oh it was just some fun with gosh ...she is very pretty sorry if we made her fell bad. thats guys for ya and it doesn't matter what she ,he it is ...just wish i was as smart Thanks again gosh

WOW want to get married? sorry just messing with ya

I want pic's to prove it

Mine works great with mine unattended cd. Loading from cmd file...the reason I think it works is because quick lauch folder is not made till you turn on the feature ...I bypass this so I can customize the .lnk file to open the way I like. first I run the cmd from RunOnceEx here is all the scripting: RunOnceEx.cmd cmdow @ /HID @echo off SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Importing Registry Tweaks" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\registry.reg" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Cleaning Up and Rebooting" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\cleanup.cmd" /f EXIT CMDLINES.TXT [COMMANDS] "REGEDIT /S .\restoff.reg" "RunOnceEx.cmd" Both of them are in the $OEM$ folder cleanup.cmd CLS @echo off ECHO. ECHO Ejecting Windows CD... cscript %systemdrive%\install\cd_eject.vbs ECHO. ECHO Applying Registry Tweaks... REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\RegTweaks.reg ECHO. ECHO Removing Wallpapers and Screensavers... DEL "%systemroot%\*.bmp" DEL "%systemroot%\Web\Wallpaper\*.jpg" DEL "%systemroot%\Web\Wallpaper\*.bmp" DEL "%systemroot%\system32\dllcache\*.scr" DEL "%systemroot%\system32\*.scr" ECHO. ECHO Removing useless shortcuts...

ECHO Making Quick Launch Directory... MKDIR "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch" ECHO. ECHO Copying Windows Explorer link...

EXIT is in the $OEM/$1/install folder along with the .lnk files I want to show. This works everytime. Also this was with techtype's way of adding hotfixes (UpdateXP20) works great...thanks techtype. and I have use the same way with unattended sp2 beta split streamed. It is a very customized cd...and the tweaks are many...not going to list them here.

guess I did my quick launch a little different.... below is the code I used. CLS @echo off ECHO. ECHO Making Quick Launch Directory... MKDIR "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch" ECHO. ECHO Copying Windows Explorer link... COPY "%systemdrive%\install\*.lnk" "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu" ECHO. ECHO Copying Windows Explorer link... COPY "%systemdrive%\install\*.lnk" "\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch" ECHO. EXIT This made the quick launch active and I could add the .lnk file as I wanted to... Like %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n,/e,/select,C:\ would like it to be two rows but thats later I run that as part of my clean.cmd up after last boot. I would think you could change it to alluser fully and it would work no matter who login.

I would think the all distorted in color would be that it using wrong color depth.

I will get them logs to ya..asap but I go back to work tonight so limit time for testing. I did notice that KB817778 and KB822603 are install at different time then techtype's...(installed with the msi files) where as they are installed as type 1 hotfixes with techtype's Also may have made a mistake on the type of system this is a 1.1 AMD with 256 ddr ram and its the slow ram at best. the CD-rom is a little flakey so i say that this new makecd is just as fast as techtype's way. Now if I install your way on my main system bet it will be less then 35 minutes from boot to final boot... BTW got a kick out of the link you put for if this didn't work,(Microsoft .com) that was funny.

GreenMachine Well done SIR on the dos copy less then 9 minutes still installing...will edit this as the install completes. next big time area will be the 13 minute mark. EDIT It took 5 and 1/2 minutes for 13 minute mark still installing Total time to install 42:30...this is a great improvement on time windows update is 0 updates

Was glad i could be of help

Sorry for having me go though 15 minutes file copy ?...WTF Thats is what we are here to help each other....BTW I wasn't really question your timing methods I was questioning my system...hahahhahah Beside thats what I like doing is trying all these new ways...Ya know when your old , like me Hey when your ready with new version i have no problem testing. Once again thanks for putting up with me...and doing a great job that the rest of us wish we knew how to.

Well a job needs done this is what i did 1 took GM's CDROOT directory changed it to XPCD and ran ISO Creator for WinXP Pro.cmd sorry don't rem where i got it...from one of the great here ...using xpboot.img because this is the way i created ttp1 cd that only took 37.5 mins to install so we what to be the same way i guess... created the iso burnt it with nero. will install and see what we have...BTW i created the cd from dos not in a window... will let ya know EDIT: still slow copying files in dos part just some of the file are: modem.sys long time swenum.sys pjlmon.dll wdmavd.drv .chm files .icm files oembios.bin driver.cab alway take a little longer to copy gm.dll and many more...that normally just flashes by maybe this will help find the problem

ok i also did a install compare. from reboot of a formated drive to complete final reboot fully installed on a 1.1 ghz amd with a 52x cd-rom took 37.30 using techtype's install GreenMachine took 53.10 from formated boot to complete install. I do think this could have been just me...but thats a big time difference... BTW no bashing meant GreenMachine...I did notice you timed yours from after the dos copy point. this would have droped the time down alot..per it took almost 15 min to copy the files...have no reason why it took so long...possible a bad burn ? PLEASE don't be offended I would just like to find out if this was me ...or more like it my system its not the best test system Thanks again GreanMachine and techtype...it's enjoyable testing your guy's work and i do learn.

hey GreenMachine What speed was your test system ...cd-rom and cpu?... just wondering if i have the slowest **** system... i got 55 min to install thats a lot more then 28.04 .

Hello George

So we don't need Q828750 anymore?

final install with new cd no errors all update are installed thanks GreenMachine

I do beleave I found my mistake. Putting msi exe's in ROX2M directory ...doh also putting Q816093.EXE in the hotfx1 directory...seem this works ...so far Found where to put the .reg files too...wow reading really does help will let you know how it goes ....installing now also will time the install...I know it will take a little over a hour on this 1.1 gig...slow a** system but thats ok. Thanks to all that posted Edit post Install took 61 mins...only error i got was KB819639.EXE.... i don't think i need this one? and Windows update shows everthing is updated Thank you Q828026 - Update for Windows Media Player Script Commands, replaces Q819639 again i didn't read....someone slap me

Great job GreenMachine Just a few problems. 1 none of the msi hotfixes installed...no big deal, all but dotnet one 2 per your list Current HotFixes and Updates Q816093.EXE seems to be a type 1 not 2...it also did not install...gave error saying what switchs could be used Now this could be just me not the greatest at this stuff. I have moved Q816093.EXE to type 1 and will retest but all else works great. BTW where do i put the reg tweaks at ? I would like to thank all that have posted on this board I have learned alot....Also I have tried every version of unattended installs from webmedic to gosh to Aaron to you and have enjoyed them all...each one is a work of art. I have nothing bad to say about any of the ways that has been posted each has good and bad points. Looking forward to the next test Thank again

ok i cut a hole in my head....now pour all that ya know in....this board has so many great post ...don't think i have closed this web page down since i first came here. wish i could rem all you great peoples names that posted info Great Thanks to you all
