Unattended Secret: Reducing Size Of Source
bjdotcom replied to gosh's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
When I checked Download Updates............... I watched the Dynamic Updates status bar.... It says Connecting to microsoft....., Download timing was around 25 minutes using a 512 kbps connection. A directory was created named dudrvs in the and this was in that root of the BOOT folder (Formerly known as $WIN_NT$.~BT) And in the root of the dudrvs folder there are two other folders named 734789 and 3229025. The 734789 folder is around 82.4 MB and the files: Directory of C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\dudrvs\734789 11/01/2003 02:15 AM <DIR> . 11/01/2003 02:15 AM <DIR> .. 09/01/1996 07:19 AM 43,879 hlp256.dl_ 09/01/1996 07:18 AM 84,255 hlp25632.dl_ 09/13/2001 08:07 AM 98,923 lex2kusb.dl_ 09/12/2001 10:34 PM 63,156 lexbce.dl_ 09/12/2001 10:35 PM 151,939 lexbces.ex_ 02/09/2000 05:35 AM 91,727 lexdrvin.ex_ 09/13/2001 08:23 AM 239,341 lexedf.dl_ 12/14/2000 12:04 PM 11,356 lexgo.ex_ 09/13/2001 08:06 AM 112,172 lexp2p32.dl_ 09/12/2001 10:32 PM 96,358 lexpps.ex_ 01/04/2000 08:00 AM 171 lexwww.ht_ 04/17/2001 09:01 AM 89,409 lxajcaln.ou_ 04/17/2001 10:06 AM 131,106 lxajccln.ou_ 09/28/2001 02:36 PM 203,566 lxajcdrv.cat 09/13/2001 07:45 AM 385,055 lxajclr1.dl_ 09/13/2001 07:45 AM 384,601 lxajclr2.dl_ 09/13/2001 07:45 AM 385,443 lxajclr3.dl_ 09/13/2001 08:07 AM 43,067 lxajdr5c.dl_ 09/13/2001 07:34 AM 85,961 lxajfc5c.dl_ 07/31/2000 08:29 AM 559,125 lxajgf.dl_ 09/13/2001 07:45 AM 123,862 lxajicur.dl_ 09/13/2001 07:35 AM 45,138 lxajjsw.dl_ 09/12/2001 10:43 PM 17,460 lxajjswx.ex_ 04/17/2001 09:01 AM 65,397 lxajkaln.ou_ 04/17/2001 10:06 AM 90,507 lxajkcln.ou_ 09/13/2001 07:40 AM 280,381 lxajlpa.dl_ 09/13/2001 08:08 AM 41,210 lxajpp5c.dl_ 09/13/2001 07:44 AM 258,145 lxajprp.dl_ 09/13/2001 07:41 AM 104,824 lxajpsw.dl_ 09/13/2001 08:08 AM 41,338 lxajpswx.ex_ 09/13/2001 08:06 AM 35,479 lxajpwr.dl_ 03/28/2001 10:55 AM 40,356 lxajsk0.dl_ 04/20/2001 10:48 AM 57,651 lxajsk1.dl_ 03/28/2001 10:57 AM 95,858 lxajsk2.dl_ 09/13/2001 08:08 AM 26,732 lxajui5c.dl_ 09/12/2001 10:43 PM 31,942 lxajun5c.ex_ 09/13/2001 07:46 AM 32,864 lxajupd.dl_ 09/13/2001 07:35 AM 103,237 lxajutil.dl_ 09/13/2001 09:46 AM 37,688 lxajver.web 09/13/2001 09:46 AM 13,489 lxajver.we_ 09/05/2001 12:15 PM 12,834 lxajw2k.inf 09/05/2001 12:15 PM 12,834 lxajw2k.ini 09/05/2001 12:15 PM 4,799 lxajw2k.in_ 09/13/2001 08:08 AM 27,042 lxajweb.ex_ 12/08/1999 09:23 AM 33,981 lxsmunin.ex_ 01/31/1999 07:01 PM 163,663 msvcrt.dl_ 10/06/1998 07:12 PM 83,641 ptzipw32.dl_ 11/01/2003 02:15 AM <DIR> arabic 11/01/2003 02:15 AM <DIR> chi_simp 11/01/2003 02:15 AM <DIR> chi_trad 11/01/2003 02:15 AM <DIR> czech 11/01/2003 02:15 AM <DIR> danish 11/01/2003 02:15 AM <DIR> dutch 11/01/2003 02:15 AM <DIR> english 11/01/2003 02:15 AM <DIR> finnish 11/01/2003 02:15 AM <DIR> french 11/01/2003 02:15 AM <DIR> german 11/01/2003 02:15 AM <DIR> hebrew 11/01/2003 02:15 AM <DIR> hungaran 11/01/2003 02:15 AM <DIR> italian 11/01/2003 02:15 AM <DIR> japanese 11/01/2003 02:15 AM <DIR> norwegan 11/01/2003 02:15 AM <DIR> polish 11/01/2003 02:15 AM <DIR> portbrzl 11/01/2003 02:16 AM <DIR> russian 11/01/2003 02:16 AM <DIR> spanish 11/01/2003 02:16 AM <DIR> swedish 11/01/2003 02:14 AM 90 hwcomp.dat 48 File(s) 5,143,052 bytes 22 Dir(s) 13,458,472,960 bytes free Do i need the Dynamic Update or skip em? -

