I usually use Winiso to create and open any type of image file. You should give that a go

How do you add in the new XP screen saver to install using the unatteneded method I added it in via the svcpack method but during unattended install around the T 13 mark it opened up a window asking for the screen saver to be installed. cheers Windows XP Screensaver

Just tested it and it works a treat......... You see the visual progress of the format Excellant - thanks again bullet for this orion2

Excellant, just going to try it out now. If I wanted to aprtition the drive in to 5 GIGs worth, in the [Disk1.config] part of the unattended do I put the size down as MB's (5000) or GIG's 5 Thanks again

Eh??

Does this mean that the unattended install will repartition and format the drive? without the needs of any other partition tool such as diskpart etc thanks

I can get the script to work purely on its own by double clicking it, but wondering how to I get it to run from unattended - where do I put it? At pressent I have placed my cmdlines.txt, RunOnceEx.cmd and cleanup.cmd all within the $oem$ folder (is this right) ?? If not where do they go ?? Cmdlines.txt [COMMANDS] "RunOnceEx.cmd" RunOnceEx.cmd cmdow @ /HID @echo off SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f REG ADD %KEY%\070 /VE /D "Applying Royale Theme" REG ADD %KEY%\070 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\royale.js" REG ADD %KEY%\085 /VE /D "Cleaning Up and Rebooting" /f REG ADD %KEY%\085 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\apps\cleanup.cmd" /f EXIT cleanup.cmd cmdow @ /HID shutdown.exe -r -f -t 60 -c "Windows XP will now restart in 1 minute..." net user aspnet /delete How do I activate and get the script that mazin has (royale.js) to run from unattnded ?? I feel I'm not that far away from getting it, but need some help. Thanks

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Been following this through and tested various setups but still can't get it to work. Mazin, how do you setup your script to work? Thanks orion2

thats exactly what i tried.. admin install gave invalid serial error <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Have just installed Paint Shop Pro X successfully unattended using the following Lines... "D:\Corel_Paint_Shop_Pro_X\pspx.msi" Serialnumber=XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXX /qn <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Cheers djsleepy, that method is far easier also works for corel photo album "H:\Corel_Photo_Album_6\CPA6.msi" Serialnumber=XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXX /qn <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Where about in the unatteneded.sif text file do you place the text? or do you place it in the svcpack.inf file Thanks

Nice one - thanks both

Thanks, I'll try it out. I guess the files that you slipstreamed go in the themes folder within I386\Resources\Themes\ ?? Thanks again

Nice one - thanks devilrunner. I take you manged to get this working ok. How did you add the entry in your *.sif file so that the theme gets installed. Thanks again

Looks nice XPero, but it's not what I want. I only need to have the Royale theme setup and install automatically. Thanks

Can I ask how you applied the "Royal" theme? I got the Royal theme and added it in to my unattened CD but it didn't work because my file extension isn't the same as the theme extension Royale.msstyles When windows is built I have to find the file above and double click it to apply theme. Would be great to find out how you done it. Thanks

Surely all these apps would have to be put on a DVD along with XP, hotfixes and drivers? there's not enough room on a normal CD - is there? Intriging

Well yes I have what you have put in apart from a few spaces, but should this matter? [Branding] BrandIEUsingUnattended=Yes [URL] Home_Page=http://www.tiscali.com/ Thanks

Thanks, has anyone tried this out or found a better way of partitioning and formatting the drive via the wnnt.sif Thanks

I've recently just embarked upon making my own unattended CD, however I'm having teouble getting the install to set my hompage for me, no matter what I do it always puts it the default msn page in. Is there any of you out there that have managed to do this small thing when doing an unattended install. Thanks

Hi there, looks complicated to me, but I'm just new to all this. What does it do? Thanks
