does any of you three think it's anything ELSE? 3 people saying the same thing. NICE. lol. @Rambeaux I believe they're on the right track. Do check your winnt.sif file.

I thought that's what this portion of teh forum was for. To blatantly promote your site and to lure people there.

Unfortunately no. But if like you said, the standard widened, it wouldn't be long till a CD-ROM would read it.

I like those 900 mb CDs myself. Or you could go out and get one of thos burners that supports HD-Burn and get 1400 mbs on a CDR80. That should allow Longhorn to fit fine.

I think that was a demonstrative batch file.... @ECHO OFF call common.cmd If %computername%==Comp1 GOTO Computer1 If %computername%==Comp2 GOTO Computer2 :Computer1 call Computer1.cmd Goto END :Computer2 call Computer2.cmd GOTO End :END ECHO Done EXIT SHould work fine. As a side note, it does not matter what COmptuer2 or Install2 as long as teh GOTO tells it the right place to go. However, you will need to define COMPUTERNAME somehow

shouldn't matter. I've tried the OEMPreInstall with a Retail and OEM copy of Win2k. Never had a problem. Same with Windows XP.

are you sure you read the license?

For some, your post totally ruins what they wanted. SOme people want a disk that will install everything for them. Drivers, applications, everything. Sure they'll be updated, but when CDs are what .14 cents (US$) each, does it really cost much to update them? I just ordered 100 DVD+R's for $40. That's abotu what .42cents a disc? And those are the crap bulk ones either. They're the RITECK ones TDK and them use to make their "own" discs.

There actually is an interesting prospect with post-SP2 hotfixes - you'll be able to slip-stream even the hotfixes into your windows CD. I'm all excited and waiting for it! @edmoncu- Well, those scenarios you describe are a bit complex to explain. You'll have to carry out a trial-and-error method yourself (to succeed). Or, you can stick to the tried-and-tested methods, and save yourself some pain. there already is one hotfix you can do that with you know. It's the 840 one. The first one anyways. I forget the specific number, but it supports the /integrate switch.

And here I thought you were going to update that guide a few weeks ago Very impressive with this transform pack. If I actually liked Macs, I'd problally use it. But then again....my main problems was the mouse. Seriously, ONE BUTTON??? j/k Very nice work.

it may be installed, just not enabled. And that's just more variables. But those right-clicking issues are a problem. I'll look into it when I get home. Now people, these are the bugs I'm more worried about. lol. As for teh file types, those are all Audio File types. And I believe they're ALL there in th normal Winamp install. Winamp will take the associations for whatever filetypes it gets installed for.

I assume konten.cmd is in $OEM$? try putting a PAUSE just before the EXIT, and test again. See if any error messages are displayed in the DOS box.

No, my win2kSP4 uA install runs just fine with a silent dX9c, without the .NET framework's prior presence. Uhm mine doesnt. I get some weird a** errors with my Win2k sp4. Could you post your infs/cmds/regs/vbs' for me to look at. I would really appreciate it. Microsoft wouldn't make a CORE system component rely on it's .NET framework (yet anyways). It was be an Anti-Trust issue, and would be in court extremely fast. It's something you're doing.

hmmm..... hasn't anyone ever heard of the "%CD%" variable? But please note that it is usable only from a batch-file (which is what the majority of mew-comers use). You cant use %CD% in RunOnceEX or INF or XPlode. I tried using SourceDIR from within the MSI, but it is no longer present during the second run, so it would error out again. As for /?, what do you think /a is? I have a change log? lol. I couldn't use /? as it is reserved for /?, so is /a but I can change what /a does, but I can't change /? @midiboy It should show up. I have no control over that except for the ICON. Well I do have control, but it haven't touched it. It should show up as "Winamp 5.0.4", perhaps you need to close the window and open it again. Sometimes that works as it doesn't autorefresh.

"NeverShowExt"=-

the number is the order everything gets installed in. The higher the number the later it goes. 1 is executed before 2. The 0's just so 10 doesn't come before 2

the INF Utility is still that. Maybe they just haven't updated yet.

oh cool.... got me alittle confused with All's good. Thanks for the info nonthe less.

He's not going to get flamed, simply because this topic is now closed.

Just because I'm tired and bored....which doesn't make sense why I'm writing this, but....oh wells.... The problem with the INI was that it couldn't overwrite what was already there. It was sorta CD related but not quite and would become eventually. The INI specified is just copied over to %systemroot%\Winamp5.ini (why I said it would be a workaround) and even if you don't specify an INI file, it will still read that and override whatever is on the command-line (while typing this, there will be one more update to this issue, to resolve what I jsut typed ). But when copied from a CD or whatever, the file will become a READ-ONLY file. The Script the copies the file over runs twice, once for the UI and once for quiet installs and I don't want to spend the time tryign to make it NOT do that. The second time the script runs, it CAN"T overwrite a READ-ONLY file. Blasted limitations. Resolution, delete it before writing. Don't know why it doesn't infer that, but machines are stupid. So did NO ONE notice the new screen in the UI? I guess most peopel are more concerned with quiet installs instead of attended. But I added a screen to enter in your registration info. enjoy

What you may consider is adding a link on your site on the hotfix page to download it. I"m not sure if it's there already.....but.....since you're removing it but still having the entry in the "Current Hotfix" list....

vacation I"m betting will be last. News form the grapevine points to a Aug, 10th RTW. BUt on the bright side, when that does come out, ALOT of the hotfix problems of late will become a mute point :woot:

But those FOR loops..... they just don't make sense to the newer generation tokens, %%I, etc....

This should HOPEFULLY be the last necessary update. I fixed that INI problem. And it was NOTHING that I thought. Blasted READ-ONLY media. lol. Should be fixed now, however INI= still requires the full path to the INI file.

have you tried setting up a network, and having a network share?
