  1. This was the command to insert the language pack into the wim file


    Dism /image:%systemdrive%\work /add-package /LogPath:AddPackage.log /packagepath:win7_x86_en.cab

    This is the info of the index I was trying to install with Winntsetup ...

    I also have the lang.ini in the sources folder, but I dont believe Winntsetup cares for it.

    I cant test it another time atm or see the exact details of the crash... but if I had to guess I would say its because I didnt use an english image and added the portuguese language, but did the other way around and somehow that messes up something when trying to apply that image instead of installing it.

    -edit-

    Since I couldnt try again, i've made some digging and found this:

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd799255%28WS.10%29.aspx

    Important

    You can use the default image file (Install.wim) included with the Windows product DVD only with Windows Setup (Setup.exe). Do not deploy this default image directly using ImageX.

    That could explain it =)

  2. I just tested the ThinPC installation and it was successful.

    One more issue, when installing windows7, from what I understand the program applies the selected image to the disk right? I tested with one that had applied a different language (and installs fine when running from the setup) and it doesnt work using WinNTSetup, it crashes after the first reboot (when installing devices)

  3. When I install Windows XP, I want to sometimes use the customers key instead of loading my own unattended file...yeah I know I could just edit the unattended file before loading it, but anyway more features cant hurt.

    Is there anyway to add the features mentioned in this program? http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=12201

    And which features of a program that hasn't even been posted about in five years do you think are important to add to this one that is constantly being updated and talked about?

    Cheers and Regards

    Like I said, the option to load a settings file, that basically are the settings from the unattended and present it in a GUI so the user can change some options on the fly instead of editing and saving template files.

  4. Nice tool, congratulations.

    Are you still developing it? I would add a save/load button for ease of use.

  5. Hello all,

    First and foremost, this will sound you weird, believe me, if i was in your place i would think the same, but try to read it with an open mind.

    I work for an IT shop, and give support for customers with their computers, i have this situation in one that is costing me some years of life, i will try to explain the best I can.

    The customer had a computer, he called me saying that some user data was gone (excel, word and some pics), I went and took a look there, but couldnt find anything suspiscious, with various diagnostic tools like procexp, autoruns and like that. The computer had avast installed and updated, but since i couldnt find what was causing it, i assumed it was somekind of virus or rootkit and installed the computer again with Windows XP (after being formatted) and installed mcafee, but this time the customer was working as a limited user, and I turned on the audit when deleting files in the folder the customer usually worked.

    Some months later he calls me again and the problem was back, same situation, some user data was gone, no program files affected as far as I could tell. The files were deleted in all the folders the customer worked, and even in some pens that he used to do backups. The thing is that now i would know what was causing it because i had the logs right? wrong...the files were being deleted but no process was showing up in the log, heres the log of one of it

    As a way to try to solve things, I would think that it was related to hardware, so a new computer was put there, with Windows Vista and called it a problem solved. But as you would guess the problem occured again, some months after with the exact same behavior, user data being deleted, but now as I have instructed, the backups are safe, because the costumer only plugs in the pen when doing backups and then plugs out, leaving the files safe. There are 2 computers in the network, the other one has Windows Vista too and nothing ever occured to that one.

    The costumer now noticed a new behaviour, the "My Computer" icon disappears from the desktop some time before the problem occurs.

    Does this tale rings a bell in any of you? Because nothing to me makes sense in this problem, logic tells me it must be software related, but what? The costumer tells me it installs nothing suspicious, there was even a time he was working as limited user and the thing occured still.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated...Thanks

  6. I'm loving this program but i have a small question to make...is it possible to launch this app from a network share? I always get an error relating to permissions (from the .NET assistant, not the share itself). It doesnt matter if its in the UNC format or mapped...can't seem to run either way.

    Thx for the program, btw, im making some more lists in other language when im done ill give you a call, been busy with work :$ ... keep up the good work

  7. Did anyone have any issues with mmc3 and this release of xpize? i see that no longer appears to hang but after a couple of reboots i had this message popping out while running mmc.

    Note, that at first reboot everything worked fine, but after a couple this appears. reinstalling mmc works and every resource is patched but we enter in the loop again.

    My machine could be the problem because i almost killed the OS but just checking :D

    Congratz for the good work on Xpize
