  1. I threw this in my cleanup.cmd code Just renames the admin acct to whatever I want it, changes the guest name and diables it. So far so good. Now I boot up and the admin name is changed, which is exactly what I wanted. Problem is its only aesthetic. The name to logon to windows is the new name, even the windows startmenu name is now the newly changed admin name. But for all other purposes (Docs and settings is still named Administrator) everything is named Administrator. Now this may be the purpose of what I just did, and if there is no way to actualy change the administrators $Docs name I will have to create a user account that is basically the same as the Administrator acct. So how do I change the $Docs Admins name? If its not possible, how do I disable the administrator acct. And then ai create a user account with all the power of an Administrator acct. And then upon boot up the only name it should ever show on the logon screen should be the newly created user account. Thanks
  2. Is it the virtual machine or is it just me having huge bad luck? Thanks for your help.
  3. thnx Asta!!! Is this just for pro or will it work for standard as well? I can see 3 versions on Adobe's website. Pro, Stanard and a regular update im assuming works for both. Info from Adobe:
  4. Why use 6.2 vs 7? Just 1 small thing to add to what blink said. You might not find the msi inside of the Administrator tmp file, unless you are logged on as the Administrator. Go to run and type %tmp% this will take you to the logged on users tmp directory. I suggest deleting as much as you can before running the installer to get the msi easily. Reason I suggest this is some apps create random named .msi files and it can be a pain when you dont know the name of the msi file. For MSN7 if your interested: MsnMsgs.msi IAGREE="Yes" ADDEXPLORERTOOLBAR="" SETSEARCHENGINE="" SETHOMEPAGE="" /QN REBOOT=Suppress here is a reg file also for MSN Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ;Disables Autorun and Autologon [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "MsnMsgr"=- [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSNMessenger] "MainFrameHidden"=hex:01,00,00,00 "AppSettings"=hex:62,00,02,00 and as for DX9, as blinkdt said, it should be in SP2 and unneccesary to include. good luck
  5. Use RegSnap to see if its taken there, else look for a license file in the application data section. I cant find that app on google, so sorry.
  6. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. I dont use the WPI Add Wizard personally, I just open up the config.js and add the apps in manually. So my Apps arnt always in order (alphabetically). What I have noticed tho, is that sometimes (not all) when it is installing apps it will ignore the ordr=[x] on SOME applications. I give all my apps a number as I have a specific way I like things installing. I have however notices that the problem tends to arise the larger the numbers get. For instance. I have one application I run at 640 and then I have an application that runs at 1030. No I dont have 1030 applications but I like to have different kinds of apps seperated. But in a few instances the 1030 app installs before the 640. Which it shouldnt. I also have 2 apps in the 2998 and 2999. These are apps that I am testing and want to make sure they run dead last. But I have seen that they sometimes run before 600. I dont know if anyone else is experiencing this bug. Thanks
  7. Uhm, bug or something happened above my post isnt showing. Original post asked what people use to run their WPI. WINNT or RunOnceEx and the benefits of running it from one way over the other.
  8. @InTheWayBoy do you use WPI? and what version of DaemonTools? @Staples, sorry Im not sure how to do this. Ill google, but if you get the chance could you explain it a little. And if you mean in the installer, wouldnt everyone be having this problem then?
  9. I use the msi file, but no matter what switches I use I get the forced restart. Ive tried /norestart, REBOOT=Suppress and REBOOT=ReallySuppress with no luck. Im using 3.47.0 I have the same issue with Virtual PC and Alcohol, and Daemon. I abandoned using alcohol on my cd due to this problem, but now Alcohol gives me the same thing. I dont know if this is just a VM thing or what. Would appreciate any help anyone could give as these last 2 apps are what are holding my cd back from being ready to use.
  10. Am I the only one who has had this problem?
  11. Slipstream guide: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=35943&st=0 Inf way: http://unattended.msfn.org/beginner/hotfix/svcpack.htm (scroll down)
  12. Easiest way with the betas is to use an AutoIt script. then run like this: cmd1[pn]=['%SYSTEMDRIVE%\\Install\\MSAInstallAutoIt.exe']
  13. Ok, if your trying to install MS Antispyware from your cd do this: %systemdrive%\\Software\\MSAntiSpyware\\filename.ext %systemdrive% - the base hard drive, 99.9% of the time this is C: \\ the first slash \ is an escape so that the second \ shows up Software - change to wherever you keep all your software MSAntiSpyware - WPI in my experience cant handle filenames with spaces unless you wrap it in double quotes. So just do yourself a favor as just stay away from spaces. incase you want to use them its %systemdrive%\\Software\\"Microsoft Anti Spyware"\\filename.ext or "%systemdrive%\\Software\\MS Anti Spyware\\filename.ext" Whatever you fancy hope this helps
