have you considered XPlode?

you could use XPCreate for your 2k install to speed up the hotfix and IE6 portion. If you look there, there was a discussion on how to install IE6 unattended.

Well, for a security pack untill there are soo many hotfixes to Service Pack 2 as for the link to WIndows update, it's also in the hotfix sticky. I think for Javascript update? It's in teh Type2 section, I kno that

It is a forum, but there is no need to clutter the forum with questions asking for answers that have either already been answered or addressed. If you did search, you didn't search effectively. 30 days is not an appropriate window to search for most boards, let alone this one. Keep this in mind on future searchs, and don't always narrow down your search so you get an EXACT MATCH.

well, some may have to be modified. Because I know i make some MSTs to include my serial number so I don't have to, or sometimes InstallSHield records it in the iss file. Just be careful to remove them.

could be but I haven't seen anyone on this forum that got it work. Always got the line 18 error. I've seen sysprep working with the winnt.sif but that's about it.

Like I said, TXTSETUP.SIF WORKS! The Winnt.sif doesn't http://greenmachine.msfnhosting.com/READING/addraid.htm if you care to not go awry from MSFN based sites. but I should point out to others when they post stating txtsetup.sif works, the poster already said he has that part working, he just didn't want to edit any setup files.

I was saying the entries in the Winnt.sif file DON'T work as they're meant to, not that the txtsetup.sif method doesn't. You may be confusing the two.

HEY!! There's 1.1.0!! And you thought it just went poof.

mmkay.... say you have a solid color rectangle..... instead of it taking up the amount of space of the rectangle, the rectangle would be stretched to cover the whole vertical length of hte screen but still the same width of the original rectangle.

you do not have the Windows XP identifier files at the root of your image. Win51, Win51IP, Win51IP.SP1 if you have professional. They are the files that were at the root of your Window XP CD, along with the one created by the ServicePack integration.

WinDVD is an installshield app, think for it. Do use a search. As for the registration, you're on your own. DVD Plugin, look how people have done hte language files. Now seriously, USE THE SEARCH BUTTON!! It works better if the window of the search isn't 30 DAYS, but maybe A BIT larger.

maybe its just me, but people don't search anymore. The reason the TXTSETUP.SIF method is the most talked about on this forum, is because it's one of the FEW methods that work. The one in the deploy.cab file does NOT work. I have a theory, based on a Sysprep setup, but I never got around to testing it.

as I said, remove the any OTHER entries of OEMPreInstall. You have two. remove OemPreinstall=No but LEAVE OEMPreInstall=Yes

did you put the winnt.sif file in your boot folder for the installation you're trying to start?

do look at the website already cited by AaronXP. look there, then ask again.

do you have OEMPreInstall=Yes in your winnt.sif and the ONLY OEMPreInstall entry.

do you have the .NET framework installed?

download XPlode and look at the CHM file, ya know the documentation?

Not true. I wrote mine in Notepad. Setupmgr.exe has never seen the light of day on my PC.

not ENTIRELY accurate. add this at the end of your batch, and it will start the RunOnceEX process... rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess

there is no change to the folder structures.....all you REALLY do put XPlode the the files within the archvie in the same folder as your original batch file. then read up on the XML file syntax. Converting Batch to XML is quite easy. everything leading up the .exe goes in program, and everythign after goes in arguments. Example: <execute display='Installing Radeon 9600 Drivers' program='#XPlode#\Drivers\ATI\Radeon\Setup.exe' arguments='-s -f1"#XPlode#\Drivers\ATI\Radeon\atidriver.iss" -f2"#windir#\Temp\ati.log" -verbose'></execute> if this were in a batch file it would be like so.. start /wait %xplode%\Drivers\ATI\Radeon\Setup.exe -s -f1"#XPlode#\Drivers\ATI\Radeon\atidriver.iss" -f2"#windir#\Temp\ati.log" -verbose

oh my god, does NO ONE even THINK to either search or read on what they ask?

first, is that Bold on? second, all XPlode is is a replacement for batch files. follow unattended.msfn.org that will tell you how to set it up. Work on that, then transfer to XPlode. It would be easier.

%USERPROFILE%\Desktop would be the logged in user's desktop. as for creating your own, if you know the PATH to the folder.... just type at a command prompt set DOWNLOADS=C:\Downloads or via registry at HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment
