Is there a way to specify the order the catagories install, instead of alphabetical?

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=70915 Point taken .

Since noone wishes to reply I take it my ideas will work then, subject closed!

Thanks, didn't think of that.

Can you set a grayed conditon if a file is missing? I want to set Alcohol 120 to gray if SPTD driver is missing!

I wish to remove the need for OEMPreInstall when using the M2 method. - I already have cmdow.exe integrated so I don't need that copied over. - I can add a %CDROM% variable to RunOnceEx to execute BTS_DPs_finish.cmd and BTS_DPs_cleanup.cmd (I already do this for WPI from CD anyway) - I can use a SFX rar to copy the .inf's via svcpack I have know idea when OEMPreInstall copies files from the $OEM$ shares on the disc, I gather it's before T-13 so will my SFX idea cause a problem? I can't see a problem running BTS_DPs_finish.cmd and BTS_DPs_cleanup.cmd from CD so long as I set the %CDROM% variable for the clean up command in BTS_DPs_finish.cmd, am I right? Before anyone asks I don't like OEMPreInstall because it causes problems when using F6 for textmode setup of mass storage drives. Yes I am using the MassStorage DP but if all else fails I'd still like F6 as an option to fall back on. This leeds me to my final question. Is the above true? For example, say windows doesn't pick up my sata controller properly during install using files from the MassStorage DP. If I then use F6 to install my drivers is this going to mess up anyway later during install? I know theres quite abit to answer but I'd appreciate the help. Cheers.

Grab oodsh.dll and oodshrs.dll from your install dir. Use WinRAR to create a self extractor with these files to extract to "OO Software\Defrag Professional" (without quotes). Then add this line to Setup "regsvr32 /s oodsh.dll" (without quotes) and set the extraction to silent and overwrite all. Then all you have to do is execute it post install. Heres my SFX comment if it helps Path=OO Software\Defrag Professional SavePath Setup=regsvr32 /s oodsh.dll Silent=1 Overwrite=1 Only draw back is if you uninstall O&O it leaves these dll's in the install dir and the shell extension. All you need to do is unregister oodsh.dll and delete it (or just use unlocker).

Thanks for that, have added to WPI.

@RogueSpear I have a request. Could you make a switchless uninstaller for SPTD please. I wish to add it to WPI for future proofing. Just in case I don't want it installed by default at a later date (T-12 install->WPI Uninstall). Thanks

Easier still, just place the image and isolinux dirs at the root of your disk. Copy the menu dir from the boot dir to yours. Run through the rest of the boot dir and check for anything extra that isn't all ready in yours. Then just script the the ubcd main menu similar to this. if $lastKey == key[F10]; then cd menus; then script main.scn This way you don't need to load the boot sector image at all. I done this with v3.3 for my last build works a treat.

@thuun derboy Your the man . Problem solved. I like some of your reg tweeks too.

I think I may have to make a post in the WPI forum and find out how they do it.

Can anyone tell me if there's a command I can add to RunOnceEx.cmd to create a new window. Abit like WPI were you can specify how many programs are displayed in a window before a new one is created. Thanks.

Remove this [Unattended] UnattendSwitch = Yes It skips the first gui and logs on as local Admin by default. Edit oobeinfo.ini if you want to mod the first gui. It can create users aswell. Don't bother to use $OEM$ folder for it (it's not very reliable) just edit the one in your i386 folder and re-cab (makecab.exe) it. Why mess about when you can go to the source! Read your ref.chm from the Windows Support folder on your disc for some extra info on oobeinfo.ini. Hope this solves your prob

Yes, it has an install bar that I think RogueSpear put in (I might be wrong I'd have to read the sub-forum again, sorry if I'm giving credit to the wrong person). You must install this at first logon though, thats why I use RunOnceEx. Your batch will work fine.

Heres my RunOnceEx entry for 5.5. REG ADD %KEY%\025 /VE /D "Sygate Personal Firewall Pro 5.5" /f REG ADD %KEY%\025 /V 1 /D "%SystemDrive%\Install\SPFP.exe /qb /REBOOT=Suppress" /f Just adjust for running from CD. Checkout these keys in your registry. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sygate Technologies, Inc.\Sygate Personal Firewall] [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Sygate Technologies, Inc.\Sygate Personal Firewall] I have no idea if this is the same for 5.6 cos I ditched it rolled back 5.5. 5.6 is buggy as hell! It's not going to be fixed either, Sygate has been bought by Symantec. What a shame.

Just beat you to it Dobby!

Download the switchless installer from RyanVM's site and add it to RunOnceEx at first logon. This is how I do it.

No it doesn't work, neither does winnt.sif entry . I supose if you want it done right do it yourself is the answer. I have a cleanup.cmd that runs after a couple of runonce installs (most of my software is installed via svcpack) I'm gonna add a command to delete all files from %systemroot%\media. Doesn't solve the problem of the reg entries but it gets rid of that bloody annoying sound scheme, and abit of wanton distruction might make me feel better .

I'm going to test this reg tonight or tomorrow I'll tell you if it works. ; Disable Windows Sounds [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\ActivatingDocument] @="" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\ActivatingDocument\.current] @="" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\ActivatingDocument\.default] @="" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\BlockedPopup] @="" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\BlockedPopup\.current] @="" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\BlockedPopup\.default] @="" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\EmptyRecycleBin] @="" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\EmptyRecycleBin\.Current] @="" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\EmptyRecycleBin\.Default] @="" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\MoveMenuItem] @="" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\MoveMenuItem\.current] @="" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\MoveMenuItem\.default] @="" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\Navigating] @="" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\Navigating\.Current] @="" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\Navigating\.Default] @="" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\SecurityBand] @="" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\SecurityBand\.current] @="" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\SecurityBand\.default] @="" I'm not using the luna theme, I import a custom version of RoyalFour via svcpack at T-13. I've had similar problems with windows sounds recuring regardless of my theme settings. I managed to disable the navigation sounds permanently with part of the above reg so I'm now going to try the lot. I'm also using this entry in my winnt.sif to stop the sounds installing. [Components] media_utopia=off It still leaves the entries in the sounds settings though which I don't like. Leaves you with a feeling of bodged install! I'll get back with my results.

Try this, ; Disable Start Menu Pop-Up on First Boot [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "StartMenuInit"=dword:00000002 "StartButtonBalloonTip"=dword:00000002 Works under vm, not tested under real conditions though. I don't know how nLite does it but when I was using it (RC5 I think) I found that if you use the classic theme on first boot the start menu wont pop-up. If you use the luna theme (default) it will regardless. The tests I've done with the above reg have been with a custom theme and the luna theme deleted before first boot so that could be why it works!

I've got the shell extension working by registering oodsh.dll after install. I'm not using nlite anymore to slim down my source so does anyone know what reg key to edit to register this app as default

^BUMP^

Gave Inno ago, but no luck. I had a major memory addressing error when launching the app. I had to use the files from Program files because I couldn't decompile the original installer. cyberloner, could you elabourate on how you made yours! I've made Inno installers for DVDXPlayer and Winimage no problem but there pretty simple. Does anyone know what the installer is for this app? Cheers

Does anyone know the silent install switches for WinAVI Video Converter 6.3. I can't find anything about it on the net. Thanks.
