I guess no one is able to burn to DVDs.

Ultra ISO does the same thing. The burn completes then the DVD shows up with RAW formatting. And yes I did check "DVD Disc" in Ultra ISO.

Using nLite 1.3 I've created my image and tested it via VMWare, no problems. The image is greater than 1GB. I've tried burning it to DVD's using nLite, Nero, Sonic and DVDDecrypter. The burn finishes without error but the DVD is unreadable and it does not boot. I've tried several different nLite created images. I've tried burning directly to DVD via nLite bypassing the image creation. I've tried creating a boot DVD in Nero using the boot.bin file in nLite and adding the files to the project. I'm at a loss. I've burnt other boot DVDs using the same drive and media. Ex. linux DVD's.

Ok it took the AgreeToLicense property. For some reason it will not in my VMware test environment. Though even with the AgreeToLicense property set, installing via /qb does not work. With /qb it copies 2,410 files. If I install manually, mind you all properties are set all I have to do is click next next next next install, it copies 2,823 files. I guess I'll stick to my script.

Thanks everyone for your help. I was able to set the QB_LICENSENUM and QB_PRODUCTNUM fields as well as INSTALLDESKTOPICONS and CKBOX_GDS but it still will not install silently and my assumption is because it is not accepting the license agreement. I've tried setting the AgreeToLicense property by setting it to Yes via command line and also saving it in the property field but none the less it always defaults to no. I can check this by running setup without the /qb option and just stepping through the dialogs to see what has been set. Again thanks, Ray

That is what thought. Since I do not see a property for license # and product # for quickbooks.msi(2007) I guess I'll have to write a script. Thanks

How do you find you what properties can be set for an MSI like for quicktime 7.1.3 it has two properties DESKTOP_SHORTCUTS and QTPROGRAMMENUFOLDERNAME (found in another thread) so the command line would be QuickTime.msi /qb DESKTOP_SHORTCUTS=FALSE QTPROGRAMMENUFOLDERNAME=Multimedia\Quicktime

Well I tried adding quotes but still. entry before cmd1[pn]=['%CDROM%\\American Mcgee\'s Alice\\Auto Install American Mcgee\'s Alice.exe']; after cmd1[pn]=['%CDROM%"\\American Mcgee\'s Alice\\Auto Install American Mcgee\'s Alice.exe"']; error cmd1 *** Fail *** (returned code undefined): "D:\\American Mcgee's Alice\Auto Install American Mcgee's Alice.exe" after cmd1 *** Fail *** (returned code undefined): "D:\"\American Mcgee's Alice\Auto Install American Mcgee's Alice.exe"" The %CDROM% variable always defaults to D:\ when autorun "shellExecute=wpi\wpi.hta" is used to launch WPI which is fine if my drive letter is D but it is not I was under the impression %CDROM% would equate to the actual drive letter If I manually execute wpi.hta located in w:\wpi\wpi.hta it seems to set %CDROM% to "W:\WPI" which is the correct drive letter but not the root of the drive but the actual directory of where wpi.hta resides. error cmd1 *** Fail *** (returned code undefined): "W:\WPI"\American Mcgee's Alice\Auto Install American Mcgee's Alice.exe""

what am I doing wrong using WPI v5.3 i have autorun.inf as [autorun] shellExecute=wpi\wpi.hta ICON=wpi\tools\WPI.ico which seems fine as it launches say I want to launch "Universal Silent Switch Finder.exe" in the wpi\tools folder this is the command i have to launch it %CDROM%\WPI\Tools\Universal Silent Switch Finder.exe (it is the correct path) if my CD is drive D: it works, here is the log cmd1 Success (returned code 0): ""D:\\WPI\Tools\Universal Silent Switch Finder.exe"" but if it is not drive D: I get an error, here is the log cmd1 *** Fail *** (returned code undefined): "D:\\WPI\Tools\Universal Silent Switch Finder.exe" shouldn't %CDROM% equate to the actual drive letter and not just D:\ if I launch wpi.hta manually it has the correct drive letter but the wrong path, here is the log cmd1 *** Fail *** (returned code undefined): "R:\WPI\WPI\Tools\Universal Silent Switch Finder.exe" (looks like the actual path of where where WPI.hta resides, not just the root of the drive, + the path I code)

FYI x64 stores this file in system32 but since the app that runs your script (mshat.exe) is only 32-bit it referances SysWOW64 instead of system32

no so buch a bug but i get a runtime error if i've added any audio files that have an ' in the filename

Add the following registry entry to disable the taskbar icon. It won't stop it from running after the install but it will stop it from running after restarts. x32 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apple Computer, Inc.\QuickTime\ActiveX] "QTTaskRunFlags"=dword:00000002 x64 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Apple Computer, Inc.\QuickTime\ActiveX] "QTTaskRunFlags"=dword:00000002

When i tested with 'FullUnattended' if you press 'F6' setup repots error copying messages when it asks you to insert the flopy and press enter. But I also noticed that if I leave the floppy in the drive but do not press 'F6' setup automatically scans the floppy and loads the drivers on it. Do not know if this is true for all people but I just noticed it once. I have not throughly tested it. EDIT: Ok I re-tested and it did not work. And I am not sure what I did before when it did work.

desktop, through device manager. i do not know how to check in GUI setup.

