    Problem with Windows Live Messenger

    in Application Installs

    Posted · Edited by danielvh

    Hey guys

    Just finishing off my CD. I'm auto-installing Windows Live Messenger using batch commands (it's an install copy I found on these forums that has a silent installation. Here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...live+messenger). I try installing the XPCD in a virtual PC with Microsoft Virtual PC 2004. It seems to install fine but then once in windows I can't access wlm and I get the following error message:

    "C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\msnmsgr.exe

    This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

    Below is my batch command that I use for installing it.

    CLS
    @echo off
    TITLE Windows XP Home SP2 - Automated Installation

    ECHO.
    ECHO Over the next few minutes you will see automated installations 
    ECHO of various applications.
    ECHO The computer will restart automatically afterwards.

    ECHO.
    ECHO Removing useless Windows Catalog shortcut...
    DEL "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Windows Catalog.lnk"

    ECHO.
    ECHO Installing Windows Live Messenger
    ECHO Please wait...
    start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\wlm\wlm.exe

    ECHO.
    ECHO Installing Adobe Reader 7.0.8
    ECHO Please wait...
    start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\ar\ar.exe

    ECHO.
    ECHO Installing AVG Anti-Virus (remember to update)
    ECHO Please wait...
    start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\avg\avg.exe /HIDE /DONT_START_APPS /NO_WELCOME /NO_AVGW_STARTUP /QUIT_IF_INSTALLED

    ECHO.
    ECHO Installing WinRAR
    ECHO Please wait...
    start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\wr\wr.exe /S

    ECHO.
    ECHO Applying Registry Tweaks which add my comp/my docs etc to the dektop...
    REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\RegTweaks.reg

    ECHO.
    ECHO Restarting the PC in 3 minutes...
    shutdown.exe -r -f -t 180 -c "Please hold, XP will now restart..."

    ECHO.
    ECHO Deleting Temp Installation Files...
    RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\install

    EXIT

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Anyone in Aus want to make me a couple unnattended XP cds for cash?

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    Hey guys

    Going out on a limb here but I'm hoping that there's someone in Australia on these forums who's willing to make me a couple customised XP CDs (one XP Pro, one XP Home)? I'm willing to pay such a person for their services. I've actually made one of these cds myself about 4.5 years ago but need a new one now and don't have a very long timescale so I figured the quickest way to get this done asap was to pay someone who's a pro at this to do it for me.

    This is what I want: (The same for XP Pro and Home)

    -Ability to choose partition

    -Prompt to enter CD-key

    -Promp to enter details for: username, computer name

    -language and regional options set to australian

    -no auto-activation

    -installation of service packs 1 and 2

    -installation of all hotfixes and software under optional software updates on the windows update site (eg WMplayer10)

    -installation of the latest version of several programs (avg antivirus, Windows Defender, Adobe Reader, Windows Live Messenger, winrar)

    -no installation of windows messenger 4.7 or msn explorer

    -My Computer and My documents placed on the desktop (and if possible shortcuts to AVG, Windows Defender and Windows Live Messenger)

    And all this in as slim and efficient as possible a package. Hopefully fitting onto a CD.

    Please reply asap if you're willing to do it and what you think a fair price is (including express postage to perth). If you wish to flame me for being lazy then PM them please but please keep in mind that I need this done asap.

    Thanks

    6. Show quick launch icons. Only Internet explorer and if possible outlooke xpress and windows explorer

    7. Remove the language bar.

    8. Remove "My recent Documents" from start menu

    9. clear recent applications list in start menu (not disable just reset)

    10. Disable "tour" popup on taskbar

    11. Disable automatic downloading and installing of windows updates

    12. Disable remote assistance and remove shortcut from start menu (all programs)

    14. Remove shortcut to on-screen keyboard from start menu (all programs -> accessories -> accessability options)

    15. Add "Games", "Benchmarks" and "Utilities" folders (without quotations) to start menu (all programs.

    16. Add above (15) folders to Program files on C

    17. Disable mouse shadow

    18. set screen-saver to none

    19. disable all effects in display properties -> appearance

    20. Set control panel to classic view

    21. Set "days to keep pages in history" in Internet Properties to 0

    22. Show network connection status on taskbar

    23. Disable hibernation

    24. Remove sounds (Control panel -> Sounds and audio devices): WINDOWS - start windows, windows logoff NETMEETING - person joines, person leaves, receive calls, receive request to join WINDOWS EXPLORER - Empty recycle bin, start navigation

    That's all for now and yes in case you're wondering: I am a prolific tweaker.
