that's it.... you double posted again. posted in wrong forum READ THE RULES

@xper Thanks. I wonder if it'd be possible to turn the Applications part of the website, into more of a database, and allow people to add to it...be kinda interesting. @Doggie I was debating, and i believe it's obvious which won. Hopefully I wasn't too out of line.... Where has Aaron gone? didn't he say he'd be back in the fall?

Please wait atleast a day. After that bump, but please just wait a day. If you don't, people might start thinking your impatient. And we don't want that now do we? I know I'm not the only one, but I click on the link at the bottom of the forum page that says "Today's Active Topics" and it brings up ALL new posts to the forum, regardless what page they're on....

Wrong. SEARCH. Golden rule of this forum, SEARCH. I did a mere search of DIVX and even in the last 30 days I found 4 by you.

Divx uses NSIS is what he's telling you. NSIS is the installer type, like there is Windows Installer and InstallShield, NSIS is just another type. /S is the silent switch such NSIS installers.

and please read my signature, and take it to heart..... sometimes I can't find a coherent thought.....

alright, so you disregared both mine and drthawizkid's post? I gave you a silent installer to replace your current one, and he gave you an option to suppress the reboot. tisk tsik

who would need that many watermelons? ::guy runs over grabs all of them:: touche Cost-Mart... Sorry, Family Guy moment there... yeah, You could use the REBOOT properties as well. they would go within the quotes just after the /v where the /qn goes ( /v"/qn REBOOT=Suppress" )

Alright, I just closed THREE threads of your's ALL ON THIS TOPIC. ALL about the exporting of the registry key. DON'T POST MULTIPLE TIMES REQUESTING THE SAME THING. Don't do it. Sipmle as that. If no one has answered in two days or so, bump the thread, but don't recreate.

didn't mazin post a step by step guide awhile back with examples of individual programs using WinInstall LE? As for AdminStudio, i think it's the simplist. You start the repackager, tell it the app setup program, install the program, and it records the changes into the MSI.

Easiest fix, download RyanVM's Java pack. It's silent by default, and installs the latest JavaVM from Sun (the one you SHOULD be using, though the page you linked is indeed the java site) http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/applications/sunjava.htm might work, though I'm sure you've seen that. DUnno about the new version. http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/ RyanVM's files.

RyanVM's for the most part are teh original installers, just packed in a SFX archive (self-extracting RAR or similar compression archive). You might be able to accomplish the same with the MUI, but I have yet to hear of any way to actually MERGE it with the original XP source. Perhaps a gander at the Microsoft websites? The recovery console is as close to the repair option you;ll get if you use winnt.sif. Perhaps godan's settings (in the linked thread) solves it, but the repair option is simply the replace all installed XP files with the original CD ones right? Basically just a complete reinstall of the OS. The Recovery might be better suited. But yes, WINNT.SIF pretty much destroys the Repair option. However, as a work around.... you could have a multiboot disc. Not with multiple OS's, but if you look at the flyakite guide (flyakite.msfnhosting.com), the XP section makes use of the boot folders (the WINNT~BT folders when installing form within Windows). If you make two copies of them, one with and one without the winnt.sif file, you'll have a nice work around as well as a method to install without anything preentered for whatever reason you may need that.

http://www.google.com/custom?domains=www.m...ID%3A1%3B&hl=en ^^ A simple search of MUI in the google bar. And I didn't say you were keeping me from studying, I was merely giving an example that I have things to do as well. I must apologize for my sarcastic remark. Sorry. But the fact remains....SEARCH. Repair option: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...28448&hl=Repair Read nuhi's post. BOTH of these searches used ONE WORD. There is no program to do all the work for you. nLite was originally intended to merely make the CD smaller, and a replacement for the old Batch files. the MUI takes a simple line of code to work. Should have read

I seem to remember a talk about bumping posts awhile back Adiel......

Let me BE VERY CLEAR! The ease of use later one would be if you added say.....I dunno...Adobe Acrobat Reader or something. Now instead of adding yet ANOTHER line to [GUIRunOnce], the start.cmd keeps winnt.sif nice and clean. What you have right there will work, assuming you add ( " ) 's at the end of the lines that start with quotes. But you obviously don't understand what is happening, and that is because you have yet to actually READ. Skimming doesn't count, READING does. Already answered with a link I gave you above.http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/oemfolders.htm And it does use winnt.sif,as you need OEMPreInstall=YES for it to work. Read that page, and that should answer your question, if it doesn't.... Wait....let me get this straight....you want a program to do all the work for you? Did you even search? Why should I do all the work for you? I should be studying for a test right now. Search MUI in the google bar at the top. There you should find SOMETHING. Well golly gee Mr. O' Wholahan, why doesn't the search work for me? Well I don't know Timmy, did you even try in the first place? YES! Using Winnt.sif will disable the Repair option. There is a post int eh nLite section regarding a workaround with a keypress, but YOU'LL have to search for it.

That should be unneeded if the bootsector is already included with the ISO.

a switchless installer is an installer that does not need a /silent or /S or -f1 or anything to install it properly without user interaction. For your chipset driver, search.

Incorrect. Mount it using DaemonTools then capture the virtual drive in VirtualPC. Makesure CDIMAGE is actually including the boot sector

hmmm..... what you could do....though I'm not sure if it will work..... change the registry value.... [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion] ProgramFilesDir to your %ARC% value, using REG.EXE from where you're declaring ARC. Then redefine %Programfiles% in that command instance, and possibly even in the Session Manager to your %ARC% value. I'm not sure if this works, so you'd have to test. However, you MAY needed to run the ARC declaring batch file during CMDLINES.TXT or something and install the applications during RunOnceEX to get the effect. I'm not sure....

http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/finish.htm Just create the ISO (you don't have to burn it) start up a virtual machine (there are links on that page for trials and those should be sufficient) and test it like a real install. The only thing that shouldn't work right are drivers. If you don't want to go that route, you can only test RunOnceEX and create the folders and such like you have them in your file (the paths to the EXEs and whatnot) READ

Well, with a combination of an example script (which with the AutiIT thread you have MANY) and the help file to look up the command, that should be all you need to do a simple script to install or run a program.

Double Post. Dont do it.

I'm starting to think you don't quite meet those requirements. Correct, with a minor correction. start.cmd is for EXPANDABILITY IF YOU WANT TO ADD TO WHAT YOU"RE ALREADY what to do. I said it for ease of use for you later on. But YES, what you have in your edited portion is correct. You have yet to read. And if you did, you didn't read the whole thing. You read the part of the manual that you thought pertained to you, without regard for reading the beginning. http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/batch_commands.htm Step 3 you didn't understand. You didn't read the WINNT.SIF reference. You didn't read what has been said in this thread. YOu're trying to piece together every idea you come across, blending it with your that you already have, without any underlying concept of what your doing. Overview: 1. In winnt.sif under [GUIRunONce] add "%systemdrive%\install\start.cmd" AND THAT'S IT. 2. In start.cmd add the commands you want to run. Voila, that's ALL YOU HAD TO DO.

Well, I was thinkin of putting it in another forum where they'd see it, however, it is more appropriate in this forum, so if nothing else others can voice their opinions that aren't mods/admin

Wrong Forum. Short answer, yes. Long answer, use winnt.sif. It can be used for something OTHER then unattended install. you can provide as LITTLE as you want, and it will still work. Search next time.
