WAIK for Windows 7 RC works very well with Vista SP2. Hope the RTM version comes out soon, though.

Are you doing this on Windows 7? In my laptop it gave me an error when making a catalog, but as I was messing with UAC I think there were problems running it without admin credentials. I'm using WAIK for Windows 7 RC to make XML for Vista installations without any problems. The only problem when it couldn't make a catalog, giving me many errors was when I tried to load a vLited image I made long time ago with WAIK for Vista SP1...

Hi, can you change my name to ajua? I can't remember but when I first registered in this board I did it as ajua but somehow I loose the password and/or email and re-registered as elajua. Thanks!

I'm testing my first unattended installation of Windows 7 RTM (I did a few with the betas and RC). I was updating my cleanup file (which also arranger shortcuts) but I can't find the english name of the new Desktop Gadget Gallery to include it on my cmd file. Since Vista, I use english names even I install spanish setups. The new shortcuts I found are XPS Viewer (Visor de XPS) and Desktop Gadget Gallery (Galería de gadgets de escritorio) but I can't seem to write the correct name for the latter. Can anyone with an English installation post the correct name of that shortcut so my cmd file can copy/delete it? Thanks.

I have clared my cache and using http://www.msfn.org/board/ but I have to log in everytime... Using FF 3.5.1 I will try it with IE8 to see if this happens with it.

You don't need the full framework just the Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile Beta 1 Unless this application is targeting .NET 4.0 for specific features, there is no need to use a Beta framework because most users won't have it installed already...

Autounattend.xml and Unatend.xml serve different pourposes on a Windows installation. Glad to know you figure it out already.

That partition is for storing the manufacturer's recovery disc image files... You can make your recovery disks and delete that partition if you don't need it anymore. There are a few freeware application like EASEUS Partition Manager or Partition Wizard Home Edition that can do the job without having to format the entire hard drive.

Waiting MSDN availability to install it on my laptop (running Windows 7 RC) and desktop (Vista Ultimate SP2)... I have my unattended resources ready for that

Interesting question, but I don't know if you can tweak it. Chances are a thing like that can't be changed...

This applies to XP, Vista and I think Windows 7 too: You need to enable AHCI mode in your BIOS prior to installing Windows on it or change a registry value (to enable the AHCI driver) before restarting your computer to change the BIOS settings... Read this from Microsoft regarding your problem.

Is this working?

You should use system variables for doing that: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment] "TEMP"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,\ 00,25,00,5c,00,54,00,45,00,4d,00,50,00,00,00 "TMP"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,00,\ 25,00,5c,00,54,00,45,00,4d,00,50,00,00,00 [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Environment] "TEMP"=hex(2):25,00,55,00,53,00,45,00,52,00,50,00,52,00,4f,00,46,00,49,00,4c,\ 00,45,00,25,00,5c,00,41,00,70,00,70,00,44,00,61,00,74,00,61,00,5c,00,4c,00,\ 6f,00,63,00,61,00,6c,00,5c,00,54,00,65,00,6d,00,70,00,00,00 "TMP"=hex(2):25,00,55,00,53,00,45,00,52,00,50,00,52,00,4f,00,46,00,49,00,4c,00,\ 45,00,25,00,5c,00,41,00,70,00,70,00,44,00,61,00,74,00,61,00,5c,00,4c,00,6f,\ 00,63,00,61,00,6c,00,5c,00,54,00,65,00,6d,00,70,00,00,00 Change them manually on your computer to capture the new values and apply them using a REG file.

They are for Mobile devices, not for desktop software.

I made my own shortcuts and use them with an SFX archive. They work fine. Here are they: rundll32.exe ffdshow.ax,configureAudio rundll32.exe ff_vfw.dll,configureVFW rundll32.exe ffdshow.ax,configure I stripped the path to make it clearer here. Also, the start in folder is just FFDshow's installation dir, check that in your script.

Windows Installer CleanUp Utility is always my friend when I encounter some problems with installations in other computers I provide service to.

the new DISM tool can remove features too but you need to get used to it. I haven't tried to remove features because I don't need to, but I'm using it instead of imagex and pkgmgr...

Then you need to use the original installer for that, but i don't know how to supress the windows that opens up after the installation. You can try /supressmsgboxes switches along with /silent /norestart /sp- Other options is to monitor the installation for changes to see what is needed to enable browser monitoring.

As i use Flashgot extension with Firefox i set it to use Orbit. You can try to register some dll files in the installation folders to see if monitoring in Firefox works.

Hi Elajua, Thanks for your reply, I went on to firegeiers website but its down ; not accessible ; have you got the document you can email me ; digeratimag at gmail dot com Thanks and regards Download the PDF ricktendo posted for the guide and also read the documentation that WAIK installs, it is very extensive and covers most topics.

I copy Setupcomplete.cmd to Windows\Setup\Scripts (you may need to manually create this Scripts folder) inside the WIM image. It is weird that you are getting that black background. Maybe you are installing video drivers manually in your scripts? I ceased to do that with my personal installations because sometimes in my desktop i got corrupted or weird video from the first login. It was fixed when rebooting after all my stuff installations ended...

Around 750-900mb in my laptop with 4gb of RAM. I have Kaspersky Internet Security 2010, Orbit Downloader, MailBell and other startup processes for applications i use.

You can extract my installer files and run itunes.msi TARGETDIR="F:\iTunes" to install it there or in another location.

You can make an SFX archive to install it if you extract the files with Universal Extractor. There are only two folders need it: The program files folder and the one in AppData\Roming which is called Orbit. If you want, try my custom installer in MSI format (link in my signature). I just uploaded the latest version a while ago today.

The folder structure is right as well as copying instalar.cmd to the root of the WIM image. The command to call instalar.cmd in FirtsLogonCommands is like this: <FirstLogonCommands> <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <CommandLine>cmd /c %systemdrive%\instalar.cmd</CommandLine> <Description>apps</Description> <Order>1</Order> </SynchronousCommand> </FirstLogonCommands> You can call additional commands if you need to (in my case I don't). The <Order>1</Order> tag determines the order in which each command will be run. And last, a quick view of my install.cmd file: FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\AppsRoot.txt SET DVD=%%i: : Microsoft Stuff start /wait %DVD%\Install\microsoft\netfx35sp1\dotNetFx35setup.exe /qb /norestart start /wait %DVD%\Install\microsoft\netfx35sp1\dotNetFx35langpack.exe /qb /norestart start /wait %DVD%\Install\microsoft\netfx35sp1updates\KB958481.msu /quiet /norestart start /wait %DVD%\Install\microsoft\netfx35sp1updates\KB958483.msu /quiet /norestart start /wait %DVD%\Install\microsoft\netfx35sp1updates\KB958484.exe /quiet /norestart start /wait %DVD%\Install\microsoft\directx\dxsetup.exe /silent start /wait %DVD%\Install\microsoft\cpp2005.exe /Q:A /R:N start /wait %DVD%\Install\microsoft\cpp2005sp1.exe /Q:A /R:N EXIT
