But with my inf installer, Vuze will get installed at the T-12/13 stage with all its registry setting. No need to wait till first login.

First off, the Hive files is the registry, when windows installs setup uses the Hive files to write the registry. Most of the tweaks inserted into hive files will not get overwritten although some like ones for Internet Explorer might and you will need to edit IE.inf and insert your tweaks to the registry entries in this inf file, (Trial and error). I have not fully tested all the tweaks yet, but the tweaks i have inserted in to the hive files did not get overwritten and worked, (i.e. Performance,Context Menu ect tweaks). As for [GuiRunOnce], not sure have not done that plus i do not use this to install some of my apps. I write my own INF files to install my apps and then use SysSetup.inf to install my apps which then get installed at the T-13 stage with all there registry settings. Check in the Application Install section and look for my Vuze 3.1.1.0 Advanced Inf install and if you want to know how i do it then just PM me. When i install apps using WinNT.sif i don't use [GuiRunOnce] as i don't want to have my apps installed at first logon, i use [setupParams] instead. Using this option the applications i don't write inf files for will get installed on the first reboot after Windows is installed. I find the methods i use much better than using like Cmdline.txt ect. Anyway, i hope this information is of any help to you and anyone else. Regards Worf

The Hive Files are the files that write the registry when Windows is installing. There are four hive file in the I386 folder, these are: HiveDef.inf - HKey_Current_User HiveCLS.inf - HKey_Classes_Roots HiveSft.inf - HKey_Locol_Machine (Software) HiveSys.inf - HKey_Local_Machine (System) So, if you have some reg tweaks for HKey_Local_Machine (System) HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management","ClearPageFileAtShutdown",0x00010001,0 HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management","DisablePagingExecutive",0x00010003,0 HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management","LargeSystemCache",0x00010003,0 You would open up HiveSys.inf in notepad and search for say, Memory Management and once found either insert you tweaks in that section if your tweak is not there, or just change the value for that tweak. I.E. HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management","LargeSystemCache",0x00010003,0 If your tweak is to set "LargeSystemCache" from '0' to '1' then you would change the '0' at the end of the line to '1' HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management","LargeSystemCache",0x00010003,1 I hope this helps.

Ok, here is an .inf installer for Vuze 3.1.1.0. When you download it read the Read Me file on how to intergrate it into the Windows Installation. To Install it follow the instructions below which is included in the Read Me file. Copy both the Vuze.cab and Vuze.in_ to the I386 folder Add the following line to Txtsetup.sif,Dosnet.inf and sysoc.inf Txtsetup [sourceDisksFiles] vuze.inf = 100,,,,,,,20,0,0 vuze.cab = 100,,,,,,_x,,3,3 Dosnet.inf [Files] d1,vuze.inf d1,vuze.cab Sysoc.inf [Components] vuze = ocgen.dll,OcEntry,vuze.inf,HIDE,7 If you want you can add this line to the Syssetup.inf instead of the Sysoc.inf [infs.Always] vuze.inf,DefaultInstall I use this method instead of Sysoc.inf I have tested this and it installs fine but if you have any problems then let me know. http://www.worfsfiles.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/V3.1.1.0.rar Worf.

You can alway insert them straight into the hive files which is what i do. Just edit the Hivedef.inf and look for the line that matches the line for your tweak and then just change that line, or add lines to the hivedef.inf if your line does not exist. All my tweaks are inserted straight into all the Hive files. Just make sure you make backup copies of the Hive files before you make any changes to them. Hope this help? Worf.

Installer Done look in main topic area.

Hi. Just want to let you know that i am working on an installer for Vuze, will post a link when i have got it working.

Hi The correct way is: logonui2.exe = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0 or logonui2.exe = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0,logonui_cust.exe The second one will rename is to logon_cust.exe when it gets copied to the System32 folder. If it is not spelt correctly windows will not be able to find it and you will get an error on the Txt mode part of setup.

If you want to install applications from the $OEM$ directory then look here http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/59/ Have a browes through this site. You can always write your own .INF files to install your apps like i have but it is lengthy to do but a least you dont have to worry about switches. For the hotfixes i think these might help you. http://www.msfn.org/board/GUIDE-Download-E...ft-t109264.html http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/v...589cb74ca08edf/ There is a lot of information around, its a case of searching, it took me a while to find all the information i needed.

Yea, i did a search on Google and found it. I did what you said and the installation worked although one of the updates i integrated did not work but after reading the guide from your link i think i know why. Did not know that the hotfixes had to go in numeric order.

Thx DarkShadow. I will try this again. Many Thx

Hi. Not sure what i am doing wrong but i have followed the guide but nothing gets installed The only one which i can see is KB941569 and when i go to windows update i still have to install WGA. None of the Active X gets installed nor does the shortcuts get created. I have Windows XP Corp SP3

First of all, IE7,WMP11 do not get put into $OEM$, they get integrated into the I386. Secondly, Hotfixes get put into I386\SVCPack\ when using NLite. What option are you using ion Nlite for IE7 and your hotfixes? To slipstream WMP11 got here http://www.boooggy.org/slipstreamer/ and download WMP11 Slipstreamer and also get all the hotfixes for WMP11. Now, for you applications look here:- http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/ You might be better of looking in the addons section and see if there are any addons for these programs Hope this helps?

