yes, i guess but i like being able to install programs and then configure them, so when they install unattended at lets say my moms house, i dont have to go configure them. then if they need something i can use vnc or servu to help them without ever having to go there. and if they screw something up, its unattended so they cant give the wrong answer.

i never have any problems you get it at www.epsilonsquared.com and i found the link for it in the msfn tutorials section a long time ago. what you have to do is have a clean install (even a VM install will work) run the program, it records how everything is. then you run your installer then it records all the changes that were made including registry,ini files and so on. to avoid the problems this guy was having. everytime you install a new program to make an installer, close it before you start the next one. you cant leave programs running that are gonna make changes between the snapshots or the program will pick them up and include them changes. cant blame the software for his mistake. if you want to setup the application exactly how u want it then when it asks to take the second snapshop, just tell it to wait and go setup the app then when your done setup the snapshot.

i have a dvd burner, thanks anyway but most people who i setup windows for dont have a dvd drive. i make unattended installs so my family doesnt have to make me come over everytime they need something. the discs i give them always install vnc and servu so i can do all my maintenance remotely if possible!

How Come Nobody Uses Installrite? you can install your apps, set them up however you want them,register them do whatever then save it all into a silent exe. it works fine for the following programs Daemon Tools Dreamweaver Emule Firefox+Extensions Photoshop (Removed Imageready) Flash For Firefox Sun Java Nero Newsbin Quickpar Serv-u +Accounts+Access No-IP Ip Updater Soulseek Ad Aware Spybot Trillian Real VNC Winamp Winrar ive used it for alot more, but thats currently whats working perfect on my silent install. it also sets my fonts,active desktop and window settings exactly how i want them, just take a snapshot, change everything you want changed and then take your second snapshop and save the changes to a silent exe anyway my whole point is , im just curious why nobody uses it?

is it possible to split my windows setup into 2 cd's? i know that wouldnt really be UNATTENDED, but it can be almost unattended that way
