Can you explain me how it works? i need to silent make a reg modify in win8 Thank you Just pm me your .reg file and I can show you how to do it in a sfx install

I used a winrar sfx install to create the inf package, as you get updates you could just unzip my sfx file then replace the existing AGTweaker.exe file with the updated one then repack back to a sfx.If you need any help with doing sfx files just pm me and I can show you how..

You mentioned about using your gui in the control panel from bigmuscles thread (post #165), so I went ahead and made a AGTweaker control panel applet installer which includes a built-in uninstaller. After install you can go into the Program Files (x86) directory and pin the Tweaker to the Start Menu and Taskbar for quick access.. Note: remove .txt extension from the uploaded file then run as administrator.. Enjoy! DosProbie ö¿ö

Thanks again ORelio for a great standalone app to support bigmuscles aero!, Sorry if I got you in trouble from the thread, was just trying to show alternative to running the aero with your tweaker gui.. hey do you have the source code of your gui , would like to learn more .. Thanks

yes <settings pass="windowsPE"> Thanks MaXx , Got this all figured out late last nite (See Snippet below - now Win8 just goes to the partition screen , runs all my sfx apps etc and goes straight to desktop) Now I can go finish my Office silent Installer with pre-activation ... Life is good ö¿ö

You could make sfx files for the majority of the software, Put them all in one folder on your external drive then do a multi-installer from a batch file or just package all together like I do and let em rip.. DosProbie

Thanks for the tip on adding <ImageInstall> to my answer file, Would I add this in the settings pass="windowsPE" section??

Glad u like it ORelio, Thanks again for doing the GUI and making it so easy for everyone.. Now if I only knew C#, I got some projects that could use it ..

Good Look draken! like the Charcoal border, what Opacity and Blur do you have it set on?

Hey bigmuscle, I know how much Work goes into a project like this so I personally want to say "THANK YOU" for all your hard work thus far on this Aero Preview...The more I use it the more impressed I am. There seems to be more Rants that Raves on here so everyone again this is only a Preview and not the Final Product! DosProbie ö¿ö

Here's a quick and easy way to access and toggle the Aero Glass from the Desktop Context menu. (just delete the .txt extensions on files and follow install instructions) Enjoy!

I have a single OS Image of Windows 8 Pro with Media Center with a Autounattend.xml answer file that I have got down to 2 install screens before going to the desktop, The "Select your operating System" for Windows 8 Pro with Media Center X64 and then the Partition Screen. Since I only have a single OS image I would like to skip over the Select your OS and go straight to the Partition Screen. My question is where in Settings Pass would I add the skipping over the Select OS? Everything else is working perfect with the Windows Install key installing and Preactivated with my free WMC key . I am not using the ei.cfg nor the pid.tx or setupcomplete. If someone has done this successfully then I would really appreciate the help.. See my attached xml file. Thanks Again

Gotcha .. If you are using Win 8 then you can just slipstream all your .reg files into your wim image by using WinToolKit v.1.4.0.77 as a .WA addon file. Install WinToolKit then go to > Tools > Addon Maker > Import Registry > Add *.reg Now it will be Unattended and Installed during your OS install..

Why don't you just run a batch file like below and put in same folder as your .reg file, then right-click and run as admin.. @echo off cd %~dp0 :: CONTEXT MENU regedit /s %~dp0Context.reg exit

This is what I use to set my homepage with dual tabs for IE when doing a Win7 reinstall automatically Then I have my backed up Firefox and Chrome files saved to reinstall as well.. @echo off :: Browsers.cmd set primary=http://www.google.com/ set secondary=http://www.bing.com/ reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main" /v "Start Page" /t REG_SZ /d "%primary%" /f > NUL reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main" /v "Secondary Start Pages" /t REG_MULTI_SZ /d "%secondary%" /f > NUL :: For Firefox and Chrome :: Copy from Root of USB for %%i in (d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z) do if exist %%i:\sources\install.wim set usb=%%i: :: Variable set copy=xcopy /cqhysei ::chrome first run files (bookmarks,default page,theme) %copy% %usb%\wpi\copy\chromelocal\Google %userprofile%\appdata\local\Google>nul ::firefox first run files (bookmarks,default page,addons,plugins,menu bar) %copy% %usb%\wpi\copy\FFLocal\Mozilla %userprofile%\appdata\local\Mozilla>nul %copy% %usb%\wpi\copy\FFRoam\Mozilla %userprofile%\appdata\roaming\Mozilla>nul

Glad u got it working... Is Hidcon the same file as Batchrunner?

The REGEDIT /S Test.reg is not working in Win8 because of elevated privileges. So you have 2 choices. 1. Do the right-click and "Run as administrator" or 2. Just package your .reg file in folder with batch like my example, then it will merge to registry and run completly silent! Here is a working sfx .with .reg file that I just made for W8...

I add reg files all the time to W8 in sfx via batch file @echo off :: :: current directory cd %~dp0 :: :: variable values set reg=regedit /s :: %reg% "%~dp0\reg\My_Twks.reg upload your reg file on here and I will put it in sfx for you...

Why don't you just use WinToolKit 1.4.0.77 and create .WA file with all your twks then intergrate into install.wim ex. Tools > Addon Maker > Import Registry > Add *.reg

Explorer.exe is not reloading back to the desktop so just blue screen no dumpfile Only happens when using your silent switch, when you run normally installs and runs like it should. Curious if anyone else has tried to do the silent install and had the same thing happen? Tihiy, if you could use the /qn in future update that would make it totally silent as well instead of the basic auto-install and seeing the install progress bar

Some driver is crashing due to explorer restarting. To work this around, add taskkill /F /IM explorer* to your script. Tihiy, thanks for the suggestion but your only half right..If you kill the explorer process as you suggested your program still Bsod's out. You Have to restart explorer.exe or else you just get stuck in a endless looping Blue Screen. See my now Working script below which will also work in a sfx.exe package for integrating into Windows 8. btw why did you delete my original post?

On Win8 X64-bit When doing a Silent Install of StartIsBack (either v.1.1 and 1.2) System Crashes to a blue Screen and locks down then I need to do a force restart.. Anyone else have this Issue or an Answer for this? @echo off title, [START IS BACK v1.2.1 - Silent Installer] :: Windows(R),ProfessionalWMC edition x64 cd %~dp0 :: Silent Install StartIsBack_setup.exe /silent exit

msiexec.exe /i "7zx64.msi" /qb /qb = Basic ui with progress bar and if you want totally silent use /qn and NO progress bar

This is a dual 32/64 that I use works perfect and without ei.cfg, It Only shows the Windows 8 Pro X64 edition that you want then goes to format/partition then no more nag screens and straight to Metro. You can revise as needed with language, time zone, user name etc..Hope this helps