Not forgetting to download the SFC_OS.DL More Info on using the SFC_OS.DL_ Cheers, Bj -
Confused When I deleted Q817778.EXE from my svcpack.inf....That annoying screen disappeared......! So what went wrong with my Q817778.EXE.......Is there soemthing missing. Still takes a long time at the 13 minute mark... PS: I download the QCHAIN.exe from Microsoft.com...and when I opened it, just to see what it does....it asked where extract files...and when I extracted it.....there was a QCHAIN.exe.......! Do I have to use the QCHAIN.exe or the Extracted file (QHAIN.EXE) Cheers, Bj
-
Ok.....I will give it a test run to see it never displays that annoying msg again. back to my Virtual PC... Cheers, bj
-
Th u mean o say http://unattended.MSFN.org/xp/installhotfixes.htm maybe wrong. Look in the svcpack.inf

update.exe the one that comes with the Roll up package

Do you want me to ignore them like instead use it as: [setupHotfixesToRun] update.exe Without any switches! Cheers, Bj

Using Background For Each Folder
bjdotcom replied to eXPerience-XP's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
Right Click on the folder > Properties> Customize Tab> Choose Picture> select your pic (Make sure you place the pic in that Directory-- Incase if you burn it on a Cd...it will still be there) Now right click outside the folder and View> Thumbnails. I use these to create custom Cds. Note: I dont know whether u wanted this way...coz its a easy way...i dont know what u have in mind. Cheers, Bj -
How To Replace The Default Luna Theme
bjdotcom replied to ahmedramzi's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
This is what I did!....but I use MacOSX Trans When I installed it...it transformed my whole Gui to the MacOSX Taste. Then I went to my system32 folder and seen a folder named MacOSX (for Longhorn you see a LHTrans). This is what I understood and did to my unattended files. 1.) I applied my Visual themes and then in the Display Properties>Themes Tab I saved my theme as custom.theme file. 2.) Now in my $OEM$ folder I created a $OEM$\$$\Resources\Themes\ folder and Placed the Mac OSX Panther (The theme which was applied on my comp)...and also placed the custom.theme in the $OEM$...\Resources\Themes. 3.) Then I created a $OEM$\$$\system32\ and placed all the files which were in the System32\MacOSX\ folder (For you its LHTrans) in the $OEM&\$$\system32. So that it replaces all the *.dll files......Note: Copy only the *.dll files and place them there. 4.) Not forgetting to place the Explorer.exe in the $OEM$\$$\ folder other than placing it in the $OEM$\$$\System32 folder. 5.) Make a Folder named Media and place it in the $OEM$\$$\ and place all your critical sounds which came along The transformation pack. (Optional). 6.) For the Wallpapers....Do the same old thing......Place all the Wallpapers in the $OEM$\$$\Web\Wallpapers folder. This is my edited theme file: I had to edit it to make changes. ; Copyright © Microsoft Corp. 1995-2001 [Theme] ; My Computer [CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\DefaultIcon]
