    The Specified Image file did not contain a resource section

    in Unattended Windows Vista/Server 2008

    Posted

    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...

    Windows 7 new Start Menu shortcuts

    in Unattended Windows 7/Server 2008R2

    Posted

    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.

    Whats causing this low disk space

    in Windows Vista

    Posted · Edited by ajua

    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.

    AHCI/NCQ Problem

    in Windows 7

    Posted

    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.

    Use DISM to change TEMP directories

    in Unattended Windows 7/Server 2008R2

    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.

    ffdshow shortcut

    in Application Installs

    Posted

    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.

    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.

    Windows 7 Beta + WAIK 7

    in Unattended Windows 7/Server 2008R2

    Posted

    To get started, copy the contents of the dvd to a folder on your hard drive, open install.wim (located in sources folder) with WAIK and add a new XML file. You can then read the documentation that comes with WAIK to make you Autounattend.xml file.

    But, it would be better to read Firegeier's guide for unattended Vista first, since all the principles are the same for Windows 7.

    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...

    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
