    WIAK Changes not applied to image..!?

    in Unattended Windows Vista/Server 2008

    Posted

    ImageX /export /check C:\windows_distribution\sources\install.wim 1 C:\newinstall.wim "Windows Vista BUISNESS"
    Name is required if you are going to re-deploy a custom Install.wim with Windows Setup. The straight quotation marks are required. This flag is not required if you deploy the image by using ImageX.

    Excellent, thank you both! :thumbup

    ..and thanks for the VistaUA, still pokin' in it...will give report later on when things are coming together ;)

    WIAK Changes not applied to image..!?

    in Unattended Windows Vista/Server 2008

    Hi, I'm just about to get started on this...after a few trials with mounting and unmounting the install.wim after editing the image I must ask you guys.

    I remove stuff here and there after a succesfull mount of the install.wim, I give the command "imagex /unmount /commit C:\Vista.Mount" and it closes fine.

    But the install.wim is still the same size?

    Even when I mount the install.wim again I can see that the files are gone, the size is smaller in the repoistory for example...but the install.wim are the same size as before?

    And as soon as I reboot the files are back there???

    ...how in heavens should I do this?

    I run this under XP2p2 with admin rights under my account, and the latest RTM of the WAIK.

    Thanks!

    You will have to excuse me fellas, but this has been done numerous times already.

    Utilize Google for a bit and you should find ;)

    For the beginner I recommend Bold Fortune's site, he has done some extensive trial and error work in the past.

    There are threads here as well somewhere ;)

    Help with CDShell, no "press key to boot from DVD"?

    in Multi-Boot CD/DVDs

    Posted · Edited by Clint

    I have started to mess around with Multi-Boot finally.

    I've set up a CDShell bootmenu but I can't figure out on how to have the "press key to boot from DVD" popping up?

    As it is now it boots directly in to the graphics, and also after reboot when first part of install is done.

    What shall I do to get that "press key to boot from DVD" to show up?

    Thanx, and have patience with a noobie :D

    May I use it with an nLited Setup?

    in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)

    Posted

    I just wanted to know whether it can be run with an nLited Windows setup.

    My windows is an XP SP2 nLited (including XPize) and Windows Vista Transformation Pack 4.0 run on top of it. I want to reinstall it the same way as it is now, but would be nice to have also the WPI, as most of the options it gives are things I would otherwise manually do after the installation ends (e.g., the registry tweaks).

    As long as you leave Explorer in it, it needs explorer otherwise it won't run.

    Succes. :thumbup

    Actually it will run without Internet Explorer.

    Call wpi.hta from mshta.exe and it will run:

    %windir%\system32\mshta.exe "%wpipath%\wpi.hta"

    No IE needed and it runs on win2000 as well.. ;)

    Stand-Alone WPI Cd

    in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)

    Posted · Edited by Clint

    Hehe, thats an old reggie right there ;)

    Actually you can ditch the hta.reg..

    mshta will find it anyway if you use the %windir%\system32\mshta.exe "%CD%\wpi.hta" command....gives you

    freedom to use the disc even in a secondary boot or such ;)

    I didn't knew that back then ;)

    Runonceex.cmd not working in win2000?

    in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)

    Posted · Edited by Clint

    I use WPI_Lite 1.2

    I dropped WPI.CMD in I386: (add entry in txtsetup.inf)

    WPI.CMD:

    @ECHO OFF

    REM Example, how to look for CDROM-drive. Must have a file to identify in its root (like CDROM_NT.5 or WPI.ico).
    for %%i in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%i:\CDROM_NT.5 set CDROM=%%i:
    echo Found CD-Rom as drive %CDROM%

    REM Determine the WPI startup path. 
    REM if wpi should run off the cd the replace %~dp0 with %cdrom%.
    set wpipath=%CDROM%\WPI\

    REM Hide this command window.
    "%wpipath%common\cmdow.exe" @ /hid

    REM Special registry tweak needed.
    regedit /s "%wpipath%common\wpi.reg"

    REM Make WPI directory the current directory.
    for /f "delims=: tokens=1" %%i in ("%wpipath%") do %%i:
    cd "%wpipath%"

    REM Start WPI and wait for its end
    start /wait %windir%\system32\mshta.exe "%wpipath%\wpi.hta" 

    REM Undo registry tweak.
    regedit /s %wpipath%common\undo.reg

    exit

    :end

    IE has been ripped out so I called it with "%wpipath%\wpi.hta" from mshta.exe and it worked fine.

    I set up wpi.cmd to run @ runonceex from WPII.INF during T13 stage (for me only add the line to already existing .INF that I run there)

    WPII.INF:

    [version]
    signature="$WINDOWS NT$"
    ;Calls wpi.cmd from systemroot

    [DefaultInstall]
    AddReg=add.reg

    [add.reg]
    HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\ZZZ",111,,"%11%\wpi.cmd"

    thats it..

    now if someone could give me a hint on this I would be a happy camper ;) :
