You've found the Ultimate Bug This script will not show that error : SET UUCDDRIVE= FOR %%i IN (c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\UCD SET UUCDDRIVE=%%i: IF NOT DEFINED UUCDDRIVE ( ECHO. ECHO Ultimate Update CD not found. ECHO. PAUSE GOTO :THERE ) CHDIR /D %SystemDrive%\ MKDIR UOS CHDIR UOS XCOPY %UUCDDRIVE%\ALL . /E /C /I /Q /H /Y IF EXIST %UUCDDRIVE%\PDC XCOPY %UUCDDRIVE%\PDC . /E /C /I /Q /H /Y :THERE

This tool can create shortcuts to non-existing targets.

7-Zip SFX does not work as WinRAR SFX... Follow this guide : http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=39048 BUT place all your files into a subfolder named "Programs" inside the archive. Add startx.exe at the root of the archive (search on the forum for it) Create a install.cmd file like this one (it must be in the same folder as startx.exe) : @MOVE /Y "Programs" "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Start Menu" To resume, your archive will look like that : Archive.7z | +- StartX.exe | +- Install.cmd | \- Programs | +- <your shortcuts> | +- ... Use this config.txt file : ;!@Install@!UTF-8! RunProgram="startx.exe /wait \"install.cmd\"" ;!@InstallEnd@! Now you can make the SFX with 7zS.sfx + config.txt + Archive.7z (see the link at the top for details) PS: note that the "Programs" folder in the archive will go to the "Programs" folder in the start menu. Do not create a second "Programs" inside it

You should also check if the admin has not put restrictions on that, as said in the setlocal help page : @ECHO OFF VERIFY OTHER 2>NUL SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 ECHO The current directory is %CD%

Reinstalling windows to show these entries is not an "easy" solution IMHO

here is a solution to name a file using YYYYMMDD format, providing that system date format is MM/DD/YYYY @echo off setlocal enableextensions set arcname=MyDocs_%date:~-4%%date:~0,2%%date:~3,2%.7z echo Making archive : %arcname%... rem call 7za here

Thnks ! But there's nothing new

gunsmokingman, you should write "The Current Dirctory is :", and there will be nothing more to add (except a reg add... command to change the console font maybe ?)

I had the same problem with a Canon camera. I uninstalled the driver, rebooted, and reinstalled everything, and it worked. But if you have system restore, you should restore your system at the state it was last week... who wants an update that mess it all ???

Now, THIS is a GREAT license agreement. Someone sends it to MS ?

Use the %CD% variable... (read the end of the SET /? help page for others like this one) You have also %~dp0 for the full qualified path to the batch (read the end of the FOR /? help page for others like this one -- using "0")

MyUninstaller by NirSofer on http://www.nirsoft.net/ It can show the entries Windows hides.

Some temp files may be needed during the next boot, so it's not safe to do that before shutdown. one workaround (implemented in the cleanmgr tool of winxp) is to delete temp files only when they have not been accessed since a few days. to automate this, run "cleanmgr /sageset:55", check the options you need and click OK. then, create a shortcut to "cleanmgr /sagerun:55" in your startup folder and the cleanup will run every time windows starts if you're not using xp, you can google for other tools (CCleaner,...)

Look for tha batch i've posted into the HFSLIP forum, it should make the .INF file for you. but then you'll need to run HFSLIP (or add the files by hand) PS: no, translate was meaning "convert" (from the RegShot format to another one windows understands)... sorry for my bad english

Hell... next time i'll look at the dates... silly me :(

Hi, I've made a batch to slipstream the fonts during textmode setup, which makes them available for setup billboard customization for example. you only need to run the batch before running HFSLIP... it's based on the FontInst.exe tool, so you'll need to have it in your HFTOOLS folder ("detailled" instructions in the batch) Take care when viewing/editing, there is TAB characters that must remain TAB characters (the batch does nothing if they becomes spaces, except telling your online bank to send me all your money) FONTSLIP.ZIP

