sorry for the late response. i was out of station. im not running the cmd file in the first logon. i just add the cmd file to the runonceex registry again and restarting it through RunOnceEx.cmd. Appz_Shortcuts.zip

thank u nuhi for ie7 b3 integration. does it also work for win2003?

kindly make an emergency interim release of nlite which supports ie7b3. i would very much appreciate that.

plzzz make an interim release which support ie7b3. plzz plzz.

i too had this problem after slipstreaming ie7. ie7 link was there but the extension (.lnk) was missing. also my 'show desktop' icon also gone. so i had to manually insert them using xxmlink. this one was done after installation is over. i use runonceex.cmd to add a cmd file containing the following lines, to RunOnceEx and restart : copy /Y "%CDROM%\$OEM$\Modifications\Show Desktop.scf" "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch" xxmklink "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Windows Media Player 11" "%PROGRAMFILES%\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe" xxmklink "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Windows Explorer" "%systemroot%\explorer.exe" ren "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Launch Internet Explorer Browser" "Launch Internet Explorer Browser.lnk"

no. i wanted to do it during unattended installation. so i may be needing a registry tweak. by default, classic menu is not visible in ie7B2.

is there any tweak to make the Classic Menu visible in IE7 Beta2.

change winntbbu.dll and syssetup.dll files and can also add self-running video or audio files. You can goto http://unattended.msfn.org/ and see the directions. its given simple and easy. Go to page Advanced Users-->Cosmetics-->Change Billboards. For playing self-running video or audio files during installation, use the information from http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=67268

i too have the problem that the volume slider suddenly dissappeared after using wpi a couple of times. along with that, the audio was also not playing automatically when wpi is started. during the installation process, media player window is also not displayed and hence no audio playing. but during first few executions of wpi, all were working well. now i wanted the volume slider to be displayed and wanted the audio to be played automatically when wpi is started. then i wanted the audio to be played during the installtion process. someone pl give me solution. i also tried extracting fresh copy of wpi and run. but unfortunately the problems above are with it too. i can just say that the very first time i run wpi4.3.8, all were ok for few runs, say 3-4 runs. did anyone have the same problem. pl note : it WAS working well in the beginning. and i didnt touch any code.

you can download itunes+quicktime and extract them to a folder using winrar and u will find the quicktime installer there. grab it and use the switch '/S /v/qn' to do silent install. i just tried today and its working.

can u pl tell in detail, how u did that

install vista transformation pack3 and copy the shell32.dll from windows\system32 dir, makecab it and replace it in ur uA distribution's i386 dir. this worked for me. u can also copy explorer.exe in the same way. u will be having vista style icons and message boxes in explorer as well.

when i included the same switch for ie7b2 in runonceex, it never installed coz it needs wga checked. when i included the same switch for ie7b2 in runonceex, it never installed coz it needs wga checked. is there other ways to bypass the check and do unattended install?

previously manytimes, i was also getting a blank window without the image or anything visible inside it, when cd is ejected. i was thinking why it was happening and assumed it might be due to graphics card and ignored it. but i was using runonceex not vmware.

i have to install the cd again from the beginning after adding the log switch. i would post the log file on sunday.

this is the contents of the RunOnceEx.cmd : cmdow @ /HID @echo off FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\2003.CD SET CDROM=%%i: SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\WPI.ico SET CDROM=%%i: REG ADD %KEY%\0020 /VE /D "Switching to Applications CD..." /f REG ADD %KEY%\0020 /V 1 /D "cdswitch \"Appz_CD\" %CDROM% /d /r:\"%CDROM%\WPI.cmd\"" /f EXIT Thanks for the suggestion. im going to use the 0.8.4 version.

i got this error after the final restart of windows server2003. idont know what it is. it didnt eject the cd. pl help

try changing the bootscreen of your existing windows installation to the one you wanted to integrate to your uA source, using vista transformation pack or bootskin or bootxp and copy that ntoskrnl.exe from windows\system32 dir, to your unattended xp distribution using the normal method. this is how i got it work after almost a year of trying many many methods none of them worked at all.

There is someone waiting to make you happy. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=67268

yes, i still have the problem and now solving it by following the steps : after unattended installation, check for the problem in 845chipset. Yes. there is the problem. uninstall the bashrat drivers for graphics. install the motherboard drivers again. thats it. i also checked that this problem doesnt exists with other chipsets.

I slipstreamed wmp10 using WMP10_Slipstreamer_v3.exe. my xp ua installation prompts in the middle of the installation, when it installs the wmp10, that systemrestore is not turned on, whether to continue or abort to turn on the system restore. i clicked continue in order to proceed with the installation. i dont know where the problem comes from. pl tell me the solution. can i still use the BTS Slipstreamer? But they say some of the latest features are not slipstreamed. pl respond asap.

my slipstreamed xpsp2+driverpack has a problem that when i run 16bit apps or go to fullscreen dosmode, i cant get back to desktop. The screen goes black and thats it. and ive to switch off the machine and switch on to restart again. i tried to know whether the system got hanged, but it was not. i was blindly able to use the windows key and arrow keys to restart or shutdown the system. for past 5 months, i was struggling to find the source of the problem by testing with each step i carried out. i kept to test the driverpack integration in the last and today morning i found out that the problem is with display driver installed from the dp. mine is asus 845gl. last few months, ive installed on several machines all with 845 variants-gl, gv, gvsr etc. i am using dp since the last two updates. same problem persists till this present version. i tested with several installations again and when i removed the driver, the problem is gone and then i put the drivers from the motherboard cd, the problem doesnt come either. anyhow when installing from motherboard cd, it said that im installing the older version than the existing one. i chose to overwrite. so now i assumed that the problem with the driverpack driver. now i wanted to know these things. 1) does this happened to anyone. 2) is there any solution if so. 3) does this problem popped out only for the 845 chipsets or many more models. coz im thinking of ommitting of display drivers alone from the driverpack. but if i have any solution, i would be glad that i could solve the problem in order to integrate all the dps.

yes. i get the same problem in all the pc i installed - in almost 10 different pc. i used nlite to remove some components i specified before. i would try recreate the distribution without using nlite but it would take few days to get my hands on it. is there any other tool to remove additional languages, patch for unsigned themes and wfp.

These are the steps i carried out to prepare my unattended xp distribution. 1) manual integration of sp2 2) used nlite to remove accesibility, briefcase,languages, msnexplorer,tour, patch for themes and file protection. 3) integration of hotfixes using svcpack.inf 4) created winnt.sif using deploytools and added to the distribution. 5) Integrated wmp10 using btsunattended.net instructions. 6) Integrated driverpacks using files provided by btsunattended.net. Installation and everything works fine. Now the problem is, when working in xp, i go to command prompt by typing 'command'(not cmd. cmd works fine) in the run window. if i type 'exit' from the command prompt (in FULL SCREEN mode) it exits and gives a complete black screen. The xp desktop never appears. the system is not hanged at this moment coz i can blindly shutdown, reboot, or logoff windows using windows key and arrowkeys. Is there any solution for this problem. coz i used to work with dos based programs, this gives lot of trouble. i wanted this one rectified for 'command' prompt coz some apps use this 16bit shell.
