LOL I read all that to find it worked for him at the end. Yes I didn't like it popping up either, some want it there so you know it really is installing, but I just tested it once and used /quiet after that. Whats funny is I was convinced you cannot install IE8 from SVCPACK, people were saying Windows needs to be fully logged in, but this addon proves that wrong. Trying to find a tweak now to stop the welcome screen but the tweak I did find was the IE8 RC1 tweak and think the reg entries have changed since IE8 RC1. Problem is that welcome screen sets up a lot of things like Phishing Filter and so on, it can't just be one entry because how is all the other stuff set up? It needs a lot of tweaks I think to fully stop the IE8 nag screen, sorry, IE8 welcome screen.

Not working.

Thanks, I learn new things every day, a 7z silent installer. Well, I put it all on store setting (no point compressing the IE8 setup file). Was about to put a link to that guide but you beat me. Notice someone joined today asking about this... I wonder if anyone is making a x64 true addon, not that I am even hinting that anyone should, I know it is really time consuming and complicated, I just wonder if anyone is working on one thats all. I understand it a lot better now how to make addons, at least installer types!

Thanks for this. Does it have to be passive? I was using these 3 on mine: /quiet /update-no /norestart Also, can I just make a 7z archive of the SVCPACK folder + entries.ini, for use with nLite 1.4.9.1?

If it is simple, where would I find out how to do it? No 2 applications are the same.

OK thanks, yes I will probably switch to RunOnceEx at some point.

Thanks but I found out that the RunOnce key cannot "hold" an entry, thats why it does not appear there, it does appear but vanishes in like 0.00001 seconds. Im doing it under another key now and will just have to fix it later to stop it running on every reboot. So there you go - the RunOnce key might as well not be there because you can't add anything to it, not using an INF anyway.

Aside from that having nothing to do with it entering data under a reg key from an INF file, you're wrong anyway. It doesn't, it goes in %systemroot% and that doesn't need any path. I already know this looking for example at the file in my WINDOWS folder called "RTHDCPL.EXE" that is a program for my sound card - see, pathless and it does run... Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "RTHDCPL"="RTHDCPL.EXE" Thats all that says plus I know it works because I have done it before, thats why I am doing it this way now. Please stop confusing things. Or don't reply if you don't know! But for now I am not even at that point and don't want to jump the gun here when the very initial thing isn't even working. Just downloaded this from RyanVM: [Tool] Reg2Inf converter v0.46 http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2169 It gave me this converted to INF (from a reg file I know for certain does work to put the entry in, as a reg file) [Version] Signature = "$Windows NT$" [DefaultInstall] AddReg = REGEntries.AddReg [REGEntries.AddReg] HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce","MyEntry",0x0,"MyFile.bat" Nice, the 0x00000000 has changed to 0x0, I had my hopes up there for a minute but guess what - does not work. Nothing anyone can suggest could make it work, I don't even know why I am asking. Thats not to say people here are daft I am saying there IS no answer. All I can think is the registry is broken, or locked down in some way even though I am the Administrator logged in as Administrator, why oh why isn't any of this working? I have tried countless times now right clicking an INF to "install" it into the registry and its not working. PS yes if I do "REG ADD" in a batch file that works perfectly, but even then the batch file is being deleted from the WINDOWS folder and I don't know why. Its supposed to run on next reboot not just vanish off the face of the earth, but nevermind, I am not even at that point yet, all I want to solve is this INF and to make it put the entry in. No, the answer isn't anything other than putting a line in HIVESFT.INF it must go there, please don't suggest anything else when this is what I need to do. People always say do this and do that but I tried it hours ago, or can't do it.

I searched Google and this forum, nothing I have tried works. I want to add a reg entry under: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce This should be straightforward - just put this line in HIVESFT.INF where RunOnce appears: HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce","MyEntry",0x00000000,"MyFile.bat" 1 - MyFile.bat is already in %systemroot%\ 2 - It doesn't need the path, just referencing the bat file has worked in the past. I have been trying for hours now, over 2 days and nothing works. I put an INF file on the desktop that says: [Version] Signature = "$Windows NT$" [DefaultInstall] AddReg = StartRunOnce [StartRunOnce] HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce","MyEntry",0x00000000,"MyFile.bat" But if I right click this INF and check in the registry under that key, the entry "MyEntry" is not there. I have tried every single way I can think now, searched Google, searched here, no one seems to have this problem. What do I need in the INF file to make it work? Be prepared for every single suggestion to fail by the way. Thats if anyone even has anything to suggest, theres only one way to do this and I have tried so many varied lines now, I must have used the correct syntax at least once!

Cheers Kel I PM'ed you about this but I will try this. x64 innit, sigh.

