I have done it making a silent installer using legitcontrol.msi and setup.exe from the original exe file (using IEXPRESS) and installed it via svcpack.inf, placing the exe file in svcpack folder

Cool thanks...--hey this stuff is actually fun!

Thanks for the info Hmmm can't get Diskpeeper to install silently... REG ADD %KEY%\325 /VE /D "Install Diskeeper Professional Edition v9.0.532 Retail" /f REG ADD %KEY%\325 /V 01 /D "\"%CDROM%\Software\Diskeeper\setup.exe" /s /v /qn What did I do wrong?

Hey all... Just wondering which would be the best way for a newbie to unattended application installation to attack this "issue"? Which method is the best/easiest to handle first hand? RunOnceEx? AutoIt? pros/cons for both?

Can someone please tell me all the files that are used during text mode setup? And if possible, how/where to disable the "Press F6...." and "Press F2..." wait/pause during textmode setup?

Dale505>how did you remove the other languages? (and justshred)

Jump, worked fine... now on to more trimming

aahhh what the hell, gonna backup the file and give it a go in VMWare...can't hurt But curious to see what "experts" have to say about it as well *S*

I am trying to turn off automatic updates in untattended install. Using this as refference> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/328010/#XS...123120121120120 So far I have tried to do like I have done before, using cmdlines.txt, a cmd file and a reg file - does not work Also tried calling the regfile from RunOnceExe.cmd - does not work. Even tried to manually edit HIVESYS.INF directly with "HKLM, "SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU","NoAutoUpdate", 0x00000001" - does not work... I am out of ideas... The exported regkey> Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU] "NoAutoUpdate"=dword:00000001

hey all.. Been wondering why people, as in your normal home user with 1 or maybe 2 pc's, would want to preinstall applications? I mean, normally you rarely do a fresh install of windows more than twice or maybe max 4 times a years, and in the time between fresh installs, it is more than likely that a newer version of your preinstalled programmes have been released, is it not? Then the time needed to update your automated install batch files would be about the same amount of time needed to update each application manually from within windows, or? And... all these unattended fresh installs.... is there really a need...don't pople use imaging software like Acronis???

browsing through the various files used when installing xp, I noticed the following entries in dosnet.inf and is wondering if they even need to be there when you use a CD to install Xp and don't use bootfisks?

Well, my Raptor is already giving me that on a default XP install But will play a little with "removal" of unneccessary drivers to cut it down further

But where did you get the winupdv6.exe? official MS or selfmade? repackeded wga exe with silent switches..seems to work ok

Hmmm I added both the WINNT.INF entry and did the cmdlines.txt thing... but still sstem rstore is not disabled upon first boot....hmmmm

main reason I asked was to cut off some seconds during install... not having to read all those massstorage drivers from cd etc... I mean, if they are not going to be used, why have them there at all.... gonna tailor the iso for 1 specific and already configured PC anyway... Will eperiment with TXTSETUP.INF... guess removing entried here will speed up install time a little...but will not save space on CD if I don't also remove the corresponding drivers files....

Wondering...has anyone tried to remove all uneccessary drivers from their XP iso? So that they won't be avaiable/installed on the machine on which they are irrelevant? If so, how is it done and/or is it even practical or worth the effort? cleaning TXTSETUP.INF etc...?

Ok, will try the msi thing.. I extracted the files from the wgainstaller exefile....had legitcontrols.msi and setup.exe inside. Making a slient exe just using the msi as input did not work...so do I need to include the setup.exe in the iexpress process as well? If so, how? Or do I have to use the GUIRunOnce method for this one instead? this file you have "winupdv6.exe" ...what is that? Switchless version of...?

Which one are you referring to? the full 1.3.1 pack? No thanks, I don't want to install too many unneccessary hotfixes....

Hey all I am trying to integrate windows installer and windows update into XP. I have already integrated hotfixes using Nlite, and have then edited the scvpack.ini files as follows: [Version] Signature="$Windows NT$" MajorVersion=5 MinorVersion=1 BuildNumber=2600 [SetupData] CatalogSubDir="\i386\SVCPACK" [ProductCatalogsToInstall] CODECS10.CAT DRM10.CAT KB888656.CAT KB893241.CAT KB895181.CAT KB895316.CAT KB904555.CAT MPSTUB10.CAT WMDM10.CAT WMFSDK10.CAT WMP10.CAT WMSET10.CAT KB873339.CAT KB884020.CAT KB885250.CAT KB885835.CAT KB885836.CAT KB885932.CAT KB886185.CAT KB887472.CAT KB887742.CAT KB888113.CAT KB888240.CAT KB888302.CAT KB889527.CAT KB890046.CAT KB890859.CAT KB891781.CAT KB892313.CAT KB893066.CAT KB893357.CAT KB893756.CAT KB894391.CAT KB896344.CAT KB896358.CAT KB896422.CAT KB896423.CAT KB896428.CAT KB896626.CAT KB896688.CAT KB897663.CAT KB898461.CAT KB899587.CAT KB899589.CAT KB899591.CAT KB900725.CAT KB900930.CAT KB901017.CAT KB901214.CAT KB902400.CAT KB903234.CAT KB904412.CAT KB904706.CAT KB905414.CAT KB905749.CAT KB906569.CAT KB907865.CAT [SetupHotfixesToRun] WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe /wuforce /quiet /norestart" /f WindowsUpdateAgent20-x86.exe /wuforce /quiet /norestart" /f LegitCheckControl.msi /q" /f [CatalogHeader] ; Customized by nLite - www.nliteos.com But this part just isn't working Windows installer loads a promt windowd during unattended install.

Hej Martin Den eneste grund til jeg valgte NATS var at det var beskrevet sådan i Unattended guiden... første gang overhovedet jeg bruger VMWare. Prøver at lave den some bridged istedet...tak

hey all Using VMWare to test my unattended windows iso, but have a problem getting the network/internet to work...no connection... Using static ip and set up virtual machine using NAT option... any ideas?

Tried XPCREATE, but don't like the fact that it makes the iso so much bigger...what's with the all the huge exe files in SVCPACK...not too elegant....
