email it to me I'll make it available. bah at webmedic dot net by the way how did you do this? Could you do it to the dll that does windows file protection and last is it for service pack 1?

it's not and Since i have not seen it I cant say one way oir the other but after the teime spent converting my install over to inf files which does the same thing I dont hink I'll go for it. Like iasaid though I have not seen it yet so I cant really say for sure.

so if .net is not yet installed on the target system how would this work? IT wont?

this is nice but what does it look like. It only crashes whith an error on my system.

yea me too I'll see you safter lunch some time as tomarrow morning will be busy for me.

hm not sure why it is there. Yup i checked it out and I had the wrong dir for it. Thanks for finding that. Wonder why I never noticed it. Well now I'm in for it. that one thing will probalby break it all when i stuff it into the right directory.

yes your config filea are not the ones I use and they should be fine. here is my 1 dir 1\KB820291.EXE 1\KB821253.EXE 1\KB821557.EXE 1\KB823559.EXE 1\KB823980.EXE 1\Q322011.EXE 1\Q323255.EXE 1\Q327979.EXE 1\Q328310.EXE 1\Q329048.EXE 1\Q329115.EXE 1\Q329170.EXE 1\Q329390.EXE 1\Q329834.EXE 1\Q810565.EXE 1\Q810833.EXE 1\Q811493.EXE 1\Q814033.EXE 1\Q814995.EXE 1\Q815021.EXE 1\Q815485.EXE 1\Q817606.EXE 2 dir 2\js56nen.EXE 2\KB822964.EXE 2\q330994.EXE 2\Q810577.EXE 2\q818529.EXE 2\q822925.EXE and my 3 dir 3\Q823718_.EXE so just a quick look says you have a few hotfixes in you 1'st dir that I dont have. Namely KB824105.EXE as for dir 2 I have one you dont. This one Q810577.EXE. Not shure exactly what those are but try using the ones I use

just curious did you use some horry reg hacks or anything? also to note that there are a few other places were that stuff can be tunred off. For instance in my install I have it setup to install mozilla and use it by default. I also dont use the virus infested piece of garbage known as oe. So I know they can be turned off beacsue I do that to them. Come to think of it are you using my winnt.sif that I included with the hotfix installer? If so I did shut off oe in there. I have not found a way to keep ie from installing yet though I simply set mozilla as default. As for why ie would not be working I dont think i included any of my reghacks in that kit so you should not get anything like that from me. I can include them if you like though.

yea dont we all it takes almost twice as long to install as on bare machine.

the new do.cmd will autocreate it. I was trying to force the mdac hotfix to install through a cmd file. It sitll does not work.

ti will be a part of your installer. Just a little more automatic now. For me I have it set up so that all the files I edit often are in files and then I use do.cmd to copy them into place. I decided that winntbbu.dll was a good candidate so I did't have to unpack it and pack it back up by hand all the time.

yes I know how to do it but I'm having problems automating it. If I find a way to automate it then I will post it.

ok got it also to note use the latest version of hte script it does loggin better. as for the kb you are having trouble wiht put it into the second folder and not the first one. I just emailed you my latest do.cmd

@ceez well no it modifyies the installer and slipstreems the hotfixes into the installer. So you will never see this stuff. @tbone2 jsut email it to me at the address bah at webmedic dot net

I'm not sure about this exactly here is a list of the hotfixes that I use. KB820291.exe /n /q /u /z KB821253.exe /n /q /u /z KB821557.exe /n /q /u /z KB823559.exe /n /q /u /z KB823980.exe /n /q /u /z Q322011.exe /n /q /u /z Q323255.exe /n /q /u /z Q327979.exe /n /q /u /z Q328310.exe /n /q /u /z Q329048.exe /n /q /u /z Q329115.exe /n /q /u /z Q329170.exe /n /q /u /z Q329390.exe /n /q /u /z Q329834.exe /n /q /u /z Q810565.exe /n /q /u /z Q810833.exe /n /q /u /z Q811493.exe /n /q /u /z Q814033.exe /n /q /u /z Q814995.exe /n /q /u /z Q815021.exe /n /q /u /z Q815485.exe /n /q /u /z Q817606.exe /n /q /u /z js56nen.exe /Q:A /R:N KB822964.exe /Q:A /R:N q330994.exe /Q:A /R:N Q810577.exe /Q:A /R:N q818529.exe /Q:A /R:N q822925.exe /Q:A /R:N Q823718_.cmd right of fhand the hot fix belongs in the second directory because it was the ie fix and requires different switches than the others but it works fine here. On another note make sure you dont aply the hot fix for windows media player 9.0 as it will not be installed at this point in the install. also send me a copy of your log.txt which is created by the new do.cmd. It dumps much info out which is very usable for me to figure things out with. bah at webmedic dot net

shell program? I'm not sure i understand. I use an inf installer that well it does the same thing as your installer more or less.

if you get an error about not finding a directory correcty it's the stupid mdac hotfix. I have yet to find a way to impliment it this way. I may have to do some things a little differently. I will most likely have to laod it through cmdlines.txt or at some other palce but at lest the files are still slipstreamed into the installer.

That could be. I know it's hard to keep track of them all. Have you tried the new script yet. It would be nice to have some feedback on it.

the same you way you make a bootable cd. You use the exact same switches but when it asks you what kind of project you want make shure to go down and select bootable dvd instead of bootable cd.

lol although I'm a programmer I program under linux and do php code. I'm kind of averse to vb and have never really looked at it much. Usually just long enough to barf and then get back to work. So I'm afraid I would not be much help with vb and also have no way to compile the stuff. So is there a way to shut off the cd checkbox if a second cd is not defined in the ini file. That could make it a little more automatic.

ok new and improved come and get it. This one will well it wont slice and dice for you but it will automaticly figure out the directory it is being run from. No more need to edit the file also to note it will now clean up after itself better and there is more logic now to add missing directories and things if they are missing. Enjpoy guys and let me know how it goes. This is still for testing but should work ok and is much improved.

yes after looking over what I had seen I understood a little better. On a side note why is it limited to only 40 applications? Also is there a way to use it twice maybe ot get more than 40 apps? I mean I know how I could use it twice now by simply putting it into another directory but I curious also to see what you have to say about it.

so is this to just setup your files or do you add it to your install.

ah ok yes I changed things around a little. I'm trying to get it set up nice to be able to be used easily by others. On side note I have added command line stuff so now you wont have to mess with the directory stuff any more. Let me test a little more and then I'll post it.

rmdir or rd will do that for you. Considering that they got rid of dletree in windows xp. For myself I downloaded the unix command rm and use that instead since it just works and rmdir was giving me all kinds of problems.

yes you have to edit do.cmd the problem is that the hotfixes in the hotfixes2 and hotfixes3 folder have to have absolute path and will not work like so ./tmp then have to have f:/wxppro/hotfixes/tmp. You need to edit the file by hand and place the correct paths in it. There should only be two of those one for the hotfixes in hotfixes2 folder and one in hotfixes3 folder. I'm working on a way to pass variables so that this can be a little easier but for now you will have to edit the file by hand. If you can not do that there is not much I can do to help you.
