Helo I am confused... I've been searching for advice on this. I have two VBS scripts that are on my desktop after an unattended install, called AutoArrangeIcons.vbs Quicklaunch.vbs How can I have Windows automatically run them? I have a final Cleanup.cmd file - can I just type Quicklaunch.VBS in that or do I need to use something else? Sorry to ask but I've searched and not found the answer!!!

What about Firefox 3 support, (as well as FF2)... Firefox is awesome but we need silent unattended custom installs!!

Add me to the list... I have an Eee and want it to last... Besides.. why is a Pagefile needed with 2gb of Ram or more?

Cool, I hope you'll post here as well as in your new thread so those of who have susbscribed to this will automatically hear about the release!

OK I might be being dense here but how can I set up my Z drive to ALWAYS be mapped to \\Diskstation\Private ?? If I do that I can have a CD install and call an install routine from my external NAS drive(s) and not have to rebuil disks every time I change the setup basics. Also makes testing changes easier and means the system can be pre-setup closer to its final state!

Did you ever solve this one? If so please let us know how...

Argh is there a tidier version?

No, the taskbar/toolbar remains locked so unless you UNLOCK it you cannot resize the Quicklaunch bar to see ALL your icons. Anyone any good at VBS (I'm not) could fix the script to also unlock the toolbar?

Does this method also Unlock the toolbars as otherwise you wont get to see your Quicklaunch icons. Is there anyway to automatically resize the toolbars or even specify the size to enable Quicklaunch to be fully seen?

U mean Symantec AI Snapshot which comes with Norton Ghost? I've used it but it seems to add a fair few extraneous bits of crap IMHO... its a full system compare before and after and inevitably only works well on a total plain virgin system with no AntiVirus, background tasks or anything else running....

I'm also on 293Mb.. seems all this does is remove the MSDE files and some setup stubs from the Files directory. And the Astalavista "compress" to 36Mb link is dead and the guide seems to be somewhat ancient... Oh dearie me... all knackered!

Did this work? I have my Nvidia drivers set to integrate with Nlite and it bugs me that I have that extension loaded and sitting in SysTray. I';d like it removed when the install is done, not manually afterwards!

I have Realtek ALC850 on my mobo. When I integrate the drivers for that with nLite I always get that irritating Realtek Sound Manager icon in the Systray and have to set it to not display. Is there a set of drivers where the the Sound Manager does NOT display icon as standard or better still does not load (is it needed at all?) Sorry if this isnt strictly on topic but this is the place for driver questions no?

For the purpose of this gude should a NForce 430 / GF6150 board be counted as nForce4 AMD ie 6.85 drivers or should I use the 6.70 drivers? Anyone know?

Not wanting to wind anyone up but as a CD/DVD burning package (I dont use Recode, prefer Shrink, dont use NVE, prefer DMF) what does Nero7 offer over Nero6 which can be shrunk quite nicely? BTW Zilexa's new install looks just perfect... hopefully will also allow silent customised installs?

GSM, thanks but your syntax IS wrong.. it barfs and doesnt get installed to registry... mine does... but doesnt do the required result!!! BTW I fixed VideoReDo... had to put a START into the script to get the installer to open in a new window and then wait 5 seconds and then taskkill.. its a kludge but it does work... Still having trouble though with fixing shortcuts/links

