Are you using the x64 version of RT Se7en Lite.

It is easier and quicker when adding other drivers to just add drivers to DVD\sources\$OEM$\$1\Drivers folder that have to edit mount and edit wim files.

You can download an MSI version of foxit reader from foxit site it does not have ASK.COM toolbar.

look windows-7-enterprise-autounattend should be simmilar

Do you have anything else constructive to say? /fail Not really I was just telling the truth, the only person really contributing any more in this thread is grabben. He is left to defend Blue, everyone can be busy but not that busy that in over 3 months Blue can't even come on and let members know what is happening with the project.

The only thing that should be quit is this dead project and thread

You can also download XML Notepad 2007 from microsoft it will help with formatting xml files.

Setupcomplete.cmd should be in \sources\$oem$\$$\setup\scripts

I misunderstood post, thought DineshBhat was trying to install to existing system partition.

Probably the same as Installshield look Switches

yes same 64 bit I had to do this anyways [ExamDiff_Pro_x64] REM http://www.prestosoft.com/ps.asp?page=edp_examdiffpro REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /VE /D "ExamDiff Pro 5.xx 64bit" /f the x64 makes it grab things from Program Files and not Program Files (x86) when it copies Trying to work out a problem after installed SP1 where I get a dialog box saying not found when moving folders so I have to image back to Sp1 and try something with ProcessMonitor. The windows system image works quite well although a bit slower and creates larger WindowsImageBackup folder OOPS forgot about that sorry M8

Yes since vista if you have Autounattend.xml on floppy or usb thumbdrive windows will use it.

They are now Inno Setup including the 64 bit version which is really faster REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /V Inum /D "CMD /C Start /Wait %SystemDrive%\APPS\ExamDiff_Pro_64\edpro50_64bit.exe /SILENT /SP-" /f Yes Van i know they are innosetup, but the autoit script was altered so both 32 and 64 bit versions could be installed even with version number changes so no more need to alter appswitch.dat file. Can you confirm the Flags registry entries for 64 bit version are they the same as 32 bit ?

Van could you confirm entries for x64 version.

Yes the install.wim will be smaller without the Files folder. I saved nearly 100mb in my scenario. What i don't understand is if each of those folders represent versions of windows 7 in the wim image surly there should be 5 folders in x86 install.wim i,e from starter to ultimate.

you could add this to bottom of your SetUpComplete.cmd :Cleanup del /F /Q %systemroot%\setup\scripts\SetUpComplete.cmd

ricktendo64, thanks but as I stated in my first post my AutoUnattend.xml is in my boot.wim (#2) - learned this in your video for USB. My USB stick install works fine. I will try renaming to Unattend.xml. Thanks, John. EDIT: I have tried several things but continue to be asked for my RAID driver. Setup does seem to be using the Unattend.xml when I run the setup.exe in the Sources folder (no asking for EULA accept) and have the Unattend.xml file in my boot.wim#1. I went ahead and did a brute force and placed it in the boot.wim#2, at the root of the main folder and in the Sources folder (I used the command line from Tripredacus). I suspect the fact that the RAID driver is not being picked up indicates that all my drivers are missing. I have some more work and trials to do. Thanks all. EDIT again: After further inspection, I see that the drivers are present. I still do not know why Setup cannot find the RAID drivers (3Ware-LSI). These drivers are unsigned and they were injected with the ForceUnsigned switch. Have you injected drivers into boot.wim image 2

Brilliant, but I am accessing the system via Hiren's Boot CD. How can I retrieve the necessary info? Many, many, many thanks... You could make up bootable XP floppy and use Simple KeyFinder just copy it to bootable floppy disk.

I wrote a script to do this, it's primary purpose was to "pre-activate" a Windows 7 install DVD but it grew to also install drivers, updates, setup background customization and a few more things. [link removed] Is this not the preactivation kit from MDL.

Look at This post.

Easiest way is delete ei.cfg file and don't have image selection in autounattend.xml that way one dvd can install any version all version of windows are on the dvd except enterprise then you only need x64 and x86 dvd or you could make x64/x86 dvd.

If the OS is still on the machine but you cant boot into windows, You just need to boot from a PE cd and use Jellybean keyfinder it can load in registry hive and get key or you could use Simple Keyfinder which can run from dos i,e bootable floppy or usb thumbdrive. But to be honest it it owners responsibility they should know the key and also have Install dvd or recovery partiton. also even if you do find the key version means nothing you still won't know if it is OEM SLP, OEM , or Retail key without a pid checker also for OEM SLP machines you need SLP key and also .xrm-ms certificates