@BTS as per mark49 I am not sure what editing the entries in drvindex.inf would do but I can attest this: I integrated your DPs. But after windows was set up I checked the driver and the ultra.sys driver was the one included in windows cabs not the one from the DP. I thought the newer one from the DP would have taken precedence but I guess windows prefers the cabs. Anyway thanks for the great work!

I made a clean folder from a Volume Licensed XP SP 2 cd then added my winnt.sif and GUI setup screens then added all the DriverPacks v5.026 (method 1). Made an ISO and ran it on VMWare. It ran txtsetup fine then GUIsetup fine but after reboot i got a BSOD similar to glents ,only the HEX code was a little different. So I ran setup in safe mode to see what was loading and I noticed the 3Ware drivers are loading. But it should not be (should it) b/c I am running it on VMWare which does not have any such controllers. BTW BtS I admire what you are attempting to do. This driver pack thing is awesom. I hope all the comments do not get you down.

Ok, I am not sure if this has anything to do with it but it seems a bit suspicious to me. Using VMWare. I booted using safe mode and looking at the files it is loading it shows 3ware drivers are loading. Is this b/c they were loaded into winnt.sif? Should they even be loading?

@Ghostrider Yeah I noticed that also. Also I don't know if this is bc I'm using VMWare to test but if I have the MassStorage DP on my CD I get a BSOD after WXP has been installed and is booting up the first time. The technical info is: *** STOP: 0x0000007B (0xFA2C2528, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) I can only assume that setup loaded incorrect drivers for the VMW controller. Is this common when using the MassStorage DP on VMWare?

@moesasji On my retail volume license XP SP 2 CD the file aecd6280.sys does not exist. Afte I slipstreamed the Driver Packs (all) the file was still missing. I could not find it in the mass storage driver pack. Perhapse you need to add it manually or ask BtS to add it to the pack. EDIT I googled it and all i found was aec6280 (no D) is this what you meant bc it IS in the DP but I do not find that it is slipstreamed into the txtsetup portion.

yeah 2 popups displayed, one stating it couldn't execute C:\DP\G\Graphics_Control_Panels.cmd and the other listed C:\DP\S\Sound_Control_Panels.cmd so I checked in windows explorer and the folder DP did not exist. But I am new at this so it is probably something I am doing wrong.

This is no error. When you use method 2, files will be decomprssed by the presetup.cmd file. Then the files WILL be on the harddisk like %SystemDrive%\DP\G\Graphics_Control_Panels.cmd! ← true they are decompressed but REM RD /Q /S %SystemDrive%\DP removes the directory before it reboots execute those commands

Also PRESETUP.CMD RD /Q /S %SystemDrive%\DP removes the directories referenced in WINNT.SIF [GuiRunOnce] command7="%SystemDrive%\DP\G\Graphics_Control_Panels.cmd" command8="%SystemDrive%\DP\S\Sound_Control_Panels.cmd" so at the first login 2 error messages are generated

I had a few problems with it. TXTSETUP.SIF 1564U3-2= "PM1564U3 Ultra3 Dual Channel changed to 1564U3-2= "PM1564U3 Ultra3 Dual Channel" --- PM3754U2= "PM3754U2 Ultra2 Single Channel (NON ACPI) changed to PM3754U2= "PM3754U2 Ultra2 Single Channel (NON ACPI)" --- hpt366= hpt3366.sys,4 changed to hpt366= hpt366.sys,4 --- setup could not find dacw2k.sys is it supposed to be dac2w2k.sys? ar352= dacw2k.sys,4 exr2000= dacw2k.sys,4 exr3000= dacw2k.sys,4 -------- And I couldn't figure out how to solve problems with the 3ware drivers. I tried the following but I ended up commenting out all the MSDs and OEMs in WINNT.SIF TXTSETUP.OEM scsi = AMCC1 to scsi = AMCC2 -------- WINNT.SIF "AMCC 3ware 9000 Series SATA RAID Controller for WINDOWS"= OEM to "AMCC 3ware 9000 Series SATA RAID Controller"= OEM
