If you want to make a nice boot menu, I highly suggest using CDShell

Remove your key and password...

it shouldnt be a problem I think... Just follow the guide @ msfn!

Rock ridge is unix's cd format. Maybe try to disable it. Don't forget to test with CD-RW and virtual machine (VMWare or Virtual PC)! good luck

I was using your first version on my desktop and my sister told me that winamp was crashing many times. I then upgraded to the new version and it seems ok.. I'll ask her if it still crashes. I do use the librairy, and didn't notice any problem... Maybe because I installed on top of the other version? its a nice one extreme, keep up the good work

There is many thread about this one. Search the board, you'll find it

t-39 is great for unpacking drivers, since it is before the hardware scan. That way you can compress you ~100Mb drivers and get a small ~30Mb 7zip sfx that I call:

Set: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon "AutoLogonCount"=dword:0000000? Replace "?" by the number of autologon you want (I have 1)

Look at this site for info. If you want more you could search google for Windows Scripting Host (WSH) witch is the scripting engine. I use them at T-12 (cmdlines.txt), RunOnceEx, and also tryed it at t-9 (winnt.sif's SetupParams) with working results (except for t-9; programs installed then will not function correctly)

I think there is a .zip file... You could repack it with winrar sfx...

I just said that my first CD version had .bat files but I switched to JScript (.js) because their is no black window, you can make everything with it, and it looks like c++ (or Visual Basic if you use VBScript .vbs) wich is really nicer than batch...

I was using .bat files with my first Unattended CD and didn't had any problem. Now I switched to .js so really less problem

I think I've heard that the t-39 time is too soon to run batch script!!! This time seams really limited.

A "per application" solution won't be easy. The easiest is to change the special folder called "programfiles" 2 ways: -In your winnt.sif file, put this: Change the 2 red color text to whatever you want. I do have better results using "D:" instead of "D:\". The only (minor) problem comes from avast. Since it uses Internet Explorer rendering engine, I dunno why it will look at D:\\Avast\... for files and can't find them... So avast will look ugly... -Second method is to change the key in the registry under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion Look for the "ProgramFilesDir" REG_SZ value. Change it accordingly. good luck

Only the principle one. Putting the "#include" thing will thell the compiler to include the file in the exe.

I think so... I don't why it wouldnt!

set path=%path%;<new path to add>

no, it will continue normally. If you tell it to create a log, you will see the error in the log.

The code I posted was for AutoIT v2. @edmoncu AutoIT inst this bright, it wont send keys to the window but to the active window. So if someone change the window focus, then it will fail... Thats why I used SendToWindow.aut posted in this thread. It will activate the window before each keys is sent, so if someone change the window focus it will get back. You could just freeze the mouse...

I get some weird things with some programs. I have the my program files folder pointing to D:\ instead of c:\program files, so when installing things, the setup always propose me to install to D:\<app name>. But when installing programs at t-9, some creates empty folders on C:\ (Opera, outpost, others...), no reg tweaks (and I have many ) so it is really useless.... I would really like to see it works one day!!!

This sounds like a hotfixes issue. Check those. They are some that can't install if nobody is logged in... I install at the first loggon (RunOnceEx method) those hotfixes (all others are installed at t-12): Q817778.EXE (/Q /U /O /N /Z) Q817787.exe (/Q:A /R:N) Q832483.EXE (/C:\"dahotfix.exe /q /n\" /q) Q832414.exe (/C:\"dahotfix.exe /q /n\" /q) Q831167.exe (/Q:A /R:N)

The file is in <cdrom>\Programmes\autoit and outpost is in <cdrom>\Programmes\outpost\outpost.exe This will run the installer with the "/s" switch witch install silently, and then wait for the "Please reboot the computer" window to apear and will send the escape key, thous canceling it. good luck

@killerbee Programs doesnt install correctly + all the reg tweaks are not applyed. Have you found a way for the registry hive @ t-9? I would REALLY like seing this... as I could launch different xml config via multiple winnt.sif file (I use 4 now, 2 computers with 2 config each). I actually use the t-12 method (cmdlines.txt) and a .js file that check computer name and calls xplode with different .xml files... thanx

<item display='TweakUI'> <execute display='Installing...' program='%systemdrive%\install\Applications\TweakUI.msi' arguments='/qb' username='Me' password='pass' />should be <item display='TweakUI'> <execute display='Installing...' program='msiexec' arguments='/i %systemdrive%\install\Applications\TweakUI.msi /qb' username='Me' password='pass' /> and same thing for norton. I would like to be able to install things at t-9 (from the winnt.sif's [setupParams]) but things are weird their... You could install evertyhing at t-12 from cmdlines.txt. Look on the forum to the technic. I'm trying actually to figure a way to install things at t-9, but I don't have many hopes... If somebody's has an idea...

yeah thats what I'm using (kind of...) I don't have it below me so I can't compare... But instead of killing the app, I just send the key "espace" ({ESC}) and it stop buging me I'd love it to use MSI... As you can see on their forum (wich is actually down), they don't intend Outpost to be used by companies, only normal users, wich normaly doesn't use silent installation... Thats really sad! Hope their will be a better way around...
