Before people start getting ansy....i believe the KEY words being...

indeed I will, Probally won't be till next weekend though (unless I decide that I've had enough studying which may very well happen). I have Finals next week, so most likely after those are done. @eben do explain, as I'm not entirely sure. Also, a link to that thread in question would be nice. P.S. Ironic that I check the Winamp website last night to see if there was an update, and I didn't see anything. CURSE being two hours too early.

Enough

i NEVER once said free of charge, I said he was entitled to a replacement. That means that he would ahve to pay SOMETHING whether it be a replacement fee (5-20 $) and/or shipping

But it is illegal. You're changing the OS from one version to another. Service packs you're changing revisions. You may miss alot of the software previously installed (like alot of Ads and trial software). What files you need you should be able to download fromt he Dell Support website and add them to your install routin.

not entirely true... you can hold about 730MB give or take on a 700MB CD. That problem comes with hardware and software. Does you software support overburning and how much recovery sectors do you want? If you do a Mode2-XA i think, you can make out yoru CD but you need overburn capabilities.

any reason you didn't just order the CD from Microsoft? If the CD gets scratch you're are entitled to a replacement one...assuming of course it was a legal CD in the first place

under the EULA you're not allowed to change one OS into another. This would be classified as reverse engineering amongst others @simon_ibarra You're going through alot of trouble to get this to work. Have you even thought of just downloading the drivers fromt eh Dell website, and just add them to your Pro disc? If you continue down this path, you violate your OEM EULA. Just use your Pro disc on the laptop.

hmmm... untill we can figure it out... use: http://unattended.msfn.org/global/sitemap.htm There's a link from the menu to it under Home.

screenshot?

The EULA isn't posted on his website, but as the first box displayed when trying to extract XPlode to a folder.

does the download not finish?

no.... Taken from teh very thread you got the REG ADD command. You DON'T need that KB873374.exe call AT ALL!

just ignore that whole line. All it does is run a scan for a couple of files. Most of which you shouldn't have unless you have an older version of WIndows or with Office 2000 and below. The line right below that, (the REG ADD line) takes care of it showing up on Windows Update.

"MP10Setup.exe /Q:A /R:N /c:""setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /NoPID /DisallowSystemRestore""" Should work in SVCPACK.INF. If you're using it elsewhere MP10Setup.exe /Q:A /R:N /c:"setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /NoPID /DisallowSystemRestore" P.S. Taken directly from the WMP OEM Distribution material

Then Add this to the Cmdlines.txt as a reg file. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> oh my.....putting a REG.EXE expression in a normal registry file shouldn't work. It would have to be [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\GdiDetectionTool] GDITool=0x00000001 @chance 1. Copy REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\GdiDetectionTool" /v "GDITool" /t REG_DWORD /d "00000001" /f into NOTEPAD, and save as GDITOOL.CMD : Set the file type to all, or it will get saved with a .txt extension. Now, open up CMDLINES.TXT (located in your $OEM$ folder). If you don't have one, just open a new file in NOTEPAD, and copy this [COMMANDS] "GDITOOL.CMD" If you do already have a CMDLINES.TXT file, then just add the quoted line. That should do it. P.S. I wrote the Unattended site, but I haven't had time to properly write something on how to start install routines, or add registry tweaks. Darn semester finals....

depending on if I'm lazy.... Integration manually (pretty much the same method as RyanVM uses for his pack) RyanVM's pack.

The main problem with this, atleast the current situation... is that people could not do the ONE thing the author requested. Answering questions related to syntax error or such, I have no problem answering. But when the author tells you to read the EULA, and you don't, then you shouldn't use the program. I personally like Wraith's new idea on how to deploy XPlode, and we'll see how that goes. But seriously, concerning the whole EULA thing. After the 200th post of people saying "I've read the EULA, but the button doesn't activate" Wraith just got fed up and posted a screen shot of what to click to activate the button. But wait, people STILL asked saying they read the thing? SOme people MIGHT have had legitimate problems, but without proper proof, or what you have done to your system, then it's user error and as such user fault.

Theoretically, they should only take one vote. The pope is supposed to be selected by God, and go in knowning they're oging to be the pope.

it's my original one, but was replaced by the current one. (Notice some formatting errors) So how is it?

http://unattended.msfn.org/advanced/methods/xplode2.htm How's this?

huh?

RIS basically runs the Setup of the OS wanting to be installed correct? It's the setup of the OS that determines what is copied. Windows 2000 doesn't support this.
