sorry also to note I'm currently working on a nenhanced version that will ease things up a bit I hope. It should simplify things at any rate.

well i tried the transparent thing and transparecny does not work. In his case I would gess he editied the file and simply made it the same color as the background he is using.

on my first post I have a download that has all this. Better to start at the begining.

never mind my bit about deltree above windows 2000/xp uses rmdir instead. I got it already.

ok ok I wanted to add more to it first just keep in mind this works for me and it is much enhanced over the last versions. But there are still a few places that will need paths changed depending on were you put it on your system other than that it should all work well. As for the mdac no I even tried making a cmd file for it and loading it that way. If you have any ides on that beast let me know as I've done about everything I can to get it to work. Please test it like it is as I made a few small changes if it works then great but if not I would sure like any input. The problem is that under the graphic install paths are much different and so forcing it to go silent is not working properly. I would almost say that it may be impossible or at the least I may need to add it to cmdlines.txt and fiddle with it there. At the very least I can say the the catalog and all the files have been put into the installer but it will jsut not register as being there if it does not run through the installer routine.

better debug it will log everything. This version will aslo autorename the files if they are not 8.3 already then they will be when this script gets done with them. I have also set it up with a tmp directory so you will need a tmp directory were some of the hotfixes are extracted to. One more thing deltree is not on xp does anybody know of a way to delete direcories? This will dreat directories in the tmp directory but the del command will not delete directories one files. I would like to leave tmp completely clean when it is done.,

hm interesting. How does it handle the second cd? On another note does it work. I notice that you replace the dll's and stuff but dont require the removal of the cd which will cause this to fail since the system will pull hte origianl dll's from the cd which will still be in the drive. Other than that it looks good.

already tried that and wfp still gets it. Dirty little thing anyway

ok thanks for the update. If I find out anything else I'll let you know.

So just because I dont understand this was one of the last glaring issues I had . How do I get back the option to repair my installation. I dont mean right at the beggining I men when it would normally got to the partition thing and ask were you want it I'm missing the option to fix the current instellation.

lol no problem i will give you one. I'm also working on sime nice inf installers for reg tweaks. Hope you all like them. It makes it so that your reg tweaks can be uninstalled.

yes I just noticed that in my scripts also. Sorry about that guys.

Yes I will @bachus Ok I jsut got back let me look at thinga a bit and see the problem is that i have never even once had this sissue.. To note i use this patch with xp pro and you have to have sp1 slipstreamed into it first. Or else bad things could happen. I have not tested this at all on xp home. I'm still unsure as to why you get those error's at this time though.

yes hee using pcanywere or whatever it's called it takes forever to do an install. I'd say about 1 1/2 - 2 hours. this [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\$OEM$\$1\install\main_batch.cmd %systemdrive%\$OEM$\$1\install\hotfixes.cmd should be this [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\main_batch.cmd %systemdrive%\install\hotfixes.cmd

lol if you follow my way above it will take care of that for you. And your idea wont work because it has to be digitaly signed by microsoft to be able to replace it.

ah yes I have ben looking for a way to add quick lauch also. If you find one let me know.

lol your setup is the most messed up ive ever seen. well I can see where it would come in handy for some things but really you seem to have more problems than any other 10 people on here. I do hope you get it working and that you share you working setup when done.

well there are three directories that have hot fixes in them. The first one has all the hot fixes that use the old style icons on them. Then second folder holds the new style icon ones and the third is only for the mdac patch. However i have not got that working yet. It sounds like you have placed some hot fixes in the wrong directories. Also of note I finished up a new version last night that does renaming of the hotfixes so you no longer have to do it yourself. Another new feature is that it extracts the hotfixes in folders 2 and 3 to thier own directoiries now so that you dont get any command prompts. Once they are extracted only the newest files are copied into place so you are sure to have the newest files. It also adds logging so we can debug easier and last but not least I'm testing it right now and hopefully I will have the mdac patch finaly working. I still have not found a way around hard codeing the paths for the extraction for the hotfixes in 2 and 3. When i get it figured out I'll have it set so you can simply set your path at the top of the file and run it. In the futer Iwill add back some of hte features that were in the origianl. Most noteable after done with the testing phase I will make it so that the 5th directory (the compiled directory) will not be wiped but rather hot fixes will just apply on top of what you already have. At that point you will simply place any new hotfixes into the proper directory and then run do again and it will just add the newest stuff to your coimpiled directory. In this way you will not have ot compile from scratch each time.

