Martin Zugec Okey i actually did this I did a file called test.cmd in my root (c:\) then i put your command line in it and ended it whit pause then i change the *.log entries in the cmd file to *.qaz (and WindowsUpdate.log to WindowsUpdate.qaz) then i just created some *.qaz files and the WindowsUpdate.qaz in my windows dir then i executed the test.cmd file and it didnt work I did this just to test and see if it did indeed deleate just the other *.qaz files but not the WindowsUpdate.qaz I use Windows XP sp2

Hey Martin Zugec I tried your command but it seems to search for the files in C:\... So nothing happends! I changed the %windir% to %systemroot% and i tried to specify it whit: C:\Windows in your command line... do i need to execute it from somewhere special? gunsmokingman i haven´t tried yours yet. but if i want this script for say *.txt files i just change the *.log from everywhere in the script to *.txt right and then use the little ' mark on the letter of the filename i want to exclude right? And its alright to call upon this from cleanup.cmd right? thanx

Hi I was just woundering if there is a command to exclude one or two files when i use the: DEL "%systemroot%\*.log" I dont want the WindowsUpdate.log to be deleted Or do i then have to specify ALL the different *.log files i want to be deleted? And if i want to keep more than one file, how do i specify that? Also what are the different "Easy Paths"? like: %systemroot% = Windows dir %windir% = Is this the same? (dont know) %systemdrive% = X:\ (where x is the drive that windows is installed to) %ProgramFiles% = Program dir (specified in winnt.sif) %CommonProgramFiles% = Common Program files dir (can also be specified in winnt.sif) %CDROM% = The CDRom Drive I am doing my Cleanup.cmd file now and paths like the ones above can really help but the main question is main priority Thanx people!

Here is my tweaks.reg if someone could dubblecheck it i would be super glad give me comments and ideas Most of the tweaks are found here at the forum.

But not much about the CleanUp.cmd Maby something for someone with some overtime... make a good guide about CleanUp.cmd Thanx again people for a SITE OF WOUNDERS EDIT: I found this site regarding whats safe do del after install. http://www.hollow-refuge.net/Bold/viewtopic.php?t=387

Ill give the ENG version a shot.. cuz Win Update complains about it Thanx alot erik demon

Okey maby a dumb stupid question and it might be answered in the forums already, but i gave it a few searches and didn´t find it I need the link where i can download Windows Journal Viewer i have the swedish Windows XP SP2 so i need the orginal file from MS Anyone have the link to Windows Journal Viewer? Thanx

Hi Windows Journal Viewer shows up in my windows update aswell but i dont seem to find it for download as a package! Anyone have the link to Windows Journal Viewer (i am a Swede as well so i will need it in Swedish) Thanx alot

If i decide to use the MSI for install whit the correct switches (/quiet /norestart) where shall i run it from? SVCPACK or RUNONCEEX? thanx

Well i know i can´t INTERGRATE it "Switches: KB890830.exe /q (cannot use the /integrate; option)" but i just want to RUN it from the svcpack.inf that must be ok right?

Have a few questions on the following (this is taken from the Sticky HOTFIX post) I am using svcpack.inf *** NEW *** KB890830 -› Microsoft® Windows® Malicious Software Removal Tool V1.4 Download -› 474 KB (May 10, 2005) Switches: KB890830.exe /q (cannot use the /integrate; option) Can this one only use the /q switch? not /q /n /z /o only /q switch? and it wont restart the install? becouse when i run the /? on this one i only see the /q that i can use, but when i run /? on any other hotfix i dont see the /z switch anywhere so i figgure there are switches that might be hidden!? And this one? KB873374 -› Microsoft GDI+ Detection Tool Download -› 216 KB (September 21, 2004) Switches: KB873374.exe /Q:A /R:N (HALT BOX) import this registry setting instead: REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\GdiDetectionTool" /v "GDITool" /t REG_DWORD /d "00000001" /f I am not sure i quite get this! "import this registry setting instead:" Instead? And where does the: REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\GdiDetectionTool" /v "GDITool" /t REG_DWORD /d "00000001" /f line go? in RuneOnceEx or a .reg file that i import (imort from where?) Thanx in advance EDIT: Yes one more thing! I can add the dotnefw.exe to the svcpack.inf right? if so any notes about it? shall i put it first of the hotfixes or last or somewhere in the middle (maby it needs to be in some special order) Thanx again

Okey i now did and install on Virtual PC whit my Win XP SP2 Orginal CD (Not Unattanded) and when it installed the network, it complained about that i already have another computer (my live one) whit that Computername i tried to put in during installation! So i just typed in a new one (a box poped up, said i need to choose something else) Maby that could have been the problem? And if this was the problem how can i resolve it so when i later on use my final cd/dvd and all of my computers here at home whit my network will use the cd, they will all be installed whit the same User Name and therefor f**k up during installation. Anyone know?

