    I cant install ie7 and ie8

    in nLite

    Posted

    This addon for english, but i need russian.

    Provide info like that in original post so people can help you better.

    Secondly, you might want to check that english version I linked you too, its only a .7z zip file, so you can extract it with 7zip. My point is you might be able to replace the files / replace certain files with russian versions.

    I don't think there is going to be a simple answer for you.

    By going to the website for nlite, it is quite obvious it is compatible with SP3, assuming you are using the latest version of course!

    I cant install ie7 and ie8

    Yeah if you compare the installer .exe for ie 7 and 8 you will notice they dont function the same way as all the other updates do. So that might be a give away why it isnt working.

    My solution for this problem was to use the following, http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4289

    It's basically a zip file with all the files required for ie7 + insutrctions on where they are to go, nlite detects all this and will integrate it.

    this is for ie7 only though not ie8. Considering ie8 is only in beta.... might be worth holding off as a new version of beta is going to be out soon i think.

    windows xp remote desktop wont enable

    in nLite

    Posted

    hey all,

    Just automated / customised a Windows XP install. In the tweaks section there is an option for Remote desktop. It however doesn't seem to do anything.

    Is it a problem with my install / configuration or is this a common problem?

    I'm also wondering if other options are conflicting with it causing it to not work. Any ideas would be great.

    p.s love nlite keep up the top work! :thumbup

    A question about silent installs:

    in Application Installs

    Posted

    Silent installs and fully tested setups literally save thousands of dollars and man-hours.

    I have a dvd that is 3.5 gigs and once the partition is selected it fully installs windows and all of the apps that have been added. (Including office 2007 and paint\photoshop) All of this is done in less than an hour with no babysitting or button pushing needed.

    The key is proper testing. That is what VMWare or virtualPC is made for. Designing a proper CD\DVD can take time but once you have it down pat you can update and modify it very easily thus saving lots of time and money when you have a LOT of pc's to install and update.

    Some people actually have 50+ systems to regularly upkeep and reinstall....

    Take what he said then automate it via RIS so its done over the network and you have yourself a money / time saving winner times 10000000. So when the next batch of 200 desktop units come in, you dont pass out :) Instead you take it to their allocated positions, plugin, network boot, then sit back and watch the os install, software install, configurations install, ready for user!

    Silently install internet security certificate?

    in Application Installs

    Posted

    I had a similar goal, had a certificate that we install on all laptops. So my first solution was I made a vbscript that copies a folder of files to the local computer then runs a batch file. The vbscript ran on login via group policy. However you could run it manually or something like that.

    Files in the folder included:

    certmgr.exe

    certificate file (my cert wasnt a .cer file though)

    and some registry changes for ie

    install.bat

    install.bat looked like the following:

    @echo off
    regedit /s "myregfileforie.reg"
    certmgr.exe -add -c "mycert.p7b" -s -r localMachine root
    exit

    for info sake the reg file contained the following:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\mydomain.com]
    "*"=dword:00000002

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\2]
    "1A00"=dword:00000000

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\mydomain]
    "*"=dword:00000002

    This basically just added my local domain as a trusted site.

    My 2nd solution that I made later on, was to bundle the above into a .msi installer file. That is much more complicated to explain. :) Hope this sets you on the right track!

    Notepad++

    I know notepad+! If so, then it's a single file with some reg keys that I can share them. It's easy to deploy.

    sorry to ask why want msi since original software can be unattended install with /S command... curious only

    The MSI is required because he/she wants to use Active Directory deployment. This isn't an unattended installation it is a network installation possibly to 100's of computers.

    I had some spare time, so i made an MSI for you to try out.

    Notepad++ v3.8 1.13 MB - MD5 = 0858d3b25a40a9411dc97cd332444f95

    Integrating fonts and some cosmetics

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    TO change the visual style and icons of Windows XP you need to take a few steps,

    1) you windows xp has to be running a "patched" version of uxtheme.dll to allow custom visual styles to be applied. so you windows setup needs to have this dll prior to insall.

    2) either via registry or i think in the unattend.sif file you can change the theme to the new theme visual style you want to use

    As for changing the icons, if you have a shell32.dll which has already had its icons changed you need to delete the shell32.dl_ and compress your new file and place it in palce of the file you just deleted.

    If however you need to make your own shell32.dll, the way i do it is using an app called reshack http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/

    I believe there is better apps out there, so you may want to look around.

    Help with Adminstudio

    in Application Installs

    Also,

    Check for a ISscript8.msi file or something similar, the setiup.exe may be just running that, so when you try to run the msi directly it hasnt got the ISscript8.msi installed.

    You need to run the IScript8.msi first then you may be able to run the NeroSuite.msi.

    I havent used this method specifically on this app, but a few others with similar problem were resolved this way.

    Cheers,

    Ry