ok when i was using that batch ot reg tweaks I used it like this. ;Stuff [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "Hidden"=dword:00000001 "ShowCompColor"=dword:00000001 "HideFileExt"=dword:00000000 "DontPrettyPath"=dword:00000000 "ShowInfoTip"=dword:00000001 "HideIcons"=dword:00000000 "MapNetDrvBtn"=dword:00000000 "WebView"=dword:00000000 "Filter"=dword:00000000 "SuperHidden"=dword:00000001 "SeparateProcess"=dword:00000000 "ListviewAlphaSelect"=dword:00000000 "ListviewShadow"=dword:00000000 "ListviewWatermark"=dword:00000000 "TaskbarAnimations"=dword:00000000 "StartMenuInit"=dword:00000002 "Start_LargeMFUIcons"=dword:00000000 "Start_MinMFU"=dword:00000000 "Start_ShowControlPanel"=dword:00000001 "Start_EnableDragDrop"=dword:00000001 "StartMenuFavorites"=dword:00000000 "Start_ShowHelp"=dword:00000000 "Start_ShowMyComputer"=dword:00000000 "Start_ShowMyDocs"=dword:00000000 "Start_ShowMyMusic"=dword:00000000 "Start_ShowMyPics"=dword:00000000 "Start_ShowPrinters"=dword:00000000 "Start_ShowRun"=dword:00000001 "Start_ScrollPrograms"=dword:00000000 "Start_ShowSearch"=dword:00000001 "Start_ShowRecentDocs"=dword:00000000 "Start_AutoCascade"=dword:00000000 "Start_NotifyNewApps"=dword:00000000 "Start_AdminToolsRoot"=dword:00000000 "StartMenuAdminTools"=dword:00000000 "TaskbarSizeMove"=dword:00000001 "TaskbarGlomming"=dword:00000000 "NoNetCrawling"=dword:00000001 "FolderContentsInfoTip"=dword:00000001 "FriendlyTree"=dword:00000000 "WebViewBarricade"=dword:00000001 "DisableThumbnailCache"=dword:00000001 "ShowSuperHidden"=dword:00000001 "ClassicViewState"=dword:00000001 "PersistBrowsers"=dword:00000000 "CascadeNetworkConnections"="YES" "StartButtonBalloonTip"=dword:00000002 "Start_ShowNetConn_ShouldShow"=dword:00000042 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General] BackupWallpaper"="c:\\windows\\web\\wallpaper\\Sunset.jpg" Wallpaper"="c:\\windows\\web\wallpaper\\The Beach.jpg" ok Notice i use hkey_local_machine so they appl to all users. Hope this helps.

hugh funny i just use filemirrors. I plug in the q####### and kb###### and it gives me a nice listing of downloads and I jsut grab one for my lang right from the microsoft mirrors. Nice and fast.

thanks it's gone.

I didn't mention paswords because he did not seem to hve any set in his scripts. Are you trying to tell me that if I dont use the reg hack that it will autologin as my user anyway and not the admin account to do the irst install stuff? At any rate it does work like it is. I'm wondering if maybe some of his other settings differ from mine in his winnt.sif but I dont see how that could be it as all the important stuff is looking like mine.

how are you doing it for a single user. Show the goods so I can see. If it's a reg file it's pretty easy to make it multiuser.

well i'm not sure about hte classic thing but if you look at hte desktop pic you wull see it is set to local machine already which is for all users.

not sure if this would block oyu up but this [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword="*" should be [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* I'm not sure why taht would keep you from loging in though. let me know if this works for you and yea no kiding i've been through about 50 cd-r's or more. I'm doing installs in virtual pc now to save myself from wasting to many more cd's

ok that makes sence but I can't help you there. I have seen some instructions for booting from a flopy and using a bat file for unatended install with custom winnt.sif files but I have never used this method. For the rest well I already know it works and I'm happy with my cooky cutter installs for my oem systems. I dont have to support a multy system network with this installer and so can use generic network setings instead of using domain authetication or any munber of other things. I wish you luck as I think most of the floppy stuff I have seen was actually for windows 2k and not xp wich seems ot do things just a little different.
