nice util. 3 suggestions... Could you add all fields? Some are left out and could be used. Good with servername perhaps to diagnose server rename issues as well. objOutputFile.WriteLine "Number: " & num objOutputFile.WriteLine "Caption: " & objItem.Caption objOutputFile.WriteLine "CSName: " & objItem.CSName objOutputFile.WriteLine "Description: " & objItem.Description objOutputFile.WriteLine "FixComments: " & objItem.FixComments objOutputFile.WriteLine "HotFixID: " & objItem.HotFixID objOutputFile.WriteLine "InstalledBy: " & objItem.InstalledBy objOutputFile.WriteLine "InstalledOn: " & objItem.InstalledOn objOutputFile.WriteLine "Name: " & objItem.Name objOutputFile.WriteLine "ServicePackInEffect: " & objItem.ServicePackInEffect objOutputFile.WriteLine "Status: " & objItem.Status Could you add numbers for each hotfix as well? Helps when comparing 2 lists. Could you write Windows 2003 x64 instead of XP x64 when running on Windows 2003 x64?

Perhaps useful to someone. I don't know if it is my boot priority list or other bios settings which makes this strange behaviour: Yesterday when I booted up a Windows 2003 CD with the USB-memory in the usb-port at boot time, it didn't show up as drive to install it to, but when I booted up the Windows 2003 CD without the USB-memory in the usb-port, but put it in after the Windows 2003 setup begun, it showed up as a drive to install Windows to.

Since it is english Windows, use English hotfixes. Sometimes there are MUI-fixes as well, but I think those are not so frequent.

Thanks for a very nice tool I have some suggestions, which I usually change in my installations: 1. Registry setting: FilterFilesWithUnknownExtensions If set to 1 instead of default 0, you can search for contents in all files, not only registrered .txt-files. FilterFilesWithUnknownExtensions DWORD value to 1 in the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ContentIndex See this page for the details (Method 2): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309173/en-us 2. Command Prompt Properties: Be able to change: Windows Size (width and height) and be able to change screen buffer size (height) Quick Edit mode checked 3. DTC (registry): Allow Network DTC TurnOffRPCSecurity RPC port range See these pages for details on the settings: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....0676ec97786.asp http://support.microsoft.com/kb/154596/en-us Thx

How is PeerGuardian(2) performing compared to this list? I guess PeerGuardian blocks all traffic just like hosts blocking and not only IE, but how is it performing?

Is there no way to just patch the old 10.0.1.1000 with 10.0.1.1007 without getting folders which you have to compress into a SFX archive yourself. I'd prefer to only have the .msi or the other files updated. Perhaps that is not possible because everything is in the .cab-file which isn't MSI?

After integrating the latest list with nLite and trying it out in Virtual PC, Windows Update found these two missing: WindowsXP-KB887472-x86-enu.exe Windows-KB890830-V1.10-ENU.exe The first one should be able to integrate. I guess the other one (Malicious software removal) is to be run after the install is done?

Thanks. It seems it uses some other .iss file. Perhaps the other previous did a CD to some other directory with a .iss file or created one in the windows folder which it uses instead. I have attached the -f1 parameter as well, which should solve it... Another go with my vmWARE install... REG ADD %KEY%\040 /VE /D "Adobe InDesign CS" /f REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Apps\Adobe\InDesign\Setup.exe -s -f1%CDROM%\Apps\Adobe\InDesign\Setup.iss -f2%systemdrive%\AdobeInDesignCSSetup.log" /f REG ADD %KEY%\042 /VE /D "Adobe Illustrator CS" /f REG ADD %KEY%\042 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Apps\Adobe\Illustrator\Setup.exe -s -f1%CDROM%\Apps\Adobe\Illustrator\Setup.iss -f2%systemdrive%\AdobeIllustratorCSSetup.log" /f

The -f2 switch solved my problem when installing from DVD for Acrobat 6, Photoshop CS and InDesign CS, but I it didn't do it for Illustrator CS I get this in my logfile: [InstallShield Silent] Version=v7.00 File=Log File [ResponseResult] ResultCode=-3 [Application] Name=Adobe Illustrator CS Version=11 Company=Adobe Lang=0009 Any ideas? I installed them the same way to get the .iss file generated and copied that file into the folder of each program and this is what I use: REG ADD %KEY%\032 /VE /D "Adobe Acrobat Pro 6.02" /f REG ADD %KEY%\032 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Apps\Adobe\Acrobat\AcroPro.msi /QR" /f REG ADD %KEY%\032 /V 2 /D "%CDROM%\Apps\Adobe\Acrobat\updates\Ac60PrP1.msp /qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\032 /V 3 /D "\"%CDROM%\Apps\Adobe\Acrobat\updates\Adobe Acrobat - Reader 6.0.2 Update.msi\" /qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\032 /V 4 /D "REGEDIT /S %CDROM%\Apps\Adobe\Acrobat\AcroPro6.reg" /f REG ADD %KEY%\036 /VE /D "Adobe Photoshop CS" /f REG ADD %KEY%\036 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Apps\Adobe\Photoshop\Setup.exe -s -f2%systemdrive%\AdobePhotoshopCSSetup.log" /f REG ADD %KEY%\040 /VE /D "Adobe InDesign CS" /f REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Apps\Adobe\InDesign\Setup.exe -s -f2%systemdrive%\AdobeInDesignCSSetup.log" /f REG ADD %KEY%\044 /VE /D "Adobe Illustrator CS" /f REG ADD %KEY%\044 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Apps\Adobe\Illustrator\Setup.exe -s -f2%systemdrive%\AdobeIllustratorCSSetup.log" /f

This is usually because you have a bad shortcut in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run or HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run which is not found. Try all the shortcuts in there and see if any of them is bad, e.g. paste the path in Explorer and remove the filename to see if you end up in an existing folder. Also check your Startup/Autostart folder or whatever it is called in german windows. Else do as the professionals, always run english version of Windows. If you don't understand the english GUI then you can always put in a german MUI on the english install.

When I run it with Setup.exe /S /v/qb it says that which I am doing. Seems to me that someone did a bad job at Symantec If I run Setup.exe /? it says to run silently use /S /v/qn which does not work Both Symantec Norton Ghost 9 and Symantec Partition Magic 8.0.5 have the same behaviour.

Any switched that work? How can you get the serial registered too?

Anyone managed to get it registered as well?

It would be nice if the SAV9 installation guides and all these tips and tricks could be summed up on this page: http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/applications/sav.htm
