i don't think so.... I'm still using the same one from my last few DVDs, and there aren't any errors on screen or in the logs.

coudl it be that the one in system32 is uncompressed and the one for download is compressed and meant to go on the CD?

please stop calling it RTM. It's clearly not RTM, as there's still a couple more months of development on it last I saw. Call it build or beta, but it's not RTM.

It's not a hack persay. SP2 is meant to be able to update a Tablet PC. As for posting this.....against the rules.

Look harder, and use the Search button. They're there. If nothing else, PowerDVD is an InstallSHield setup, so use -r and make a .ISS file.

or wait a couple weeks for the new XPlode and i think someone else is also developing a selection program.

I didn't know 2003 had a service pack go RTM just yet.

And let's not forget..... if someone were to start a collection here of screens, the zip files would be better as they're a few K rather then MB.

except the original 98 boot sector, actually found the CD drive letter. But started MSCDEX.EXE with letters at M or something (atleast the one I have). But IF the CD was still D to begin with, and the hdd was also D, the CD would then become E instead. As for two optical drives, i personally have three. One CD Burner, and two DVD burner. Sure it takes more power, but it's simply for ease of use. Which is why i know the problem with Z

You have two routes to take.... One use the "Test" option which the author suggested to me, and it will create kernel1.exe i believe in system32 and you just copy that. Or download UserXP's adjacent program LogonRandomizer and it does the same thing, but on mass, LogonRandomizer is easier, as you create the .bootscreen files in Booteditor for all logos. LogonRandomizer sees them all, and you just double click the file. Go to system32, copy paste kernel1.exe rename, and repeat. If you need both a single kernel and dual kernel, just overwrite ntoskrnl.exe with the appropriate version and repeat.

FLyakite's site uses a different method, and CDShell has no problem with loading it. He uses SETUPLDR.BIN in conjuction with a sepereate boot folder. My Multiboot DVD works with this method. I HAVE tested it, and HAVE installed from this DVD on a couple systems. It does work. If you load SETUPLDR.BIN directly BCDW doesn't know where to start like it did with SP1, which is why calling the BOOTSECTOR of the original XP CD (albeit modified) which then calls SETUPLDR.BIN works, as it's the original mechanism used to get the setup going.

There is boot editor, or some other one someone posted. You'll need ot learn how to use the tools, or do it yourself. Otherwise, take out thekernel and all should be wel.. As for slipstreaming causing the problem, I have yet to see this in my factory slipstreamed or manually slipstreamed sources. If nothing else, you should slipstream on a pure XP source whether SP1 or not, but WITHOUT HOTFIXES.

the simple fix would be to simply use the bootsector rather then the setupldr.bin file.

Did you replace the original kernel (ntoskrnl.exe) with one your downloaded?

is the instlaler that does it. DVD Decrypter uses NSIS, which is /S

I'm using /S on the current release. Make sure you're using CAPITAL S not lowercase S

IF you haven't figured out what's wrong. Restart the virtual Machine again. THat should start the RunOnceEX. If you have and all that's wrong is switches..... REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Acrobat\AdbeRdr60_enu_full.exe -p"-s /v\"/qn\"" /f should be REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Acrobat\AdbeRdr60_enu_full.exe -p\"-s /v\"/qn\"\"" /f You had nested quotes without escaping them. REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\WMP10\mp10setup.exe /Q:A /R:N /c:"setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /NoPID /DisallowSystemRestore" /S" /f should be REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\WMP10\mp10setup.exe /Q:A /R:N /c:\"setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /NoPID /DisallowSystemRestore\" /S" /f I believe. Again, nested quotes not escaped. FYI- It was Aaron who told you about the title Not Astalavista. Also, it is better to post the problem on the board rather then PM, simply because obviously people don't read ALL the rules, and the posts serve as little helpful reminders.

and he doesn't even search..... /S

If say you have 2 CDROMs. IF you use the SECOND CDROM, the autoexec will break, as the FIRST one detected becomes Z: and the second shouldn't even get a letter.

the images inside are smaller.... the better way and more secure, would be to use a registry tweak to apply the logon screen. Change HKLM\Software\Windows NT\Winlogon\UIHost to the path to your file. And it will execute your logonui instead.

Or god forbid, you find out what entries are created, and ocpy the files over yourself. Hypsersnap uses a proprietary installer.

if you have more then one CDROM, you might run into problems.

there already is on for help/inspiration. It's in the downloaded zip file. There are also, numerous posts already with people's XML files.

@Astalavista CDIMAGE way... Use CDIMAGE to create the ISO. An ISO by definition is an EXACT copy of a CD, including boot sector. CDimage can add the bootsector to teh ISO file created. Then use ANY burning software to burn the ISO. No settings to configure, just burn the image. Nero way... You select the files to burn in the compilator.Then in the burning menu's, you then have to configure Nero to burn the bootsector and all it's properties. CDimage does not need the settings to be configured when burning, and the ISO is completely testable in VMware as a bootable CD.

it depends on the program. If you find an MSI editor, find the property that the serial number gets used in. sometimes it's SERIALNUMBER and you can call NAME.MSI SERIALNUMBER=XXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX and it will work. Most of the times it won't.
