[3rd party drivers]

this works perfectly if you don't want to inject

Thank you very much. Worked perfectly as you said!

[3rd party drivers]

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?

[Media for Server 2003 R2]

Brilliant! £18 and replacement media on the way.

Thank you very much

[Media for Server 2003 R2]

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...

[xpize 5 Release 6]

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

[KB892130 and KB905474]

Thanks! That seems to have resolved 905474.

Just gotta sort KB892130 now

[KB892130 and KB905474]

Any one resolved this yet?

[Basic question about changing resource schemes, XPize Settings and Rel]

The XPize Guide is only applicable to XPize 4.x; xpize 5 Release 4 doesn't include the Settings program nor the reloader. I'll bring back the Settings program for Release 5, but there's no need for the reloader as the installer can do that.

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

[New in release 5, the simple selector]

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

[xpize 5 Release 4]

couple of things..

the taskbar and start menu control panel icon doesnt change when choosing darkside.

the shutdown dialogue is blue rather than black.

[KB892130 and KB905474]

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!

[purpose of HFSLIP]

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.

[how xpize change the boot screen?]

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

[[Release] XPize Darkside 2.1]

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.

[Resignation]

Wish you all the best in your new adventures buddy!

[Team of Developers for XPize & Vize continuation]

Hi guys,

Thanks for the invitation however after some careful thinking I have chosen to decline your offer.

I wish you all good luck in continuing the XPize project.

TTFN,

Antonio

[Extracting the black logonui.exe from Darkside & more]

Why don't you just install XPize Darkside.

And then XPize over the top but only select the luna theme?

[KB950759]

Wel that was what caused my problem. Not sure about yours, as its with 2000. Hopefully Tomcat76 will be able to assist you. Good luck!

[Install applications... SP1]

@ricketendo64

Are you using just autounattend.xml on SP1?

Does it install applications ok?

Can you post your config?

Thanks

[Install applications... SP1]

Finally got myself some time to come back to this topic....

@teemue

try adding

%WINDIR%\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /generalize /quiet /oobe /reboot /unattend:%AppsRoot%\Install\Unattend.xml

instead of

%WINDIR%\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /quiet /oobe /reboot /unattend:%AppsRoot%\Install\Unattend.xml

to autounattend.xml

[KB950759]

DELCATS=1 in HFANSWER.INI in the HFTOOLS folder?

[KB950759]

I can confirm, DELCATS=1 causes the problem.

[KB950759]

I have a feeling either a silent exe that i have in HFSVCPACK is causing this error.

Or... DELCATS=1 in HFANSWER.INI is causing it.

I'm currently testing.

[KB950759]

Any ideas?
