tpipe, I think you should compress your edited file (makecab WINNTBBU.DLL) then replace both WINNTBBU.DL_ and WINNTBBU.DLL in the I386 folder with yours. Just a thought.

If The Saint or anyone else hasn't figured out something yet, the way I found to see how my setup screen will look is to save the XP CD as an iso and then mount the image on a virtual drive (created by CloneCD or Alcohol 120%). From there you should just choose to install XP. (But don't go any further!.......... ......Unless you want to)

The unattended switch for CloneCD is /S (case sensitive). But it will ask you to reboot afterwards, though. No one has figured out how to bypass that yet. Don't know about Winimage.

After unattended installation is completed, the Adaware plugins I installed leaves 3 folders and 3 .dll files on my C: drive. The problem I have is that they are not being moved to the Adaware\Plugins folder I specified. What am I doing wrong? echo Moving Adaware Plugins Folders.... move /S %systemdrive%\FileSpecsUninstall %systemdrive%\Progra~1\Lavasoft\Ad-awa~1\Plugins\ move /S %systemdrive%\HexDumpUninstall %systemdrive%\Progra~1\Lavasoft\Ad-awa~1\Plugins\ move /S %systemdrive%\LSPExplorerUninst %systemdrive%\Progra~1\Lavasoft\Ad-awa~1\Plugins\ move %systemdrive%\*.dll %systemdrive%\Progra~1\Lavasoft\Ad-awa~1\Plugins\ echo.

Maybe you should try installing it twice before rebooting. It's what I had to do.

Will it work if I put it after the User is created but BEFORE I copy the .jpg file to the Web\Wallpaper directory?

So there is no way to change it then?

Maybe. But how? Where?

No, no, no, I need to change the wallpaper before I login. That is, before the GuiRunOnce command is executed. (I don't think you can get to the Application Data folder until you've logged in. Or I could be wrong, I don't know)

OK, here goes..... I'm using the windows update method to install my applications and hotfixes. My question is: how to change the wallpaper from the default setting as seen here..... http://www.aaronstevens.fsnet.co.uk/window..._unattended.jpg to one specified by me? I've setup the user but don't know what to do next. And also: why doesn't the Drivers folder get deleted when the installation is complete? echo Deleting Temporary Installation Files.... RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\Install RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\Drivers echo. exit

I'm very interested in this WinRAR self-extracting replacing files stuff. Can it replace folders as well? (I'm sorta new to WinRAR)

Has anyone managed a silent install of Webroot's Spy Sweeper 2.1? I tried the /VERYSILENT /SP- switch but no dice.

Westi, have you found a way to install the plugins in Ad-aware?

Ugh. The /s switch doesn't work for Webshots. Maybe it's just me.

The method I use isn't working, DaveXP, so if you don't mind can I try it your way? Or put them in the batch file how?

Yes, yes, scankurban, tell me more about Winrar and this self extracting stuff. More precisely, where to put the command to execute the self extracting file and where to point the extracted files to. (For example, I would like to replace the original aceutils.exe with a patched one. And replace the Collections folder in Webshots with a new one) P.S. Your site is not in English so I don't understand but I already have Ace Utilities.

My Video Card is an nVidia Geforce4 MX 440SE with AGP8X but the drivers aren't being installed. Here's part of my winnt.sif [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS Repartition=No UnattendSwitch="no" WaitForReboot="No" DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\Video;Drivers\Sound;Drivers\Modem;Drivers\Network" I copy all the files for the drivers in the Drivers\Video directory, as I do with the others, and nothing happens. And what bugs me is the Sound, Modem and Network drivers get installed with no problems. Why is this? (I'm using Windows XP Pro)

How to silently install these apps? I tried the /s switch for Ace Utilities but it didn't work.

Westi, both installations for Ad-aware and PowerDVD worked just fine except the new reflist.ref in Ad-aware did not replace the old one. Any idea why it didn't work? :/ This is what I have 'Copy the newest reflist.ref to the ad-aware folder overwrite the old one 'you have to check the path ! Set refl = fso.GetFile("%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Adaware\reflist.ref") refl.Copy ("%programfiles%\Lavasoft\Ad-aware 6\reflist.ref") Wscript.Quit

Ace Utilities anyone? Also, how to rename the .exe file in the Program Files directory and replace it with another during the silent install? This is what I did but it didn't work echo Installing Ace Utilities 1.82 echo Please wait.... start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\AceUtilities\ace182.exe /s echo. echo Copying Patched aceutils.exe.... ren %systemdrive%\Program Files\Ace Utilities\aceutils.exe aceutils.exe.bak copy "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\AceUtilities\aceutils.exe" "%systemdrive%\Program Files\Ace Utilities\" >nul echo. Am I on the right track?

I agree, as my efforts turned out fruitless. Now I just need to know how to silently install CloneCD?

What switches to install Webshots and Mozilla? :/

GreenMachine, as soon as I read your reply I installed CloneCD and sure enough, it was there again. But where does the program make this change? Since there is a way to add Services to the right-click of My Computer shouldn't it be somewhat the same? I'm going to have to search deep within the registry. Wish me luck.

Before I slipstreamed SP1a, "Close Tray" was an option on the right-click menu of my DVD-RW drive. Now it's no longer there. What gives? Can I add it back? I'm using Windows XP Pro.