Yes, you only need to have the custom fonts installed during textmode, wich requires to edit the hive infs (or nlhive.inf) 'coz each font file needs an entry in the registry. example of what it should look like in the inf : HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts","Britannic Bold (TrueType)",0x00000000,"BRITANNIC.TTF" look into hivesft.inf for more samples (the windows fonts are there)

msiexec /i x86usmt.msi REBOOT=ReallySuppress TARGETDIR=%SystemRoot%\System32\USMT /passive the "/passive" switch needs msi 3.1 ; use "/qb-" if you have not Maybe you'll need to make an admin install point first, i'm not sure

You're sooooooooo lazy ! 1/ create a folder somewhere on your disk. ex: C:\MySounds 2/ copy in it your own_personal_and_so_loved wave files 3/ rename them according to this list : XPBalln.wav = tooltip XPBatCrt.wav = critical battery alarm XPBatLow.wav = low battery alarm XPBlkPop.wav = pop-up blocked (IE) XPCrtStp.wav = critical stop XPDef.wav = default sound XPDing.wav = Ding XPError.wav = Error XPExcl.wav = Exclamation XPHdFail.wav = hardware failure XPHdInst.wav = hardware plugged XPHdRem.wav = hardware un-plugged XPInfBar.wav = info bar (IE) XPLogoff.wav = log out XPLogon.wav = log in XPMenu.wav = menu command XPMin.wav = minimize XPNotify.wav = notify XPPrint.wav = print complete XPRecycl.wav = empty recycle bin XPRestor.wav = restore XPRingin.wav = ring in XPRngout.wav = ring out XPShutdn.wav = poweroff XPStart.wav = start menu XPStartU.wav = starting windows 4/ hit start > run and type in "cmd" in the run box, then the following commands : CD /D C:\MySounds FOR %w IN (*.wav) DO (MAKECAB /D CompressionMemory=21 /D CompressionMethod=LZX %w) 5/ get the C:\MySounds\*.wa_ files and copy them in the i386 dir that all folk...

IIRC, this file is really missing on the windows CD maybe the winnt32 setup gets a list of installed drivers ? you can either : - add the DriverPack Chipset to your cd - add only the VIA drivers to your cd - always launch install by booting from cd 'coz it works (and install the driver after windows installation)

An INF shows a "copying files" window if there is at least one CopyFiles= section or one AddReg= section in the Install section being processed (and that window "stucks" during all the install process, but the progressbar shows only the copying process). I don't use [GUIRUNONCE], but if it allows command line parameters you can use StartX.exe to hide the cmd window before it's creation : X:\Path_to\StartX.exe /WAIT /B Z:\Path_to\YourBatch.cmd (search on the forum for a DL link to StartX) That's less "ugly" that using CMDOW @ /HID (I guess that's you're using, am I right ?)

Some programs had this look 10 years ago... for example, some UI used for CDs shipped with magazines ! the bigger the compagny is, the bigger the retard is...

The path to the files to delete for a DelFiles section must be specified via the DestinationDirs section. Add this to your inf : [DestinationDirs] cleanup=16409 16409 is the "magic number" to specify the "%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop" folder. (taken from here) Also, you should change the signature to "$Windows NT$", 'coz your INF may not run on 9x. See also this site and clik "Infs" in the top menu

For sure it can ! The two folders (FIX & APPREPLACEMENT) are used to replace any file in the i386 dir and/or the driver.cab file EDIT: I hope that this post is not the "stupid post" you're targeting at. I had no problem with your posts, I were only giving you more detail (I believed it could have interested you)

HFSLIP can do it, using the "HFEXPERT/APPREPLACEMENT" folder and/or the "FIX" folder. The only "real" difficulty is to rename your files (WAVE, THEME, etc...) as they are on the Windows CD, in the 8.3 form. (look into txtsetup.sif for the correspondances)
