[Multiboot Discs]

I have just had a look at the new version, I am not sure if it allows me to create a single disc which contains an XP Home and XP Profesional installs each using different winnt.sif files. Am I right in saying that the current version allows me to use different winnt.sif files for only XP Home.

Thanks for the info. I will wait for the next release which looks like it will do what I want. I am off on holiday so I look forward to trying it when I get back.

Thanks

I just used this program at the weekend, it is an amazing utility. The ability to add the $OEM directory and the winnt.sif is great.

I have 2 installs, XP home and XP Pro, if when I build the distribution, if I use the same directory am I correct in saying when I create the ISO I will get a boot disc that will offer XP Home & XP Pro and would probably fit on a single CD? (They currently do)

Before using powerpacker if I added/updated a program I had to do it in 2 places now it is only in 1.

Thanks

[AMD Cool'n' Quiet Drivers CPU Driver.]

I have just downloaded the zip file which is on the same page and that has an inf file with the corresponding sys file so I will add these to my unattended install instead of trying to find the files in the install sheild file I had previously downloaded

Just open up the inf file, search for the section [sourceDisksFiles] and make sure you've got all files listed there in the same folder as the inf file. You know how that system works: add the correct folder to the OemPnPDriversPath in your winnt.sif and voila it's working!

I can not find an inf file. Here is a link to the file I downloaded would you be able to have a look at it and advise me further.

Has any body managed to integrate the latest AMD 64 CPU drivers into there unattended XP install (32 bit).

I have downloaded the drivers from AMD, then using WinRAR extracted out the install files, I used i6comp.exe to extract the install files from data1.cab but I am unsure of which versions of the files I need for an english install as some of the files are contained multiple times.

It would be nice to have these files installed , I would appreciate some help if anyone has been successful with this.

Thanks

[Adobe Reader]

I only have the following files and it works ok

It looks like I can also remove setup.exe aswell

[XP Enhanced Setup Beta Test]

One possible method

Set a global boolean exitNow = true;

Then Start a thread which will wait for the predefined time.

If exitNow is still true when the predefined time has expired exit the application.

If a user pressed any buton on the screen, set exitNow to false, this will stop the application from exiting.

Hope this helps, I am afraid I am any coding I do now is java so my sample code would be no use.

This tool look like it could be very useful for allowing you to choose which programs to install. A couple of useful additions would be:-

1) a default set of applications, these would then automatically be set from an ini file.

2) a time out option, which would then install the default set of programs if for instance there was no user interaction after 5 minutes.

[setup to skip the registration part of setup?]

Thanks, I wondered if that was the setting as I had it set to no. Is there a list of what all the switches in the winnt.sif mean.

[setup to skip the registration part of setup?]

thanks for the info, I added the above settings to my winnt.sif and now it installs with out asking any questions.

[setup to skip the registration part of setup?]

I have a few differences, Especially in the Unattended section.

These are the differences missing the following

AutoActivate="no"

DisableDynamicUpdates=Yes

NoWaitAfterTextMode=1

NoWaitAfterGUIMode=1

and I will change the following from No to Yes

UnattendSwitch="Yes"

I will try this tonight and see what happens

Thanks

[setup to skip the registration part of setup?]

I had both of these options set,

[identification]

JoinWorkgroup=MSHOME

[Networking]

InstallDefaultComponents=Yes

but it still asked the question.

[setup to skip the registration part of setup?]

I have also suffered this problem, thanks for the above answer.

But it also asked to set up my internet connection, I do I stop this screen.

Thanks
