I do plenty of HKCU stuff at T-13 with no problem. I doubt that MSN would be the cause (but it could be), but I do not know Pathfinder. Like I said, it could be anything, and you seem damned close to pinpointing it. Could also be a typo, invalid value, etc ... And please, allow me a gratuity! The view from France right now is the XP Setup screens may not be less boring to UK fans than football! But it did give me the immense joy of watching my son jump up in extasy!

In theory, it's fine. The SUBST command disappear next boot. however, it wont work for you, as you will need to do something similar to: D = G E = I F = D and you have a connflict. Windows defines those letters in a fixed, standard manner. I play with partition placement, and hiding until setup is completed. I do rename the CDs, and use the SUBST commnd to hold over till the reboot, but the letters I use are always available in my boxes (K, L, ... )

Welcome to MSFN, billythehamster! I'd need to know the version, autodownload or not, a little better decription of the error, and, of course, the tell all LOGFILES.CAB. Other than that ...

Thanks for contributing, ToBe. 3 down, n to go ...

Don't think I could do a pause: I think I finally pulled the last one out recently. It takes away from the unattended aspect. Right now, user input is only for a fatal error, or program completion. As for adding more than "needed" to the download list, I guess anyone who writes the XPHLISTs (or whatever I called them ...) could simply implement such a function without even touching the code! (Coincidence?). I have little to no interest in keeping the lists... Still, thanks for your ideas, and keep them coming. The above suggestions are not really in the scope of the command line utility that XPCREATE is.

What I got: 2K = OK, XP and 2K3 = NO GO. I delve into it further in a week or so (if it doesn't go away ... )

Another happy customer! Thanks for sharing that!

Naw, well keep it right here! I guess it's figured out by now. I suspect that it needs the full shell to install, e.g. after reboot...

In theory, nothing wrong with the double emulator. Nope, the only way this would work is when 9X starts supporting XPCREATE! The code would require a total rewrite to overcome the lack of delayed variable expansion.

With 20 backup DVDs, a 120 GB disk, the old laptop, 3 weeks worth of clothes, and a set of golf clubs, I'm moving shop in about 4 hours ... nine time zones away. It'll probably be a few days before I have time for any debugging, but I will check in.

Does't anybody read my posts anymore ... Here they are, all in this threaad ... http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...ndpost&p=140000 http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...ndpost&p=140017 http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...ndpost&p=140024 http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...ndpost&p=140040 http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...ndpost&p=140062 http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...ndpost&p=140080 http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...ndpost&p=140264 (I feel like Roger Dangerfield ... )

I would suspect that Office isn't installing either. I also don't think you can install from CMDLINES or SVCPACK: you should use RunOnce, RunOnceEx, or GuiRunOnce. The logs ... the answer is in the log file: find it!

OK, I'll look into it next week. Post any other info you have that may help, or links.

I find it slightly less boring than XP install screens ...

I knew you could do it! i just hate people looking for workarounds, without correcting the real problem! A+

XPCTEST is now XPCREATE. Links (hopefully) fixed.

Sure, it takes time, but minimal user intervention is required. Something to do while watching Portugal ... It is the only way to know for sure.

It was a non-fatal typo. Fixed: current version is 11 JUNE 2004 (I think ... ) SWFLASH will NOT work in XPCREATE/WIN2K. Before changing the code, re-read the EULA you accepted on install ...

Keep 'em coming. fellahs. I see from the logs there have been attempts on Swedish and Japanese boxes as well. Work with us here ...

You may need to install after reboot, from GuiRinOnce or equivalent. There should be a log file somewhere that gives you a hint as to why install failed. Thanks for the update!

Never thought about it ... I'll take a look next week.

In my testing, only WIN2K accepts that hotfix in SVC-HF1. For all the rest it appears to need to be installed after reboot, e.g. RUnONce, GuiRunOnce, RunOnceEx.

Won't work, don't even think about it ...

REG is most often used instead of REGEDIT, as you cannot use variables, e.g. %SYSTEMROOT%, in a reg file. If you want an example, use someone's REG command script, add the keys, and then use REGEDIT to export them.

You are trying to debug too much: that's a lot of tweaks to define as guilty. Split the file in two, do two test installations. Take the bad install, split the file in two, do two installations. Take the bad install, split the file in two, do two installations. Take the bad install, split the file in two, do two installations. ... I suspect it is only one of those tweaks causing problems. The B-Tree and trial and error will find the tweak in question, simply and surely.