Erk! I tried it on XP x64 and no go, needs a different bunch of hex in Quick.inf I guess? Kel I PM'ed you.

OK thanks, I never knew if winnt32.exe picked it up "without" switches or not, since the winnt.sif file is the only thing you need in the "clean install" setup.

Lets say you make an unattended XP CD. All you do is add "winnt.sif" to I386. Now, what happens when you use winnt32.exe to install or upgrade - does winnt32.exe use the winnt.sif file? Maybe for install but not upgrade? Both? I don't know thats why I am asking.

This is a good way but I get the error: File \XP64\biosinfo.inf could not be loaded. The error code is 14. Setup cannot continue. Press any key to exit. EDIT: Sorry my mistake I did not amend the "SetupSourcePath" in this file: \XP64\TXTSETUP.SIF Now it works!

Holy cow I have been trying to get it working all day and only just realized this is why! Replying to it from 4 years ago, hehehehe.

Thanks for looking, this method is also posted here on MSFN. 4) Quick Launch Toolbar. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=129792 Yes, it does work doing it this way but I am after some automated way of doing it - yes even down to stretching the dividers to where I want them, impossible, all has to be done "manually" I guess?

Sorry I can't answer, what faked one? Racking my brains on how to make QL appear (with batch commands and reg tweaks) its impossible, the registry is protected in those keys and unprotecting them (gaining permission) has to be done in the GUI, unless anyone knows a tool to gain permission (you'd be logged in as the user that is gaining permission etc) there has to be some way to automate it?

You might have to use a recovery program to "see" the data again. I say GetDataBack. Then you need a spare drive of equal or greater size to copy the data onto.

As far as I know its only Manual Install you need to keep, I know for a fact it works without Game Explorer. Not sure about the other SQM thing. You can. Maybe not in vLite, I don't know, but you can touch unattended settings on Windows 7. Impossible until Nuhi supports Windows 7. You can't get it below 1.2Gb even if you tick every box in vLite.

We will have to wait until Microsoft provide a WAIK for this version of Windows. We can't "guess" what needs to go in that Autounattend.xml file but thats what we would be doing, just guessing.

Tom did this HFSLIP for XP x64 get underway? Trying to find some clean way that can do that stupid 35Mb hotfix that nLite and nothing it seems can slipstream properly: IE7-WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB958215-x64-ENU.exe

How can it be piracy to talk? No one can tell people what they can or can't talk about, except whats in the MSFN rules, which you people sometimes take too far, why not actually read the rules to check if talking about Windows 7 amounts to piracy? It doesn't. It just says no links to warez or posting info like serial keys, or how to crack something, well if all we are doing is talking about Windows 7, that doesn't add up to anything apart from a bunch of people talking about Windows. I guess talking about Ted Bundy amounts to murder too huh? Its comments like yours that ruin forums like this. How are we meant to make any advancements with something we are not allowed to discuss? Can't understand the logic myself. Knowledge is power. Merry Christmas everyone, its not likely I will post again before then so... Merry Christmas.

Bump?

I had to install x64 in VMware and nLite the whole thing inside VMware. It is OK now. Seriously though have you really got to have that 35Mb hotfix (KB958215) on the ISO and install it? 1 - Why is this KB958215 hotfix so huge? 2 - Why does nLite never slipstream these "IE7-*.exe" hotfixes, regardless of whether IE7 is at the top of the list or not? Seems like such a waste of space on the ISO thats all. 35Mb for one stupid "hotfix". Even the IE7 setup isn't that big. Just noticed my WUA is from July 2007 when theres an October 2008 one out, thats why THAT didn't work then, hmmmm... its almost all done now except this massive hotfix KB958215.

Strange. Very strange. After this it seems to crap out, leaving the driver tmp folder there etc. It says this after all hotfixes are integrated and it is just about to start removing things. No, its not some "H:" drive either! I do not have a H drive. But it doesn't always crap out, I think the last one I tried was usable but I needed all the WMP11 hotfixes, even though nLite had run the WMP11 slipstreamer itself it never seemed to take any notice of the 15 or so WMP11 hotfixes. I will keep trying. What I need is a proper update pack for XP x64 like the Onepiece one, but x64. One of the IE7 hotfixes is 35Mb! nLite won't integrate this, it never has been able to with any hotfixes starting with "IE7" so, those are installed afterwards but 35Mb added to the ISO is crazy, there must be some way to actually slipstream this monstrous 35Mb hotfix? __________________________________________________________________________ EDIT: I just moved this error out of the way and it says KB954600 on nLite so I guess this is the hotfix causing it. Is it because I am running all this on a 32-Bit version of XP? If so then, this seems a little bit silly, that nLite has to actually execute these hotfixes in order to slipstream them?