Have a look here theres a lot of information. http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/

Hi On the Unattended section of NLite 1.4.7 i select Administrator when entering the login user name but when i test my XP unattended cd on vmware the user was logged in as a User and not as Administrator. Any one else having this prob?

The sysoc.in_ is compressed and you need to uncompress it so that you can edit it in notepad and look for any referance to any .inf files for you .cab files. As for Txtsetup and Dosnet search the files for any referance to your cab and inf files and just delete them. search for expander to compress and decompress the Sysoc.in_

Look in the Txtsetup.sif and Dosnet.inf, for the .inf files look in sysoc.inf. Hope this helps.

Hi. I have writen an .inf file to install an application with it's registry entries but for some reason the registry entries highlighted below are not being written to the registry although the others are. These entries need to go into the Current User entry. HKCU,"Software\PowerISO",,0x00000012 ;These two HKCU,"Software\PowerISO","Install_Dir",0x00000000,"C:\Program Files\PowerISO\" HKCU,"Software\PowerISO","USER",0x00000001,00,11,22,33,44,55,66,77,88,99,aa,bb,cc,dd,ee,ff,01,23,45,67,89,ab HKCU,"Software\PowerISO","Language",0x00010001,"1033" ;This one HKCU,"Software\PowerISO","MainWindow",0x00000001,6e,00,00,00,6e,00,00,00,c0,03,00,00,d9,02,00,00,00,00,00,00 HKCU,"Software\PowerISO","Status",0x00010001,00000005 HKCU,"Software\PowerISO","ShellIntegration",0x00010001,00000001 Anyone have any ideas? Many Thanks Worf

Hi. I have been working on my own way of intergrateing programs into Windows XP which is taking me hours if not days to do because of all the registry entries i have to change so that i can intergrate them into the HIVE files. One of them was Serials ect that go into HKU, to get them to go into HKU you will need to find the same location in the HKCU and add the string value there. For Example (PowerISO) For PowerISO the serial is located here in HKU: HKU,"S-1-5-21-1482476501-926492609-682003330-500\Software\PowerISO",,0x00000012 HKU,"S-1-5-21-1482476501-926492609-682003330-500\Software\PowerISO","User Name",0x00000001,(Serial Number) And in HKCU: HKCU,"Software\PowerISO",,0x00000012 HKCU,"Software\PowerISO","User Name",0x00000001,(Serial Number) So just put the string from HKU into HKCU and when you start the program it will automaticly create the HKU strings and also copy the Serial too. The way i install all my programs now is through INF files and then add all the registry entries to the HIVE files. Then i add an entry in the SysSetup.inf which will install my programs. As you will not be able to uninstall them by doing it this way (unless you include the uninstall strings) i only do it with programs that i use the most. If you would like to know how i do this then send me a pm and i will explain it to you and also upload an example of one of the programs i install through INF files. I must warn you that it can take hours just to one program due to the registry entries. Hope this helps. Worf

Don't know where you got 1.4.5.5 from, i redownloaded NLite and the version number is still 1.4.5

Hi Nuhi. I have been looking at the Driver.cab and also Drvindex.inf, now is there any other files apart from the drvindex.inf that has anything to do with drivers and the driver.cab? Many Thanks for your help Worf

Have you got an OEM version of XP but want a Retail or a Coporate Version of Window XP? Well here is a way to do it, see below. Please note you must own a legal copy with a legit CD Key....... WinXP's setupp.ini controls how the cd acts. IE, is it OEM version or retail? First, find your setupp.ini file in the i386 directory on your WinXP cd. Open it up, it'll look somthing like this: ExtraData=707A667567736F696F697911AE7E05 Pid=55034000 The Pid value is what we're interested in. What's there now looks like standard default. There are special numbers that determine if it's a retail, oem or volume license edition. First, we break down that number into two parts. The first five digits determines how the CD will behave, ie is it a retail cd that lets you clean install or upgrade, or an oem cd that only lets you perform a cleam install? The last three digits determine what CD key it will accept. You are able to mix and match these values. For example, you could make a WinXP cd that acted like a retail cd, yet accepted OEM keys. Now, for the actual values. Remember the first and last values are interchangable, but usually you'd keep them as a pair: Retail = 51882 335 Volume license = 51883 270 OEM = 82503 OEM So if you wanted a retail CD that took retail keys, the last line of your setupp.ini file would read: Pid=51882335 And if you wanted a retail CD that took OEM keys, you'd use Pid=51882OEM Note that this does NOT get rid of WinXP's activation. Changing the Pid to a Volume License will not bypass activation. You must have a volume license (corporate) key to do so. Hope this helps Worf
