it is pretty much like making an unattended cd for winxp. kind of learn as u go w/ win2k. but i have win2kSP4 unattended cd that i have made using the same process.

u seem to be missing this section from the winnt.sif: [Components]. u will have to check the win2k deployment tools to see how u can add it to automatically install when the os is installed.

where does this go? [Cabs] driver=driver.cab SP1=SP1.cab mydrivers=mydrive.cab in the textsetup.sif or the drvindex.inf?

for the powr toys i am using seperate installs for each of them. the tweakui is the on msi, i downloaded them from somewhere but i cannot remember where. here is the script:

my work for the .net framework it to keep it has the only item that gets copied over from the cd and install as usual, and then have the directory deleted be4 rebooting. here is a list of items i have had no prolems installing from the cd (if it helps): DX 9.0b Movie Maker 2.0 Windows Journal Viewer 1.5 Windows Messenger 5.0 Adobe Reader 6.0 VB 6.0 MS JavaVM - Build 3810 XP-Tweaks 3.0 WMP 9.0 WMP update MS Baseline Security Analyzer 1.1.1 Opera 7.5 Version 3 RJH Extension QuickTime WinRar 3.2 ImageResizer Powertoy PowerCalc Powertoy Alt-tab Replacement Powertoy TweakUI 2.10 Powertoy Sun Java VM 1.4.2 WinAmp 5.0 Flash Player 7.0 Shockwave Registry Tweaks (the following are run through a .cmd file but still installs from the cdrom) Hotfixes 1 Hotfixes 2 Cleanup

i noticed the person who started the forumn didn't always have the option to upload anything. i know this cause i have done it, just thought it was the forumn.

yes why would u??????? i have to hear the reasoning behind this one.

u mean something like this? it is @ the beginng of my runonceex. cmdow @ /HID @echo off IF EXIST C:\WIN51IC.SP1 set CDROM=C: IF EXIST D:\WIN51IC.SP1 set CDROM=D: IF EXIST E:\WIN51IC.SP1 set CDROM=E: IF EXIST F:\WIN51IC.SP1 set CDROM=F: IF EXIST G:\WIN51IC.SP1 set CDROM=G: SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f

what os?

better yet, use a different browser. hahahahaha, just kidding, couldn't pass this one up.

i ordered mine a long time ago and have yet to receive it. then i get an email from them and now they might actually send it. big laugh, but all i can do it wait.

i would be interested in knowing what files it looks for, if it works for this one it should work about the same for winxp. it would give the upgraders something more to add but would help out.

add this to the winnt.sif [Display] Xresolution = 1024 Yresolution = 768 not sure how this got here, was answering a question n another forumn

there is really no guide, it is pretty much the same as xp, search the forum, this has been touched on many times. if u are using the same software & want about the same type of setup, just copy it over from winxp to win2k.

thanks i am going to do that instead.

what about adding them to the $oem$\$$\Cursors? and renaming them to the windows default. that way they get replaced even before the cmdlines.txt

i checked out the user32.dll & it seems some of the cursors can be replaced from there but i have not tested it, as i use animated cursors & those cannot be inserted into it. does this seem right?

i have attached an image of some of the icons i have used in some of my editing. this is not all of them. the files i have been able to edit are: shell32.dll, explorer.exe, msgina.dll, logonui.exe, mshtml.dll, shdocvw.dll, url.dll, iexplore.exe, browselc.dll, mstsc.exe, netshell.dll, wiashext.dll, paint.exe, notepad.dll & notepad.exe.

i use the non-java version of opera as well and use the /s to install.

line 18 refers to the guiunattended, but i am not seeing anything unless it has something to do with the admin password, if there is no password it should have only 1 mark on it, unless u have those marks in there in place of the password, also is the time zone code correct??? [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword="""""" EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=85 OemSkipWelcome=1

no, not really, the install worked fine without them at all. at least i didn't have any problems with it. i renamed the files to make the names shorter. but i didn't alter it from being a .exe application. the only time it should be a problem is if you would have more than one item with the same name in that file. which i didn't at all, so it works without the .exe extenstion on it.

not sure what happened. it did copy during the install but windows was not activated, not sure there, but oh well will try again.

well i finally have all the bugs worked out. and the install went off without a hitch. the problem was the file system that was created using Easy CD Creator 5. instead of using the ISO9600 file system i switched over to the Joliet file system and everything was fine after that. just so everybody knows how to fix this problem here.

i will give that a try, thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
