Try the example Example of Autounattend.xml (just add your key) and i was referring to your initial problem with "Applications aren't being installed" : just add "Setupcomplete.cmd" to Windows\Setup\Scripts in your install.wim!

Look Here

Try "Setupcomplete.cmd" look Here for more info.

Check the example of Autounattend.xml from here

You can use this (with msi installer): INSTALLLEVEL : Property which controls which feature/s gets installed INSTALLEVEL=10 (set by default, install all features:"Phone & IE PLUGIN & Plugin for Firefox") INSTALLEVEL=1 (Installs the "Phone" feature only) INSTALLEVEL=3 (Installs the "Phone and IE PLUGIN" features does not install the Plugin for Firefox) example: msiexec /i SkypeSetup.msi INSTALLLEVEL=1 /qb To install without desktop shortcut use TRANSFORMS=:RemoveDesktopShortcut.mst To install without any shortcuts use TRANSFORMS=:RemoveAllShortcuts.mst To disable starting Skype automatically at logon use TRANSFORMS=:RemoveStartup.mst To disable Skype launch after installation ends use STARTSKYPE=FALSE To install for All Users use ALLUSERS=1 Example: msiexec /i SkypeSetup.msi INSTALLLEVEL=1 STARTSKYPE=FALSE ALLUSERS=1 TRANSFORMS=:RemoveStartup.mst TRANSFORMS=:RemoveDesktopShortcut.mst /qr

Even better add a key in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce" instade off a .lnk in Startup folder! using: e.g reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce" /v StartVista /t reg_sz /d "%systemdrive%\StartVista.cmd" /f

Try this DEL "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\StartVista.lnk"

Try this

You're right! Thanks! I've made the modification in the first post!

EXITNOTE: - The "Boot Drivers" are for Intel RAID/AHCI, just replace iaahci.inf and iastor.inf with your .inf files - "install.wim 4 " it's for Vista Ultimate change the number according to your Vista version - For Vista x64 replace x86 with amd64 - Please exit all other programs and use the built-in ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT ! even if (you run these batch in elevated mode) your account it's an administrator account and you have disable UAC, or you use "run as administrator". - Tested with Vista x86 & Vista x64 If you're using XP try add start /wait at the beginning of every command and delete all "choice" lines or get choice.exe from xp x64, or vista, or...

(Replace "iaStore" with iaStor) Rename iaStor.sys to iaStor.sy_ and copy it to i386 folder This is my txtsetup.sif [SourceDisksFiles] iaStor.sys = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1 [HardwareIdsDatabase] PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2822&CC_0104 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2821&CC_0106 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2682&CC_0104 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2681&CC_0106 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C3&CC_0104 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C6&CC_0104 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C1&CC_0106 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C5&CC_0106 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652&CC_0104 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652&CC_0106 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2653&CC_0106 = "iaStor" [SCSI.load] iaStor = iaStor.sys,4 [SCSI] iaStor = "Intel(R) ICH8R/DO/DH SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH8R)" iaStor = "Intel(R) 82801GR/GH SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH7R/DH)" It's working for AHCI too without any change because iaStor.sys it's the driver for ahci too. Just add to my code [sCSI] iaStor = "Intel® 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller (Mobile ICH7M)"

Yes a good one thanks !

Ok but It's true or just a joke?

The open source community is in a state of shock this morning at the news that Microsoft has released a version of popular browser Firefox ?? ?? The audacious move, which pretty well guarantees Redmond control of the entire browser market, will be received with dismay among those who previously believed that the might of Bill Gates' chequebook could, and should, be resisted. Naturally, Microsoft has made some improvements to the product, and the new features offered to Firefox fans include: More on http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/11/14/ms_firefox/

TXTsetup.sif it's for non GUI portion (text based portion) of the setup! and winnt.sif=sysprep.inf Many are using MAKECAB for iastor.sy_ but i just rename it and it's working OK! More here

This is my way for CD installation,but it should be almost the same for you 1. Copy iastor.sys to i386 and rename it to iastor.sy_ 2. Edit txtsetup.sif file from i386 [SourceDisksFiles] iaStor.sys = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1 [HardwareIdsDatabase] PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2822&CC_0104 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2821&CC_0106 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2682&CC_0104 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2681&CC_0106 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C3&CC_0104 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C6&CC_0104 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C1&CC_0106 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C5&CC_0106 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652&CC_0104 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652&CC_0106 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2653&CC_0106 = "iaStor" [SCSI.load] iaStor = iaStor.sys,4 [SCSI] iaStor = "Intel(R) ICH8R/DO/DH SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH8R)" iaStor = "Intel(R) 82801GR/GH SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH7R/DH)" 3. Edit Winnt.sif and add path to drivers (Drivers\01_iata;......) 4.Add all .inf and .sys files to drivers folder (Drivers\01_iata) Works for both RAID AND AHCI

Add iastor.sys to i386 and rename it to iastor.sy_

IaStor.sys it's the driver for both AHCI&RAID ! and windows it will choose automatically between iaahci.inf or iastor.inf

Hi! Forget Nlite just copy this : [SourceDisksFiles] iaStor.sys = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1 [HardwareIdsDatabase] PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2822&CC_0104 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2821&CC_0106 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2682&CC_0104 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2681&CC_0106 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C3&CC_0104 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C6&CC_0104 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C1&CC_0106 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C5&CC_0106 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652&CC_0104 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652&CC_0106 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2653&CC_0106 = "iaStor" [SCSI.load] iaStor = iaStor.sys,4 [SCSI] iaStor = "Intel(R) ICH8R/DO/DH SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH8R)" in your TXTSETUP.SIF file from i386 folder (at the end of the file) also copy iaStor.sys file from your floppy to i386 folder and rename it to iaStor.sy_ Then copy everything from floppy to your drivers folder from $OEM$ folder and add the new folder to your WINNT.SIF file!
