I got a problem, nice guide though the problem is this Im converting all my WinRAR SFX installers to 7-Zip SFX installer, and im using 7-Zip on some Install Shield installers. One of them is Anti virus Kit 2004 from GData, and I had it installing fine before with the switches i use in the config.txt which is saved with UTF-8 encoding like stated in the guide. ;!@Install@!UTF-8! RunProgram="Setup.exe -s -f2\"%systemdrive%\avk.log\"" ;!@InstallEnd@! The setup.iss is in the archive aswell, and being as its ran from %CDROM% variable, it needs to have the avk.log assigned to it too according to the unattended guide made by Allanol. Any ideas?

Hey everyone, I made a 7-Zip installer for you This install the program in English, and has been tested and works fine 5 mb Uploading to somewhere now EDIT: My webhost doesnt like .exe by the looks as it says it cant find the file, although the link to the file is correct

omg, you have 3 topics on your program and its already been done before! Its calld WPI (Windows Post Install). How can you post 3 topics on the same thing?!!

Hey mate, the best way is to do this. Search in this section for the words nvidea compression. You should get a post from prathapml who made a nice .cmd file which will undo the nvidea compression. Get the .exe and extract the files to a directory, put the cmd file inside with the files and run it. Now I recomend a structure like this for drivers, D:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\009_Graphics\(all the files in here). The reason for this is when you format and reinstall a PC, its best to install certain stuff before others. So have 001_chipset for chipset drivers etc. As you can see by 009_Graphics, i install my graphics card drivers last. Then in winnt.sif put the lines: OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\001_Chipset;Drivers\009_graphics" Basically you have to point to the folder with the .inf file in it. Seperate each directory with a semi colon ( ; ). I recomend this because its maintainable. Using the compressor tool creates some problems. Some of the files it removes are needed for driver uninstallation, and windows complains that it cant uninstall devices. Hope this helps. Once you have this task done, there is a space saving method, but you need to get this right first Edit: 66.93 re still the latest WHQL forceware arnt they?

FX series = nvidea, not sure about the xt bit, thought ultra was the term given to high clocked GPU cards from nvidea.

its ok simon, thanks for helping anyway. I just find it weird thats all but I cant remember whats in RyanVM update pack 1.05 and his site isnt listing it atm as his server move is taking place. Reasearching that may shed some light as it only seems to happen after I put that into my UA DVD. Many thanks

So run the firefox.cmd before you run the installer? Maybe that my problem in the other thread simon? Although it was working before.

Hey SiMoNsAyS, thanks for taking a look at the thread but still a no go Internet shortcuts use the firefox icon, but HTML files themselves dont Below is a picture of a directory with some web design files that im currently making. Many thanks, im nlitieing another CD as we speak and hopefully another attempt will solve it

Yes making a profile is easy and is the best way to get firefox looking how you want. Just start up your default profile using the command in Astalavista's guide and customise firefox in any shape/way and form you usually would. I recomend installing the chrome edit plugin, this allows you to edit your prefs and user.js in which you can enter the tweaks you posted in your firefox tweak thread. Then once you have firefox looking how you would want it to/ install plugins and extensions you want. Go to %programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\Defaults\Profile and add all the files found in this folder to a SFX archieve, and set the archieve to extract to the same location above after the install of firefox. Remember to run the clear all button to clear passwords/cache/cookies and form data before you do this for size and security reasons in case someone got hold of your profile.exe. Whats happening in easy terms is: When firefox installs it creats this profile folder, and when you launch firefox it copies it to your application data folder. So that different users on the same PC can have a customised version of firefox. Doing the pofile.exe replaces the default profile before it gets coppied to yor application data folder, thus setting up the browser how you customised it. A word of warning: I found starting up an old install of firefox to use the default profile, and then editing the default profile made firefox mess up when you start firefox up normally the next time. The solution is simple. Uninstall firefox, delete the Mozilla firefox folder from your application data folder and then reinstall. DONT LAUNCH firefox straight away. Instead use the profile.exe you just used and then launch it. This will put the setting back to how you want and shows your profile works

Hey guys, I re-did my unattended DVD as I left out a few options the time before which were needed for the free Visual Studio 2005 beta I downloaded from Microsoft. I used nlite to integrate SP2, add RyanVM's 1.05 update pack and also selected all the tweaks like told by RyanVM in nlite to support the hacked files. I also removed some stuff from windows but none of the stuff highlighted with caution (in red within nlite). I then added my drivers using the Pnp drivers method, and then my installs and reg tweaks ran from cmdlines.txt and runonceEX. All my installs went fine and all my drivers are installed fine but there are a few problems. My first problem is that when I reboot my computer or turn it on, it wants to do a check disk all the time on drive G :/, Where is the command stored to tell windows to do a check disk on next boot, as I want to remove it manually for the time being. Is it in the registry or is it added to boot.ini? I think the next one could go into application installs, but its a windows thing as the install is fine and works just the cmd is doing nothing. So sorry if you feel its in the wrong forum mods. One is that since adding the 1.05 update pack (thats all I think I changed since it was last working) the assosiations for firefox are no longer set. I installed firefox making my own installer by editing the config.ini and packed it using winrar sfx. After that, the extraction is called and firefox installs, and then my profile is copied over which all works fine. Then firefox.cmd is run to set my assosiations and default browser but HTML files are now showing up with the unknown program icon .

