What version of WinSetupFromUSB did you use?
There should be more lines in presetup.cmd if any of the latest was used, unattended section should be fully supported, with some workarounds done by the program.
my bad .. i got here via a german site which had WinSetupFromUSB_0-1-1
on the original thread it's Latest - vers. 0.2.3 - 06.July.2009
i will try it with the new version ;-)
thx

ok prior to reading this thread, i tried to merge my winnt.sif (unattended) with the winnt.sif which is created by the program.
i have exactly the issues described above.
here (http://www.msfn.org/board/install-usb-winsetupfromusb-gui-t120444.html) in the first post it is mentioned that presetup.cmd is taking care of this problem.
however i can't find any indication regarding the unattend issue.
my presetup.cmd looks like this:
SET TAGFILE=\$WIN_NT$.~LS
FOR %%h IN (U D M N O P Q R S T V W X Y) DO IF EXIST "%%h:%TAGFILE%" SET CDDRIVE=%%h:
if "%CDDRIVE%" == "" (
FOR %%h IN (C E F G H I J K L) DO IF EXIST "%%h:%TAGFILE%" SET CDDRIVE=%%h:
)
REM ===========Added by WinSetupFromUSB============
IF EXIST %systemroot%\system32\setupold.exe DEL /F %systemroot%\system32\setupold.exe
IF EXIST c:\boot.003 DEL /F c:\boot.003
REM ====================END=======================
EXITso here is my question:
since i cannot use the [unattended] section in winnt.sif, where can i specify those values, settings, etc. ??
any hint?
thx

actually i tried using RegShot .. but it was really difficult to strip it down to the values ..
how exactly did you use regmon? (which filter?)
0 -
yeah if possible while installing with a tweak, or after installing (and logging in for the first time) via a registry tweak or batch file.

hi guys
i am searching for a way to disable file printer sharing on windows xp.
i already searched the forum and the web but didn't find anything for the unattended thing.
is there a batch/reg tweak we can use? or does it have something to do with the services?
thx

Install WGA on your PC.
Take "LegitCheckControl.dll" from your windows\system32 dir and place it on your CD (could be $OEM$\$$\system32)
Then the dll just needs to be registered with "regsvr32 /s legitcheckcontrol.dll" (don't know if you need the path also)
I register it in a .inf-file much like RyanVM's but you should be able to do it in something like GuiRunOnce.
does it have to be even registered ?

i am not sure if it was already requested but for Lan over Internet Play (VPN)
hamachi (www.hamachi.cc) is THE tool

@One-Post Wonder
i tried your reg tweak and DNS flushing
but it didn't resolve my problem
i also read the mentioned urls, but didn't find something which could identify my problem
0 -
***EDIT***
actually this didn't help solve my problem
it just happened again
and ping from the console works with DNS
with e.g. ping www.google.com - i get normal response times although browsing doesn't work
i think the problem lies somewhere else ..
because the browser says: website found, waiting for response
***EDIT***
I'd been having a similar problem...the web browser would stop working after 15-20 minutes of internet activity. It took me about 2 minutes to fix following a fairly simple procedure.The problem for me was that the DNS cache overflowed after a little while, so I simply added registry keys to prevent caching. This can be done as follows:
1. First thing you need to do is clear your current cache. At the command prompt (Run -> command) type in ipconfig /flushdns If everything went well ipconfig should spit out a line about successfully flushing the cache.
2. Now get into the registry editor (Run -> regedit). Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters
3. Right click in the space to the right and select New -> DWORD Value. Name the DWORD MaxCacheTtl and make sure its value is 0. Values can be changed simply by double-clicking on the DWORD.
4. Create another new DWORD. Name this one MaxNegativeCacheTtl and again make sure its value is 0.
5.Close regedit and restart.
This solved all the problems for me. Hope it works as well for you.
wow B)
this looks like a reasonable thing to me !!
i will check it out
thx

setup:
P4 3,2 - 1GB Ram
unattended XP+SP2
NIS 2005
ok since WinXP + SP2 i have this issue.
after 30 - 45 minutes of browsing, doing stuff on the web, emailing, ...
all of a sudden i have no connection on the higher levels to the web.
meaning i can't:
1) browse to a website on any browser (IE, maxthon, FireFox, ..)
2) send/receive emails
3) use built in updates of any application
4) use ftp ...
... etc.
however
i can:
ping/tracert in the dos console
annoying solutions:
after 10-15 minutes and retrying/reloading browsing/web pages it works again.
after a reboot it works again, until 30 - 45 then the game starts from the beginning
i thought of the connections limit of XP
so i replaced the old tcpip.sys with another with unlimited connections -> this didn't help in any way
and no after the problem arises deactivating NIS 2005 doesn't make any difference
did about 10 reinstalls so far
(NIS + WinXP)*argh*
it is really annoying!
what can i do ? what can i check ? any tool i can monitor with to get to know what is wrong ?
any help/idea is much appreciated
thx

