OemSkipEula=YES [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1,2,5,6 Language=0409 i put these 2 lines in WPI %CDROM%\Retestrak\MUI\MUISETUP.exe -i 0406 0413 040b 040c 0407 0410 0816 0419 0c0a 041D 041f -d 0409 -r -s %CDROM%\I386\winnt32.exe /unattend:"%CDROM%\Retestrak\Z\mui.txt" /copysource:"lang" /s:"%CDROM%\Retestrak\MUI\" and i still get the same error as in above post can anybody please please help me i'm starting to pull my hair out here

well i created an answerfile etc but when i run winnt32.exe it gives an error thats where i'm stuck e.g need help here is my second line in wpi : %CDROM%\I386\winnt32.exe /unattend:"%CDROM%\Retestrak\Z\mui.txt" /s:"%CDROM%\Retestrak\MUI\MUISETUP.exe" and this is the error i get : i have no clue on what to do next ! i really need help from a pro here ...

i have the same thing... tried qn and qb switch but when xp is installed and i click the icon on the desktop it says preparing to install what the ??? anyone have a solution yet ?

erhm guys ? can i have a bit more help please ? i pasted the following line into WPI to install MUI %CDROM%\Retestrak\MUI\MUISETUP.exe /i 0401 040d 0411 0412 0404 0804 0407 041D 0410 0413 040c 0c0a 0416 /d 040d /r /s but it doesnt install any of the language packs ? do i need to add something extra ? did i forget something ?

thanks for the replies guys that 7zip thingy looks pretty complicated for now (me is noob) so i will try what3v3r's option in any case thanks again for your help

hi guys sorry for asking this probably stupid question ... but can anyone tell me if i can install MUI from WPI ? and if possible how i need to do it please ... thank you !

i am not even thinking about drivers yet...i'm still at the pondering point so how do you make an UA x64 ? copy cd to hdd and make/edit winnt.sif ? or will that not work with x64 ? i wanna start making my stuff too but i think it might be handy if one knew if the process is the same for a normal UA xp and this new UA x64 xp...... X-Savior how did you do it ? can you answer my questions please ?

i was also looking for answers on how to make an unattended x64 version so is this winpe 2005 the only way to make an unattended version ??? you cannot do it like you do with a normal xp ???

problem solved guys strange thing is that dont even know what the real problem was i did everything from scratch and now it works anyway i just wanted to thank everyone here who tried to help me so thanks guys for helping a newbie again really kind of you all

thanks again for the replies guys really nice of you i will try that extra lines in the cmd file, add it and try again hope it works and if not i just start over and try again this is only the second time i try this so i;m still learning i will post back how it went (lets hope it worked)

thanks m8 i will have another go at it this weekend will remove all and start over but again i havent changed any files i only edited the paths in the batch files to reflect my driver folder in stead of the extra oem/bin folder on my dvd i just wanted all my drivers and your packs under one folder namely %cdrom%\Drivers guess i'm just to much of a retard to get it working...

thanks again for your help only thing i changed was the path to my base folder dir m8 i'm very close to giving up right now... is it possible to do method1 or 2 again from the start ? (overwriting this install) if you answer with yes i will just begin from the start but no more changes i just want (wanted) my drivers to install from the dvd like my software and not copy them to hdd first (e.g the $OEM$\$1 folders) if i can start over again i will do it EXACTLY as in the topic posted a few posts above...but like i said is that still possible ?

thanks for the replies guys i'm glad you are willing to help a newcomer i really am i changed my prestup.cmd like you guys suggested and tried again well the "cannot find setup" error is gone now but now i have a new one and this particular error is just plain weird as that must be correct in the presetup.cmd my lines (unmodified) REM +=======================================================+ REM | Trick Windows into identifying the original setup.exe | REM | deleting the setup.exe will not work, just rename it | REM |-------------------------------------------------------| if exist setup.exe ren setup.exe setupold.exe if exist setupORG.exe ren setupORG.exe setup.exe REM +=======================================================+ and look at the error below in the picture can anyone help me on this please ?

no i did not repack your drivers my master driver folder is in the root of the dvd so not even in $OEM$ folder e.g X:\Drivers\DP\herealldriverfoldersfromyourpacks(andmine) must your dp folder be in $OEM$ ??? i thought you could put them in your root driver folder (X:\Drivers\) you see i'm installing everything from the dvd i dont use the copy to hdd first ($OEM$\$1\) did i f*ck up here ? and if so can i resque anything or is it game over ? EDIT : could this work : start /WAIT %CDROM%\setup.exe %* in stead of start /WAIT setup.exe %* just an idea....

yup your driverpacks the folder DP is located in the folder Drivers (root of dvd e.g \Drivers\DP\) i'll add my presetup.cmd to this post so you can have a look presetup.cmd

nope no nlite and no i did not remove anything i did everything as told in the readme files i used method 2 only thing i edited was the path to the driver folder eg from $OEM$/$1 to Drivers but i dont think that hasnt got anything to do with the presetup.cmd not finding the setup (wich strangely says C: while it should install from the dvd) do you need me to post anything here like my presetup.cmd or something ? i really need this fixed please... (or else my ucd is f*cked up i guess?)

the debug ??? sorry no ... didnt even know there was one... edit: looked on his site but nothing about debug so how do i get that ?

hi guys, been searching the board for the last 2 hours to find information about my problem i have failed to find anything so i hope one of you is willing to help me i integrated the driverpacks into my ucd, edited all that was needed followed everything as in the information files i had no errors whatsoever so i made my iso and start testing it in vmware then suddenly i got the popup message (as in attached picture) Fatal Error: Cannot open C:\\setup.exe i have no clue what this error is i'm installing everything from dvd so why is it looking in c anyway ??? only thing i can think of myself (and i'm not that smart) that it has something to do with this section from presetup.cmd ??? hopefully some of you can make some sense out of this as i am completely lost please help if you can

thanks alot m8 ! really kind of you next time i will try and search harder

i searched...and am now searching again... still cannot find it anywhere... guess i'm just another anoying noob eh

@ Astalavista you said : i use a modified version of wpi.cmd you wanna post it here please ? i wanna try your method

i know that m8 and thats why i asked where to put the reg code as i want my own bootscreen to load please point me in the right direction of where to put that reg code

first of all thank you for making this ! second i'm a bit lost with that registry bit... where do i put that registry part you posted ? just copy and paste all somewhere in to my regtweaks.reg ??? or do i need to make a regfile for it and run that after the programs ??? thanks for helping

Nevermind i found out how it works it was so easy i couldnt find it lol anyway here is my first attempt on customizing my own WPI http://www.retestrak.nl/Temp/WPI.jpg nothing special i think...

hi guys i'm just starting out with WPI and have one lil question is there a way to put your own text in the top and bottom blue bar in the default theme ? if so how would i go about doing that ?
