set default theme through batch
Yzöwl replied to pspcracka's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
Okay as you know the path and we don't, how about you write yourself the batch file or keep searching! -
New Regshot alike tool out with added capabilities.

First of all there's no need to be rude just because you are incapable of reading in that language.Try using the lower left, (as suggested), Загрузить button -
set default theme through batch
Yzöwl replied to pspcracka's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
Supplying what you've got in your winnt.sif, in relevant code tags, and the structure of your installation media, i.e. where and how you get your theme to its respective location, will probably help us to first check for errors before suggesting alternatives. Even with a new method we'd still need to know the name/path/location of your theme and your intended method of creation/deployment. -
@ neumannu47 - You may find it easier to locate now that this topic has been moved to the unattended Forum!

Set a different drive for apps directory in RunOncEx
Yzöwl replied to t2contra's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
From the code you've provided I'd say you should try this: @Cmdow @ /HID || @Echo Off Setlocal (Set AP=F:\WINXPHOME\$OEM$\$1) & (Set AD=\Install\Apps\) (Set KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx) If Exist %AP%%AD%RunOncEx2.cmd (Set PP=%AP%%AD%) Else (Set PP=%SystemDrive%%AD%) -
New Regshot alike tool out with added capabilities.
Yzöwl replied to Martin H's topic in Software Hangout
Yes, I've had it for a short time now and it's looking good. Just one other thing, you don't need to run it and change the drop-down box, just open the regshot.ini file and change the second line Language= to any one of English Français Deutsch -
If I may just come with a little suggestion here, the HFSLIP project has its own MSFN Forum here, I'd prefer it to be linked as opposed to the external site.Now for the fun bits, I'd like you to explain how you think that using svcpack.inf is inefficient. I'd like you to create a HFSLIP tree propagate the folders with the relevant hotfixes, run the script, create the disk and install it. Now just do a simple svcpack.inf place your files in the svcpack directory create the disk and install. I'm sure the installation of the latter method will be a lot longer, but the HFSLIP routine itself already adds 20ish minutes to the creation process. Incidentally I've recently performed a Win2k install, I added the SP, IE, WMP and all the updates from WU and it probably didn't make any noticeable time difference in creating an unttended/integrated disk in the first place.

Changing Logon & Welcome Screen
Yzöwl replied to wrangler's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
Try this link to go directly to a section of the guide which deals with this type of customisation. Alternatively we have a dedicated area of these forums for exactly that. Reading the guide and searching the forums should be your first step before posting a request such as this! -
For the purpose you require them, editing the hives in this way is a difficult method of managing your installs corrupting the hive would be disasterous. You'd be better off importing your information through a single inf file.

Is this some sort of joke? You've already asked this, it was answered, partly at least, a few hours ago and is the previous post to this one. For this you have earned a warning, please try to act a little more responsibly in future! Posts Merged

The first line, the reason for which I have no idea, is nevertheless incomplete; it should read: either HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run",,0,"12" or HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run",,0x00010001,0x00000012 or many other combinations of! The second line should look a little more like: HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run","Yod'm 3D",0,"""%10%\%Y3D%\Yodm3D.exe"" /HIDE" You would also need to ensure that a line looking something like Y3D = yodm3D exists under the [Strings] section

I don't wish to sound like I'm picking on you here, but I'd like to make a few observations. You've posted a second request in two days for help with programming/automating a process. It was posted again in the wrong part of our forums. The previous request wasn't explained correctly and resulted in me creating a non-required script. You then ignored my further attempt at rectifying the misunderstanding caused by your inability to clearly state your goals. The choices you make as to which solution/route you take are of course entirely up to you, however not acknowledging peoples attempts at helping you is not in your interests. The main concern for me here is that the requests are not for personal use but for business use. There are people educated/trained to produce solutions such as this who both need and deserve the work. In business terms the result of any help you get here will add financial gain to your business. In a business world you should then be prepared to pay a reasonable fee to creators of solutions which save your business money. For all we know you have been tasked with, and paid, (money/promotion), for providing these solutions and you are expecting others to do that task for you. Your topic title requests help, but help suggests that you will be doing some work yourself, what do you have so far?.

