I haven't been able to disable the security prompts for downloaded files. Microsoft has nothing documented on it either. Surprise Surprise. I'll check the newsgroups though soon. Disabling Security center doesn't get around it. Also, don't be fooled if you open the Custom settings after reseting them. The box will say Medium, but all the settings will be what you reset them to. Blasted Microsoft forcing Security settings down our throats.

GM did update the lists to reflect SP2 changes. You could download all the post SP1 hotfixes and put them in the right directories, and just set DLAUTO=NO in the INI file.

Again, BIG NO NO. You are violating the license underwhich you have agreed to use XPCREATE. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO MODIFY/VIEW THE SOURCE CODE. What don't you get? just because you can, doesn't you mean you should.

question about adding apps to RunOnceEx
Alanoll replied to Adiel's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
you forgot some quotes.... REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Ad-aware SE Pro Build 1.02 Retail" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Ad-Aware\aawsepro.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 2 /D "taskkill /IM Ad-Aware.exe" /F REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 3 /D "taskkill /IM hh.exe" /F -
Big NO NO. You are under license to use XPCREATE, and even though it is a CMD file and you can open it in NOTEPAD, you are not allowed to do so. Just read the license you accepted upon installation.

Changing text color/progress color in WINNTBBU.DLL
Alanoll replied to scp's topic in Setup Billboard Screens for Windows
you may have to makecab the file after editing, or modifype the file to correct the checksum. makecab winntbbu.dll or modifype winntbbu.dll -c (you can download modifype.exe form unattended.msfn.org under downloads) -
question about adding apps to RunOnceEx
Alanoll replied to Adiel's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
I'm warning you, it is not poilite or even considered proper etiquet to bump you thread after 40 minutes. Perhaps no even day depending on the number of posts. There is just no reason for it. Don't do so again, and this isn't the first time you've done it. Second, http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/runonceex.htm under the portion of "Understanding RunOnceEX". What you want is to assign several tasks to your thing. If you don't search again, I will be tempted to close the thread, just because it's OBVIOUS you don't search or read. -
RunOnceEx.cmd not working under SP2
Alanoll replied to dukeleto's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
it would most likely end up in %systemdrive%\windows\system32 Keep in mind cmdow.exe does NOT ship with XP. You MUST download it. And yes the "Operation COmpleted Successfully" is the importing of the keys. After importing the RunOnceEX keys, did you restart the computer? -
usually you just place the cursor at where you want to start typing, and type away. Perhaps you need to get a new hex editor. No need for two topics on this very topic as they are related.

Missing files with slipstreamed SP2
Alanoll replied to boxit's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
Instead of a using a modified source to slipstream, even just removing svcpack.inf may not be enough. Just start from a CLEAN source. -
It could be you didn't create the image properly. Wrong color depth or size or something. Double check, resave and reimport.

Longhorn GUI Installation on XP ?
Alanoll replied to wass's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
what exactly are you talking about? the Autorun menu or the winntbbu.dll file? -
to install MS JavaVM 3180 or not on XPSP2
Alanoll replied to edmoncu's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
MS Java VM will not be a part of ANY Microsoft products from now on. -
I'm not going to tell you the numerous methods to use, but it's better to tell you WHEN during the install to do them. Apps are safer from GUIRunONce/RunONceEX (first logon Regtweaks it depends. If they are HKCU, and you want them to be applied to all users, then CMDLINES.TXT. Otherwise, it doesn't matter. HKLM can be from almost anywhere. Accounts, assuming user accounts. If you want the user you create to install apps as well, CMDLINES.TXT, otherwise this can also be done anywhere. Windows settings? these are most likely more registry settings, so refer to my above statement on that.

Look at his post date
-
well, I just reuploaded the file 17:42 GMT, as I forgot to set the switch correctly (INET instead of XINET). As for enabling, AudioCD checkbox is more of a bug. It was already included, but the box not checked. It's under Registry Options >> Audio CD Open With And the connection to the internet, I added a switch called INET. Refer to first post for usage. It's in the same section as XUSER and XFULL

Which Install method do you use?
Alanoll replied to Alanoll's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
indeed..... so I narrowed it down to "Installsing Applications" Not hotfixes, or extracting I personally use a mixture of almost all of them.....(can't decide which I use more though) -
mmkay, those shouldn't be too hard to track down.... the Internet selection thing, is done....simple INI value. the CD thing however, is because Winamp wants the value in the registry a certain way. And I don't put it that way. THe way I put it fixes the directory problem from before, but unchecks the box. I'm trying something now, and hopefully it will work. MSI being uploads to reflect new changes. 16:48 GMT

I"m just curious to see how people use what. And since I haven't started many topics recently, why not this? So in general, what method do you use? If you use RunOnceEX.cmd in CMDLINES.TXT that's still RunOnceEX. I'm talking about in general, how do you install your applications.

no runonceex while overything was fine
Alanoll replied to eagle00789's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
the SETX variable will become active on the NEXT batch file opened. If you use both SETX and SET, it won't cause problems. However, why do you want an %CDROM% variable? XPlode has built in ones for %SOURCEDRIVE% and whatnot which would come out to be the same. And if you have batch files that rely on it that are called from within XPlode just put the variable %SOURCEDRIVE% or whatever in THE ARGUMENTS for the batch call and replace %CDROM% in the batch with %1 -
start.cmd ? RunOnceEx.cmd: ?
Alanoll replied to Sesshoumaru's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
you don't want to use RunOnceEX.CMD to call the commands within the other two. If you added an entry (another reg set) to call the combined second batch file (prepare.cmd and cleanup.cmd) then it will work. runonceex.cmd does NOT execute the programs. Technically setupapi.dll does upon restart. Runonceex.cmd just adds the entries to the registry telling setupapi.dll what to do. If you were to remove the files in runonceex.cmd (cleanup.cmd) then when setupapi.dll runs upon start you'll have nothign but errors. -
BOOT.INI switches location, in SETUP files
Alanoll replied to Alanoll's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
The thing is, it's not really and truly active unless you have a DEP enabled processor, AMD64, Opterons, or the brand spanking new Intels. None of which I have, but I"ve just been curious about this for awhile..... It also changes the way the kernel views the way to run programs. Even if you don't have a DEP enabled processor, the memory is still allocated, which may or may not cause problems. @BeenThereB4 I think I may have a way to use your suggestion. I'll post back when I get some sleep and if I remember the idea. Basically use BOTH INI programs included with XPCREATE. One to get the key name, and use the second to set it. SHould work, but in my setup, that could be ALOT of conditional statements (YEAH BOOLEAN LOGIC) -
custom bootscreens and ntfs.sys error
Alanoll replied to johnnyb's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
YAY!! MCT learned his lesson It's good being right I gave MCT a program called Boot Editor, there should be a link to it in the Customizing Windows sticky at the top of the forum (page 3 if you set you settings to 30 posts a page) It should help in making the bootscreen, especially if the colors get messed up
