Doesn't 819639 become obsolete with 828026? 828026 replaces wmp.dll with a newer version than the version replaced with 819639.

Symantec Antivirus 8.1 for AV software

Neo.win has a link to the latest beta on their site already. A cursury look at the files in it shows me that some are actually regressions from versions in new hotfixes (for example, ntoskrnl.exe is version 1143. The bootvis.exe hotfix is already up to 1226)

I'm having problems getting a few registry tweaks to stick. The settings for TLS1.0 and a few other security settings, the entries which control maximum amount of IE cache, and small icons on the IE toolbar all reset themselves. Kinda annoying after taking the time to isolate those entries I apply them during the cmdlines.txt part of setup, so they should be applied for all users...

yeah yeah

Well, it runs now Q817787 had errors, though (it looked like it was trying call something from Documents and Settings rather unsuccessfully). Oh well, I'll just put it in the guiupdate.bat file. Thanks again for the help And un4given1, I'm going to go through the files to verify that they are indeed the newest versions (I assume they will be).

Well, it was something silly alright

OMFG. Well, I guess I'm wearing the forum dunce cap for awhile... ARGH!!! HOW COULD I BE SO FARKING STUPID?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?! I=lose. How much you guys wanna bet it goes a bit better now? Sorry for wasting you guys' time like that...

Oh, and the only real reason I need to use commands.txt is because I have a bunch of registry entries that I want to be default for all users, and that's the only time to do it.

erm...same problem as before No pauses or anything!

It's at the 18 minute mark. So close And I am looking forward to a finalized slipstream script. I think that'll definitely be the way to go.

Sorry, I forgot to say that I took out the logging part. As for the verdict, it's gonna take awhile. My laptop w/ 256mb isn't the fastest VirtualPC machine on the planet

Un4given1 - isn't that what WFP is for? And yes, my directory structures are correct. Thanks for the input, though . I've always liked the loop method for installing hotfixes, except that I like to see what hotfix is being installed at any given point. Call me old fashioned I guess

Here's what I'm trying now: pause @echo off pause TITLE Installing WindowsXP SP1 Hotfixes pause ECHO. ECHO Installing q282010: Jet 4.0 Service Pack 7...I'll let you know how it goes.

Well, when I ran it from the desktop, it acted similar to how it does during windows setup. A cmd window pops up, then a second where the batch file actually runs (the first one closes after the second one appears). So it would appear the file is being called, but then being exited out of for whatever reason immediately after it's called. Is it possible that CLS, TITLE, or @ECHO OFF would be invalid syntax during that point of setup? I'm going to try REMing them out to see what happens.

[COMMANDS] ".\update.cmd"

The plot thickens. If I copy the cmd file to my desktop and run it from there, it works FINE. I wonder if one of the commands prior to the launch of the program isn't allowed... Any idea? I think we're on the right track here...

huh?

That's just the thing - there is no copy command. I tried the >> logfile.txt thing. There's no file on the hard drive after the installation! It's not even being created.

Figure this one out. I've got a pause at the end of my update.cmd. However, when cmdlines.txt runs during setup (I can see the command prompt window come up), a second window appears then both just disappear and setup continues. update.cmd is in the same directory as cmdlines.txt. I'm calling ".\update.cmd" in the file. Any idea?

Thanks for the tweak, but you should add the [ and ] or it won't work Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters] "AutoShareWks"=dword:00000000 haha...my bad. Funny enough, it's got them in my reg file

Your best bet is probably to use a registry tracking program to find out what changes are made when switching the default browser from IE to Firebird. Export those keys and you should be good

cmdlines.txt you mean? Put it in the $OEM$ directory.

Are you sure USB keyboard support is enabled in the BIOS?