[Req] Script
Yzöwl replied to anthony_field's topic in Programming (C++, Delphi, VB/VBS, CMD/batch, etc.)
It's a VBScript, rename it to lockscript.vbs. By the name `upload` something must be running already processing the lock.dat file, surely that's being done at a regualr interval so that you can do the same with your script. It is not really efficient to keep the script running indefinitely. Here's another attempt at supplying you with a batch solution: MoveDat.cmd @Echo off&Setlocal If Exist C:\lock_upload\lock.dat Goto :Eof for /f "delims=" %%# In ('dir/b/o-d/a-d *.dat') Do Set "%F_%=%%#" If Not Defined F_ Goto :Eof Move "%F_%" C:\lock_upload\lock.datPlace this script into C:\lock_files I would suggest you just run this file, (say every five minutes, [300 secs]), using Soon.exe from the Windows® 2000 Resource Kit: soon 300 cmd /c C:\lock_files\MoveDat.cmd -
VBS + interact with Desktop + Service
Yzöwl replied to MAC-DUFF's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
I think you're going to have to provide us with a lot more information than that! This kind of request requires full detail; exactly what are you doing? how are you doing it? with what are you doing it? and what exactly is it that you need to change in your current method? Only with these details are we likely going to be able to provide you with anything resembling useful information. -
[Req] Script
Yzöwl replied to anthony_field's topic in Programming (C++, Delphi, VB/VBS, CMD/batch, etc.)
Perhaps I misunderstood what you were after. This script appends the content of all files in 'C:\lock_files' with the file extension .dat to a single file named 'C:\lock_upload\lock.dat' Please try to explain your exact requirements fully again! -
If you wanted to try a batch file try this: NewLog.cmd @Echo off&Setlocal Set "Source=L:"&Set "Destination=Q:"&Set "NewName=bobo"&Set "Extension=.log" Pushd %Source% For /f "delims=" %%# In ('dir/b/od/a-d *%Extension%') Do Set "OldName=%%#" Echo:F|Xcopy %OldName% %Destination%\%NewName%%Extension% /d>Nul

[Req] Script
Yzöwl replied to anthony_field's topic in Programming (C++, Delphi, VB/VBS, CMD/batch, etc.)
If the dat files you are copying or the resultant lock.dat file is binary as opposed to ascii (text), then you could use something like this. @Echo off If Not Exist C:\lock_files\*.dat Goto :Eof If Not Exist C:\lock_upload Md C:\lock_upload Pushd C:\lock_upload If Exist lock.dat (Copy /b lock.dat + C:\lock_files\*.dat &&( Del C:\lock_files\*.dat)) Else (Copy /b C:\lock_files\*.dat lock.dat &&( Del C:\lock_files\*.dat))All you need to do then is schedule the file to run at whatever frequency you require. You will of course need to ensure that none of the files are in use when you run this. -
The same could be said about guns!The guns aren't the problem, even though there may be 'legal' uses, the majority use them 'illegally'. Its usually the bullet that kills, the gun is just the distribution method!

"A classic example of why the Moderators are constantly having to move posts into the appropriate forums!" The problem with not posting your request in the forum/thread where you got the information you have reportedly used, is that we don't know anything at all of what you have been guided by. I would guess that you may have to ModifyPE something in that process; did you do that?
-
You didn't do it directly, due to editing your post after Idontwantspam's last reply, the flow of the conversation was lost thus with your plea for further help it appeared that their reply had been ignored. It wasn't a major problem, just one of the small things which can unknowingly affect your overall experience here.I have found from experience that trying to group multiple questions in one place is one of the easiest ways to have specific items ignored/lost in the thread tree. It also gives the impression of generalising the subject and thus threads tend to run off topic. We are all learning too and because of the varying levels of knowledge held by our members you'll also find that the best answers are more difficult to separate from the less useful. In a multi-question topic this can not only make it harder for you to capture what you want but also makes the reading of the topic more laborious for potential helpers and therefore turns them off helping too. Good luck with your learning experience!

The vast majority of our membership have similar aspirations. There are Forums here specifically for help with WinPE, MultiBoot, Customisation and WPI. Read those forums, learn and in a couple of years, (probably when far fewer people are still using XP), you may create a disk that you're at least 90% happy with! I'm going to close this topic since there is no 'real' question and everything you think you need to know is guaranteed to have been documented here already.

Here's some guidance for you! Read the forums, this process has a learning curve, and regardless of how much you think you know it's not enough to learn quickly. One forum post with multiple questions is not going to get your answers for you. Read, digest, test, fail... re-read, re-digest, re-test, fail again... etc. It really is the only way, but then you're a tutor so you should already know that! These forums have multiple dedicated sections, the nLite Forums would have been the best place to ask a general question based on you using the nLite application. The WMP Slipstreamer question should have been asked in it's own area too. There are threads running and specific tools available throughout these forums for downloading and/or obtaining the various hotfixes. there are also threads specific to including applications such as MS Office into your installation procedure. Believe me everything you want to know in this topic is already available here, you just need to take your time and focus both your questions and learning more appropriately. One more piece of guidance, do not bump your posts after less than a day, and try not to ignore previous helpers pertinent comment(s).
-
It sounds to me as if you are trying to use code which does something specific to do something else. The code you've provided copies all files from L: to Q: it doesn't perform a move and rename on a single file. Could you please tell us specifically what it is you want to do and perhaps a more appropriate script could be provided.

The lines preceded by colons, (:), are not doing what you were hoping for either. Lines preceded by two colons, (::), are considered as comments and not read, those with just one are still picked up.