  14. Whats the difference between these 3? Is there a difference when creating an unAttended CD? Thanks!
  15. how about you dont lecture me about not reading posts and go ahead and read my first post again. You know what ill quote it for you. So you said to use REBOOT=Suppress... seeing as I have yet to test this ill get right on that.On a further note DaemonTools is an .exe, now how do you think I got the msi? Typing in msiexec in cmd I get this: So anyways, as I said most people the "/qb Reboot=Suppress" works normally. But I cant seem to find a way where it wont force a restart. Is there anyway I can do this another way? Thanks
  16. Youd think I havnt spent time searching huh. I think ive read every post on all 3. Most people use the switches I listed above without issues. Anyways to update. msiexec /i "pathtoProgram.msi" /qb /norestart Also forces a shutdown. So now I have no clue, if anyone can help in anyways please let me know.
  17. Ok there are a few applications on my uADVD which drive me up the wall. To name them they are: Alcohol 120% Daemon Tools Virtual Machine all 3 use an msi to install, and all 3 done this way will throw a reboot in 60 seconds no matter what(all testing is done in VM2004): appname.msi /qb REBOOT=Suppress appname.msi /qb REBOOT=ReallySuppress appname.msi /qb /noreboot I am in the process of trying it this way: msiexec /i /passive /noreboot appname.msi But im not confident it wont try and reboot again. can anyone shed some light onto what im doing wrong? Thanks!
  18. Ok so with further testing this application is 100% impossible to silent install. I have tried /r to create the iss and /s to install the tmp package extracts and then sits at the tmp extracted .exe. So I then found out you need to use the /a switch to get to the tmp .exe. So i tried the /s /a /s looks silent, no errors etc, but its not on the system. tries /s /a again looks silent but its not installed. I tried /s /sms which again fakes it, but its not installed Ive tried /s /a /s /sms fakes it I have extracted the main exe to get the tmp exe and tried all switches on that, and nope. So the only way now I can think of is to create an AutoIt script. But if they dont want to make a compatible installer screw them I will use a different app. If someone can recommend a good SSH client that can also do file transfer please let me know. i have tried putty but it doesnt seem to ever connect for me, even tho in SSH the same servers work. Thanks!
  19. Better yet make it an extension for firefox FIrefox's options have cache, history, temp files, downloaded files etc etc all stored. You could create an extension that runs with firefox and says, upon exit, clear all. Id do it if I knew where to start.
  20. Not everything is installed through cmdlines.txt, and its definatly not wise to do it then either. Whats the issue with running it with the "preffered" methods? RunOnceEx is more of an advanced method of an uA. I strongly suggest if you want to be a successful uA builder to start with batch files and then progress. Also if you need an uA fast I suggest you take a look at WPI. WPI may not help you perfect your batch knowledge, but then again not everyone needs to. Good luck
  21. Thanks Simon. I only have 1-5 and 7. can someone post 6? I cant find it on the net or reinstalling the quicktime player. Thanks
  22. in my uA I install K-Lite Mega Codec pack 1.3 first, then firefox. Every plugin ive tried works, (tested with about:plugins) but the only one that never shows up is Quicktime. Is there any other way I can get this plugin to work? Or should I install Klite normal (not mega) and then install Quicktime and Real alt with the switches for firefox?? I havent tested this method but I want it to work with Mega if it can. Thanks!
  23. This has to do with Daemon tools by MCT (see sig) but the app isnt the issue, its this command. rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 .\DaemonTools.inf I use WPI so \\ is neccesary After installing Daemon tools and DeamonScript (which work fine) I then go on to run the script %cdrom%\\Software\\DaemonTools\\DaemonDriveInstall.DaemonScript Version|1.5.4|2| DeviceCount|1| then I run my %systemdrive%\\install\\Daemon\\Daemon.bat rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 .\DaemonTools.inf the inf works I have installed it by itself, just uA it causes problems. It seems to work but then I get a shutdown ran from the administrator. I cant find the source of this shutdown call anywhere. %cdrom%\\Software\\DaemonTools\\DaemonTools.msi /qn Reboot=ReallySuppress %cdrom%\\Software\\DaemonTools\\DaemonScript.msi /qn Reboot=ReallySuppress is there a special way to run the rundll32 command in a uA? Thanks
