yes, and thanks for the reply. I'm not familiar with it, so i'll read up on it and i'll be back lol

Hi, So i've made this unattended XPCD, but one 1 of my 3 computers I don't have a DVD player. So I can't install it on that computer. I was wondering if I put the files on 1 of the partition and install xp on another partition using the files, would that work? or is there any other way to do it too? thnx

Hi, im trying to install an application with the extension .MSI and I keep getting this error. To run a silent install you must either specify a response file or override this event (onmsisilentinstall()) and provide your own implementation. What's it talking about lol Another question is, I got an application OmniPage that came with my scanner. Trying to install it, but it's an installshield type setup.exe but it uses another OmniPageSE.msi along with it. So searched far and wide, and put this command in setup.exe /s /v"/qb' and as it progress, it says wrong serial. I know for sure it's not the serials that's wrong, as it came with the scanner I bought, and installs fine when I do it manually. plz help. thnx

hmm, I just checked back at your site, and totally missed out this line. DriverPacks (folder) You should move all the DriverPacks into this folder. Sorry about that, no wonder it took 5 seconds the first time I did it lol.

Thanks for your respone. Yes I am using method 2. But my driver packs (the zipped files I downloaded for graphics/sound etcc..?) are at F:\WindowsXP. and in the F:\WindowsXP\OEM\bin, I see driversigningpolicy, and 7za, and setdevice path. Is that right? and how would I go about installing other drivers like printer and scanner in conjunction with this. If i do the scanner driver like it says on the MSFN site would that still work? thnx Edit: I guess I can't do that cause the driver paths are changed when I looked at the presetup.cmd. So if I chuck my Drivers folder with the drivers that contains my scanner/printer and other things in this fashion 001_scanner, 002_monitor would it work?

anyone?

Hi, I did this driver install using Bâshrat the Sneaky method (btw great packs, thnx ), and it created this line below my other line in WINNT.SIF file. the install.cmd is the one that starts up the WPI file to install applications, so im wondering what would happen when the code is like this. Will it run properly, or is it going to overlap? [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\install.cmd [GUIRunOnce] command9 = "%SystemDrive%\D\BTS_DPs_finish.cmd" Edit: Also have another question. I copied the driverpacks to the root of the windows_xp cd i have created, and in the F:\WindowsXP\$OEM$\$1\D there are only the 2 cmd files. Should the driver packs go in there, or is it fine where they are (which is at F:\WindowsXP) While integrating driver packs, had no error or anything, just wondering thnx

thank you. I googled, but I only knew copy to copy, not create folders and copy at the same time. anyways, thnx

Hi again, I had this figured out a while back, but put my xp cd to a break for a while, now im back at it, and forgot it anyways, how can I copy a file from C:\Install\file.dat to say C:\1\2\3\file.dat. But folders 1, 2 and 3 needs to be created, and the file.dat needs to be placed in it. Any ideas? thnx

ok updated the bios installed the hotfix and it did it Thnx a lot guys, glad i came here lol. Been trying to fix it for a month or so now, giving up from time to time

no it was put together by hand by parts. But I believe Nois3 hit it on the spot. I may need to update the motherboard bios lol. Cause the first motherboard burnt out, and it was replaced with another but the same model. ok thanx guys , i'll update it and will let you know.

Well I just bought a brand new computer that works wonders. P4, 3.2 ghz, 1gb ram, blah blah all the good stuff. And I made a nice unattended xp cd with sp2 slipstramed and I try to install it on the new computer, it won't install. Meaning i put in the cd, it formated using ntfs, then copies the files over and all, and it restarts to do the installation. But right after it restarts it freezes at the loading screen where the blue bar that runs horizontal. It freezes there and stays there forever. It also does the same thing when I install Xp without sp2, then i install sp2 to manually, it also freezes at the same screen when it restarts. so just the normal XP cd works fine XP cd slipstreamed with SP1 works fine and dandy XP cd with sp2 slip stramed or installed manually freezes. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

MSFN's Unattended XP CD - Drivers via CD Under the heading "Prepare Windows source files" it has the following: In the Run box, type: expand C:\XPCD\SETUP.EX_ C:\XPCD\SETUPORG.EXE Change C:\XPCD to the path of your Windows Setup Source. Ofcourse according to my knowledge, there is no setup.ex_ file in the XPCD, but in the I386 directory. also you have to create the setuporg.exe file in the I386 directory also. Just a little thing in the site, that messed me up for some time. I think it's an error, if it isn't please enlighten me

Thank you very much

Does anyone know where the remembered passwords gets saved on firefox? I'd like to just put that file in there after a clean install of a firefox everytime. Is it possible?

Yep this is good enough. Thanks for the reply. I'll try it and will let you know Edit: Well it works with the switch and all, but how can I give the information it needs? I tired to look at other example of msi installation, but they don't read from a file, and they contrain like commands. Right after the installation it asks me to register, and I gotta click "skip", then when I go to mysql, its asking me for a password Edit: Nevermind on that, I just made an autoit script

WEll as the description says, does anyone know how to install MYSQL silently? Searched far and wide, but no where to be found Thanks

So anyone know how to install Intellicad silently? I tried using the switches but comes up wih this msg. Don't know what to do. THanks

I set up my Creative Audigy 2 drivers, and only 3 out of my 5.1 speakers work. I did it the way that was on the MSFN Unattended XPCD site. I don't know what you guys are doing up there, but can you please tell me why my drivers for sound won't install. Everything else works fine, but just the sound. Thnx