with the help of this forum i created an unattended installation of winxp + SP2
besides having a WPI i replaced 4 files:
winntbbu.dl_
termsrv.sy_
TCPIP.SY_
UXTHEME.DL_
and removed such things as Media Player with nLite ...
However my main problem is that objects in 3D games are invisible for a few seconds, then i can see them; then flashing, then invisible, normal again etc. ..
I didn't have this problem on a "normal" installation (not unattended)
This happens in Unreal Tournament 2004 (Single+Multiplayer), but Half Life 2 (Single Player) is working just fine.
I thought it might be a problem of the new ATI Catalyst 4.11.
So i reinstalled 4.9 where all worked as it should. -> No change
sidenote: when installing any catalyst version on the system, i get the popup that windows recognizes a wrong version of a file and wants the original CD to replace them. -> so what does the installation of the graphics driver has to do with any of my replaced files above ???
setup:
P4 3,2 GHz
1GB DDRRam
ASUS Mainboard
Powercolor Radeon 9800XT
WinXP + SP2 integrated unattended installation
help is appreciated

hi fellas
i had an issue when windows is shutting down; it was just not powering down.
I did this reg tweak:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"PowerdownAfterShutdown"="1"which didn't make any difference
finally i found out how it works here (http://aumha.org/win5/a/shtdwnxp.htm):
POWERDOWN ISSUES
“Powerdown issues” are quite distinctive from “shutdown issues.” I define a shutdown problem as one wherein Windows doesn’t make it at least to the “OK to shut off your computer” screen. If Windows gets that far, or farther, then it has shut down correctly. However, the computer may not powerdown correctly after that. This is a different problem, and I encourage people reporting these issues to make a clear distinction in their labeling.
When Windows XP won’t powerdown automatically, the APM/NT Legacy Power Node may not be enabled. To enable this, right-click on the My Computer icon, click Properties | Hardware | Device Manager | View. Check the box labeled “Show Hidden Devices.” If it’s available on your computer, there will be a red X on the APM/NT Legacy Node. Try enabling it and see if this resolves the powerdown problem (Tip from Terri Stratton). Or, to check the other side of the APM/ACPI coin, open the Power Options applet in Control Panel. If there is an APM tab, make sure the “Enable Advanced Power Management Support” box is checked. (MSKB 313290)
my question is:
how can i implement this or activate this in an unattended installation of winXP, since the installation i am using is from my unattended version.

I really dont know of any other programs out there to manipulate partitions like PM, but I'm sure they exist. I dont think PM will get any better now that Symantec Owns them, just look at Norton Antivirus, what a piece of bloated crap.
Always make sure to make the restore disks with PM, so you can undo things if you run into a situation like this one again.
I'm surprised you have had such good luck with PM.
you are right that Partition Magic won't get better under the hands of Symantec ..
i think i will spend some time with Acronis .. install, program, usage looks good so far B)

Uff ...
I was able to reaccess partition G with Acronis RecoveryExpert.
this was making my day
@ChunkDog
thx for your help
actually I never had any problem with resizing in Partition Magic.
can you suggest other products for merging, etc. .. from your experience ??
0 -
ok my setup:
1HD: NTSF partitioned in
{Primary Partition}
F(40GB)
{Extended}
G(40GB)
H(40GB)
With Partition Magic I wanted to merge the G Partition to the F partition.
It said I have to reboot to make these changes, I did so.
In the booting process it worked until ~30% of the overall process and stopped with the message: File Not Found. Press any key to reboot.
So I did reboot and learned that partition F was intact.
However G and H were gone. When looking at the HD in partition magic is says
1 partition : BAD (120GB)
Question is: How can I access at least the partition H again, which was not involved (at least not meant to) ???? Because this are like 40GB of my most important stuff.
any help is much appreciated
thx

[b]McAfee VirusScan 2005[/b]
Note 1:
1) Copy the contents of the folder VSC (from CD) to a new directory.
2) Paste this file in the same dir.
Note 2:
Virusscan is extremely different than all other apps I saw so far.
It's not a good script solution, however it works.
It is commented so you can customize settings.0 -
this really is a bastard ..
it uses some html menus, boxes ..
argh even autoIT has some problems with it so i use sleeps (wait times)
you can grab it later @ the autoIT thread (page 10) which is pinned in this forum
