Sidekicks

Can anyone access his site? I've been trying for a few days and can't get anywhere. Did he take the site down?

crap.. i'm going to have to do this by memory! thanks

holy crap! what happened to the pics in this thread!?? they're missing!

Try to hit ctrl+alt+delete... bring up the task manager and then goto File.. and run EXPLORER. That should do the trick..enough to get you going and troubleshoot. A-

I've tried all of that and the same thing. I found in my i386 directory that there were several unattended.txt files. I'll let you know what comes about.. Astalavista.. I didn't use nlite on this. Good thinking though..I used it at work but not at home. Thanks A-

You should put those reg keys in a batch file and have it execute. Look in the unattended guide on how to import registry fixes.

I've tried the *... same thing.

what does the * do?

Astalavista, When I tried to change the computer name of the machine, I get this error: The following error occurred validating the name "CPU". You were not connected because a duplicate name exists on the network. Goto System in Control Panel to change the computer name and try again. Any suggestions on this? Here's my winnt.sif file on UserData: [userData] ProductID=Serial goes here FullName="-" OrgName="--" ComputerName=CPU I don't see anything wrong...or am I overlooking something? Thank you for your help

the real pc which I run VMWare on is named 'HOMER'. Yes, I use the Simpson's family as names. Makes things easier! anyway, I try to change the computer name inside VMWare and it won't let me. It gives me an error but I don't have it with me now. When I get home from work, i'll write the error down. Andy

Hi there, I was doing the unattended setup and I have my computer name setup as 'CPU' on a workgroup called 'NETWORK'. Upon installation in VMware with no other VM machines, I get an error that says 'DUPLICATE NAME EXISTS ON THE NETWORK'. I go and check the computer name, its a random computer name! For example, "KSJDJFIEWLKNDS". In my winnt.sif file, the computer name is specified. I've tried it with and without quotes but I get the same thing. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi there, I just finished putting in PowerDVD5 for my unattended, but I just ran across another CD that says Power DVD XP. Is this the same as Power DVD 6? and yes, I tried a search already. Thank you.

IT WORKS!@#! Thanks Warrior, MCT and totoymola!!!!! Much apprecaited. Happy holidays! Andy

Now when I try running the command REG ADD %KEY%\070 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\Acr6pro\AcroPro.msi /QR" /f i get an error.. ERROR 1606. Could not access network location c:\program files\adobe RETRY or CANCEL. I tried to run it from the C drive and the cd rom, but same thing. I'm stumped! Andy

Thanks for your reply. Now,do I need to add in a registry file also? I'm gonna try it now and see what happens. Thanks MCT and warrior! A-
