Sounds like an unregistered DLL. Search for Dial-a-fix for the fast way, or hunt through microsoft knowledge bases.

what does your sql update query look like? If your date field in the database is is a date type you need to formatit as a date type when it is inserted to the database.

should just be msiexec /i /q /n "appinstaller.msi"

do: msiexec /i "c:\install\photoshop cs\Adobe photoshop cs2.msi"

When you run your unattended cd what you have is right. if you wnat to test it without doing your complete install then copy the install folder to c: and run as you have it.

Well just looking at the picture you are in c:\xpcd\$oem$\$1\install and you are attempting to run from c:\install so unless you have purposely copied the install folder out you have the wrong path.

Not a problem. Good luck.

if you are testing in VMWare it doesn't matter what your physical hard drive is. VMware will create a virtual disk as a file on your drive and emulates it as a hard drive. Make sure that one is listed in the vm you created. Should be listed as "Hard Disk (IDE 0:0)" or "Hard Disk (SCSI 0:0)" under devices. Depending upon the version of Vmware you are using and the way you created the VM it may or may not creatwe a virtual hard drive.

echo off for %%U in (kb*.exe) do ( echo Applying hotfix %%U start /wait %%U /Q:A /R:N ) pause Will install all of the updates named kb*.exe located in the current folder. Works with windows updates too, just change the switches.

other than cables all you need are four matching hard drives from the specs I read. Personally I would get two more and set them up on the other sata controller on the board as a mirrored raid and boot from it and keep all the docs programs data etc on the 4 disk raid.

It just makes it easier to install new drives for the non technically minded person. Don't have to worry about setting the other drie to master/slave etc. Just plug into available cable connection and go. Not useless but not always useful since the cable has to be a CS cable and both drives on it have to be set that way. Wish it had been around when you had more options with the jumpers: Only drive Master with slave Slave Master with incompatible slave It seems to me there were a few others but that was too long ago.

from Symantec's support site:

If it works on your initial boot but dies subsquently during use/testing I don't think it has anything to do with your imaging/sysprep procedures or steps. Is it always ntfs.sys? or do other files come up when you are getting the blue screens? Have you tried it on another SATA hard drive or system? It may be failing hardware.

I have only ever run into MBR issues on IBM/Lenovo systems that have the factory recovery partition installed. Otherwise after easily 5000+ machines ghosted I've never had an issue. As far as data on the machine, yes you need to back it up before restoring a ghost image to it. My preferred method is to created a dual partition system and put the users data on D:, then I can blow the C: partition away as often as I like by doing an image to partition ghost instead of disk to disk.

Actually, as long as you are not trying to cross over the HAL compatibility lines the answer is yes using sysprep. No need to pay Binary Research for their software/servics. Search for "universal image" should bring up a number of forum posts.

Can you boot from any other cd?

Whoa! hey now! two is enough! Glad I could Help.

as i recall you had to set up a locally shared folder called netlogon and put the scripts in it. I remember doing it once a long time ago

How about this: On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect Options, and then click the AutoFormat As You Type tab. Select or clear the options you want.

If your house is wired in a star configuration, smart home wirers do it this way, then disconnect just the home office from the rest and run a wire from the vonage box to the disconnected wires. Another option is to use the existing wire. Your phone only uses two wires, normally the center two, you colud use the outer two, then split it in you mom's office and have both there until the number is transferred. The length of time depends upon your current phone company. When I had mine transferred to SunRocket it took 29 days for the transfer and another 2 for AT&T to disconnect it.

Can't do it with the answer file, at least not unattended. You need to boot to dos, winpe or bartpe to accomplish this. Or if fully unattended is not a requirement you can have it stop on the drive installation screen and select partition sizes manually.

If you are going from a single core to a dual core you need to do nothing. Windows xp will automatically upgrade to a dual core, but will not go the other way. that's the reason I said to use sysprep, it will reset the hardware state, and can install the new hdd controller drivers. there are three problems with moving hardware to a new system the HAL, the HDD controller and the drivers. the drivers are easy, the HDD controller is a little more difficult and the HAL is limited to impossible. Sysprep makes all of it easier.
