I wasn't able to remove the winnt.sif's OemPnPDriversPath with devpath.exe... Maybe because there is no registry @ t-39... I'm still looking for a way to make it possible...

v0.8.1 is up. New variables supported and exe inside the path variable can be called without complete path. Example: <item> <program>7z</program> <arguments>x -y -o%systemdrive%\setup\drivers\scanner %systemdrive%\setup\drivers\scanner.7z</arguments> <hide>1</hide> <wait>300</wait> </item> <item> <program>notepad</program> <arguments>%systemdrive%\boot.ini</arguments> <hide>0</hide> <wait>300</wait> </item>

-1 for me

Here's a reg file that I use to set my keyboard to French Canadian: ; Clavier canadien-francais [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\IMEtoggle] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\IMEtoggle\scancode] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload] "1"="00000c0c" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Profile] "B0A57A8"=hex:00,27,89,e5,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,4f,\ e6,28,04,a9,57,0a,0b "22983098"=hex:60,8a,14,6d,b2,ab,b2,2d,cb,fb,9a,22 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Substitutes] "00000c0c"="00001009" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Toggle] "Hotkey"="1" "Language Hotkey"="1" "Layout Hotkey"="2" ; Clavier Canadien Francais [-HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Keyboard Layout\Preload] [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Keyboard Layout\Preload] "1"="00000c0c" [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload] "1"="00000c0c" Look at your own values in your registry and change accordingly.

These are the one I use: Shell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell"); Environnement_system = Shell.Environment("SYSTEM"); Environnement_process = Shell.Environment("PROCESS"); Network = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network"); windir = Environnement_process("SYSTEMROOT") systemdrive = Environnement_process("SYSTEMDRIVE"); ProgramFiles = Shell.RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\ProgramFilesDir"); SourcePath = Shell.RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Setup\\SourcePath"); UserProfile = Environnement_process("USERPROFILE"); UserProfileTous = Environnement_process("ALLUSERSPROFILE"); DefaultUserProfile = systemdrive + "\\Documents and Settings\\Default User\\"; QuickLaunch = UserProfile + "\\Application Data\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer\\Quick Launch\\"; MenuDemarrer = UserProfile + "\\Menu Démarrer\\Programmes\\"; Bureau = UserProfile + "\\Bureau\\"; QuickLaunchTous = UserProfileTous + "\\Application Data\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer\\Quick Launch\\"; MenuDemarrerTous = UserProfileTous + "\\Menu Démarrer\\Programmes\\"; BureauTous = UserProfileTous + "\\Bureau\\"; path = WScript.ScriptFullName; path = path.substr(0,path.lastIndexOf("\\")+1); // Variable RunOnceEx RunOnceEx = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\RunOnceEx"; DefaultRunOnce = "HKEY_USERS\\.DEFAULT\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\RunOnce"; RunOnce = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\RunOnce"; Utilisateur = Network.UserName; Ordinateur = Network.ComputerName;

I'm pretty sure this one is useless and that you can delete it. What language is you XP? French? If in french, then it is "Administrateurs" and not "Administrators"So you don't need to add another Admin group. "Administrateurs" is already there. You'll only need: Hope it helped!

Oups, didn't saw Xplode... I use XPlode launch from cmdlines.txt and from RunOnce

No, this is the punch

hahaah thats ridiculous!!!!

als always win Wahts the count right now? From RDS WOUHOU!!!!

On 17" (work) and 19" (home), its 1024x767. On my 15,4" laptop, its 1920x1200

french here No comment

1. You could launch a splash screen from your xml... 2. Dunno 3. You could call another instance of XPlode with a different xml from inside the first xml to have different settings. I do so for hotfixes.

I don't know about the "All User" path. What I did is put the ini inside Opera directory so new profiles will be based on this. Modify the opera6.ini to reflect your default setting, then place it into the %ProgramFiles%\Opera directory (overwrite the other one) before you run Opera for the first time.,..

I have plenty of those variables. I'm at work right now so maybe this evning I'll post all I have.

I'm not sure it would be possible. Not that I don't want. It could be a good idea (though I won't use it). There is just to many ways to install things. Whiles windows is installing, you can run programs @ t-39, t-13, t-12, t-9, and from many many way at the first user logon!!! Each of theese have there own positive and negative points. For example, you can't install things @ t-39, but you can extract your drivers. @ t-13 (svpack.inf) there is some limitation (some hotfixes needs a profile to install) and you need to edit a .inf file, which is more complex then a batch file. I think the simpler is @ t-12 which is run from cmdlines.txt but as for t-13, some hotfixes needs a profile. But installing things there will make all users have the same program/tweaks/settings because they will be applyed to the defaul user, which new created users get based on. Then you have GuiRunOnce/RunOnceEx which execute after the first user loged on, but is only run once. Also, there is a RunOnce key that can be imported for "Default User", so all users will execute this on their first logon, a RunOnce in "Local Machine" so everyone will execute this on first logon. Those RunOnce wont show a window like RunOnceEx. But if you install a program with the RunOnce* technic, then if the program creates shortcut on the desktop, chances are that those shortcut will be created only for the current user which executed the installation procedure. As you can see, unattended installation is much more complex then it looks. And each needs is different from someone to someone else. I prefer XPlode @ t-12 over svpack.inf, but thats a personnal preference. I also use RunOnceEx to install some hotfixes and other programs. Making a tool that will let you choose over all those technics would be great, but this is a hell as a job!!!! Not sure its really worth it... There is no such thing as "a program that do everything". It can help you, but there will always be limitations.If you want to lead the path, I wouldn't mind helping a bit

Same thing here... Maybe something with VMware?

I reinstalled XP on my desktop with other apps and winamp is working great!!! No errors Good job alanoll!!

I'm having the same message since 2 days too... But only inside VMWare. It is set to 256 Mb RAM (I have 512). It happened in RunOnceEx with XPlode installing some hotfixes...

Haaa ok remake the CD completly... But I installed it successfully now. I switched CD drives: I replaced the CD-RW with the DVD and it installed, I think slower. Will check if it installed right.

Replaced on the CD? I hate dust from my home. There is so many. With 2 dogs and 3 cats, my nose (and my computer) is screaming in pain...

I just went to chekc the computer. After switching drivers, it is installing, with the same CD. So the problem is surely the drive (dust). I'll see tomorow if it was installed correctly. If not I'll do it again with the new CD I made.

I got this error twice: the first time my CD drive was dirty. Blowing air in it did the job. Right now I'm struggling with this error again, on the same computer. I tryed to air thing but it didn't worked. I switched drives with another dvd and its launched. I don't know if it will work. The cd is a 650MB Sony CD-RW (4x-10x) written at 10X. I'm burning another one (not a sony) at 4x. Will post back if that worked...

I actually have the same error... I had it a couple of month ago and it was because my CD drive was durty. Last time blowing air in the drive was successulf, right now its not

Didn't heard of v0.0.7.5... could be beta? I have v0.0.7 and installing ia autoit so I can choose info
