How do you supress the finding of a plug & play monitor without including the drivers for every monitor? I use my disk on all different types of machines. Its not like xp needs the drivers! When it comes up you need to click next, then it finds it then you have to click finish. Hardly unattended.

I have also seen this but have yet to see an answer.

Trying to customise many users profiles. The one stumbling block is the many apps reg settings all have individual SID numbers, this causes a headache for customisation. Changing one profile and coping it to the 'default user' profile causes headaches with permissions! (some users are admins some are not) How does everyone else deal with this?

Any chance you could fix up the images?

When I came to this board I was very suprised that this is not the case here! Most other boards have this style of sticky/pinned thread with links to the original threads. New ones get pinned for a couple of weeks then get joined into the main pinned thread as they get older.

Neither do I If (and a big IF )I get some more time I will see if I could eject the first cd and continue installing from the second. Then it would work anyway without the .dl Sounds great.

Does the new method check to see if you have a second cdrom or dvd drive and only eject the first cd and continue installing from the second one? Do we even need to eject now we have the hacked dll? Or does it just eject both and pop up a box with a message and wait for an ok type keypress?

This is great! I don't mind windows protection but I think its fantastic to be able to enable and disable it at will with just a reg key change. Great for our installs

Enclose the path string like "path here" that usally fixes the spaces in path names problem

That's a good find pity it can't find all cd letters. eg if I have two cdroms it could give back two variables (%cdrom%, and %cdrom2% etc) I don't want much do I

That's fine but I use this cd on different machines so I can't hard code the cd letter! Anyone?

I too have this issue? I rebuilt machine and it's no different! Any fix?

I think he means the admin password is needed for run as. My quick suggestion (as I would also like to get this working when I have time) Dont use a password for administrator in the winnt.sif Eg: AdminPassword=* If it still doesnt work try add /y after the command How? Let me know if it works

ATI drivers need dx9 to install! Just use the setup like for the control panel.

To run a 2nd CD you will have to have an exact drive letter and path your CD-ROM in your batch file on the Windows XP CD. This can be a problem if you decide to use your custom CD on another PC that may have different drive letters. e.g. instead of %systemroot%\install\Applications, you will have to use X:\Applications\ (X:\ being the CD-ROM Drive) You can use a variable to do this So you will only have to change one line of code Set CDRom2=X: "%CDRom2%\extra path here" would equal "X:\extra path here" But this is still not good enough for me as I have a DVDRom and a CDRW. I would like to put a cd in each drive and walk away! (and have them eject at the appropriate times) I am sure we could get a batch or something to seek out as many drives as we have and assign them to variables etc. E.g. seach you computer for optical drives and automatically asign their drive letters to variables I just don't have a lot of time atm!

You can, but to run the 2nd CD you will have to have an exact drive letter and path your CD-ROM in your batch file on the Windows XP CD. (This can be a problem if you decide to use your custom CD on someone else's PC that may have different drive letters) e.g. instead of %systemroot%\install\Applications, you will have to use X:\Applications\ (X:\ being the CD-ROM Drive) Long reply was here Realised it would benifit more people in a new thread, I'll call it Optical drive variables & second CD install LINK HERE
