No the keyboard languages didn't install even with the spaces. I also set the skipMachineoobe to false. Nothing. Any other thoughts?

Will try thes things thanks so much, been looking at this file for too long didn't even notice the lack of spaces. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Well the pain continues it seems. My sysprep32.xml Gives a parsing error in the oobe section, Microsoft Windows-Shell-Setup. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated. sysprep32.txt

Thank you sir will do. I'll let you know.

All my Installations are being called from a network share, and all the installs work perfectly yet, how can I get rid of the security warnings for open files so the installs can go through without user intervention?. I calling a mixture of msi's and exe's if that makes a difference. I found the regkeys to turn it off but I get an error when this is in my cmd file. What could the problem be with this? REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Turning Off Open File Security Warning" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S z:\SecurityWarningsOff.reg" /f

Fixed it myself typo in the file.

@ ECHO OFF REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\RunOnceEx SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications & Settings" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Mapping Network Drive" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "NET USE Z: \\IMAC-FED22E\Installations password /USER:Robw" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "Installing FireFox 3.64" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "z:\Firefox\"Firefox Setup 3.6.4" -ms" /f REG ADD %KEY%\090 /VE /D "Installing Microsoft Office 2010" /f REG ADD %KEY%\090 /V 1 /D "z:\Office14\setup.exe /adminfile Office2010Full.MSP" /f REG ADD %KEY%\090 /V 2 /D "D "REGEDIT /S z:\Office14\Excel-Add-ins.reg" /f The office install works fine but it seems to skip over the firefox install I know the command is right because I can run it in a batch file and it works fine.

Hi I have created my msp file using the office customization tool. I have a few problems in which I am hoping someone here can shed some light on. I need to add a view adds for excel, and would like to set use recommended settings for updates. I see no where in the OCT where I can set these. Also when I click my cmd file to start my install I am still prompt with what type of install would you like box. Install Now or Cutomize. The way I have launched my unattended install is as follows. setup.exe /adminfile Office2010Full.msp The msp file is in the root of the office folder on a network share.

neither worked to turn off the auto update feature.

I'd like to create some msi. I loved wininstall le but it doesn't run under windows 7. Something similar would be nice. Any suggestions?.

Thank you. I have the offline install and the silent install works fine but I can't get the auto updating to turn off. I tried that regkey It doesn't turn it off.

What am I doing wrong? it installs silently just fine, but I need to turn of the auto update as well. jre-6u20-windows-i586-s.exe /s /v /qn ADDLOCAL=ALL IEXPLORER=1 MOZILLA=1 AUTOUPDATECHECK=0 SYSTRAY=0 REBOOT=Suppress

Thanks Cluberti, I know where the regkeys are but when I set it the way I want it and then log off and logback in and export the keys. I them log in as a new user import the keys logoff and login again as that user I just did the change under the settings don't stick. If you have a second could you try it? I believe the action center settings are located here? HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Action Center\Checks

Hi I setup the profile with all my customization I need. The action center settings are set the way I want them. After I run sysprep all the action center settings are turned back on. Even if the copyprofile=true in the xml file. Has anyone here figured out a work around?

clivebuckwheat, use the /recurse switch. Enjoy, John. Dism doesn't work with any xp based wim I already tried it with the /recurse switch.

Dism doesn't seem to work is there any other way to do this?

Thank you for all your help Myselfidem

I solved it very simply by putting the following line in the sysprep.xml <InputLocale>en-US;fr-CA;en-CA</InputLocale>

We are using Windows 7 Professional , but after sysprepping the image I lose the other two languages everything else is fine. It's a known issue with sysprep, that I am trying to find a work around.

couldn't I just add them into my sysprep.xml? For example I have en-us in there couldn't I just add the other two I need and see if it installs them do you know the codes for Canada (french) and Canada (english)?

Well that solved that it was the space the office activation I seem to have no parsing error anymore. On the system I am running the sysprep process on I have 3 languages installed 1. English(us) Default 2. English (Canada) 3. French (Canada) After Syprep is done I seem to only have English(US), I need to keep all 3 what am I doing wrong? sysprep64NOPK.txt

Hello <AutoLogon> <Enabled>true</Enabled> <LogonCount>5</LogonCount> <Username>Administrator</Username> <Password> <Value>xxxxxx</Value> <PlainText>false</PlainText> </Password> </AutoLogon> <UserAccounts> <LocalAccounts> <LocalAccount wcm:action="add"> <Password> <PlainText>false</PlainText> <Value>xxxxxx</Value> </Password> <Group>Administrators</Group> <DisplayName>myselfidem</DisplayName> <Name>myselfidem</Name> </LocalAccount> </LocalAccounts> </UserAccounts> I still seem to be have problem with my sysprep.xml file for my 64 bit builds. It gives a parsing error on the specialize pass of the Windows shell setup section. I went through it with a fine tooth comb and don't see the problem can an expert here take a look and tell me where I went wrong? sysprep64NOKEYS.xml

Hi I have setup up a virtual machine of Windows 7 just the way I like it, with a few specific applications we use in our organization. How can I backup this Virtual machine to a wim file?, ultimately this wim file is going to booted from a pxe server on a bare metal machine with no hdd. But first I have to back it up and have no idea how to.

Does bashrat have windows 7 drivers or is the Vista ones sufficed?

so if I take the bashrat's driver packs for Windows 7 and extract them to C:\Windows\inf, and run sysprep and make an image with my imaging software and then deploy it to different hardware it should run the sysprep process on next reboot and install the drivers if they are there. Is this correct? ps: I have already generated a sysprep.xml file and placed it in c:\windows\system32\sysprep
