In which batch file would that be? A file for a specific program or cmdlines? I'm not using any "home-made" batch files yet...

I have tried everything imaginable, searched the board and internet and ripped my hair off. Still can't get my unattended to work quite like i want it to. So now I will post some images of the errors I get during install: First error: It says that it can't find the file C:\Program whitch is where I install all the programs to. But everything is installed cerrectly anyway. Second error: In cmdlines.txt i have a line that starts an unattended installation of McAffe AV 7.1 and it looks like this: "c:\Install\AV710SV\SETUP.EXE /qn" The switches are quick and no reboot, but I still get the above message Third error: I made a completly new image from scratch with nLite in witch I stated NO auto login. And I still get this... The problem occours everytime i boot the computer. Fourth error: When the computer boots into windows for the first time Windows SP2 firewall blocks this program (whatever it is). And it's just enoying Problems 1-3 are the ones that are important anyway. Some info about the Unattended installation: I Install everything from cmdlines using MSI packages or manufactor specifik unattended installations. During T-13 it also installs Novell Client 4.91 SP1 (Could be helpful?) CMDLINES.TXT:

I have 2 regfiles on my CD. One with my regtweaks and one .reg that comes with my novellclient. Regtweaks.reg: And the novellclient.reg

I've tried a lot of things now but there is no such file in my unnattended image. And It still complains when i boot it up I have to change something else in the image but I don't know where...

AutoLogonCount= should be in GuiUnattended?

I follow the guide and used nview to create a windows installation and I think i set the default password there. I can't seem to find autologon.reg though. I could just remove it or change it

I log on local. The password i set in the begining was correct but when i changed the password in winnt.sif I forgot how to change the auto-logon...

I have made a nice litte unattended installation now but I have somehow specified that the installation should try to log on automaticly and with the wrong password. This gives me an enoying err msg saying that the password was incorrect. How to I remove this from my image/winxp installation files location?

Yay! Thx. I've got the firewall all nice and shiny now I have a checklist I'm going through right now and it's getting smaller by the minute Thx a lot I still have problems getting programs to run after install but that I will sort that out shortly. One reg thingy still remains though... In properties for startmeny and advanced settings i wan't to disable highlighting of new programs... It's the second choise in that checkbox list...

Evironment variable is fixed now. Firewall ports still a big problem... Don't know where to start. And another regtweak I would like to add: I don't know what it's called in the english version but in the swedish it is "adapted startmeny" which creates the "arrows" in the startmenu and hides programs and folders you rarely use. I would like to disable it.

Ok, thanks for all the great answers. I'm in the testing phase right now where I will try to get everything to work. Thank god for Vitual PC Trial... Got a couple of questions too... 1. I need to add an "Environment Variable" that says remotepc=winxp through a reghack, how? 2. I need to open up 2 ports in the SP2 firewall and state that ping should be allowed for the internet connection.

The program you are referring to is simply McAfee Antivirus 7.1 swedish version. So you suggest i install it through GUIrunOnce? I've heard about RunOnceEX but never understood what it was... Do you have a link to a guide or something?

Thx for the help. I've got the reghacks up and running now. Now i need to get that batchfile to work. right now it looks like this: cmdlines.txt [COMMANDS] "REGEDIT /S regtweaks.reg" "programs.cmd" programs.cmd ECHO. ECHO Installing software... "start /wait C:\install\AV710sv\setup.exe /n" "start /wait C:\install\Acro6Swe\acro60.exe /n" But the programs are not installed... how should I edit theese? Programs.cmd resides in the $OEM$ catalog too.

I've read the guide and I think I've done everything but i can't seem to get cmdlines.txt to run my regfile during installation.. The regfile is tested and works properly. What I want to accomplish is that all this should be done before windows boots up for the first time. My cmdlines.txt: [COMMANDS] "REGEDIT /S C:\install\regtweaks.reg" "start /wait C:\install\AV710sv\setup.exe /qn" And in $1\Install i have regtweaks.reg: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ;Disables Windows Tour bubble popup [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Tour] "RunCount"=dword:00000000 ;Disable the Desktop Cleanup Wizard [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\CleanupWiz] "NoRun"=dword:00000001 ;Disables Error Reporting, but notifies when errors occur [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorReporting] "DoReport"=dword:00000000 ;Remove System Restore [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SystemRestore] "DisableSR"=dword:00000001 ;Drive letter first [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer] "ShowDriveLettersFirst"=dword:00000001 ;Remove passwords in IE6 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] "FormSuggest Passwords"="No" ;Remove Indexing Service [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CiSvc] "Start"=dword:00000004 ;Do not look for printers and shares [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "NoNetCrawling"=dword:00000001 ; Displays My Computer My Network Places and My Documents on the Desktop [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\ClassicStartMenu] "{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}"=dword:00000000 "{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000 "{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel] "{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000 "{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000 "{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}"=dword:00000000

I just made a WinXp Unattended installation witch works pretty good. Now I wish to have My computer, My Documents and Internet Explorer show from the beginning. Is there a switch for this or must I do some reg hacks?
