[The Best anti-virus]

I switched over to F-Prot. Lowest resources, fastest scanning, and good database.

[Registry Tweaks]

No. It's commented because it's a comment. You can just delete it, though I don't think anything will happen if you uncomment it.

[Force Delete of Install Folder]

Pff, just delete it when you're done installing

EDIT: Problems fixed.

[What went wrong in my setup timeline?]

EDIT: Argh. I confused GuiUnattended with GuiRunOnce. Heh heh Got my cd working great though, thanks msfn!

[Please look at my winnt.sif file (newbie :D)]

Thanks for the new key Astalavista! Works great!

OK, bad joke.

[SFX installs from CD?]

Thanks.

[SFX installs from CD?]

Is it pointless to run SFX silent installers from the cd? They still have to extract to the hard drive right?

[Useful & Free App - ShellExView]

Nice

[Help with '/dir='?]

Is it possible to specify the directory for any silent install using '/dir=', or is that switch installer specific?

[Truly unattended install]

Usually its "FileSystem=NTFS". You just forgot to specify what file system you want to format as.

[Runonceex.cmd questions]

1. Yes (I guess you could split them half and half if you felt the need. . .)

2. I don't understand what you are asking. Both start.cmd and runonceex.cmd will copy to the hard drive and run the install from there unless you specify them to run from the cd.

3. You are right about this. The reason there are increments of 5 is so more software can be added later without having to renumber all the following installs.

[Questions concerning $OEM$ installation]

I knew it must be relatively simple. Thanks for answering my questions Teleri, I can finally make this thing .

[Questions concerning $OEM$ installation]

Various and probably very easy

1. Alright, take this example from MSFN Tutorial Batch Examples:

REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\apps\AdobeReader6\AR6.msi /qn" /f

I don't understand where the Reader will be installed. At (system drive or 'C'):\Apps?

2.

So if I place the folder 1by1 and its files into $Progs so the address is:

C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$Prog\1by1\

That would be automatically created somewhere in the installation?

3. Why would I need 'Install' or 'Drivers' on my root? Is that even what's happening?

4. Are the various setup programs being copied to my hard drive and then run from there?

I am so .

If I need to be more specific, just ask

[ISO browsing program?]

Archiving tools such as WinRAR can open the contents of the ISO as well.

[Recommend a CD burning software?]

I'm creating my first Unattended CD, but I don't know what I should use. I don't care if its share/freeware, so long as it's good in your opinion. Thanks.

[What's the best firewall?]

The best?

[Is it possible to update without. . .]

Autopatcher doh! Forgot about that, thanks. I'm too lazy to ask for a cd .

[Is it possible to update without. . .]

IE or Help and Support? That's the only reason I could think to keep IE.

[Rating for SP2]

Voted bad: some old proggies don't work, load of services and applications I don't need. . .tgfnlite.
