msi,,,1 [DelFiles.OOBE] market.mar,,,1 obelog.dll,,,1 obemetal.dll,,,1 obemtllc.dll,,,1 obepopc.dll,,,1 signup.mar,,,1 [OOBE.UnregisterDlls] 16422,%DEFAULT_FOLDER%\%COREFILES_FOLDER%\%OOBE_FOLDER%,obemetal.dll,1 Basically sayying that the command given is correct, and when issued removes the items in the three referenced sections, and unregisters the referenced dll. You will of course need to check that the version of MSN you are trying to uninstall is in fact an added optional component and not a downloaded and seperately installed package.

well ,without really knowing what you are trying to achieve, a look at the reg file would help confirm it, but the values you are using are of type REG_SZ and should therefore use 0x00000000 not 0x00020000.

will this method though not be the same as prathapml's, but without the preferences etc already configured. i.e. put the files in the correct place and need registry entries to get it to run properly.

The link I gave prior to you mentioning bat2exe was a direct link to the ftp server carrying it, and was simply ignored, but I enjoyed helping anyhow.

No the difference between the 128 and 132 is usually small in most cases, but was important in the case as used in the thread you mentioned. Both modes 128 and 132 are there to request that the computer informs you first if it feels it needs to reboot, due to the inf installation. The 128 however is used when the inf is in the same location as the file calling it. As it is recommended that the full path to the inf is given in the rundll... command a 132 would be fine in all these cases. RyanVM was trying to install from the C: drive in the specific case you mention, since the inf location was not the same as the location from where the command originated a 132 was necessary. If you understand all that garbage it basically means that keeping the inf in the same folder as the batch or cmdlines.txt calling it, you can use a non full path such as .\mozilla.inf and mode 128, if you wanna be safe use Drive:\path\mozilla.inf with a 132 mode. (of course in some batches etc. environment variables may help in the full path). As to the other question yes the additional commands provided in the original link should possibly have been mentioned.

Look here!REG ADD %KEY%\037 /V 1 /D "\"%cdrom%\install\Journal_Viewer\Microsoft Windows Journal Viewer.msi\" /QB" /f

It really has nothing to do with unattended windows though and would probably attract a more suitable audience in either the Windows XP or Programming (C++, Delphi, VB, etc.) forums.

Have a look here

No!

Oh and heres the Opera one Opera.inf

Okay.....added as requested mozilla.inf

Would it not just be simpler to use your unattended CD but change the winnt.sif with your friends product key and user info, and stick it on a floppy. The install will then use that one instead of the one on the CD and apply their specific settings instead of yours.

Where, when and how are you changing the user name to say 'Adiel'?, are you changing it from another name or are you creating it as a new user? without this information, I fear your going to continue getting similar replies!

I know most of you already have one somewhere in your collection, but here goes anyhow for those who aint. This is an inf for setting XP SP2 Service Configurations, to Black Vipers (http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm) current 'SAFE' guidelines. For an unattended install use the following under [Commands]in your cmdlines.txt and put the inf in the same folder as cmdlines.txt Home edition: "rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 .\services.inf" Professional: "rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection ProInstall 128 .\services.inf"I have left comments in if you need to change /remove any you desire, please read his pages first though. The file is also uninstallable, if the desired results are not as expected, the uninstall will turn all services changed by it back to Windows SP2 defaults. To uninstall go to add/remove programs and select 'SAFE service config'. To uninstall you should be logged in with Administrator privileges. The file does not contain all Windows XP SP2 services, just those where the 'SAFE' install differs from the defaults. PS The only change from BV's page is that he has mistakenly suggested that Telnet service is not disabled by default, which it is and therefore not included in the file. Hope it helps someone. services.inf

So it was just the unbalanced quotation marks then.. Out of curiosity, why the DX9 and IE6, have you not slipstreamed either of the service packs?

Which quotes?

You seem to have quotation marks everywhere for no reason, and unbalanced... Try something like this, bear in mind, I have never seen installs for IE6 etc. so I'm assuming this is for Win2000. The rule of thumb should be to use the quotation marks to keep sections with spaces in together, seeing as most of yours do not have spaces in them, you don't need em. I've left some in simply because I don't know the commands, but at least they appear to balance up. @ECHO OFF TITLE Post Install Setup ECHO. ECHO Starting installation of Applications ECHO. ECHO Starting DirectX 9 Install... start /wait .\DIRECTX\DX90_REDIST.EXE /Q ECHO. ECHO Importing Registry Files... start /wait REGEDIT /S .\REG_FILES\time.reg ECHO.

You could try this rundll32.exe setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 "%ProgramFiles%\any\any.inf"The main bit being the 132 instead of 128

but.. shouldn't your users be 'Limited'

What about stuff like this then? Also in registry, due to install of Real Alternative 1.2.9.0, does it also need adding here or will it be created automatically on first run /use: [DefaultInstall] AddReg=Real.AddReg [Real.AddReg] HKLM,%nppl%,Path,0,"%16422%\Real Alternative\Browser\Plugins\nppl3260.dll" HKLM,%nppl%,Product,0,RealPlayer HKLM,%nppl%,Version,0,%npplver% HKLM,%nppl%,Description,0,"RealMedia Plugin" HKLM,%nppl%,Vendor,0,RealNetworks HKLM,%nppl%,XPTPath,0,"%16422%\Real Alternative\browser\components\nppl3260.xpt" HKLM,%nppl%\MimeTypes\audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin,Suffixes,0,rpm HKLM,%nppl%\MimeTypes\audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin,Description,0,"RealPlayer(tm) as Plugin (*.rpm)" HKLM,%nppl%\Suffixes,rpm,0,"" HKLM,%nprpj%,Path,0,"%16422%\Real Alternative\Browser\Plugins\nprpjplug.dll" HKLM,%nprpj%,Product,0,RealPlayer HKLM,%nprpj%,Version,0,%nprpjver% HKLM,%nprpj%,Description,0,%nprpjver% HKLM,%nprpj%,Vendor,0,RealNetworks HKLM,%nprpj%\MimeTypes\application/vnd.rn-realplayer-javascript,Suffixes,0,rpj HKLM,%nprpj%\MimeTypes\application/vnd.rn-realplayer-javascript,Description,0,"RealPlayer Version Plugin(*.rpj)" HKLM,%nprpj%\Suffixes,rpj,0,"" HKLM,%nsJSver%,XPTPath,0,"%16422%\Real Alternative\browser\components\nsJSRealPlayerPlugin.xpt" [Strings] npplver="6.0.11.2027" nprpjver="6.0.12.1040" nppl="SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins\@real.com/nppl3260;version=6.0.11.2027" nprpj="SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins\@real.com/nprpjplug;version=6.0.12.1040" nsJSver="SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins\@real.com/nsJSRealPlayerPlugin;version="

@ RyanVM I know, and it only took 73 seconds...! Yours is much better though, even though I get sick of seeing all those 0s REG_SZ = 0x00000 or 0x00 or 0 would work REG_DWORD = 0x10001 is smaller too

As a straight conversion, probably something like this would do, but, as the man says, it would be better in individual sections! *EDIT*This code has been removed, due to better and more up to date stuff later on in the thread