I know in winnt.sif you can put ProfileDir="Path" or something like that, so you get documents and settings on say F:\drive. but this means that the desktop is also stored on F and will have to format F each time i go to format the system. I know you can move the my documents folder in windows by going to start and right clicking the my documents icon and going into properties. so is there a way to do this unattended. So I can just move the my documents folder. this would be a great help Many thanks

Shouldnt you still be able to do it because you are recording the installation after all. @Dynaletik I didnt see that other thread after you replied, good job on finding the .xml file. I looked into the xml file and you can see some application overide features. One thing that annoys me about this mouse. In games, to use the extra buttons I have to change the buttons to keypresses (like a letter or nuber) and then bind a action to that number in the games config. But doing it this way looses the cruise scroll function in windows and stuff. But maybe you can create custom application overisde strings in the .xml document so when in hl2.exe the mouse button will do something else.

Yeah I did use copy, just a typo on here. Im at college and have tutor walking around so gotta do things quick Thanks for the explanation

Is that DoIT!.bat a generic thing ? I have tried in the past to use the coby /b config.txt + compressedthing.7z + 7zsC.sfx installer.exe but this doesnt seem to work, I got this info from the evilvoice nero tutorial with a compressed .sfx usinf upx like he did in hs guide. Cant wait to try when I get home B)

=/ People still play consoles? I sold my PS2 ages ago to buy a better PC and never looked back. Consoles are too weak andy why pay for Xbox live when you can pay like that bit extra and have the internet on a PC to play online games and also do much more

4 days ago I bought a DVD Rewritter, so now I can use DVD and Cd's which is a great help. Can I create the ISO by using the right click Make boot iso as discussed in unattended window forum? If so, how do I burn it with nero. Are the options different to creating a boot CD? Many thanks

Hey MCT, I think it would be good to include the patch and also one without the plus patch because some people dont use it and are concerned its still detected as spyware although no sponsor is chosen There is a question which I might aswell pose to people in this thread being as this thread is suited imo. With msn Messenger Plus patch, there is a Settings backup wizard which generates a .pld file and you have to restore these settings using the same wizzard, is there a way of getting this to eb done unattended. I can only think of Autoit being suitable atm to lauch the msn program then the plus sub menu etc. Regards

Used camtasia when I used to do photoshop tutorials, can select a window to record so highly recomended and I think you can use any codec you like using the options.

Thanks alot for your help in this thread Alanoll, very appreciated.

Yeah I type in "help move" in CMD and it gives me a list, which I was working by. Thanks allanol, ill use task kill then on my apps the reason I ask for steam install. I know this should be discussed in app switches but to save another thread - basically I kill the isntall after i use sleep 25 on it, as it asks if i want to restart even with /S as its a wise installer. But I cant remember if steam launches itself after, so im going to put taskkill steam.exe anyway, will i get any error messages/problems if i try to kill a process that is not there?

I would think keep ATI and nvidea drivers seperate, Because if you have a ATI/Nvidea card why on earth would you want ATI ones on there if they are not going to be used? also with nvidea, when a beta driver comes out which is very good (before it goes WHQL) it can be eaily updated into the nvidea one. Nvidea leak betas like no bodys business.

Hey I did search for this but only got a thread which was resolved by SFX so I didnt get an example of the move syntax, anyway I need to move because I create some directories in my start menu and want to move the .lnk files within them to tidy up abit. So I was just testing now with a file on my pc but I cant seem to crack it.. G:\My Documents\Firefox Downloads>MOVE "G:\My Documents\Firefox Downloads\instal ler.ico "G:\My Documents" The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. G:\My Documents\Firefox Downloads>MOVE "G:\My Documents\Firefox Downloads\instal ler.ico "G:\My Documents\installer.ico" The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. G:\My Documents\Firefox Downloads> Any help appreciated. Also, intead of creating a new thread, pskill is part of windows XP Pro isnt it? Or do I have to download it and put it in $$\system32? Thanks again

Hey we have just finished TP in college and started Delphi and its easy because of the knowledge of pascal. but is there a way of outputting the data held within input fields into a certain location in a text field. Say for instance you have a field which says Name: [ ] and what ever is input there will be put into a specific location of a text file: name="[ ]" Thanks

About compressing the drivers dp.exe, can you do this for your own drivers? I have mine in drivers folder so i just need to make an archieve of that right? Just i was using the driver compressor tools but nvmixer the sound utility doesnt like it and doesnt install properly, so i might do this and leave all the files there.
