Hello,

If i were you i will throw out Realone and QT and install realalternative and quicktime altrnative instead.

Both are freeware and silently installable.

[Q867801 unattended Problem]

Hello there,

I'm using the good old batch way to install my hotfixes for XPSP1, here is my batch:

echo Applying SP2 hotfixes...
for %%i in (%systemdrive%\install\hotfixes\1\*.exe) do start /wait %%i /u /o /z /n
for %%i in (%systemdrive%\install\hotfixes\2\*.exe) do start /wait %%i /q:a /r:n

All but the Q867801 (Cumulative for IE SP1) are correctly installed. So the question is, what am i doing wrong with this one?

I putted it in my type 2 Hotfixes folder, but when i run WU after my unattended installation, it tell me i still need this hotfix.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

[HOW TO: Install Daemon Tools Optimized]

Hello and thanks for this nice tip.

I followed all the steps you mentioned and got my daemontools.msi from dt346.exe and daemonscripts.msi.

As i wasn't interested by the Makeiso option, i made the following daemontools.inf:

[Version]
Signature=$CHICAGO$

[DefaultInstall]
AddReg = Mount
DelReg = Daemon

[Mount]
HKCR,".ISO",,,"ISO_Image"
HKCR,".CUE",,,"ISO_Image"
HKCR,".CCD",,,"ISO_Image"
HKCR,".BIN",,,"ISO_Image"
HKCR,"ISO_Image\Shell\Mount\Command",,,%16422%\D-Tools\"daemon.exe -mount 0,%1

[Daemon]
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run","DAEMON Tools-1033"

[Strings]
here = """%1"""

I copied the code you've given into a txt file and renamed this txt file: DaemonDriveInstall.DaemonScript

Version|1.5.3|2|
DeviceCount|1|

Finally i made the following batch for tetsting purpose: test.bat

start /wait c:\download\DaemonTools.msi /qn
start /wait c:\download\Daemonscript.msi /qn
start /wait c:\download\DaemonDriveInstall.DaemonScript
rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 c:\download\DaemonTools.inf

I moved Daemontools.msi, Daemonscript.msi, Daemondriveinstall.daemonscript, daemmontools.inf and test.bat under my c:\download folder.

When i started my batch, the installation of daemonttools.msi was done correctly. But when it came to the daemonscripts.msi i get a message saying the installation couldn't finish because my PC was shutting down...and it defiinitly was: in the next second i experienced a fast reboot.

After this reboot, Daemontools is corerctly installed (but require a new reboot) but that's it: the daemontools tray icon is running, no mountiso is available when right ccking an *.iso files and so on...

Well, i don't know where the is the problem, but there is definitly something preventing me from using the *.inf file . Any help would be greatly appreciated

EDIT:Installing the daemontools.inf with a right click work perfectly. Would that mean i made the same error than Cagliostro and forgetting the"." after "rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128" ?

But in my case, i mentioned the complete path to my files in my batch (what Cagliostro haven't done). Does that mean this "." should also be added when using the %systemdrive% ?

[XPSP1/SP2 on the same DVD?]

There is a tool developed here (on mSFN) to make runonceEX easier.

YEs, i've seen a link to that tool under Aaron Guide, thanks to mention it however .

I'm currently working on it

Yes, CDimage doesn't have a GUI boot-maker, and needs a command-line switch to operate to make optimised CDs. Its a tool leaked from MSDN.

I'm using this command line, thanks to Gosh, but i'm not sure it contains the optimisation switch, even if the "/o" switch look like it.

cdimage.exe -lXPSP1 -t08/23/2001,09:00:00 -bc:\install\loader.bin -h -n -m -o c:\install c:\xpsp1.iso

Btw, this is the command i used for my XPSP1 CD, do i need to modify something for my SP1/SP2 DVD?

[XPSP1/SP2 on the same DVD?]

Oh god Alan...now i feel like i have to go from the "good old" Guirunonce to this "fancy" runonce...and convert all my batch in the process

Oh well, look like it's the best way to go anyway....

As for the optimize...well, as long as CDIMAGE optimize by itself, that will be good

Btw, on a completly different subject, wouldn't you have a clue on how disabling the hardware/Software DEP of XPSP2 while the unattended process? Or does disabling the security center will do the job (i doubt it)?

Thanks again for your kindness

[XPSP1/SP2 on the same DVD?]

Thanks both of you those answer.

Frankly, i don't have a clue what of what you mean by optimize the CD

Indeed, i don't care much about disk space, since even with duplicates files, i still have plenty of space on my DVD. However the %CDROM% seems a good workaround to have a best looking layout

But from what i know, the CDROM drive letter change for each computer: i guess i will need to do some search about that to have this variable working fine.

Thanks Alan, i now applied the Gosh method to my SP2, that alone already reduce the wasted disk space by a great amount.

I'm about to build the first image of my DVD and test it with VirtualPC: i'm crossing fingers all willl go well

[XPSP1/SP2 on the same DVD?]

Hello there,

Last year, following the Gosh method, and carefully reading a lot of excellents articles here, i managed to create a bootable XPSP1 CD with basically 3 options:

1 regular install

2 unattended + Pre SP2 hotfixes

3 OEM preinstall

Here is my CD layout:

\$OEM$\...

