winRAR will expand cabs

Using resource hacker, I see that it requires mMFC library (which I guess I have, since I never saw a error) UNICODE and an XML file... can I editthe XML file to install? Any help is much appreciated

Okay, I searched the forum, I can get NOD32 to install but not configured. I tried running it in DOS with the -R switch to create a setup.iss file that did not work. I even tried the USSF.exe with helper.bin to figure out what kind of installer it used. aaarrgh! Does anyone know how to install NOD32 fully configured? Any help would be appreciated. Even help pointing me on how to identify the installer type would be appreciated, I might be able to figure it out from there. Thanks

What could be hapening isthe limit of 10 TCP connections available f or SP2 HAve you tried installing the lvllord patch? Check your event log and see if you are gettin a system event 4206 (I think) and if so.. thats the problem Also Try pingin all the boxs on your home domain. I doubt thats the issue though Make sure all boxes are on the same IP and subnet range, and that everyone is part of the same group Make surethat all of your computers have sign in WITH passwords and there are no blank passwords If you are on a domain, make sure that you give all computers access to each other. If you are in a workgroup, then you may need to go into the SP2 machines and manually add the other computer names as acceptable. There is probably a quicker way to do this, but I am not sure LOL

You can manually select the folders in DOS and use the ATTRIB command to assign new permissions this works for folders that XP wont relinquish control off or those pesky programs you install that WONT uninstall Type ATTRIB /? For a list of switches

Sweet, Thanks for the prompt response. I will pick up some DVDRWs tomorrow and try it out (still need to do an install and get all the pertinnent updates )

Actually this is wrong. One of the biggest problems with engines, was as they get larger they have to be larger to move them The only wayto achieve the speeds mentioned would be to have reindeer that mutiplied their weight to power ration by the exponent of thousands. After all if the jolly old fat man weighs 4.4 million pounds at full acceleration, how much more would the sleigh weigh? So obviously the 9 reindeer he has pulling for him could pull millions of pounds each That kind of torque to speed ratio is amazing? It also explains why most people do not see him. When moving at the speeds he moves at, 1/1000 second per household, the human eye would register it as teleportation also considering hte amount of sin and depravity in the world today, I seriously doubt that santa has 280 million homes to visit each year. (Probably more like 380 homes LOL) You have to figure in not just the obvious sins and activities but the non-obvious ones too. Just being good is not enough, as it is a christian holiday, so regular church attendence would be necessary So this seriously reduces the time/ weight ratio. Also if one hypothesizes that he uses some kind of time slowing device for the planet.. He has enough time to take a bite of cookie, drink some milk, and give his reindeer the celery or carrots that was leftfor them. Just thought that maybe Science is not all its cracked up to be rock on fat Man!!!

shell32.dll Do a search for it onyour box, then make a copy. Open it with res hacker and go from there.

Olay got my unattended DVD working almost perfectly. I have been doing a lot of testing in VM Ware and have only one problem left The ATI radeon drivers are not installing. I tried the low key method first (extracting the CX_somenumber.inf files and the cooresponding .cat file No luck So then I took the entire thing, ran it with -S and created a setup.iss file. The info I got still told me to point to the setup.exe file though. Still no luck. Is this because of VM Ware? I am pulling my hair out here. I have everything else figured out (including how to determine switches for software) and still only have this one problem I am running an athlon XP 2400 and an ATI Radeon 9600SE... Should I try installing the athlopn AGP patch before installing the drivers? Or is it only a virtual PC probelm (btw the manual attempts I made say No hardware is available for this software, but the device manager still says VGA compatable hardware with a yellow exclamiation point).

I ran into the same problem but fixed it another way. The first thing I did was look and see where it said it was extracting too. It turned out to not associated with the hotfixes ata ll but with on of the other scripts I copied and used. I think it was the components list. I thought I had edited to my liking but I completely missed all of the Inet Srev components I removed them (I am not going to run a server from home) and was fine. The other problem I had was withthe Highmat hotfix. I added /QUIET and it worked fine.

I am also interested in this. I have a 120GB HDD primary I want formatted into 3 partitions NTFS one 20GB for windows, one ~50 GB for Documents and settings and one ~50GB for Program Files This way I can kep my pictures and My music in the D&S folder and all my progs and games in the prog files folder (keeping everything nice and neat for XP. As it is now I am using WinXPE Bootdisk and preformatting before inserting the unattended disk...

WOOT! Thanks I know it worked because one of the tweaks I installed (dont know why was prevent driver rollback... and an error came up while installing .NET framework saying it could not continue!!! WhooRah!!! Thanks!

