This is the exact processes I use and it works.. everytime. 1st thing you need to know is that is you want the activation to work you MUST install and activate NAV on the SAME pc youre going to be using your UA install CD with, BEFORE installing via your UA CD. After its been installed and activated, you want to grab the file: %Program Files%\Common Files\Symantec Shared\ccpd-lc\symlcrst.dll Next, open RegEdit and export the following key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\CCPD-LC\KStore\00000082\0000000f\0000001b] "Key"="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" For your install, do the following: 1. Copy that 'symlcrst.dll' to the location you got it from 2. Import that Reg file with your NAV key 3. run the NAV install with the following parameters: NAVSETUP.exe /qn /noreboot REBOOT=ReallySuppress Thats it. Again, what people have the most trouble with is trying to use this for another PC, or in your case Virtual PC / VMWare.. it wont work simply because that symlcrst.dll file is Machine specific. So the only way you can get it to work, is by installing on that other PC / Virtual PC 1st, Activate and Register it, then grab the symlcrst.dll file from it and make sure its that exact file thats copied back into place for that particular pc. I use my UA install for 2 pcs, so what I did is after installing and activating NAV on each pc, I grabbed each of those files, then created the same folder structure found in Program Files, in a subdirectory, which resides in the Install Dir of NAV. I then SFX the entire installdir up and extract it to %systemdrive%\NAV2005 during RunOnceEx, which then launches a batch file 'setup.cmd'. So for example, in my NAV2005 directory, where I have the NAV installer, I also have 2 other folders- each named the same name as the hostname of the PCs' I install NAV on (1 called Shuttlebox, the other Durexbox). In those folders I then have 'Common Files\Symantec Shared\ccpd-lc' and the dll specific to that particular PC. Finally, I use the following code to copy the right dll based on the PCs' hostname: SET NAVSRC=%systemdrive%\NAV2005 If %computername%==DUREXBOX GOTO _DUREX If %computername%==SHUTTLEBOX GOTO _SHUTTLE :_DUREX XCOPY /E /H /R /I /Y "%NAVSRC%\durexbox\*" "%programfiles%" GOTO _SETUP :_SHUTTLE XCOPY /E /H /R /I /Y "%NAVSRC%\shuttlebox\*" "%programfiles%" GOTO _SETUP Hope this helps.

post your winnt.sif file...

Cool... thx

Since my last reformat / reinstall my Task Manager looks like this... As you can see a ton of my processes doesnt show the UserName... any idea what would cause this to happen? Thanks!

Just wondering if anyone recommended a decent eBay auction notifier... preferably, the more slimmed down the better. The last thing I need is another browser toolbar.

Associate .zip with anything other than Windows 'Compressed (zipped) folders'.... i.e.WinRAR or WinZip.

The point of this thread is that nobody is clear on what the actual process is that should be killled... not how you should kill it

more themes! keep em comin! Is there anyway you can sift out the themes from this thread and toss them up there?

That method is different than placing 'profile=profiles\Yzowl' in your firefox shortcut, correct? Because I know placing it in your shortcut looks in the same folder as firefox.exe. If so, thats def good to know for future installs.

But are you even sure that explore.exe is even running at this stage?

Did you try the taskkill explore.exe?

Youre getting the windows 'profile' confused with your firefox profile. While ultimately your Firefox profile is held in a subdirectory of your Docs and Settings folder, it should start in the 'Defaults\profile' folder of your firefox directory as Firefox creates a randomly named directory to hold your profile under the Docs and Settings folder. Hope this makes sense...

**CoughsearchCough**

Of course they dont... because the Quick Launch folder isnt under the All Users profile... is under the user specific profile.. which is why in the numerous examples that are spread throughout this forum say to place your QL shortcuts in "$OEM$\$Docs\Default User\..." NOT "$OEM$\$Docs\All Users\..." All files under the 'Default User' profile are copied to User specific profile

I have no problem using quotes with WPI, without the need of using an escape character.. at least with the wizard anyway, I havent taken a peak at the config file to see if WPI automatically places one in there.. but this should work work for you without issue... %systemdrive%\install\applications\VIRTUALPC_2004\Setup.exe /S /v /qn pidkey=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx allusers=2 organization=YOURCOMPANY installdir=c:\programme\VirtualPC2004 Because you dont have any spaces in any of your paths, you shouldnt need quotes at all. If you did you would want to use the following: "%systemdrive%\install\applications\VIRTUALPC_2004\Setup.exe" /S /v /qn pidkey=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx allusers=2 organization=YOURCOMPANY installdir="c:\programme\VirtualPC2004"

Look around the forum! Theres an entire forum section devoted to WPI... try looking there!

Well.. Id start off by posting in the right section.. theres an entire one devoted to it... along with an FAQ and links to the home page of WPI which has even more info. How bout we try reading before exclaiming you cant figure something out by simply looking at the program. And how bout being more specific next time too by actually telling what exact issues you are having. Welcome to msfn!

Because the entire point of that warning msg is to make you aware youre about to launch a file which could do some major dmg to your system as it will allow ANY batch file from ANY source to launch without issue... while Soulins' method only allows any file from that one source to be launched

For these you need to do a bit more than simply delete the folders as Im sure youve realized. Search around, there are a few threads which walk you through the steps needed to remove these once and for all... and stop any future "My ...." folders from appearing.

Because "http://www.vicman.net/" isnt a process... your browser that launched that page is... For IE "taskkill.exe /F /IM iexplore.exe" For Firefox "taskkill.exe /F /IM firefox.exe"

As far as I understand it, RunOnceEx runs prior to the explorer shell starting up, if this is the case then you should be able to kill explore.exe to close it down. Easy way to test... while your runonce is running, hit Ctrl Alt Del.. thatll bring up task mgr and you can see for yourself. Post up your results

RMDIR /S /Q "%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\My Pictures\Sample Pictures"

All RunOnceEx is, is a batch file. So you want to use 'REM' at the beginning of the line.

please read up on the guides because youre getting different UA components confused... each program is packaged in a particular 'installer' (like I mentioned before examples of these installers are InstallShield, InnoSetup, Windows Installer, etc), each installer has its own switches, so once you figure out the installer you look up the switches for that particular one (granted they dont always work all the time), but for the most part you get a good jump start on most of your programs... these have absolutely nothing to do with RunOnceEx...

Hurray for searching!
