But if I use setupcomplete.cmd, will that not affect the users ?

I run the regtweaks during unattend installation, but I seem to get only 1 of the regtweaks to be activated over all users.. (disable UAC ) I have via autounattend.xml created 4 users and I think I am "administrator" during setup. But after restart and login by administrator the regtweaks are not set "? The settings in HKEY_CURRENT_USER, are there different settings in registry as of which user are logged in ? Is the UAC active during the unattended installation ? is it UAC who does not permit my regtweaks ? What am I doing wrong ?

One tiny question more .... I install my winzip unattended during my vista install, but the registry setting does not seem to be set in all users !? I am not sure which user is active during installation of vista ? is it not the administrator ? Is there a way to have the registry settings to be over all users ?

Are those 3 files needed for integration when doing a brand new unattended dvd with SP1 ?

radix, you are the man

Works lika a charm But how do I disable tip from opening up first time ?

Thanks ! Will try this out !

I dont mean to get a key, I have that already, I need help with the reg file... I managed to do the silent install of winzip 11.2.8094 (same procedure as before), but has anyone managed to do a .reg file to put in your license key via silent install ? It worked fine with 11.1.7466 but not with the newest version

Tried this yesterday without success copied my files from my working ISO to the usb stick Got it to boot once, but after the first pictures vista tells me some driver is missing Tried different settings in bios and after a while I cant get it to boot from the usb at all, invalid partition, insert bootable media and so on.. Made all steps again several times...no success Is there a problem that I have a 8gb stick ? Any suggestions ?? I really want this to work...

So you dont see any problems with my xml and dir structure ?

Razormoon: I think I dont come by the first PE pass when I add the drivers the install.exe doesnt seem to be started !? When I boot the ISO, in the first PE pass I get a cmd window which say driversroot = d: Shortly after I get a error window: It is not possible to install one or more drivers which is necessary for systemstart, check that the drivers are correct and restart installation, Press OK... Pressed Shift-F10 and looked in the log files, but I did not see any particularly Dobby, I will post this tonight when I am home from work.. Ps. I have made a copy of the ISO BEFORE I altered the settings as of the Firegeier guide to install drivers from media or usb stick and that ISO is working so there is something wrong with this step.. Ds.

Maybe I missunderstand what this pass is for !? I thought I would add up all known drivers for my system so I dont need to install them after vista is installed.. I thought that this pass would make all drivers present for vista... Intel INF is intel chipset drivers..

Anyone ??? Dobby ? Have we lost Martin ? have not seen posts from him for a long while

The vista installation iso is/was working before this... I have just altered the needed steps for "install drivers from media or dvd" and then this problem occoured I have tried to burn DVD and ISO on VM same result I tried to rename folders without 000_xxx and removed all but the .inf files, same error I have added AHCI, Intel inf, Yukon LAN, intel LAN drivers... setupact.log shows all files, tells that some is not .inf and pass on..in the end there is 0x0640ae IBSLIB publishmessage:It is not possible to install one or more drivers which is necessary for systemstart, check that the drivers are correct and restart installation no UnattendGC folder !? EDIT: Another question, in the guide : imagex /mountrw D:\VistaWork\DVD\sources\boot.wim 2 D:\VistaWork\Mount to mount boot.wim, but should it not be a "1" for the PE and not a "2" as in the guide ???
