ah ok that is what I was thinking. You need to make sure and seperate them into the proper directories. I explain this in the begining of this thread.

well that part is being worked on but I have mostly been working oh getting my install fiels working correctly. I wont have anything ot test for a few weeks but I'll let everybody know. As for gui stuff well I just know oany gui stuff and I dont feel like spending the time to learn it. I'll leave that up to others around here.

hm your image is not comming through

Your script is fine: this stuff should just be included with any other house-keeping scripts that are running near the end of the install. I know, they tend to leave a lot of tid-bits hanging around ... but not on my watch! Right that was were I was thinking of adding them. Also did you nitice any side affects to deleting these files? Do you do it by hand? or do you have a script that does it alread? Also if it is a script is it automatic in that you dont need to add each new hotfix?

hm really I had not looked I will say it is cleaner than if these had been done any other method. Have you ever looked into %SYSTEMROOT% after you have been running it a while those little hotfixes make quite the mess. At any rate I could easily add some commands to clean it up nice and tidy. Thanks I had not looked at it.

gui schmooie. Well really it is a wast of my time as I dont do that kind of programming. I program web interface stuff like I'm a lead dev for postnuke. but realy as long as you can read it cant get much easier.

1) yes has to be there. Or else your hotfixes will not be installed correctly. No the file is modfied to allwo for hotfixes so the curent one will not work. 2) Yes it is only modified for third party raid ocntrolers. So this is not essential. 3) n othis is not for that and i have been talking to sepheris and it seems that allot of those things are not ment to be slipstreamed that way but I still do include them in the gui part of the setup through an inf file I usae to install dx9, movie maker 2, .net1.1, setup user stuff, thiings like that. 4) Yes I have the mdac istall fixed. It wont install like the others but I found a way arround it. 5) well it's using a bunch of predetermined names of files and they are not in every directory so yes that is normal. I'm doing a final test now and then I'll post some new installer files for you all to paly with then you can all have an installer just like mine if you want. Consider it beta if you wnat but I have used it many times. In the future I will add to my installer scripts to make it a compete install setup app. That is it will do hotfixes and compile all the bits and parts for you. I'm looking at includeing a few oyther tools seen here in these forums like the winnt.sif file tool and a few other things. It should turn out really nice.

TweakUILink = "c:\\install\\PowerToys\\TweakUI.lnk" TweakUILinkDest = "c:\\Documents and Settings\\All Users\\Start Menu\\Programs\\" I think that is about it. I have a few other cmd files I use to do the work that cant be dont through the inf file but I dont think those are want you want.

rm is actaully well it is kind of like deltree but I found that as I ran the script the supported command was rd or rmdir which ships with windows xp. Only problem is that the permissions were set funny on the directories so that rmdir would not touch them. So rm is a little unix util that also happens to be in the microsoft system extras that are not usually installed. It is just a much more powerfull version of deltree. It simply deletes things without barfing about perms and junk. on a linux box you never want to type rm -rf /* that will remove recursive folders and files starting at your root drive and it wont stop till it deletes itself. then it will finaly stop.

lol well remember hree I'm a linux sysadmin and also build windows boxen for customers. So having said that It's all batch file. All net no hoop. Off the moon so to speak. Really you can do allot with batch files. They are more stable, No memory leaks, run fast, and are easy to work on. What more could you ask for?

you know you have a problem with your forum. It is sending duplicate headers. so you get errors. And did you happen to know I'm one of the core devs for postnuke? You just had to use phpnuke didn't ya. Ok back on topic now.

well to be true it's not as bad as me but no were near as stable as my linux boxen. I have to admit here though that I'm working on this becasue I have customers that want xp so I figured why not customize it from the factory.

ok now on this I'm already working on the first one. And as for the second it would be failry easy but all my stuff is cmd scripts so a general registry tool might be better to use a gui verion. For me I'll simply include many reg files and depending on what the user wants they can choose certain reg hacks. It wont be quite as intuitive as the reghacks will not change but at least it will give them an option wich reg hacks to include. Also it will most likely be that I will do reghacks a bunch at a time so that ones that are simmilar will be grouped together in a single file.

well that would add them to your winnt.sif. By the way what does that portion of winnt.sif look like?

thanks for that I was using csscript instead of wsscript.

ok here is the thing for the registry it does not translate the %systemdrive% variable like everything else does so you have to provide that. Now I ried to make it as easy as possible for the majority of people by setting it up that way but if you want to do something really custom you will need to change that drive letter.

so still the problem is getting .net installed to begin with on the system before you can use this thing. For now my inf installers can do all this although not as automatic. I would still like to se this running and it may be a good solution for the final install part but during the guimode install I will still have to use the inf method since well there is no .net to use. I will have it like it is now installing the user stuff, .net, dx9, and a few other bits then after reboot when it goes to gui runonce this would be helpfull for not having to use so many scripts to get things done. I would still like to see it though. For the editor will it be able to laoded from the command line with a xml file as an argument?

ok no problem let me tidy up I have a few small bits to work out yet . Nothing big but I want it as perfect as I can get it. I'll test another install this morning and then most likely release. Like i want to get sun java to install. I think everything else is done though. After two or three weeks of work on it. Also to note the ati and nividia controle panle installers need more testing. I have only tested on virtual pc so far which has niether.

ok I have a batch file that does allot of work it checks for the install files and if it does not find the ones for my apps it asks for a 2nd cd then that batch itself lanches all the inf files to get the pretty looking stuff going. This does the grunt work. The inf installer then does most all of the installs. As a final thing the inf installer then calls my custom.cmd the custom does all my custom bits. It deletes unwanted backgrounds and screen savers. Deltes links off my desktop. Deletes some quick links. And does whatever little bits I need it also executes the vb script. The inf installer for some reason does not like to call vb scripts. I even call it correctly but oh well. Also to note i use a little progy called cmdow that hides my command windows so you dont see the ugliness. The custom.cms would also be were I would add custom favorites and the like If I used ie. I have also found a command line version of rar that does not need any reg hacks or the like ot get it working. It is compiled from linux sources for use on windows. I will most likely use 7zip though as it compresses better than rar by a fairly good amount. Rar is only about comaprable to microsofts cab. They both produce files very simmilar in size and although smaller than zip 7zip still beats them out. I had 16 megs of files zip cut them down to 13 megs cab and rar were about 10 megs and 7zip was 9 megs.

yes this is all mine. I have a few reg hack inf's that i created way back for windows 98 then i converted them to xp but i had never released them. When i found this I thought it would be perfect for this use so I tried it and it worked. If anybody would like I can release the reghack inf's. They make it so that they will show up under ad remove programs. If you dont like a specific reghack just go uninstall it.

yes I can laod msi files and make them install. This can be done from cmdlines.txt and also from guirunonce. They are not so pretty as they leave a cmd box open while installing and there is no way to get rid of it that i have found or else it aborts the install. The cmd box does not do anything it is just a blank blax box but still i would like to hide it. The only thing i have had an issue with is install shield programs. You have to load them through a batch file still but that you can hide so it does not look so bad. For some reason though even using the proper iss fiels i cant get autoinstall stuff to work properly. but then i had isues wiht those using just plain old batch files. Im thinking to maybe wrap them in a different installer that I can then use to install with. On a side note I also have set up scripts to only install the ati controle panle and nvidia sound controle panle if the drivers are installed and I let the installer do the drivers automaticly. It works out quite nice. amd you dont get drivers a bunch of controle panles you dont want.
