Yeah, search the forums for your answers! Most of the apps have been covered quite a few times already.

Please search the forums. There are several posts on installing Windows Media Player. In fact there is one on the main page itself.

You cant use that registry setting in the unattended since since the HKEY_USERS key is going to be different in every machine. He will have to use either the HKCU or the HKLM in his unattended installation.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideMyComputerIcons] "{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideMyComputerIcons] "{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000

Are you sure that your cpu can do 200 FSB

Please use the search feature as these registry entries exist and have been posted numerous times before and can also be found in the Regsitry Tweaks thread.

What you are looking for is a program called UltraMon. It gives you the ability to create a virtual taskbar on the 2nd screen. Another added plus is that the applications/windows open in one taskbar are independent of the windows on the other taskbar. This is a must program if you have dual monitor setup. Also you can set different wallpapers for each desktop so that they look like 2 different computers but controlled by the same user.

I actually used wininstall LE and added the regsistry keys to the msi file itself. Now i only gotta install the msi file and the program is registered automatically.

If you had even bothered reading the entire thread you would have known how to use taskkill and how to call it. Its really frustrating when members cant do a proper search for previous posts/threads. And please dont even say that you did a search and nothing came up because I just did a 15 second search and am looking at the thread I had posted in a few days back.

****! Why cant some people use the search function. A 10 second search yielded this result.

HKLM,"%RunOnceEx%\install015",,,"Download Accelerator 7.1" HKLM,"%RunOnceEx%\install015",1,,"%01%\install\Dap\dap71.exe /s" HKLM,"%RunOnceEx%\install015",2,,"%11%\taskkill.exe /F /IM dap71.exe"

Use this to kill DAP after the installation in your unattended taskkill.exe /F /IM dap71.exe

Why do you need to go thru all the trouble of opening the case, unplugging the drive, plugging it back in then closing the case when one has to do is to Disable it in the BIOS????

I have the same problem with the same mobo. I guess we'd need to take up the issue with Abit really. In reality, since I don't reinstall all that often (hopefully) I just open the case and disconnect the PATA drive. I have also noticed that if I have a bootable OS on both the SATA and PATA drives, the PATA one boots no matter what I set in the BIOS. Of course, I haven't checked it lately and there have been a couple of BIOS updates, so maybe they fixed that one. Matt The mobo manufacturer cannot do anything about it nor can any bios release fix it. This is basically the way the mobo was designed. Unless the SATA is native (Intel mobos and the newer A64 mobos) your boot record is going to be written to your first hard disk, which is the PATA drive on your Primary or Seconday IDE controller.

Thats because the SATA controller is builit into the south bridge and its native unlike the nforce2 mobo where the SATA channels are PCI based.

You will need to disable the Primary or Secondary IDE controller, whichever connects the PATA drive in BIOS. Only then will you will be able to write the boot record to the SATA drive. After installing windows you can go back into BIOS and enable the IDE controller(s).

Please Ignore! Found my answer. Edited post above.

Ok! Ignore previous post! I was trying to install Intellitype Pro with the MM switch. I had to use the "kb" switch instead to get it going. However I still went ahead and modified the msi since i wished to get rid of some shortcuts. Anyway everything seems to be working well. This is my command in my install.inf [Keyboard] HKLM,"%RunOnceEx%\install017",1,,"%11%\msiexec.exe /i %01%\install\Intellipoint\Keyboard\ITP50.msi kb=1009 /QR" [Mouse] HKLM,"%RunOnceEx%\install017",2,,"%11%\msiexec.exe /i %01%\install\Intellipoint\Mouse\IP50.msi mm=16 /QR REBOOT=ReallySuppress"

I tried using the unmodified MSI and I get an error message saying to continue setup using the actual setup.exe.

There are additional registry keys that needs to be configured and imported when modifying the msi file with WinInstall LE. You need to specify the language settings (English by default), the type of hardware (a number that identifies what type of mouse or keyboard you are using). The best way to go about configuring it is to first install the Intellitype software and then export all the registry settings for Intellitype under HKCU and HKLM. Once that is done, all you have to do is to remove the install condition and also create the necessary registry keys that are created when you install the Intelli software. Also make sure that the language and hardware settings are specified correctly. I have used this method with great success and have no problems installing the intelli software in my unattended setup.

I am able to do and unattended install on both of them without a problem. However the problem I am having is uninstalling it. If I include the *.msi's in the unattended and install them, no matter what I do, I am not able to uninstall the software using the modified *.msi's. I gotta look into this more and see why this is happening. Will keep this topic updated.

Most of the appliacation switches has been posted in this forum. Do a search for them. Please dont expect to be spoonfed!

In that case, take your time to go through some of the excellent work posted here by some of our members and do your unattended at a later time.

I have finally managed to get Intellitype Pro 5 and Intellimouse 5 to be part of my unattended setup. I can now do a silent installation of both these apps with customized keys and mouse button settings, which are included in the installation package. The installation uses an msi file for installation and the standard msi parameters. However there are a few things that are to be ironed out and as soon as I get those done, I will either post the msi file here or step-by-step instructions on how to do a silent installation of the above.
