Hey, This works perfectly, the problem was in my winnt.sif which had an additional / after 'program files' meaning the installation directory wasn't valid and as a result setup halted. laze.

Hey, I've followed your instructions but when I run my *.msp file the installation starts "Please wait while setup prepares the necessary files" and then exits. I am running it from my hard-disk as I want to create a silent installation for my unattended install. Any ideas? laze.

Hey, That's good news! I don't actually logon as the Administrator during my installation, so I wouldn't want any auto-logon code but if the rest of it solves my problem, that's great. Keep testing and report back or you're fired! ;-) laze.

Hey, KB928090 cumulative update available for IE7... I can't tell you whether it includes the 3 above hotfixes or not but there's no harm integrating it over the top. laze.

Hey, This appears to be a popular alternative to RunOnceEx but what's the incentive behind the move? Do you have any screenshots of 'WPI' in action, how does it differ from RunOnceEx? laze.

Hey, Unlike this example: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=91530 I am not logging on to a domain but it appears my only option is to rename the administrator account unless anyone can suggest an alternative or offer up any clues as to why this is happening in the first place? laze.

*bump*

Hey, What updates do your WMP11 add-ons contain as standard? Specifically the tweaked add-on (what I use)? I gather both KB929399 and KB928788 are not included and will need integrating on top of your WMP11 add-ons? laze.

Hey, It's a clean install on an NTFS formatted partition. laze.

Yes.

Hello, My machine is not part of a domain but when I log in as the administrator, the local account is not used. Instead a second account is created. Any ideas? laze.

Hey, I integrated everything, leaving Internet Explorer 7 and the hotfixes remaining. I integrated IE7 and the hotfixes in two seperate processes, not at the same time. laze.

Right, I've slipstreamed your tweaked add-on when you first posted this thread... can I use your slipstreamer to add KB929399 independently, in a separate process? laze.

Hey, Is this a recently released patch? Are you suggesting that you've updated both your vanilla and tweaked add-on to include KB929399? Thanks. laze.

Hey, Let me clarify, the account I create from within cmdlines.txt is not effected. Any account created once the installation of Windows is complete will be missing the "Show Desktop" icon. The above method of restoring the "Show Desktop" icon has been proven to work. laze.

Hey, The hotfixes required are: KB917425 KB928089 KB929969 The desktop icon is no longer created for new user accounts, but the account my installation auto-logs in to still has the desktop icon. laze :-)

Hey, Since my original post (where hopefully I managed to hide most of my frustration) I've integrated IE7 and the 3 available hotfixes. I integrated Ryan's v2.16 pack first, IE7 in a separate process and finally the hotfixes in yet again, another separate process. My RunOnceEx works without problems? I guess I got lucky - that or nLite's developer has implemented a fix? I've tested my installation on my virtual machine twice without any problems. laze :-)

Hey, Integrating Internet Explorer 7 should be the last thing you do. Before reading any further, download the following: Internet Explorer 7 KB929969 KB928090 nLite Install and open nLite, click next Point it to your source and click next x 3 Select Hotfixes and Update Packs and click next Click insert and locate Internet Explorer 7 (IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe) Click next to begin the integration process Once it completes, nLite will exit Open nLite again and follow steps 1, 2 and 3 Click insert and add both KB929969 and KB928090 (the order is unimportant) Click next to begin integration That's it, you're all done. If you're a RunOnceEx user, the above will break RunOnceEx. In order to fix it, download the attached zipped file and replace the existing IERNONCE.DL_ in your I386 directory after completing the above steps. This will result in update KB928090 and KB929969 showing in Windows Update, to resolve this I copy iernonce.dll from KB928090 to '$OEM$\$$\System32\ie7\' and run the following batch file after installation completes and the machine reboots (there are various ways to automate the execution of this code): @echo off REM Replacing old iernonce.dll with latest version REM --------------------------------------------------------- regsvr32 /s /u iernonce.dll DEL "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\iernonce.dll" XCOPY "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\ie7\iernonce.dll" "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\" regsvr32 /s /i iernonce.dll RD /S /Q %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\ie7\ EXIT The above code replaces the older iernonce.dll that fixes RunOnceEx with the newer version found in KB928090. Another side effect of integrating Internet Explorer 7 is the loss of the 'Show Desktop' icon on all user accounts not created during setup. To restore this icon, execute the following: regsvr32 /s /n /i:U shell32 In some cases you will need to log off and back in again before the 'Show Desktop' icon reappears. laze. iernonce.zip

Ok, I need to confess something, I told a porky. I didn't test it 3 times, I actually ran the installation on my virtual machine once with Internet Explorer successfully installing. After an honest 3 more attempts since, it has failed everytime. After commenting (REM) out your latest WLM release and accompanying add-ons (Ink / Safety Scanner) Internet Explorer 7 Installs fine. The solution may be as you suggested, to move WLM so it installs after Internet Explorer 7 but a limitation of your Safety Scanner add-on would mean I'd have to remove it (you specify to install it before Internet Explorer 7 on your homepage). Can you replicate this issue? I'm using Sho_guns RunOnceEx add-on. laze.

Hey booogy, Fantastic add-on, I think you've created something that cannot be bettered. The slipstreamer is a nice addition too, but with RyanVM's Integrator and nLite perhaps not quite as unique as your add-on. laze.

Hey, Why not integrate the drivers directly (including txtsetup)? http://www.driverpacks.net laze.

Hey, You don't need to apologise, it isn't your fault your French ;-). I'm not entirely happy with my visual_effects.reg, is there a way to set the effects I'd like from within Windows and export the settings to a registry file? laze.

Ah, But effects.exe is flawed, it isn't as specific as using registry tweaks such as yours Sonic as it links certain settings together. laze.

Hey, I apply my visual_effects.reg using cmdlines.txt. I'm not sure if this means they're applied on first boot as I consider rebooting after installation completes a necessity therefore I do not start using my install until the second boot, at which point the tweaks are applied. laze.
