Ah ha! I've solved the mystery! If you read the guide to EasyBoot it says... 1) Make a folder named 'xpen' under 'c:\easyboot\disk1' 2) Copy 'win51' and 'win51p' (from root directory of original CD) to 'c:\easyboot\disk1' 3) Copy I386 folder to 'c:\easyboot\disk1\xpen' Where really it should say copy win51, win51p etc into both disk1 and xpen

I'm experiencing the exact same problem. did you ever find a solution?

Hi All, I'm having a few problems with my EasyBoot disc. I've done the following... Copied the i386 folder from a XP Pro SP3 OEM disc Copied and ran the wxp.bat (which copies the necessary files) Ran the EasyBoot Replace Tool on - boot.bin to replace I368 with WP3O - SETUPLDR.BIN to replace i386 with WP30 Edited TXTSETUP.SIF in notepad to change path to \WP30 It boots fine, i select the version but then gets so far into the Setup then asks for the SP3 CD to install ASMS. Any Ideas!?!

i have the same problem. Im installing IE7 via batch and i'm left with the updates failing to install

I believe Server 2008 has SP1 built in from day one (RTM). MS decided to include kernal fixes which were released in Vista SP1 rather than releasing a Service Pack seperately. The first 'real' service pack for 2008 will be SP2. for more info, see here. Spike.

Hi All, Following the updates i installed last night, i woke up to see my PC had rebooted and vista was 'Configuring updates' I've left this going for hours and its still stuck on the screen!! a reboot brings me to the same issue. Any ideas? Dan.

i do totally agree - i use eTrust Internet Security Suite which is wayyy better. But unfortunately my customers insist on using Norton.

I'm making an unattended WinXP Pro Install but i'm having problems with firewalls not letting programs through. is there a way to configure both Norton & Windows Firewall to allow certain programs to access the internet?

Hi, i'm having difficulties with a Silent Install of RealVNC. Well i've got it installed ok but im having problems setting the default password? Any ideas?!

No i havnt tried that?? Any chance you could tell me abit more info bcuz it seems alot easier Cheers Dan.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!! The working code is as follows... CLS @echo off TITLE Windows XP PRO w/ SP2 - Unattended Installation ECHO. ECHO Nearly Done!!! ECHO. ECHO Removing stupid shortcuts... DEL "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Set Program Access and Defaults.lnk" DEL "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Windows Catalog.lnk" type nul>%temp%\~YesOrNo.tmp echo Would You Like To Install Office 2003 Pro [y/n]? del /p %temp%\~YesOrNo.tmp>nul if not exist %temp%\~YesOrNo.tmp goto Yes Echo Selected "No" del %temp%\~YesOrNo.tmp goto end :Yes Echo Selected "Yes" ECHO. ECHO Installing Office 2003 Pro ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb- ECHO. ECHO Restarting the PC in 10 seconds... shutdown.exe -r -f -t 10 -c "Windows XP will restart in 10 seconds, this will give enough time for the shortcuts to update and for the shell to fully load before its ready to restart!" :End ECHO. ECHO Deleting Temp Installation Files... RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\install EXIT

First of all i'd like to say thanks to everyone for this creating this great forum. I've been reading posts for most of the day and i've learn loads!! I've created a DVD with XP Pro w/ SP2 + Drivers + Office 2003. All of which are working perfectly and there is more soon to be added. But anyway, Office is installed using a batch file but is there a way to have a simple Yes or No question in a batch file?? Basically so it waits for the user to say wether it wants this program installing or not by pressing Y or N?? I know thats taking away the whole 'unattended' idea but it would be very helpful to me. Cheers Dan.
