You should have just done a search on this forum http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?act=At...pe=post&id=7199

I guess you didn't search that hard, otherwise you would have found your answer The easiest way to install it is using RyanVM's switchless install and the RunOnceEx.cmd To get RyanVM's file go here http://ryanvm.msfn.org/ Then just do a Reg Add ie. cmdow @ /HID @echo off SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Adobe Reader 6" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\AdobeReader6\AR6.msi /qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "Alcohol 120" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\alcohol\setup.exe /qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 2 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\alcohol\register.reg" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "Microsoft .Net 1.1 SP1" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Netfxsp1.exe" /f

I have an IBM ThinkPad, it came with the COA, Manual but no CD. IBM, to save money, puts an image of the hard drive in a hidden partiton. Dell uses a similar practice. Here is the problem and I am sure Procyon has the same problem. Our serial numbers will not validate. To make matters worse, they don't match the numbers on the COA. What IBM did in my case was setup XP with a Corporate license, ran Sysprep before shipping and when I turn on the machine, all I entered was my Name and Company. Serial number was not even asked. So when I download these optional updates, my ThinkPad fails the Authentication process. Microsoft is well aware of these issues and all I had to do was make a call to clear it up. So I understand your fustration. But what you need to do is call Microsoft Support and get them to manually authorize your PC. Check your Windows\system32 folder for the wpa files wpa.dbl wpa.bak These are the files that activated Windows, if these are missing, then Dell is using a Corporate key.

Okay, I just searched the forums and Google and can't find any info for a patched termsrv.dll Build 2180. Can you steer me in the right direction?

Get an NEC. I have used several and they are really solid. Plextor makes a great CDRW. The are behind the 8 ball on DVD Writers. Their new writer is just a rebranded Benq 1640.

Go with the IBM X Series. I have an X24, and it is a great notebook. I find that I never need the optical drive. All it does it add to the weight and drain the battery. If you need to install anything, jack it into a network and install over a shared resource.

I agree with you, but this post was about integration. Using the Microsoft pack and SVCPack is better, because if a new version arrives, it would be easier to just replace the package Microsoft released. The downside is that the installer is 4.3 Megs. This is due to all the extra languages. So if space is a problem, you better repack the installer by removing all the unnecessary languages.

Thanks for the quick response. I should have known that. That is where I disabled my Thumbnail Cache. So I can combine it to do both. ;Disables Hide Extension for Known File Types and Disables Thumbnail Cache [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "HideFileExt"=dword:00000000 "DisableThumbnailCache"=dword:00000001 Disable your Thumbnail Cache so you don't have those annoying Thumb.db files.

110x110 will not work, u must use 180x114 also note that even it is a bitmap, you can create transparent background... but make sure it is in 256 colors for this to work <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The actual logo size can is 172x172 it can be smaller, but not bigger. See section D in this article. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;en-us;314472

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> You are out to lunch. I have been using DOS since version 2.1 There is nothing wrong with Lost Soul's syntax. He just simplified your version into one short simple command. Open a CMD Window C:\Documents and Settings\hakeem5454> md\test C:\Documents and Settings\hakeem5454> cd\test is the same as C:\Documents and Settings\hakeem5454> cd\ C:\Documents and Settings\hakeem5454> md test C:\Documents and Settings\hakeem5454> cd test The backslash (\) is used to signify root as well as a seperator for multiple directories UNIX uses the slash (/) instead of backslash so in UNIX you would need to enter cd ~ mkdir test cd /home/hakeem5454/test or you can combine the commands mkdir ~/test/ cd ~/test In UNIX, a space is required between cd or mkdir (md)

Good point, since the files are recompressed back into i386, when they are unpacked during setup, they would have been registered. I should have known that. It is getting late, I should get some sleep.

Hide Extension For Known File Types Is there any way to use a registry tweak to disable this annoying feature? So far, the only known way to do this is to launch My Computer Tools Folder Options View Hide Extension For Known File Types - Uncheck the box The only other way I can find is to run regedit and search for NeverShowExt and delete every instance.

Is Dell using a volume license key? They shouldn't be.

Looks like Shark's Method works the best. I have not tried it yet, but I did go to Windows update and updated the client to version 6. Here is my log after the update. This should clear up a lot of things about Shark's method. It appears that a few more .dll files have to be registered. So if you are using his method. Download the new files, use ModifyPE to correct the checksums, then use makecab to recompress them. Drop them into your i386 folder. The one missing file wups2.dll should be copied into $OEM$\$$\System32 as mentioned in Shark's original guide and then using Cleanup or Reboot.cmd to register the .dll Please note: I have found several other files that need to be registered, instead of just one. Good luck. =========== Logging initialized (build: 5.8.0.2469, tz: -0400) =========== Misc = Process: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe Misc = Module: C:\WINDOWS\System32\wuweb.dll Setup *********** Setup: Checking whether self-update is required *********** Setup * Inf file: C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\WebSetup\wusetup.inf Setup Update required for C:\WINDOWS\system32\cdm.dll: target version = 5.5.3790.2182, required version = 5.8.0.2469 Setup Update required for C:\WINDOWS\system32\iuengine.dll: target version = 5.4.3790.2182, required version = 5.8.0.2469 Setup Update required for C:\WINDOWS\system32\wuapi.dll: target version = 5.4.3790.2182, required version = 5.8.0.2469 Setup Update required for C:\WINDOWS\system32\wuauclt.exe: target version = 5.4.3790.2182, required version = 5.8.0.2469 Setup Update required for C:\WINDOWS\system32\wuauclt1.exe: target version = 5.4.3790.2182, required version = 5.8.0.2469 Setup Update required for C:\WINDOWS\system32\wuaucpl.cpl: target version = 5.4.3790.2182, required version = 5.8.0.2469 Setup Update required for C:\WINDOWS\system32\wuaueng.dll: target version = 5.4.3790.2182, required version = 5.8.0.2469 Setup Update required for C:\WINDOWS\system32\wuaueng1.dll: target version = 5.4.3790.2182, required version = 5.8.0.2469 Setup Update required for C:\WINDOWS\system32\wucltui.dll: target version = 5.4.3790.2182, required version = 5.8.0.2469 Setup Update required for C:\WINDOWS\system32\wups.dll: target version = 5.4.3790.2182, required version = 5.8.0.2469 Setup Update required for C:\WINDOWS\system32\wups2.dll: target version = 0.0.0.0, required version = 5.8.0.2469 This checks to see if I need an update.

I just uploaded the Termsrv.dl_ in another thread http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?act=ST...=70#entry345572

Wonder why the links don't work. Anyways, for those still looking for the older Termsrv.dll, here it is All you need to do is copy this in your i386 folder if you are creating an unattended CD. I already corrected the Checksums with ModifyPE. (Don't add the ZIP file, add the termsrv.dl_ inside the ZIP) If you want to just update your current install follow the instructions posted on the forum. Don't forget to update your registry. Termsrv.zip

Is there a reason why you have SetLocal enableextensions @Echo OFF instead of @Echo OFF SetLocal enableextensions It should make a difference, but your method will echo that first line.

First I like to say, this is an amazing site. I have been doing the hotfix installation with batch files for a long time, slipstreaming is definitely the way to go. I followed AaronXP's guide and originally I had problems. But after some investigation, I managed to get most of it to work properly (Thanks Aaron) But I still have two problems. When I go to Windows Update, Critical Updates are still listed. Reading through this post several times tells me that I am not the only one.
