On this thread it says: KB873374 -› Microsoft GDI+ Detection Tool Download -› 216 KB (September 21, 2004) Switches: KB873374.exe /Q:A /R:N (HALT BOX) import this registry setting instead: REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\GdiDetectionTool" /v "GDITool" /t REG_DWORD /d "00000001" /f When i go here to download KB873374, it is no named KB873374, but gdidettool.exe. So i say ok, no big deal, i'll just use that. I import the registry setting: C:\Documents and Settings\root\Desktop\Microsoft GDI+ Detection Tool>REG ADD "HK LM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\GdiDetectionTool" /v "GDITool" /t REG_DWORD /d "00000001" /f The operation completed successfully and then i run the file, with the switches: C:\Documents and Settings\root\Desktop\Microsoft GDI+ Detection Tool>gdidettool.exe /Q:A /R:N The problem is, that i still get 2 warning messages: and What i'm i doing wrong here? Thanks

Ok. I just asked why, because according to these instructions, i must use the "/Q /O /N /Z" switch. But i guess KB890830 is an exeption. Thanks

It was very helpfull. Thanks

Ok, thank you But could you please explain why?

Cool. I guess i can do the same for all the updates, and totally drop the svcpack thing, right? Thank you.

This is my svcpack folder and this is my svcpack.inf After the installation finished, i visited http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and the update, number KB890830 was on the list of critical updates. I had no errors during installation, everything went smoothly. Can anyone explain why the update is listed in the windowsupdate critical updates? What tests can i run to see what went wrong there? Thanks Also, Microsoft GDI+ Detection Tool was not listed in the critical updates. Shouldn't be listed there?

I hate to be asking a question that has already been asked, but I can’t find a straight answer for the problem I have. If it has already been answered, please direct me to the link. I need my location to be “Cyprus” like below. and I need my language settings to be like below. Thank you and sorry for the trouble.

No, it didn't work. The image shows how it is. I want the deafult input language to be greek, and in the installed services, i want to have greek and english.

I didn’t find a definite answer. Please confirm. If I change my WINNT.SIF like this, will my problem be fixed? [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=4 SystemLocale=00000408 UserLocale=00000408 UserLocale_DefaultUser=00000408 InputLocale=0409:00000409 InputLocale_DefaultUser=0409:00000409 These are the relative topics i found. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=39213 http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...+Input+Language http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...+Input+Language

When creating WINNT.SIF I configured the “Use the default values for the following language” setting to “Greek” I also selected the “Customize the default regional settings” clicked on the “Custom” button, and configured “Language”, “Locale” and “Input Locale” all to Greek! In the “Languages” section I also selected “Greek” When the installation finished, the “Default Input Language” in the regional settings in the control panel was English. I want it to be Greek. How can I do that? This is my WINNT.SIF ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" AutomaticUpdates="Yes" [Unattended] FileSystem=* UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes UnattendSwitch=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=130 OemSkipWelcome=1 [Display] AutoConfirm=1 [UserData] ProductKey=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx FullName="Windows XP" OrgName="Professional" ComputerName=Windows [TapiLocation] CountryCode=357 Dialing=Tone [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=4 SystemLocale=00000408 UserLocale=00000408 InputLocale=0409:00000409 [Identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [Components] msmsgs=off msnexplr=off

No, the problem continues. Windows logs in as "Administrator" although in OOBEINFO.ini i defined a use with the name WinXP

oops. I'm sorry, i fixed it. I'll try it with a different name like you said.

Same problem. Windows logs in as "Administrator" This WINNT.SIF ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" AutomaticUpdates="Yes" [Unattended] FileSystem=* UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes UnattendSwitch=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=130 OemSkipWelcome=1 [Display] AutoConfirm=1 [UserData] ProductKey=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx FullName="Windows XP" OrgName="Professional" ComputerName=Windows [TapiLocation] CountryCode=357 Dialing=Tone [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=4 SystemLocale=00000408 UserLocale=00000408 InputLocale=0409:00000409 [Identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [Components] msmsgs=off msnexplr=off [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\start.cmd This is OOBEINFO.ini which i placed in $OEM$\$$\system32\OOBE [UserInfo] Identity000="WindowsXP" Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

After using "UnattendSwitch=yes" the installation finished just fine. No questions to answer, all the programs were installed. The only problem was the the user was not created, and windows logged in as Administrator. What i did, was, i created a OOBEINFO.INI file, with this information in it: [userInfo] Identity000="WindowsXP" And i just saved it in $OEM$\$$\system32. Is there anything else that must be done for this file to create the user? Any reference of this file anywhere else? I'll try it again today. Thanks.

After a fully automated installation, windows xp started for the first time, and a window appeared saying: "To improve the appearance of visual elements, Windows will automatically adjust your screen resolution." So i had to click "OK" (There goes the automated installation) Then another message appeared, saying: "Windows adjusted your screen resolution. If you can read this, click OK to continue." So i click "OK" again. Then, i didnt want to have the first winxp screen that says: "Help protect my PC by turning on Automatic Updates now." So i configured my WINNT.SIF [Data] AutomaticUpdates=yes I also didn't want the: - Checking your internet connectivity. - Ready to register with Microsoft. - Who will use this computer? screens appearing, so i used the OOBEINFO.INI Method. This is what i typed in my OOBEINFO.INI, and i put it in $OEM$\$$\system32. [userInfo] Identity000="WindowsXP" Obviously, i did something wrong. I also have a few applications that should automatically install after winxp setup finishes, but those get installed just fine as soon as i get pass the first configuration screens of winxp. What i want to do, is automatically get pass through these screens: - To improve the appearance of visual elements, Windows will automatically adjust your screen resolution. - Windows adjusted your screen resolution. If you can read this, click OK to continue. - Welcome to Microsoft Windows Thank you for purchasing Micorosft Windows XP. Let's spend a few minutes setting up your computer. - Help protect my PC by turning on Automatic Updates now. - Checking your internet connectivity. - Ready to register with Microsoft. - Who will use this computer? And add a user named "WindowsXP" This is my WINNT.SIF Thank you for your help. ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" AutomaticUpdates=yes [Unattended] FileSystem=* UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=130 OemSkipWelcome=1 [UserData] ProductKey=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX FullName="Windows XP" OrgName="Professional" ComputerName=Windows [TapiLocation] CountryCode=357 Dialing=Tone [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=4 SystemLocale=00000408 UserLocale=00000408 InputLocale=0409:00000409 [Identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [Components] msmsgs=off msnexplr=off [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\start.cmd
