I, dont think there are any books, however there are many online articles, eg MSFN's own guide to writing the scripts, just check under the main guides heading on the main menu on the left of the home page... Sunil

I dont think there is a way, active desktop, when enabled, disables transparent backgounds. So if you can figure out a way, please let us in on it. Sunil

Guys, DirectX is a programming platform for games, it allows for some of the most advanced effects in gaming, its so advanced that many of the graphics cards made today are built with support for directX 9, in-fact without directx 9 the ATI cards would not perform as they should, so you see it is necessary to have DX9

Did you check out the unattended install site on MSFN.. Sunil

Wouldn't the @echo off command also achieve this.. 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

Keep working on it, you will succeed. Sunil

This is fairly simple to acomplish using the net user cmd when used in a batch file here is the sintax NET USER [username [password | *] [options]] [/DOMAIN] username {password | *} /ADD [options] [/DOMAIN] username [/DELETE] [/DOMAIN] you can use that to create a use account from a batch file that will then automatically be logged into when you start windows, but only if you dont have a password assigned.. Sunil

Hey DMystikaLD check that out Link

I have no idea about the RAID thing but will do some checking for yah.. Sunil

In theory, using the super cd u can create batch file that will install the programmes you already have on your already exsistent program cd, its quite simple eg. %driveletter%/%program% %switches%, this should be able to work.. Sunil

What installation engine does macafee use.. sunil

Wouldn't it be possible to copy all the favorite files over to the favorites folder, under win xp and rthen it shows up in the favourites menu??? Sunil

No way, this is a time saver , however by doing the installs over and over you get quite good at it..so i guess you could say you are right in that respect.. Sunil

Hey guys, does anyone know if the new Unattended cd subsite will be updated if new info becomes available or will it remain unchanged??????? Sunil

ArronXP, Excellent work on the unattended setup page, it really clarifies a lot. I hope to see this type of dedication from MSFN to the wider internet more often.. Sunil

Hey, to edit the winnt.sif file in notepad all you need to do is right click on the file, select open with and then select notepad from the list of available programmes, if you want to open the sif files with notepad all the time select "always use the selected program to open this kind of file option" and files with sif extension will always be opened with notepad.. Sunil

It is not possible to change the size of partitions using the drive management feature under windows, to do this you will need an unformatted drive to do this, to partition a formatted drive you need a third party tool to achieve this..such as partition magic.. Sunil

True, True, you should check the version of the messenger you are downloading...... Sunil

Ok, thanks will do, im gonna test it now and will get back to you on performance and any probs encountered... Sunil..

I checked the link out, were you tring to show me the RAR sfx method of using the drivers.. Sunil

Ok, i did it right then. I placed the drivers in the $OEM$ folder under $1 and pointed the OemPnPDriversPath to nvidia\nv4_dsp.inf. Sunil

The drivers used by NVIDIA are using the installshied install engine ver 6, thanks for the help with the winnt.sif part i will try that, although there is one thing I would to know the drivers, are they placed in $1 folder in the $oem$ folder or another folder and then the winnt script tells the install to use these drivers? Sunil

ArronXp, i have tried the method you have used for your catalyst drivers but it does not seem to work.. set NVIDIA=.\nvidia start /wait %NVIDIA%\Setup.exe -s -f1"%NVIDIA%\setup.iss" Please check that out and see if i have done anything wrong.. Sunil

Hey ArronXP, do you have any idea how i can achieve a silent install of the Nvidia 44.03 graphics display driver. I have been looking for two days but to no avail.. Sunil..