\I386\ -> Created with Gosh method from XPSP1 ROllup1

\VOL1\ -> Regular install

\VOL2\ -> Unattended install+hotfixes

\VOL3\ -> OEM preinstall (+hotfixes)

I used the CMDLINE only to create an user account. The unattended and OEM job were made by calling 2 differents batch files from winnt.sif under the [GUIRUNONCE] section. As you can see, nothing very complicated.

Now, with the SP2 coming out, i'd like to add 3 more options to my CD (and make it a DVD in the process). I would like to keep the 3 former install options (SP1 regular, SP1 unattended, SP1 OEM preinstall) and add SP2 regular/Unattended/OEM .

Here is the DVD layout i'm working on:

\VOL1\ -> SP1 Regular install

\VOL2\ -> SP1 Unattended install+Hotfixes

\VOL3\ -> SP1 OEM preinstall (+hotfixes)

\VOL4\ -> SP2 Regular install

\VOL5\ -> SP2 Unattended install

\VOL6\ -> SP2 OEM preinstall

\XPSP1\

....\$OEM$\...

.....\I386\ -> Created with Gosh method from XPSP1 Rollup1

\XPSP2\

.....\$OEM$\...

...... \I386\

Now that, i hope, you see the big figure, it's time to ask some question

1°) Into the XPSP2 folder i copied the full content of my WInXP SP2 CD because i didn't know if i could use Gosh method with SP2. is it the way to go, or do you think i could use Gosh method here also?

2°) If i have well understood what i've read so far the I386 and $OEM$ folders must be parallel. That's why i've got 2 $OEM$ folders (one for XPSP1, another for XPSP2). But it's obvious than the content of those 2 folders is almost the same (except that i'm not applying any pre SP3 hotfixes in XPSP2 when i'm applying all the critical hotfixes for XPSP1).

Is there a way to avoid having duplicate datas in those 2 folders? (ie, i'm doing an unattended install of Office2003 for both SP1 and SP2, does that mean i need to have twice the datas under those 2 $OEM$ directories?)

I'm almost sure i'm doing something really wrong with those 2 $OEM$ folders, but i can't see the workaround. In fact, i'm convinced there should be only one $OEM$ folder...but i can't see where to place it if i have to respect the paralelism with the I386 folder.

3°) Since i had kept all the data from my first SP1 multiboot CD, i just have edited the txtsetup.sif under VOL1/VOL2/VOL3 folders to modify the setup source path:

SetupSourcePath = "\XPSP1\"

Of course i did the same for VOL4/VOL/5/VOL6 :

SetupSourcePath = "\XPSP2\"

Should i made any other change, or should it work well ?

Well, any tip and advice would be very welcomed

TIA

[Hotfixes For Windows XP Professional SP1]

After reviewing all of the drivers I was slipstreaming, I decided it was safe to use /O (for overwrite OEM files without prompting). This cut down the deployment time for each patch from as many as 90+ seconds to under 20 seconds in most cases. I do not recommend this for all users, but if you're looking to speed things along, I reduced my patching time from 15 minutes to about 3. I suspect this will significantly reduce that dreaded wait at 13 minutes remaining in a fully patch-slipstreamed install.

Very nice switch Baliktad, i'm gonna try it now.

Could you tell me if this code is correct ?

echo Applying SP2 hotfixes...

for %%i in (%systemdrive%\install\hotfixes\1\*.exe) do start /wait %%i /U  /Z /N /O

don't have any idea where ppl find such interesting anti-virus programs

is it any good?( they don't have any info on their website about silent setup)

I fit with AVP3.5 for a long time ago now: light and covenient

[The Official Switches Thread Only]

Anyone would know how i can install ZoneAlarm pro unattented ?

TIA

EDIT: Well, indeed i can install it silently with /s and then PSkill the registration wizard.

But i can't find how i can register it silently after that.

[The Official Switches Thread Only]

I just have followed your instruction for MSN messenger, Aaron, and /qb result on a silly popup (click OK to install).

I'm gonna try with /qn.

[Hotfixes For Windows XP Professional SP1]

Will slipstreaming the Update Rollup 1 (KB826939) into Windows XP SP1 alleviate the need to install any of the hotfixes mentioned in the main list?

Well, of course yes

@Capdilly

I love your ugly install CMD

I would have a stupid question about the registration process: ie, in your script, you install PowerDVD and Nero: both require registration. I can't figure how i could "pre-create" the regfile from a serial number ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Hotfixes For Windows XP Professional SP1]

Hi there,

First i'd like to thank you all fot the great job you're doing here.

I'm gonna try to create my first unattended XPcd....and next time i'll take time to rad the whole forum before asking something

[Unattended Xpcd Setup Script]

Hi there,

First i'd like to thank Dave for his Script: i'm gonna create my first unattended XPcd, and it's obvious that this script is like a "god's gift" for me.

I already have a custom XP pro SP1 CD, and i wonder if the options you just added to your script would allow me to bypass the slipstreaming SP1 step of the original script ?

I guess yes, but who knows

TIA

PS: please forgive my bad english