Yes i have BOOTFIX.BIN in my i386 dir The thing is this: 1. I start Virtual PC 2. I Boot using my winxp.iso 3. Choos partition and format the drive 4. Start installing 5. Copying files in text mode install 6. Reboots and the Windows XP logo shows 7. Starts to initilizing and installing drivers (39 min left) 8. Installing Network 9. Reboots 10. NOW HERE IS THE PROBLEM Now a screen comes up saying "Installation Restarts....." And it starts over from 7. Starts to initilizing and installing drivers (39 min left) I haven´t have the option to test it on a live PC and i haven´t tested if the orginal cd works (the orginal cd is a copy that i made some time ago whit WinXP and SP2 Slipstreamd) Ill test that and ill see what happends. Meenwhile, any other sugestions All that i have done in the new ISO is SVCPACK the hotfixes and i have slipstreamd Medai Player 10 using BTS´s method. Thanx

Hi Okey i have made an ISO file that seems to work fine only thing on it is Windows XP SP2 + Hotfixes When i test it using virtual machine the Installation restarts when 39 min remain and it keeps "Initilizing Devices" and "Installing Devices" over and over again Anyone?

I come to think of something else of great importance! In what order do i need to apply the hotfixes... Take Dot NET for instance. I do need to have v1.1 intergrated before i apply the service pack for it right? Are there any other fixes like this that needs special install order???? EDIT: i am now seriously thinking of using the svcpack.inf option but can i install .NET from here and other tools? or can i ONLY apply hotfixes from here?

Hi Okey first of all i have searched the forum and i have googled some... But i just get a headace from all different methodes. Here goes: I have The Swedish version of Windows XP SP2 and i have now downloaded around 40 or 50 Hotfixes, Small tools (as CalcPlus and Mal. File Remover and such) and Ms Dot NET and so on.

I tried to use nLite but i am now unsure if all of the files i tried to intergrate actually work Anyone understand my problem? care to help me out? thanx

Hello! Okey first of all i have searched the forum for a while whitout results on this matter. (could be lack of my english skills could be a lack of wrong keyword i dont know) But i could not find anythig. So here is the problem. Is there a way to specify a install path for the programs i add to my RunOnceEx.cmd? some programs (and games) tend to install to "C:\Program Files\Company Name\Some Other folder Name\Program Name Dir\" for example I still want the unattended install to pass me by totaly unnatended but i want to have Pre Specified the programs install path. I have changed the winnt.sif file so all programs should by default install to my specified dir from in there but i still want to manually direct every single program from RunOnceEx.cmd (or from some other file if needed) to where they are gonna be installed to! Thanx ppl for a great resource

Thanx for all the help highly appriciated. (ill probably need help with something else soon, i just can´t stop doing this unattended DVD now)

Hi everyone okey for starters, i am in my third day of discovering the whole Windows Unattended world i have viewd the guide on http://unattended.msfn.org and i like it alot i can say that i dont have any good knowledge about this at all but as far as i can see on thoose pages i do understand most of it. I am now trying to put all my apps i want on my new Win XP DVD and so far so good. trying to find the silent switches for my programs ither here or "on my own" with the help of ussf and peid and so on but on easy thing troubles me. please dont laugh at me here... How do i copy only one file over silently? I meen i have Media Player Classic for instance and its only one file the "mpc.exe" how do i just copy over that file to a dir of my choice silently? and where do i put the "copy tag" Thanx for any help

I use Media Player Classic. and for what cal_01 said that it lacks a play list... thats wrong. use Ctrl+7 or go into View menu and there is the playlist maby he is using an old version

is the INI support still there?
