Just looked back at my sp2 (which doesn't show these screens) disk I did.. The only thing I see there I did different than the sp3 (which does) is set it up to use the classic setup billboards per the unattended guide.. I'm still messing with that disk and am going to incorporate that feature again... I'll let you know if that does the trick. Peace out, Don

DOH!! Thanks.. I 'll give it a try EXIT It's probably because of this line REG ADD %KEY%\66 try changing it to REG ADD %KEY%\066

right there with ya man. Been looking for a reg tweak or something.. Had this taken care of in SP2 but can't remember what I did

OK here is my RunOnceEx.cmd everything seems to be working ok up till I get to office. For some reason it is reversing the order of commands run here. IE It is running cleanup before office install. So I know why office isn't installing. But I don't know why cleanup is running first.

I'm getting ready to try and figure out which hotfixes I need (per the unattended guide).. did have one question though. Since I'm already running sp3 on my machine. I was wondering If I do an install on a virtual machine.. if it would see all the updates (post sp3) that I need or if it would also show the one on my physical machine (like it does for drivers)... I realize this isn't worded well but its difficult to explain. Hope someone understands it anyway Thanks

anyone have command line switches for gvim install?

Nevermind..

Extract with 7-zip and change the following line Run Mode=Normal to Run Mode=Silent. this also works for Thunderbird. then you don't need any switches.

is there a way I can extract firefox and thunderbird so it doesn't do it during unattended? Or does anyone know where it extracts the files to on setup.. I could just copy them from there I suppose

hmm strange. didn't find them. I found the kernel file (already extracted (exe version) in I386. Must have done something wrong. Didn't change my bootscreen. I'll keep after it.

following the guide at: http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/51/ I can not locate the follwing files in my source ntoskrnl.ex_ ntkrnlmp.ex_ I'm slipstreamed with SP2 as well as the latest hotfixes.. Any suggestions? I'm assuming that the original files from my original xp cd wouldn't work unpatched. Thanks

Tried it but for whatever reason it wouldn't work.

hey thanks again. I don't know how I missed that link

thank you. Is pathman already there or is there someplace I can download it? I think sp2 is really got me goofed up. I can't even delete accounts. or login with ones I've created.

maybe someone can look at my code and see if they can spot a problem this is an excerpt from my RunOnceEX file REG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "Updating Path" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Chpth.cmd" /f REG ADD %KEY%\035 /VE /D "Add a User" /f REG ADD %KEY%\035 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\user.cmd" /f and the correspondng cmd files path PATH=%PATH%;%systemdrive%\perl\bin Add user @echo off perl user.plx and finally the perl code #!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; print "Please enter a username: "; my $name = <STDIN>; chomp $name; print "Please enter a password: "; my $password = <STDIN>; chomp $password; print "\n"; print "Thank You\n"; system "net user $name $password /add"; system "net localgroup Administrators $name /add"; system "net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited"; I have a feeling these the path and add user problem lies in the fact that if the path doesn't work neither will the add user (since it needs to know where perl is). Because I can run it (the perl file) locally and it works. Thanks for taking the time to look at this.

does anyone know where I can get the files that are needed to finish the preceedure in the guide (installer, finish, etc)?

Does anyone have the files? I'd sure apperciate it

anyone know where I can find the file office.rar.html that is suppose to be at the link in the tutorial? I get a file not found when I click on it heres the link I'm refering to http://rapidshare.de/files-en/547358/Office.rar.html Thanks.

yes I was well aware of that link. Those directions are what I was trying to get help with!! At any rate I got through the first shrinking step, finally and that part is now ok (installing) Is there another location where I can get the office.rar.html file? the link says the file doesn't exist. Thank You

well.. Thanks for the help folks

Bump

hmm not sure on that one. I figured you could just copy the I386 folder as it has all the cabs. Could be wrong though, I haven't tried it.

sorry you lost me there. are you wanting to copy the source to the hard drive so you don't have to have it if you decide you want to install different options later?

create a batch file with the .cmd extension (ex office.cmd) and place in install directory. The way you were talking about in autorun will work if its a stand alone cd. The tutorial is assuming you want to put it on cd with windows and have it installed as part of the system install.