I'm pretty much done with my Unattended DVD but I have a few niggles I cannot sort... 1) One of my installs brings us a configuration wizard but it doesnt like to be killed with Taskkill yet I can kill from Task Manager easy enough REG ADD %KEY%\080 /VE /D "VideoReDo Plus" /f REG ADD %KEY%\080 /V 1 /D "%cdrom%\SOFTWARE\VideoReDo\VideoRedoPlusSetup.exe /VERYSILENT /SP-" /f REG ADD %KEY%\080 /V 2 /D "cmd.exe /c taskkill /F /IM VrdInstallWizard1.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\080 /V 3 /D "REGEDIT /S %CDROM%\Software\VideoReDo\MySettings.reg" /f Taskkill works fine for another job... is there a switch I need to change perhaps? 2) I'm installing the FREE DVD-Rebuilder app using a MSI installer pre-packed called DVD Rb Easy. Simple switches gets the thing silently installed but bungs shortcuts on the Startbar in a directory called Bavaria Inc and then in a sub dir called DVD Rebuilder Easy 1.95 Final. I have since updated the exe to latest free Rb and want to have the proper shortcuts in a Startbar dir called DVD-Rb. I am also trying to delete the illegal copy of DRMP it installs and then install my own INI file etc, move the links and then remove the Bavaria from Startbar. Can't see what is going wrong here either! REG ADD %KEY%\047 /VE /D "DVD Rebuilder 0.96" /f REG ADD %KEY%\047 /V 1 /D "%cdrom%\SOFTWARE\DVD-Rb\DVD_Rebuilder_Easy_1.95.msi /qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\047 /V 2 /D "cmd.exe /c del /Y \"%ProgramFiles%\Bavaria Inc\DVD Rebuilder Easy\DvdReMake Pro.exe\"" /f REG ADD %KEY%\047 /V 3 /D "cmd.exe /c del /Y \"%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Start Menu\Programs\Bavaria Inc\DVD Rebuilder Easy 1.95 Final\DVDreMake Pro 2.5.3.lnk\"" /f REG ADD %KEY%\047 /V 4 /D "cmd.exe /c del /Y \"%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Start Menu\Programs\Bavaria Inc\DVD Rebuilder Easy 1.95 Final\Easy Help.lnk\"" /f REG ADD %KEY%\047 /V 6 /D "cmd.exe /c copy /Y %cdrom%\SOFTWARE\DVD-Rb\Rebuilder.exe \"%ProgramFiles%\Bavaria Inc\DVD Rebuilder Easy\\"" /f REG ADD %KEY%\047 /V 7 /D "cmd.exe /c copy /Y %cdrom%\SOFTWARE\DVD-Rb\Rebuilder.ini \"%ProgramFiles%\Bavaria Inc\DVD Rebuilder Easy\\"" /f REG ADD %KEY%\047 /V 8 /D "cmd.exe /c md \"%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Start Menu\Programs\DVD-Rb\"" /f REG ADD %KEY%\047 /V A /D "cmd.exe /c move \"%systemdrive%\Administrator\Start Menu\Programs\Bavaria Inc\DVD Rebuilder Easy 1.95 Final\DVD Rebuilder Easy 1.95.lnk\" \"%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Start Menu\Programs\DVD-Rb\"" /f REG ADD %KEY%\047 /V B /D "cmd.exe /c ren \"%systemdrive%\Administrator\Start Menu\Programs\DVD-Rb\DVD Rebuilder Easy 1.95.lnk\" \"%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Start Menu\Programs\DVD-Rb\DVD-Rebuilder\"" /f REG ADD %KEY%\047 /V C /D "cmd.exe /c rd \"%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Start Menu\Programs\Bavaria Inc\DVD Rebuilder Easy 1.95 Final\"" /f REG ADD %KEY%\047 /V D /D "cmd.exe /c rd \"%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Start Menu\Programs\Bavaria Inc\"" /f Any help for someone whose eyeballs are going sore staring at this would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks!

Might seem a silly question but when U extract the files from the EXE you get two sets... all my machines are A64s so do I JUST need the files in the X64 dir or do I need both?

I cannot believe that something as often requested as this has not been simplified and included in something like nLite !!!! Surely someone can work out a fool proof way and tell nuhi so he can add it.... its the one big bugbear in my Unattended installs

I suspect this might HELP in getting a 100% and clear English instruction set... http://www.appdeploy.com/messageboards/tm.asp?m=9735

Not working for me QUITE!! Tried just Nero (ie no need to add) and Recode with "Nero Recode" in the MakeIt.cmd. Only got Nero and nero Express shortcuts, No Shortcut for Recode although it was installed. Also there is no Nero Digital support enabled in Recode. I think the Registry needs to add a key to get that working. Any ideas?

According to the AUTHOR you have to load the device driver and boot again before loading disk images. I need something I can load, mount image, install from image and (possibly) unload. As it was I solved the need for that one title I was doing but I'd still like to know IF there is a util that does what I want!

Yeah I did too... clearly we MUST be damned idiots since we are being treated as such. Oh and I also found mine now installs with Demo in the Startbar shortcuts cos it doesnt take the name, just serial. if I enter a name on 1st starting then it makes new shortcuts without demo. Seems to imply the script needs a serial AND a name?
