I couldn't help but to notice this line: <Path>cmd /c REGEDIT /S %AppsRoot%\Install\SAVVISTA\NoScan.rag</Path> NoScan.rag? Anyway...add another /RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action as such: <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Order>1000</Order> <Path>%WINDIR%\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /quiet /oobe /reboot</Path> <Description>Preparation</Description> </RunSynchronousCommand> Where <Order>1000</Order> should make it the LAST RunSynchronousCommand in AuditUser pass.

Have you tried DVD:\sources\$OEM$\$$\setup\scripts\SetupComplete.cmd? http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsVista...3.mspx?mfr=true

@CEoCEo: I'm glad C716FE146=0 and such worked for someone.

@Sonic I ran 7960 install to first dialog box then did a search for *.msi. It's usually in the Users\[currentusername]\AppData\Local\Temp\NER?????.TMP I have full 7960 (trial version, serial unlocks full) from nero.com as opposed to upgrade version. No missing cabs or such. Oh...and don't forget to delete NeroBar.exe NeroBar.txt and Toolbar.exe!

For those of you interested in excluding components via MSI command line: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...6208&st=140

Hello all, I've read every post on this topic and gathered quite a few tidbits on my hunt for good command lines. Here is what works for me...for those of you that are interested. Especially if you're looking to exclude components via command line C2FF8B816=Nero Home CBCAFF604=Burning ROM C57D52359=Nero Vision CCB9D5429=Backitup C7CE8D626=Cover Designer CFA3A3F7B=Wave Editor C716FE146=SoundTRAX CD773A6E2=ShowTime C53BEFA20=MediaHome C6035F00C=Recode CED1EAF52=Photosnap C72CC518F=BurningRights CE38B9E06=ImageDrive C82602EE0=CDDVDSPEED C7DFFCC12=DriveSpeed CE72D824A=InfoTool C5AD292D8=Burn C79061EB3=Media Streaming C91F9B069=Mobile I don't like nero home or backitup or media home or streaming so.............. nero.msi /QB /NORESTART STARTPARAM="CallFromExe" DONOTRUNSETUPX="1" SERIALNUM_USERVAL="xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx" AGREETOLICENSE="TRUE" C2FF8B816="0" CCB9D5429="0" C53BEFA20="0" C79061EB3="0" I don't actually use /norestart, serialnum_userval nor agreetolicense since I edit msi via orca. However I have tried editing the CXXXXXXXX in orca, but it never 'takes'. It only works via command line. I have also edited msi (through orca) in the Properties tab: SetupType=Custom AGREETOLICENSE=Yes SERIALNUM_USERVAL="XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" EULA_AGREEMENT=1 RebootYesNo=No EDIT: MSI command executed from with built-in Administrator account!!!!

QUESTION: Are you running 7.9.6.0 msi or exe?

Has anyone else seen this? I have quite a few saved contacts and after using vlite, .contact extension has lost it's association. Using Vista ULTIMATE ; vLite preset file [Information] Version = 1.0 beta on 2.0.50727.312 Microsoft Windows NT 6.0.6000.0 Target = Windows Vista ULTIMATE 32bit 6.0.6000.16386 [Components] Compatibility1 = 1 ;# Accessories # Accessibility Mobility Center Paint Welcome Center Wordpad ;# Drivers # Modems ;# Hardware Support # Smartcards ;# Languages # Japanese Korean Simplified Chinese Traditional Chinese ;# Multimedia # Screensavers SideShow Sound Recorder Windows Media Samples ;# Network # Windows Mail ;# System # Disk Defragmenter Tablet PC Windows Backup [Options] Hibernation = Off Show extensions for known file types = Yes [Protection] [Drivers] [Unattended] AcceptEULA SkipNewUser SkipProductKey SkipAutoActivation NetworkLoc = 1 ProtectPC = 3

Has anyone suggested: Restore previous folder windows at logon Snap-To mouse tweak

I had the exact same problem, but wouldn't you know it...each time I burned to media I forgot to hit the APPLY button. Boo on me

I was just about to edit my message...! ha awesome reply. Anyhow, my edit was to reiterate (and add) that all I checked (to remove!) was not only Welcome Center, but also Screensavers. -[] Multimedia | --- [checkmark] Screensavers [] System | --- [checkmark] Welcome Center CHECKED. Two items. Have not tried .8 yet.

