[Would it run?]

Dude, I have a perfectly decent system. I just want to get my old system up and running again.

I was wondering because it runs soooooooo slow at the moment with Windows 98. But after I worked on some old laptops on the NT core I though I'd give it a try.

And no, I don't plan running Half-Life 2 or something like that.

Maybe creatures or the sims... it's only to get my sister away from my good computer.

[Would it run?]

Yeah, I'm probably gonna release one of my homebrewed Lite uA's on it.

Now, to continue this topic, would it run GOOD? I mean, not slow etc.

[Would it run?]

Pretty obvious title.

I want to blow some new life into my old bugger since I'm in desperate need of two PC's. It has these specs:

- 1300MhZ Celeron

- 128MB SDRAM (upgrading to 256 prob)

- TNT2 32MB

- 20GB HDD.

It's currently running Windows 98SE on it, so I'm asking, would it run good on the described machine, or at least waaaay more stable than W98.

Tnx in advance.

[Unattended XP SP2 CD]

*bump*

Same problem, it's in VMware, but the bugger gets 240MB of memory. I want this CD to work on 256MB computers, so I'm hoping to get rid of this error.

Anyone know a solution?

[Acrobat Reader 7 install problems]

Tnx, gonna try it on my next install.

[[VBS] Creating users]

How about deploying this uA CD in a professional environment?

It's all about learning, don't get mad.

[Acrobat Reader 7 install problems]

Thanks!

I decided to stick with the RyanVM installer for now and make my own pack later, when the Dutch version is released. So now I can go complain about some other problems I have.

Edit: EXACTLY the same problem with RyanVM's. "Error 1706: no vallid source could be found for the product." after the first boot of ar7. Then it shuts down.

Edit2: looks like it was the moving of the plugins which caused the problem. Strange, as it worked fine a couple of days ago.

[[VBS] Creating users]

The dude guiding me through this project says you can do way more security stuff with vbs than with net user. He said I MUST do it that way. :/

Alas, I know nothing about VBS.

[Acrobat Reader 7 install problems]

Problem is, that's the english version. I want to be able to switch to the Dutch version when it's released.

The problem you mentioned, can it be solved?

or

How did RyanVM make that pack?

[[VBS] Creating users]

Hi, I'm looking for way to create a lot of users in Windows XP. And if possible, to make them expire at a certain time and/or other secutiry possibilities. It has to be done with VBscript (it's for my Windows uA CD).

I hope you can help, since I know very little of this language.

[Acrobat Reader 7 install problems]

But I _do_ install everything in T-12 and from CD. When I was instelling everything on first boot and from HDD it worked like a charm.

It DOES install, it just wants to configure afterwards, needing the original MSI.

[Acrobat Reader 7 install problems]

Hmm, in the beginning I deleted a couple of files, I only have the MSI and the CAB file left. So I guess I need setup.ini too?

Ty, gonna try it out now.

[Guide: Mozilla Firefox Unattended]

Config value "accessibility.browsewithcaret" should be "false". Maybe it's configured wrong?

[Guide: Mozilla Firefox Unattended]

Well, err, I don't exactly understand ur question.

But check if Tools -> Options -> Accessibility -> "system caret" is turned on. It should be off.

[Acrobat Reader 7 install problems]

Sorry, but where? Couldn't find any .ini file. :/

[Guide: Mozilla Firefox Unattended]

I use the official MSI build and it works fine for me.

It does make this extra folder tho, but I jsut delete it in my cleanup.cmd.

[Acrobat Reader 7 install problems]

/QB is a progress bar

But that's not the problem, let me try to explain it

- Windows installs

- at T-12 all applications installs

- First boot

- I open Acrobat Reader 7

- Launches a MSI windows syaing it's configuring acrobat reader.

- Pops up a "insert disk" error

I want Acrobat Reader to boot normally after a first install, without having to insert my disk just once.

[Acrobat Reader 7 install problems]

Allright, I got a problem with the latest ar7 and I can't seem to solve it (yes, I've searched ).

After the installation of my uA CD, I try to open Acrobat Reader 7. It gives a "configuring"-MSI progress bar and then says it can't find the CD. How do you get rid of this bar? It would be great help if you could help me. I'm all new at this Unattended stuff.

If it matters, here's my installation code:

 <item display="Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0">
 	 <execute display='Programma'>
    <program>#SOURCEDRIVE#\Install\Apps\ar\Adobe Reader 7.0.msi</program>
    <arguments>/QN</arguments>
 	 </execute>
 	 <execute display='Snelheidsaanpassingen'>

[Current XPlode4 beta]

Well, two weeks I go I gave it a go with the current build, and I did something wrong. I didn't really care so I decided on working with RunOnceEx (which was also a whole new concept to me ).

Now, with way more experience, I tried this XPlode4 and it rocks! It looks so much more professional than any other solution. Thanks Wraith, u rule.

Two questions tho:

- This one's probably answered yet, But I'm gonna ask it anyway. Is every program able to install in the T-12 stage? It sound totally not logical to install stuff when Windows isn't even loaded yet.

- Second, these usergroups, do they only work on XP Pro or with a network? Is it basically using "net group"? Not that I need them, but I'm curious.

And tnx again for this great tool, keep up the good work.

[cleanup.cmd not working]

Some shortcuts (Internet explorer shortcuts) are not created until the first time when you log on to your desktop, this might be causing some problems.

Any way to remove those too?

[Executing a batch file _before_ Windows install.]

lol, whoopsy

No, I want it to be fully unattended. See, the least it should do is to format the entire drive to one partition. Automatically. I want to plug in my disk and only press enter one time in the beginning.

I found a bit of a workaround. But if anyone knows how to create partitions via percentages (like in FDisk) in the unattended install. Lemme hear it.

[Executing a batch file _before_ Windows install.]

Alright, I'm working on an Unattended Install and coming around quite nicely.

The biggest problem I have for now it's not funny unattended, it keeps asking for the partition if Windows is already installed. I don't want this. From what I've read on these forums, it isn't possible on correcting this issue with winnt.sif.

My solution is a bit more complicated. Let me draw a lil' timeline to explain it.

1. PC boots

2. "Press any key to boot from disk..."

3. FDisk starts formatting and creating partitions

4. normal windows setup starts, sees first empty system partition, installs windows without asking.

Is this possible? I would GREATLY aprreciate your help!

EDIT= n/m, I've found a bit of a work around
