It installs basic windows without $oem$ folder and other customizations. My $oem$ folder is out of i386 but i've already determined its place in OemFilesPath="D:\XPHD\$OEM$" section under [unattended]. pls help me about determining the problem thank in advance here are my related files. ============cmdlines.txt==================== [COMMANDS] "useraccounts.cmd" "UserRunOnce.cmd" ".\regt12\regtweaks.cmd" ".\cmds\RunOnceEx.cmd" ".\cmds\wincomp.cmd"" ".\cmds\temp.cmd" ========================================= ==========batch file.cmd====================== .\i386\winnt32 /s:D:\XPHD\I386 /unattend:.\unattend.txt /syspart:c: /tempdrive:c: :ASSUMİNG "D:\XPHD\I386" IS SOURCE PATH.

hello friends; i tried the same installation from my PC (not virtual machine) and it worked. thank you very much for your answers and your intention. gosh meanwhile i'm glad to meet you dont think that your answer goes in vain. at least i know where to start next time.

hello friends i've searched for the subject but i couldnt find anything about my problem so as a last chance i wanted to ask you. i am preapering an unattended instal from my D: partition and before i practise, i try it in a virtual machine. but those days i have a problem. in the virtual machine everything goes well except windows UI. after showing the windows UI with prgressing bar, setup restarts the system again saying "setup being restarted" and then again shows the windows UI and restarts again. this goes on and on... after a few times i realized that it gives a sudden error message like "virtual memory....blah blah" but i cant read exactly because it restarts again. if you enlighten me about this i'll be very happy thanks in advance

@Zxian hi friend i know office shrinker. but i cannot choose which components to install by means of it. it prepares an instant setup consist of previously determined parts. so i decided to search another way. and also i would like to do it manually. thanks anyway. and have a good day

hello friends there's something which i find very bright idea on my mind. as you know MS office consist of some parts like word excell powerpoint etc. but i dont want to install all these parts. of course i know how to to this by means of *.ops or *.mts files but what i wanna do is prepare a new setup file consisting of only the parts i want to install, not the other parts like outlook frontpage etc. in this case i will be able to reduce the size of setup files. do you know any method to do this ? if so pls help me show a link a web site whatever its is.

@laura thanks a lot laura. your solution is my first preference. i will try it. have a nice day

@Djé dear Djé i dont know how to thank you . thank you very very much. i will try it as soon as i reach at home...

hello friends just a simple question. i have searched and managed the other parts of the language and regional settings except this. how can i adjust this setting to my needs as in the picture by means of registry ? (or winnt.sif of course ) meanwhile i am sorry to load the picture in this way. i dont know how to paste in the topic after sending the topic i have seen that the picture is loaded just like i need. this is my first picture sending

@Doc Symbiosis hello friend i am too new this command but at least i know where to start can you provide an example batch file which does what i need for all the folders at d:/ partition ? thanks anyway

hello friends after installing my unattended CD at C:\ partition, i cannot have acces to my folders at D:\ partition without taking the ownwership of the folders manually. how can i prevent this ? thanks in advance

hello friends @djé thanks to you i found the problem; i disabled the registry tweaks first, nothing chanced. then i disabled the cleanup.cmd and result is same. but i could read the setuperr.log in windows directory. the problems was listed at setuperr.log and i saw that the files i integrate has caused the problems. they are calculator,shell32,sysdm and notepad. after i replaced them with the originals, the problem has been solved. after finishing my lovely CD i will search how to replace the files in the windows directory again. thank you very very much...

hello friends sorry to disturb you with the same problem but can you tell me at least where i can start to diagnose the problem. i need your suggestions pls help me. thanks in advance

@blinkdt thanks for your reply but in my uacd or computer D partition is data partition and there are some files. so i dont want to format it. just want to move my docs to D partition without formatting. can you correct your batch accordingly pls ? of course with "if statement" again because in my opinion this is a much more flexible situation. thanks in advance

hey yzöwl old friend you have helped to so many times. can't you make your batch file in if statement ? i mean, if D:/ partition exist move to D. if not, then leave as it is. thanks in advance

@ToCsIcK hey friend its a nice idea. thanks a lot. but i want to add something more if it works; you say if we have a second CD-Rom. but for instance i have only one CD-ROM. cant i delay start.cmd to work for a few time so that i can change the software CD ? or cant we add "try again" option ? what do you think about it ? and how ?

hey friend (enuffsaid) i really thank you this is much more easier way to do so !

hi friends for the sake of easy question-hard answer dilemma, i wonder that is there any way to disable system restore function just for C:/ drive not D:/ ? i like system restore function for systemdrive but on my D drive i have datum so i dont want this function at this drive but at system drive. thanks for advance )

hello friend yes you can replace the icons inside shell32.dll by means of "resource hacker". then you should convert your modified shell32.dll to shel32.dl_ and put in I386 folder. take care bye

@ sonic thanks a lot for you help. meanwhile i wanna be sure about that you mean that we cant uninstall completely but just hide from control panel/add-remove windows components section. am i true ? because i thought that we can uninstall it from control panel completely.

hello friends can anybody tell me how to uninstall WMP from command line. i want to uninstall it by means of a batch file unattendedly. or is there any better way to remove WMP from my UACD ? thanks in advance note: if there's a way to uninstall windows components from command line generally. i would like to know.

thank you for your suggestion but its not the solution. because i already try it in order to finish freeze. but later the same problem continues...