Well, first off...I'm looking forward to testing DOT8, However...I've had the same problem as described on this thread and I do need the remote settings. This is WITHOUT removing anything. All I have done was disable welcome center on Ultimate so...I suppose...this needs to be investigated further. Will try 8 toward the weekend and advise. With Vista being so new, I dare not remove anything but the most annoying feature of a fresh install....Welcome Center.

To answer your second question, you can use all sorts of tools change the recorded TV format of dvr-ms. Among them are Nero, Sonic Encoders (Primetime is the best) and my favorite: VideoReDo, which cuts out the commercials automatically.

hmm...you should make sure these entries appear in registry: FIXWMV.REG Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.wma] "PercievedType"="audio"

I've had nothing but heartache with OEMs. I finally bit the bullet and bought a fresh MCE.

I'm gonna hazard a guess here... Try reseating your memory, as I've had this exact problem and I tracked it to the memory modules. I'm running DDR2 in dual channel mode, so what I did was take both modules out and switched them up then made sure they were seated securely. Another thing is to check BIOS settings. Make sure shadow ram and all that stuff is shut off. And lastly, make sure you're not overclocking (for now).

We can all help test, no?

@ oioldman The reason some of us are using 81.95 is because the newer drivers are not compatible with some XP setups. Namely Media Center. It's an ugly mess! Though I'm using 81.98. Seems to work...

Hey Bashrat... I'm wondering if we can still manipulate textmode in case there are drivers that don't get along with others. I noticed two radio buttons for mass drivers. Just checking You can expect something from me also. BTW

YAAY!! Mass Storage Text Mode. If it's what I think it is... (Nuts to you JAHCI) Fantastic work!

<clear throat> Any tips on auto logon for special occasions? Maybe a small batch or something to write a reg entry or whatnot... of course bios will be on wake up, but I wonder if this is possible if the pc is given a command, wake from bios, autologon and revert to no autologon. Anyone?

Is this during install or after?

Hey all.... about running installs from both guirunonce and runonce. It's never a good idea. They both do the same exact thing, but at the same time. So it's possible to office (for example) installing from runonce, Nero 7 from guirunonce and they're both going at it at once. It really depends on the system though. I've had several issues with this. Thing to do is pick one or the other and if worse comes to worst have less intensive (and time consuming) apps run from one and the huge ones from another. Or, as oioldman does use runonceex for t-13. Then again, t-13 is good mostly for reg entries. @owikh84 runonceex.cmd CMDOW @ /HID @ECHO OFF FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\found.txt SET CDROM=%%i: ;Set key, because my fingers hurt;( SET KEYSTP=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx ;Set setup dialog title REG ADD %KEYSTP% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f REG ADD %KEYSTP% /V FLAG /D 0x00000004 /f ;DotNet2 REG ADD %KEYSTP%\050 /VE /D "DotNet 2.0" /f REG ADD %KEYSTP%\050 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\SOFTWARE\DOTNET\NETFX2.EXE" /f ;WMP 11.

There you will find the files mentioned above.

You're gonna need cabtool. Since it's only an INF, that's all you'll need. I'm not sure if that specific tool also modifyPEs (pechecksum - which you can also download in that same link above). Make sure the original is name correctly. In other words NLITE.INF >> NLITE.IN_ and NOT NLITETEST.INF >> NLITETEST.IN_ >> rename to NLITETEST.IN_ I tell you this because I spent 3 hours trying to find out how I f'd up!

Hmm... In that case I demand restitution (payment) for all those DVDs burned (then burnt) and wasted trying to figure out the fundamentals of unattended installs - for the sleepless nights and trying to explain the five oclock shadow at 4am to the creature that is my wife. That'll amount to appx $32.48 (U.S) or 2 packs of 50 DVDs each. I've never given any thought to Win installs til about 8 months ago when my floppy drive stroked and F6 became a thing of fantasy, but look at me now...hacking away and typing up .infs at 4am butt a** nekid chompin cheetos. I owe it all to you Bashrat. And thank you too RyanVM and everyone else in these forums. Oh and tcsenter...good luck with the learning and all. These packs were never meant to be unleashed upon Windows directory. There is some preperation involved both before and after slipstreaming. Maybe you'll get an answer to what's really going on with your install from Microsoft OEM/OPK in 80 hours or so. Not all of us sport such fantastic learning curves, but in the end you're gonna need some tips yourself. Please feel free to leave a post. AFTER the 80 hours of course.
