is that from the official MSDN multiboot that Microsoft created? You could try to blank out the three entries you don't want with 00.

sorry, I don't see what's wrong. but I highly suggest XPCreate for doin the hotfixes. You can add other programs as well, when you get the hang of it. But XPCreate works successfully, and most errors, is because the hotfix was never included. All the files are in I386\Update? All named like they are in the SVCPACK.INF? Maybe UnattendMode=ProvideDefaultshould be UnattendMode=FullUnattendbut I dunno. I'm sure you had a reason, but couldn't hurt to test.

quick and easy way would be to use XPCreate. otherwise, it would help if you postedfiles.

have you tried letting the computer restart after the Video drivers are installed, before installing the Capture drivers?

umm...by IDENT i didn't mean ones containing the phress IDENT. I meant the files at the root of your slipstreamed W2K folder. CDROM_NT.5 CDROM_IP.5 CDROMSP4.TST README.DOC READ1ST.TXT

yes. make sure you're also editing TXTSETUP.SIF to reflect it's new path. AND make sure you copy the IDENT files, that are in the root of your Win2K folder.

good, then while you play aruond with that, I'll play aroudn with adding the latest Longhorn. Tried real quickly last night (actually, I completely rebuilt the disk from scratch in under 1 hour), but it kept reboot after the initial Longhorn Setup screen came up.

That it is. But CDShell is free I feel that CDSHell has greater abilities to be customized then EasyBoot.

lol. If you didn't say that, I would have said to do somethign similar And yeah, Plug and Play IDs.

the regshot idea sounds like a plan, but I have a feeling you're going to run into some problems. You're most likely going to run into PnPIDs in the registry path.

...gotta love runon sentences.

SVCPACK and CMDLINES.TXT are executed during Instal, not first logon. just don't give a password to your Admin account, and in your Winnt.sif add UnattendSwitch="yes" to GUIUnattend

why can't you copy them? Do you not have the original disk?

please use a more descriptive title, then just "Folder"

looks to me like you guessed at half the switches. look here for Acrobat: http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/applications/adobereader6.htm When the Daemon tools installation starts up, (not the first one, but the ACTUAL installation, there are two windows) go to your temp folder, and in a subfolder in there is the MSI. Winzip isn't /qn. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=10618

if you took it out, your line would work correctly, if the user has Admin priveleges. I dunno about the T-9 problem.

killerbee's works because it doesn't use a seperate user to install it from. If you use an alternate user to install it (with the username and password arguments) you have to use the path to the program that actually executes it, in this case msiexec.exe

I don't know the exact answer, but as a way of formating the directories, I wouldn't touch the numbers themselves. As if you were to do them correctly, it would provide a more stable system as 1 would load before 2 and so on. What I would suggest, is to use Subfolders, like drivers\001_NIC\DELL;drivers\001_NIC\GATEWAY; and so on.

I wonder if Microsoft is truly going to use the new update.exe in most of their hotfixes. That would most likely fix ALOT of problems, as they have the /integrate feature.

Looks like the Windows Pirates will get a repriieve from finding yet ANOTHER key to use. lol.

the worst part is, is that he did post a link to it, AFTER the code block. I'll remove the block. Also, just as a little reminder, they the attachment thing is good, after you question has been answered and you posted a IMAGE, do remove the attachment. It saves bandwidth.

As promised, I've been experimenting with how to get Windows 98 to properly multiboot. And here it is. It's working for me, but I'll need some volunteers to fully test it. And by test, if you have any problems with what's on Flyakite's Website try this. Alrighty, first the files you'll need. 1. You'll need a Win98 startup disk. If you don't have one handy to make an image of, go to Bootdisk.com and you can download one from there. 2. FindCD.exe ; this is different from DetectCD.exe. I've taken this directly from Microsoft's image. So yeah... FINDCD.EXE download You'll also need a hexeditor and Winimage, but since you've already tried Flyakite's way, I'll assume you have those. Alrighty then, let's get started. Preparation Create a new folder somewhere. I don't care where. It's jsut to store three files, AUTOEXEC.BAT , CONFIG.SYS, and FINDCD.EXE Downlaod FINDCD.EXE from the link above, and save it in the directory. Then open Notepad, and copy this into it: @ECHO OFFset EXPAND=YESSET DIRCMD=/O:Nclsset temp=c:\set tmp=c:\path=a:\ LH MSCDEX.EXE /D:oemcd001 /L:D echo. :AUTOSETUPset CDROM=FOO23FINDCD.EXE if "%CDROM%"=="FOO23" goto NOCDROMpath=a:\;%CDROM%\%CDROM%cd \SETUP\WIN_98SE\WIN98echo.OEMSETUP.EXE /K "/IE /NF"goto QUIT :NOCDROMecho.echo The Windows 98 Setup files were not found.echo. :QUITChange the line cd \SETUP\WIN_98SE\WIN98To the path of your WIN98 cab files. On a normal Win98 CD, they're in the WIN98 folder. Save this file as AUTOEXEC.BAT in your working folder. Create a new file, and save this in it : device=himem.sys /testmem:offdevice=oakcdrom.sys /D:oemcd001 device=btdosm.sys device=flashpt.sysdevice=btcdrom.sys /D:oemcd001device=aspi2dos.sysdevice=aspi8dos.sysdevice=aspi4dos.sysdevice=aspi8u2.sysdevice=aspicd.sys /D:oemcd001 files=60buffers=20dos=high,umbstacks=9,256lastdrive=zSave this as CONFIG.SYS Now that that is out of the way, lets start hexing. Hexing Open up FINDCD.EXE in your hex editor. Look for the line that's in the following image. You're looking for what's in RED. Click over to where the numbers are, and find the position that corresponds with the \ after the %c: start typing 0's. not O's, but ZERO's. This makes everything null. Type the zero's up till the next %. Don't 00 the %. Alrighty then. Pick a file at the root of your CD. I chose WIN51 as my CD also has Windows XP on it. If you had a CD.TXT file you could use that. Or you could create your own, so that each disk is unique like AIO1.txt if you have different version of the disk. Click over to the text side of the window. just after the %c: type .... \WIN51substitute WIN51 with your file, and be sure to include the file extension if there is one. Win51 doesn't have one, so I didn't. Also make sure that it's in ALL CAPS. I don't know if it really matters, but better safe then sorry. Save the file, overwriting the old one. I've attached MY findcd.exe file after the hexing, incase you don't want to bother with this part. ReInjection Open up your 98 boot disk image into WinImage. Then Drag and Drop your new Autoexec.bat , Config.sys, and findcd.exe into your image. Click yes to the overwriting prompt and what not. Save it. FINISHED Bravo! You're finished. Now just continue following flyakite's guide for your other OS's, or test to make sure it works. Compile your Image, burn or emulate or whatever, and hope it works. It worked for me, so I hope to hear feedback on whether it does work or not. EDIT:: Removed the pauses i left in in the autoexec.bat file. They were for my diagnosing. FINDCD.EXE FINDCD.EXE

like evilvoice said, did you even think to try searching the board? or even look in the Application Switch thread. soulseek uses the ghostinstaller, did you try searching for that? If you did, also search for UltraEdit. It uses the same isntaller.

read the site? there is a link to the OPK version of DX9 on the unattended site. It doesn't required any switches.

well, I have seen quite a few of your posts lately with the: "Read the site, post the logfiles, or start with the basics"
