REGEDIT.EXE by default is not hidden or marked as a protected os file. And in my XP Home SP2, regedit is in WINDOWS folder, not sys32, so try looking there first.

I upgraded my video card driver and I upgraded resolution from 1280x1024 to 1600x1200. So if there's a major update in the new driver release, I say get it!

OK we all learn from our mistakes

How do you add bold text to a code? Just wondering?

Yes, it is cmd. The easier way: under REG ADD %KEY%\059 /V 1 /D "%PP%\ZAP\ZAP.exe /s /i /noreboot" /f put REG ADD %KEY%\059 /V 2 /D "copy %PP%\ZAP\zllictbl.dat %systemroot%\system32" /f If the serial is in zllictbl.dat, and that's why you are copying it, then you can use this switch for ZAP.EXE instead: REG ADD %KEY%\059 /V 1 /D "%PP%\ZAP\ZAP.exe /s /i /lickey whatever_your_serial_is_without_dashes /noreboot" /f e.g. /lickey 475y3t78hrg78gr98w7y4w4bwiny5bw78785w7 Hope this helped

Afraid cmdlines.txt has to be called cmdlines.txt unless you hex edit some files. I don't know which. So I'm afraid cmdlines.txt cannot be called fluffypinkdragons.txt

No it wouldn't work. Well there is a way but I'm keeping my mouth shut. To unattend a repair disk, you can't. You can make a batch file on another cd with all apps, tweaks, service packs hotfixes etc installed unattendedly. Some repair disks are in the standard windows format (ie dirs SUPPORT, VALUEADD, I386 or AMD64 exist) and you should be able to customize them.

Er... try typing regedit.exe because when you type regedit, it's this "regedit.com" application appearing. If it works, delete regedit.com from your windows or system32 folder (I think it varies) and you should be able to access regedit.exe just by typing regedit.

A cab file with hotfixes? You don't need to! Just use the direct hotfix integration. It will save more space than compressing them as files in your source will be directly overwritten. All over, direct integration takes less space than any other method (except maybe slipstreaming a service pack). Hang on. Are you saying that you are simply cabbing the hotfixes and integrating them? It's a lot more complicated than that! http://ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1290

I say that windows update drivers are lower versions. For my thrustmaster dual power 3 gamepad, windows update had a driver 2 versions less than guillemoot's (makers of thrustmaster) website. Always use the manufacturer's drivers if you can.

If you are not using beta 2, then the installer will overwrite. I got to keep my 2k3 and 2k7beta.

There's another post about this. Every few minutes, a balloon tip pops up saying "thank you for purchasing windows" and the wga site opens. Is this happening with anyone else? It's a **** piece of software, comes in the way of my gaming.

I've got legit windows and it came up on windows update. It pops up balloon tips every few minutes saying "thank you for purchasing windows" message and it opens IE to the windows genuine advantage site.

Look at it like this smashly. %PP%\AVG Anti Virus Program\autoavgsetup.exe would execute fine. "%PP%\AVG Anti Virus Program\autoavgsetup.exe" would also execute fine from RunOnceEx. Difference between two is quote marks. I meant that is isn't necessary have a second set of quotes, unless the path has spaces AND it uses switches. The path does have spaces but doesn't have switches so you don't need a second set of quotes. I second that, it's so much easier without.

I meant because when you autoit an installation, it's not as good as switches because you can still see the UI. And also, only Image resizer seems to leave an msi in %temp%. @oioldman I don't mind switches, it's just that only Image Resizer supports switches. @elajua Thanks, you gave me an idea about exe and dll files. I just copied the program files folder of wallpaper changer into $OEM$\$PROGS because the only thing in the registry for wallpaper changer is uninstall info. Thanks all!

I second that! I do have a question. I'm new to driverpacks. The QuickStream cache; where is the cache dir? I don't really understand it. Sorry for obvious question but I want to know everything before I start modding stuff, like my windows source.

If you can get your hands on a Windows 98 Emergency Startup Disk ( http://bootdisk.com/ ) then try fdisk to remove the entire partition. I third that.

LOL sorry X-Centric. I lost you where you said "If I was the script" @Yzöwl look carefully. The avg setup is a switchless installer, so there aren't any switches. This means that you only have to use one set of quotes. But if it were agvsetup.exe /S or something, then you would have to use extra quotes.

And you have to change your cmdlines.txt

Yep. The latest version of wga sux.

You can say that again! And for all ppl dumb enough to use pirate windows, they're not that happy either!

Actually, because %PP% is %CDROM%\Software, you would HAVE to put the backward slash after %PP%. Yzöwl's right, though I would edge away from extra quote marks if I can. You did %PP%\Software, but the whole point of %PP% was so you wouldn't have to put the \Software in X-centric, I think you're wrong. It shouldn't be %PPsoftware\Software\* but just %PP%\

Seriously, this is the kind of tool I've been looking for for 5 months!

Following on from JoeMSFN's point, like I said, open the exe as a SFX archive and see if anything comes up.
