Thanks kof96. I've read Flyakite's tutorial but none of that information was there.
I realized that one solution for my problem was having two WINNT.SIF files. One running a RunOnce.CMD file that installed the needed software and other that doesn't. The thing is that i need RunOnce.CMD to be copied over to the %SystemRoot%.
Anyway can someone tell me an option on how to copy a file from i386 to %SystemRoot% without using the $OEM$ folders?
Or can someone tell me how to install software in the T-13 (or 12) minute part of the installation?
EDIT: I changed the 1st post to meet my new need

Well, Iain Stott, it's very good to hear that!
I've done the other way around and start with unattended installs first, now i'm moving to multi-boot DVD's, wish me luck too!
The best luck for you, and you'll see that unattended installs aren't that hard

Ok, here is the case:
One Multi boot DVD with not enough space to integrate Bâshrat the Sneaky's Driver Packs to all OS's.
Question:
In a multi boot DVD with several OS's, is it possible to have just one copy of all the drivers we want to integrate, but still integrate them with all the OS's?
Does Bâshrat the Sneaky's Driver Packs do that? Or is there any tool that does that?

Honestly i don't know much about Linux but I always hear that Kubuntu has a better graphical user interface that Ubuntu. Oh and it's free too, so fell free to check both sites and choose your destiny

Well, it seems i made a little mistake (due to beeing portuguese) and confused the task bar with the start menu. Anyway, if anyone knows something about costumizing the task bar (like the position on screen) let us know.

Dels, compress it using command line and "makecab" command.
For example, if the file is in C:\shell32.dll
<C:\>makecab shell32.dll
If it says something like "Flushing Folder" then it's ok and your compressed version should appear in C:\

After a little search here on MSFN it seems no one knows much about costumizing the task bar. I found some registry hacks for setting the XP look on Task Bar but nothing happens, it keeps the classic look, don't know why...
All my Theme files where made using the XP Task Bar look, so it isn't the Theme file that control the task bar behavior. If anyone could help us out, i'll be gratefull.

Hi slimzky, OK, i'm Portuguese, but i'll try to explain the best i can
All you have to do is a *.theme file that points to the OSX cursor files and put both inside you CD.
For example, imagine you have the Tiger style and the OSX Cursors (from FlyakiteOSX or other) and want to use it as the default Theme with the OSX cursors already ON.
First you have two options:
1st - Install FlyakiteOSX Cursor files or
2nd - Put your Cursor files inside your Windows folder in "Windows\Cursors\OSX" then go to Control Panel->Mouse->"pointings things" (hope you understand by the image
) choose the "pointing things" one by one (they must be 15) and click "Save As...", then apply that Scheme.Go to the desktop properties and "Save As..." the Tiger theme selecting all the options as you want it to be in your unattended CD, such as the Background image (don't forget to put the image you selected inside your unattended CD too, so that Tiger.theme points to a valid image when the install is complete), Screen-saver (same as the background image), color scheme and a few more options.
Now put your Tiger.theme and the respective Tiger folder inside your unattended CD in $OEM$\$$\Resources\Themes so they copy themselfs to Windows\Resources\Themes.
And finally edit your WINNT.SIF file inside your i386 folder of you unattended CD like this:
[Shell]
CustomDefaultThemeFile="%SystemRoot%\Resources\Themes\Tiger.theme"Hope you like this guide

Hi TeamO!
I have the same problem trying to create a ISO from a 350MB XP, so it's not because of the size...
I was hoping someone could help us both

Hi all!
If you could find out what's causing it, it could just be another visual tweak for Windows XP! Cool

Hi there!
I'm trying to troubleshoot some problems in my current instalation, some software just doesn't install, don't know why. I use SFX archives, called from RunOnce.cmd (lanched from [GuiRunOnce] in WinNt.sif), that automaticly install all the software. Th problem is i've been trying to use Logs to determine what's causing some software not to be installed. How do you do to make the CMD files log errors and sucesses?
Or maybe they just don't have time to install, could it be?
Greetings

Hi there!

Thank's in advance

Thanks Gunsmokingman, but as i sayed before, all i need to solve my problem is a simple command (that i can't seem to find... This is if it exists, i'm starting to have my doubts...) to put between SFX commands so it understands the next command is independent of the first one. If anyone know's how to extract and execute multiple files, just using a SFX archive, please share that, i'd really apreciate it.
0 -
CMD files are an option, but not the best one for me, as i would have to include many files in the windows instalation. It would be easyer to have a SFX file executing multiple EXE files within. But thanks anyway!
My question still holds on. If someone know how to make a SFX file execute multiple EXE files upon extraction, please advise

Hi all!
Could someone tell how to execute multiple files, from and SFX archive, using WinRAR?
For example: Can't find the command to make SFX run 2 files upon extraction, like:
"setup.exe /silent (something here) fix_setup.exe /silent" - where (something here) should be some command to make SFX understand that the "fix_setup.exe /silent" is refered the fix_setup.exe file and not an extension of the setup.exe command.

windows unnattended installation how speed up ?

Hi there!
First of all you really have to learn how to write properlly... Missed quite a few things in there.
It's not possible to unpack (unzip or extract) files ON the CD and then copy them to the hd, because it's impossible to write to the CD. What it is possible is to have all files unpacked previouslly on the CD, so there's no need for extraction, then the only thing that must be done is to copy the files to the hd, thus speeding up the instalation. What you really would want to know is how to do that, right? Honestly i don't know, just think that it's possible and maybe someone can help you out with that
Anyway there's the "Unattended Secret: Reducing Size Of Source" by gosh. It speeds up the instalation process as well.
