It's now official. Yipeee!

Sorry to steal your thunder, but there's a universal guide on how to slipstream MSPs into MSIs. But what is good is that your guide is more specific to act robat, filenames etc. Btw, not msiexec /p Acro7XX.msp /a C:\Acrobat 7\AcroPro.msi /qb! but msiexec /p "<Path_to_patch>\Acro7XX.msp" /a "C:\Acrobat 7\AcroPro.msi" /qb! W/out quotes, it won't work if there are spaces in the path to AcroPro.msi. For ppl who are wondering, if you can make an admin install w/standard edition, you can slipstream patches into it.

That's right, it's better to use a multiboot menu or another boot menu if you take off the press any key message.

Registry and google are your friends. Open folder options in Windows explorer>tools>folder options>view and right at the bootom, there's a checkbox for enable or disabling simple file sharing. Hope this helped And if you want it back unattendedly, use a tool like Regmon or Regshot to find which keys are changed.

We can't unless the SPTD layer is preinstalled. I'm also looking for a way w/Daemon Tools...

You can make addon Cabs that you can integrate in nlite. Google is your friend http://google.com gosh's guides on inf and txtsetup http://gosh.msfn.org Ryanvm's site is also your friend http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1290

Ok, an easy way out. cd %systemroot%\system32\dllcache ERASE /F /Q *.* copy /Y sfc_os.dll %systemroot%\system32 copy /Y sfc_os.dll %systemroot% exit Put this in a batch and put sfc_os.dll in the same dir as the batch. Hope this helps.

Of course it won't work, look @ this: REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Office 2003" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\o2k3\PRO11.msi /qb" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "FrontPage 2003" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\o2k3\FP11.msi /qb" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Codecs" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\codecs2.6.exe /qb" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Winamp 5" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\winamp521.msi INI=%systemdrive%\install\winamp5.ini /qn" /f You've got the same number, 005. 1st, the office 2003 key gets written. Then, frontpage overwrites it. Codecs overwrite that. Winamp overwrites that leaving only Winamp installed. A more suitable one could be: cmdow @ /HID @echo off @cls SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Office 2003" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\o2k3\PRO11.msi /qb" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "FrontPage 2003" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\o2k3\FP11.msi /qb" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "Codecs" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\codecs2.6.exe /qb" /f REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "Winamp 5" /f REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\winamp521.msi INI=%systemdrive%\install\winamp5.ini /qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\555 /VE /D "Cleaning Up and Rebooting" /f REG ADD %KEY%\555 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\cleanup.cmd" /f EXIT Nothing wrong w/cleanup.cmd Hope this helped

The last one is MUCH better, Thanks!

I get what you mean, you only want Sims to install to that path for it's savegames but you don't want that to be your permanent My Documents. First, EA uses %UserProfile%\My Doucmnets and secondly, it always checks %UserProfile%\My Documents instead of where the savegame was actually installed to. The batch only uses set*=* in the batch itself, not any programs launched by it. Try Delprat's method.

All I find wrong w/your most recent one is that "Windows" is a bit close to "Vista". Great Gfx! Edit: And "January 2007" is too close to the bottom. Maybe you could move it into the middle of the taskbar?

What is the best, cheapest and resource friendly image editor? Thanks.

Use 98lite instead of nlite for win 98 se. http://litepc.com The trial is enough.

SET *=<dir> only works in a batch file, for the duration of that batch file. REG ADD "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Enviroment" /v "UserProfile" /d "F:\MyDoc" REG ADD "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Enviroment" /v "AllUsersProfile" /d "F:\MyDoc" Tis is more permanent.

Well someone needs to edit the unattended guide then

@Doctor Trout: w/the floppy disk trick, I tried it after someone posted about it here.

How-to install .net 2.0 from svcpack.inf http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/200.../06/591694.aspx Media Player 10 silent switchless compatible w/svcpack.inf http://unattended.msfn.org/files/beginner/MP10Setup.exe

@ZaForD I know but if he did, his P. Key would change.

It is quicker from a hdd because transfer speeds are faster. Look at it like this: you want to run a game, you'd be more likely to make an iso and mount it via Alcohol or Daemon Tools wouldn't you? That's because it#s faster. But it seems broken if you nlite it.

I say Dapper (6.06), the original ubuntu. Easy for me

You didn't by any chance alter setupp.ini?

Maybe like a dialog box where you can type which folder name? Thanks.

The worst I did was when I was playing a game (I think when I was 10). I shook my computer a bit and it BSOD'd

Ok, don't make something out of nothing. We are humans here not animals. (Joking ) Did the UA guide help?
