Hello, I recently installed XPize, and was really enjoying it until I tried to run TCPView Pro from my winternals admin pack. I recieved an error that the dll was not installed. I tried the "Repair" function for the Admin pack hoping that it would pick up the new dll, but that did not work. TCPView Pro is working fine again after uninstalling XPize. Is there a fix for this so that I can use XPize with TCPView Pro?

I have a questions about using the -f and -t switches together. Does this force applications to terminate immediatly, or at the end of the timer? Or does it activate the switch in order they are typed? Would "shutdown.exe -t 60 -f" wait 60 seconds then force app terminate? Would "shutdown.exe -f -t 60" force apps to terminnate then shutdown in 60 seconds? Doesn't using the -f switch defeate the purpose of waiting a minute to let the installs finish updating shortcuts, ect.?

ECHO. ECHO Installing WinRAR 3.20 ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\WinRAR\wrar320.exe /s Works fine for me. I've never seen the shortcut window show. The shortcut box will go away when the computer restarts at the end even if it does pop-up.

Excellent!! Thanks AaronXP!

You could probably set the winnt.sif to direct your GuiRunOnce to A:\batch.cmd instead of %systemdrive%\install\batch.cmd since A:\ are universally 3.5 inch floppy drives. You could direct any command to the A:\ as long as you have room on your floppy for the files. All my batch and reg files and my winnt.sif are only 13.5k so I doubt you would ahve space contraints on those. Directing your install for another CD I'm sure must be possible. I remember haveing two install disks for my Compaq Demo computers that ran all as part of the initial windows installation. I put in one, answered a couple questions about my store and it would install silently until it needed the second CD. Then it prompted me and once I inserted it is completed the install set up the demo.

The disk I am working on now is for Windows 2003. I like KPF over SPF and only have NPF 2003 (which isn't able to run under Win2k3). KPF 4 is able to run under Win2k3. I know it is in beta still, but so is my Uninstall CD in a matter of speaking. 8) I'm hoping that once I can get it installing that it will work for the final build.

Thanks cheesehead. I haven't tried out what you said yet, but I did do some research. Between the OEM installer(ip4_1engalloemmsi.exe) and the 4.12 installer (IP4_12EngALLMsi.exe) there are only THREE differences. In the \Mouse folder setup.exe is dated April 4, 2002 in the OEM package and January 22 2003 in the 4.12 installer. In the \Mouse\Setup folder the OEM installer has a IPOEMOPK.pdf file. This is missing in the 4.12 installer. In the \Mouse\Setup folder the OEM installer has a OEMSETUP.ini. This is missing in the 4.12 installer Otherwise all the rest of the files are identical. I'm guessing that the OEM installer has the 4.12 drivers as well. 8)

For Intellipoint, there is an OEM download (ip4_1engalloemmsi.exe). It is version 4.1 not 4.12, and I haven't messed with it yet. I don't remember the download address, but it was on the MS OEM site.

I just make a sfx and toggle it to silent install internally. I pack them: MyCustomThemes.exe [*]\MyCustomTheme\ [*]\MyCustomTheme.Theme [*]\MyOtherTheme\ [*]\MyOtherTheme.Theme ect... And them extrat everything to the 'Themes' folder in Windows. ;The comment below contains SFX script commands Path=.\%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\ Silent=1 Overwrite=1 *I believe that usinf %systemroot% instead of %windir% will work as well I haven't tried to load the theme yet (running the *.theme file brings up the Display dialog). I will eventually, but since I run Win2k3 you can't ue your themes until you manually start the service.

I haven't tried SB Drivers yet, but I know that I haven't been able to get Intellipoint Drivers to work. They are packed funny, when I extract them it seems like there are multiple insallers inside. Once I resolve some other more pressing install items I might go back and look into them a bit more. 8)

I've been working with Kerio 4.0.0 b6. I can't get an .iss from it, and the only way that I have been able to silently install it (/s /q/vn) does a silent install with a forced restart at the end. I have Norton Clean Sweep installed so that I can track the changes during an install, and this forced restart does not even allow Clean Sweep to halt it until I can finalize it's tracking. Could someone grab this file and work on it for me? I'm at a loss now. Kerio Personal Firewall 4 Note: When I went to the website to get this link to post here, I noticed that build 7 is out. I will download it and see if the installer has changed.

LOL I kept forgetting to remove my CD and uxtheme and metapad would not install. I added this to the begining of my Main_Batch.cmd file CLS @echo off ECHO. ECHO Over the next few minutes you will see automated installations ECHO of various sofware applications, windows updates, and registry ECHO hacks being implemented. The computer will restart automatically ECHO once the whole process has finished! ECHO. ECHO Please remove your Windows Install CD from the CD Drive ECHO. pause ECHO. It takes away form being completely unattended, but it helped me remember. 8) I was thinking, if you are using more tha one CDcould you have the uxtheme commands run on the cd that does not include your I386 file? Then Windows would not have anywhere to autoload the originals from. How do you install from multiple cd's anyway? As far as removing those files from the dxsetup. Has this been tested on Windows 2003?

Sunil, There is a program I found over at guru3d that I have been using for my nvidia drivers to install them without the intallshield setup. Check it out here: Installing Nvidia Detonator drivers on Windows XP Hope it helps some. 8)