Okay unattended installation CD is working splendidly... just a few bugs to iron out (most notable the partiton thing, a few programs that require interaction and the big one. My registry files are not working correctly! It is not installing at all! I dont get error messages but I guess that is one of the problems with UA installation... I tried adding it via the cmdlines.txt file as well as adding it ot the runonceex.cmd file, and pointing it to the file of course So after install into VM Ware I figured, "Well I can manually put it in right?" R-Click and selected "merge" after double clicking it did not work and I get this error I modified the one posted in the tutorial (the big long one) to exclude some of the "unnecessary" tweaks, or things that I want. Like all of the components tweak since I edited them in the winnt.sif file. Anyway... A small snippet... ;Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ; ;======================================================================= ;======================================================================= ;======================================================================= ; Context Menus ;======================================================================= ;----- ;----- Makes a right click option for unknown files (Open with notepad) ;----- [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell] @="\"notepad.exe %1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\open] @="Open &With Notepad" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\open\command] @="notepad.exe %1" ;----- ;----- Add register / unregister to the context menu for .dll files ;----- [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.dll] "Content Type"="application/x-msdownload" @="dllfile" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile] @="Application Extension" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\Shell\Register\command] @="regsvr32.exe \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\Shell\UnRegister\command] @="regsvr32.exe /u \"%1\"" ;----- ;----- Add register / unregister to the context menu for .ocx files ;----- [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ocx] @="ocxfile" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ocxfile] @="OCX" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ocxfile\Shell\Register\command] @="regsvr32.exe \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ocxfile\Shell\UnRegister\command] @="regsvr32.exe /u \"%1\"" Should I just convert this over to the runonceex.cmd file? If so.. I am not really sure how to do that. I can understanding needing to set the key a couple of times, but the switches in the tutorial are not explained. (Just that they are used for any of the entries). A little research revealed this is basically how NT admins have been sending updates across network for years. Automatic updates via a registry. But does not say anything about registry changes, just additions. Grr. Any help please? (BTW The rest of my Win XP pro SP2 slipstreamed Office 2003 slipstreamed Front Page 2003 slipstreamed, NOD32 Antivirus/ Sygate personal Firewall/ Spybot search and destroy and dec16 update file all install beautifully, as well as all the drivers except my display driver. (A quick fix no doubt that I will look into shortly, I think I need to add the GART installer before I add the ATI drivers)). If I dont here back soon, I am going to strip all the comments from the reg file and use a utility to convert it to binary LOL then try and manually update in VM Ware LOL That will teach it to give me a binary error

Okay by preformatting the 3 drives I got most of the problems fixed in VM Ware It created 2 Program Files folders though. One on c: and one of E: I need to figure out how to get rid of the one on C: Then I think I can edit my batch to run E:\Program Files\Whatever rather then using variables. Gonna lok for a cure to the C:\PFiles issue and figure out why my autologon reg tweak is not working Then recompile as ISO and off I go !!

Okay that is the problem I have been running into with VM Ware. The second and third partitions are not formatted NTFS I keep getting Anything sent o $Progs as not found. Just one quick question. I put the apps I want installed to E: Progam Files into $OEM$\$Progs, but was just wondering what the %name% should be in the Batch File. I think Windows uses %Programs% As default for Program Files But since the CD uses $Progs, should I be using that? As in ECHO Installing SPYBOT ECHO Please wait... start /wait %Programs%\spybot\spybotsd13.exe /silent ECHO. ECHO Installing SPYBOT ECHO Please wait... start /wait %Programs%\spybot\update.exe /silent ECHO. ECHO Installing Sygate Personal Firewall ECHO Please Wait start /wait %Programs%\FW\spf.exe /QN Reboot=Supress ECHO. ECHO Installing Office 2003 ECHO Please wait... start /wait %Programs%\Office\PRO11.msi /QB ECHO.

Yeah I like manually creating the partitions, and yes you can have it set to happen automatically, I chose not to. Prefernce is all. Killer [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes UnattendSwitch="yes" TargetPath=\WINDOWS FileSystem=* WaitForReboot="No" DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore ProgramFilesDir="E:\My Program Files" CommonProgramFilesDir="E:\My Program Files\My Common Files" KeyboardLayout="US" is one part [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=0f5f9e9d8edc191fb09321e47427af3cfdc91d1ef721ed30df5fb0c9968d0216 EncryptedAdminPassword=Yes OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=35 OemSkipWelcome=1 ProfilesDir="D:\Documents and Settings\" Isthe other.. hmm I just noticed the script I copied says My Program files, and My Common Files.. I imagine you can remove that

You set your CD to install a preform partition guide, or set it up to require user input. I did this in my answer file. ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" AutomaticUpdates=yes

I am working on this myself. I made the default Docs And settings partition D: and the the default Prog files parttion E: So what I was thinking is that on the batch file I created, instead of putting the programs in $OEM$\1$\Install Put them in $OEM$\$Progs and change the batch to read %Progs% Instead of %systemdrive% Was just searching ofr the right thing to do when I came across this. Any help?
