HKLM\Software\Eset\Nod\CurrentVersion\Modules\AMON\Settings\Config000\Settings Enabled (DWORD) = 1

Your solution looks interesting, Aztec. Never thought of doing it that way. There are some file located in the \updfiles folder, which may included the definition updates, along with some other components. I will try your method on a rebuild later in the week.

Enabling IMON is an option during an attended install. That is why it will not show as being enabled during a silent install and a reboot. The reg hack should work, as long as it is imported prior to the required reboot. I use mine during RunOnceEx, which does a reboot after all of my software is installed.

Stupid question, but is your copy of XP full or upgrade?

Used for installing .NET Framework and Media Center, as you alluded to.

Did the boot image get added in your burning software? I had this problem until I did a search on Google for the Microsoft Boot Image and used that one in Nero. No problems since then. If the image was used, you should get a "Press Any Key To Boot From CD" or something of that nature.

It can be silently installed (tested with nvmixer 1.0): This installation must be done on a current OS first. 1. Extract the files from the package. 2. Run the setup.exe file with a -R switch. 3. After installation is complete, go into c:\windows or c:\winnt and move the setup.iss file to the same folder as the install files. 4. On future installs, use this command: x:\****\setup.exe -s -f1\"x:\****\setup.iss\" Be sure to include the quotes. As it uses InstallShield, go here. As for installing it via svcpack.inf, I don't think it's possible, but I may be wrong.

ie6setup.exe /Q:A /R:N

No prob.

what does MFC mean? what does that do? An MFC DLL is a binary file that acts as a shared library of functions that can be used simultaneously by multiple applications. Source: MSDN

For ReGet, I just extraced the installer to a folder and ran the program from that location. Nothing on Mass Downloader. I've been looking for one for WinTools, without and success.

@nuhi: clean XP source, SP1a, and currently running XP Pro SP1a w/all hotfixes. I'll tinker with it some more today and figure out what the issue is.

Still waiting for it to build the file list, two hours after starting...

It is included in the MDAC hotfix and is used to install the patch. You can extract the .exe file and see it in there. When the patch is run, it will extract the files to a temp location and run the dahotfix it finds there.

Frinkster, Make sure your svcpack.inf uses the /Q:A /R:N switch. Here is a page on it.

Besides the noticeable differences in the way svcpack.inf and cmdlines.txt are coded, this question will not generate the "best" method to use. The "best" method is in the eye of the beholder, so you will get varying opinions on which ones to use. Personally, I use the svcpack.inf, mainly for the challenge of seeing how an .inf (thanks Gosh for the info on how .inf's work) works. Using cmdlines.txt is easy and only requires one file to be maintained. Now, some updates have to be installed separately outside of svcpack.inf, so you could probably use cmdlines.txt to catch those.

Make sure the following is in the [unattended] section of winnt.sif: DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore

1. Both machines in the same workgroup. 2. Either set the puters to run DHCP or static. 3. Make sure the router is configured for either DHCP or static, based on what your puter will be on. The users manual should have what you need to get started with.

ProductID is used for Windows 2000 unattended installs. Information on the command within the winnt.sif can be found in the Support\Tools folder in the deploy.cab package. For WinXP, it will be ref.chm. For Windows 2000, it will be unattended.doc. On tje [RegionalSettings], it looks like something is missing. Try here for more info.

Shoulda used his floppy disk version of Setup. Heh heh

Amen on that one, X-Mac.

They may not comment it, but here's the list: http://www.spywareguide.com/product_list_clsid.php

Deploy tools for SP4 can be found here.

I was not successful in using the method above to install apps during an unattended install of Win2K. All that happens is the Windows Update box opens, and each item is quickly highlighted. No apps are installed after the reboot.

Sorry, folks, no Beta release at PDC. It's not due until next year sometime.
