Thank you very much. Worked perfectly as you said!

i'm trying to have my unattended install install drivers automatically whilst installing. I've downloaded the x64 Win7 driverpack from driverpacks.net Unzipped and put in a folder called Drivers. I've put this folder in.. sources\$OEM$\$1\Drivers and in my autounattend.xml the code is... <settings pass="windowsPE"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-PnpCustomizationsWinPE" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <DriverPaths> <PathAndCredentials wcm:keyValue="d37a5f8b" wcm:action="add"> <Path>C:\Drivers</Path> </PathAndCredentials> </DriverPaths> </component> </settings> and <settings pass="auditSystem"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-PnpCustomizationsNonWinPE" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <DriverPaths> <PathAndCredentials wcm:keyValue="d37a5f8b" wcm:action="add"> <Path>C:\Drivers</Path> </PathAndCredentials> </DriverPaths> </component> </settings> The folders copy, but the network drivers do not get installed automatically. Is there something wrong to my approach? Does the $oem$ folder get copied after installation?

Brilliant! £18 and replacement media on the way. Thank you very much

I'm upgrading the SAS drives on our Dell PowerEdge 2900. The server has a sticker on it with the product key. Unfrotuantely I do not have the OEM media to reinstall the OS using the key supplied with the server. I've tried changing the PID in the setupp.ini file on a volume disc but the key is still not being accepted. Is there a way around this? No.. I'm not talking any illegal methods to use the key!

Ruu, can you provide some more instructions...

Hi w3bbo! Nice release, sorry I didn't get some of the newer darkside resources to you in time! Take a break, I know how hard you've been working. Antonio

Thanks! That seems to have resolved 905474. Just gotta sort KB892130 now

Any one resolved this yet?

Does the installer detect file changes and automatically run like the old reloader did?

Looks very slick webbo. Nicely done. I look forward to the next release.

couple of things.. the taskbar and start menu control panel icon doesnt change when choosing darkside. the shutdown dialogue is blue rather than black.

I've downloaded the latest LegitCheckControl.cab and WindowsXP-KB905474-ENU-x86.exe from this list... http://www.vorck.com/windows/hotfixes_xp.html However, Windows update is still asking for KB892130 and KB905474. Does anyone have the latest links? BTW, i'm using hfslip-1.7.9_beta_m Cheers all!

It's a time saver, how long does it take you to install windows and then run windows updates to get it completely up-to-date? With HFSLIP you run it once, and when windows is installed it will be as up-to-date with however many updates you "slipstreamed" into it.

XPize has it's own different bootscreen. You do not get the option to change this.

Progress is slow, I really struggle for time now. I will not be basing any future releases on any of the new XPize releases. I will maintain using the NSIS installer. If I was to move from this, it would be made from scratch by myself. I'll try and make some time to look into the issues, but other than correcting problems and changing the visual style again nothing else will be changed.
