ROYGBIV

Dang it looks pretty confusing that AutoIt. I'll probably try this again all next weekend when I have 3 days to fool around with it and not 1. From what I saw, I'm going to need those 3 days. In the meantime I'll gather information about AutoIt and maybe might find a starter's guide that walks you through a basic script somewhere on the net. Thanks.

I do not like the newer versions. They were all poopy and nothing to my liking. Ever since SlySoft took over they have been producing crap. v4.2.0.2 is the latest version that I know of that was made by ElbySoft. Is there guides out there on AutoIt? I'm willing to learn it and I'm a pretty good learner. I'm not computer illeterate so any guide should do. Thanks for everyone's posts so far . edit: Was just looking at the URL and found this: Looks like I got the latest of which was the good ones (in my opinion). Any guides ?

I didn't find anything useful in the search. I found 3 topics, 1 was mine. The one had CloneCD 6 but had the exact same line of code as me, which didn't work. The other one was the AutoIt thread, but I have no idea what AutoIt is. In that thread it didn't tell you what it was and just gave scripts, which I have no idea what to do with them.

How do I get this to silently install? I'm 100% it uses NSIS and I followed that guide. It opened up the install but didn't do it silently and I had to set the options for it. So far I got: ECHO. ECHO Registering CloneCD... REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\Applications\CloneCD\register.reg ECHO. ECHO Installing CloneCD 4.2.0.2 ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\CloneCD\CloneCD.exe /s The registering part works (doesn't give me any errors, haven't checked if it's regged yet since CloneCD won't install). With what I have given above, it just opens up the install and the "/s", which was suggested in the guide, didn't do anything. I followed this: http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/applications/nsis.htm Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks . By the way, if it matters, I'm doing an SP1a unattended CD, not SP2.

Is the first post, the way I should try this? I'm new to Unattended installions and getting along pretty well so far. How do you do that AutoIt stuff? From what I read from the first post it says something about in the AutoIt directory. So does this mean I have to download it? If so, where can I get it? Also that .zip at the end of the post, is that a working version that reg's outpost? I would like to try to compile one on my own, but this is probably the last resort.

So for this page, http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/winnt_sif.htm, I wouldn't need to create an Answer File? To create that Answer File it says I need the XP SP2 Deployment Tools. So if I created one with that, would it work with SP1? Thanks for your reply.

I was just informated about your guide on how to do an unattended install of WinXP. I was very pleased to hear about this since I always wanted to do this. I just skimmed through it and I noticed it is SP2 based. I was wondering if there is an SP1 (or SP1a, samething) guide out there archived or still live on the web. The guy who recommended this to me told me that someone (FD, if you by any chance know of that name) uses this to create his own image. He created two so far, one was SP1 and one is SP2. This is why I'm lead to believe there was a earlier guide that was SP1 based. I don't like SP2 that much. I had it installed for 5 minutes before I removed it. It was very crap in my opinion and caused a bunch of problems. I would like to avoid using SP2 again, though if there's no other option, I guess I would have to take what is given. Any help/comments are welcome and greatly appreciated.
