i get an installshield error during guirunonce installation of diskeeper 8 professional on virtual pc

"Failed to extract file 'DLL_ini' from binary table."

has anyone epirienced this error before or knows what causes it?

ECHO Installing Diskeeper 8.0.459 Professional...
start /wait  %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Diskeeper8\DK8PE.msi /QN

so does it mean that by following this method the windows installation will be compatible with different systems or only my system?

does anybody tried to use the installation that this method produces on other systems?

October 13, 2003

This is something i am going to try as i like the idea, But i have one question for you.
When is the HAL created?
If it is in the stage that creates the two folders then this process is only good for the pc it is created on.
If it is after that then all is well and it can be used for all pc's.

i want to try this method but i must know the answer to this question

exporting large binary values with vbs scripts is rather difficult so the simple solution i have is to silently export this reg file with a script like so

----------------the reg file------------------------

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

if you prefer to use environment variables use this script

the switch to use with msi file is /QN

and about the hotfixes it's not a question of to many or not it's a question of whether you need them or not, so if you for eg install hotfixes for outlook or wmp9 and you don't use these programs in windows then u defenatly don't need these hotfixes or you install hotfixes that deal with different hardware you don't own or with other software conflicts you don't have, is another example

October 9, 2003

sorry for that i've corrected the mistake just copy and paste again

October 8, 2003

i supose that you want to run a script that will import those registry values

so here you go(you know the deal save as *.vbs in notepad)

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent","Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Win32)","REG_SZ"

WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\NoNetAutodial",0,"REG_BINARY"

WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\MigrateProxy","00000001","REG_DWORD"

WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ProxyEnable","00000001","REG_DWORD"

WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\EnableHttp1_1","00000001","REG_DWORD"

WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ProxyOverride","192.9.202.88:3128","REG_SZ"

if you'd check drivers folder properties you would notice it gets the hidden and system file attributes(probably by setup program) so what i did was to add the following command before using the rd command

ATTRIB -S -H -R "%systemroot%\drivers" /S /D

RD "%systemroot%\drivers\" /S /Q

no double delete no batch files in runonce no other "auxiliaries"

to remember folder view settings export the following values from registery and add it to your regtweaks file it works only when it's executed during the unattnded installation. tested it already 5 times with virtual pc and worked every time.

here are the values

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams]
"Settings"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Defaults]
"{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"=
"{F3364BA0-65B9-11CE-A9BA-00AA004AE837}"=

damm you're good thanks for the info.

i'm just installing a couple of audio and video codecs with this method and they probably don't require a restart so that's why i was lucky i'll change it 128 right away

October 7, 2003

well from my personal expirience it doesn't cause a reboot but try it too just in case

October 7, 2003

don't you have to pack the inf files back into cab format or am i wrong.

October 7, 2003

thanks a lot for the guide i have tried sometime ago to do this but by copying ntsokrnl.exe with the hel of a cmd file and it didn't work. also to initiallise the boot timeout to zero(i know it sounds stupid) i copied with a batch file an edited boot.ini file

October 7, 2003

maybe someone can tell me which of the following hotfixes is needed

thanks in advance

Q328145

Q329256

Q329692

Q331953

Q814995

Q818857

Q822925

VM-SFIX3

and about the Q823718 - Security Update for Microsoft Data Access Components

microsoft suggests the following switch for an unattended installation /C:"dahotfix.exe /q /n" /q, can it be used in the svcpack.ini?

October 6, 2003

use the following command line

rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 inf path

if you run the installation from cmd or batch file consider adding

start /wait before the command

October 6, 2003

i've searched through all the threads here but couldn't find a guide on integrating custom visual styles,icons and crusors. i used the shell section in winnt.sif but no luck. So if someone can post such guide it will be great, because almost all my unattended installation works great but i'm stuck on this theme thing for almost a week now.

I managed to figure out how to apply crusors and change drive icons using registry

although i can't change the startmenu icons for some reason.

--------->edit Sorry for not starting a new thread but i wanted to ask if someone knows a registery tweak that allows to choose wanted visual effects
