Not exactly true, the part with the "tweaked version of windows xp" this is a version of xp that requires volume licensing keys, not "tweaked keys" the keys used on this version of xp would only work with volume editions of xp, and not any other version eg retail... Sunil

Ok, do you mean modifying the major menu so that it has three major columns? Sunil

This can be done by simply adding the -s attribute to the setup.exe, it supports this. To get the setup.exe you need to extract the files from the sfx volume, you can use winrar to do this.. Sunil

Guys, I have tried both of the programs you have mentioned and have not had any of the problems that you have decribed, could you please give a screenshot of the error please or the text of the error. Sunil

I placed unrar.exe on the cd in \$oem$\$$\system32\unrar.exe, making the command available I'm not sure if making them self extracting files would be any better as far as compression, but I like to have unrar.exe in my path anyways. ECHO Extracting Applications... %systemdrive%\windows\system32\unrar.exe x %systemdrive%\install\apps.rar %systemdrive%\install I dont think this option would work, because it only works with winrar installed on the target system, so you could overcome this by installing winrar.. Sunil Actually it works great By placing unrar.exe into \$oem$\$$\system32 setup copies unrar.exe over to the %systemdrive%\windows\system32 during the installation And I have winrar 3.20 installing silently, with all the other apps I install after it has been extracted from apps.rar Ok, this would work because unrar.exe depends on winrar to do the actual decompressing. What I would like to know however, is how did you actually achieve the silent install of winrar.. Sunil

Guys, Windows XP Corporate is the 64 bit edition of windows xp, the ones that you guys are talking about that does not need activation is the Volume Licensing Edition otherwise known as windows xp Gold, thats the version most of us use. It uses Volume Licensing Keys, you try a ligitimate key on these versions and it would not work, but try it on the 64 bit edition and it would... Sunil
