I'm a bit confused... To execute runonceex the same time as cmdlines.txt, should I put "RunDll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 0 .\Setup.inf" or rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess ?

@owikh84 If you want to put it into an unattended CD, why not put the sounds in the $OEM$\$$\Media folder. Apply the reg file, go to the sounds setting on ctrl panel, select the Vista Sounds scheme. Then, right click desktop, click properties and save the theme in $OEM$\$$\Resources\Themes BTW if you use a theme or different cursors, you have to copy your whole %systemroot%\Resources\Themes into $OEM$\$$\Resources\Themes and your whole %systemroot%\Cursors into $OEM$\$$\Cursors One question, how do you set the reg file to install in HKLM instead of HKCU? Do the keys in LM and CU correspond to each other? Because then I can just change everywhere it says hklm to hkcu... <edit> sorry, just noticed that the regfile also updates hkey_users... oops.

Ah yes, the windows installer cleanup utility. I forgot about that. It probably will fix uninstalling issues. Did you know it was designed to remove office in particular? If you see the InstallShield launcher box or something to do with windows installer, the setup EXE is probably a SFX archive. Most installshield setups are. And just in case you don't know, %temp% is your temporary folder. Just click start>run>type %temp%>click OK.

To download via another PC, you'll have to go onto the manufacturers website and download the driver for your model. And if it is not just your lan card conflicting, and maybe usb ports don't work, you'll obviously have to use a CD or something. That's why I said, scrap windows update for drivers, it only has drivers for hardware in the Windows Catalog. Goto the manufacturers site and dl drivers.

You mean regsvr32 /s file.dll Thanks elajua but what are the dlls (other than phototoys.dll for image resizer) for wallpaper changer and tweak ui? <Edit> on second thoughts, I'll use the addon for tweak UI.</edit> Thanks blinkdt, but I'm not a big fan of AutoIt. Where did you get the MSI's from? Did you repackage them or download them or what. I appreciate the help elajua and blinkdt

It's probably asking again because the program uses Installshield 7 or above. Open the installer and browse to %temp%. Look for the msi file, copy all its contents to desktop\msi or something, and browse to the msi when uninstalling. Don't del the program files folder cos tons of reg keys get left behind. And if windows is asking for need for speed 4.msi I don't think you'll find it on the CD unless you've modded it! That's some problem...

It generally says what other driver or hardware it's conflicting with. Also check if there are updated drivers for that device.

It's [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RemoteComputer\NameSpace\{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D}] Note the minus sign, removes the key. And ;Disable scheduled tasks is a comment, it doesn't count for anything but info for you. Take it out, no difference.

You mean credui.dll, right? http://www.dlldump.com/download-dll-files_...0/download.html

WINDOWS.0 comes up if you multiboot on one partition. So WinXP Pro 1 uses windows and 2 uses windows.0

That happens sometimes. Dunno why.

Sorry, no time. PC problem. My friend was meant to be checking his email... not deleting ntoskrnl.exe

Hello Can someone tell me the switches for all the Microsoft powertoys? Not the installshield ones that use /S /V/qn? Or am I going to have to repackage it or use AutoIt? Thanks

Directly put a file called CMDLINES.TXT in $OEM$ and in it type: [COMMANDS] REGSVR32 xxxxxxx.DLL CMDLINES is parsed around T-12, a bit after the middle of the Gui part of setup. But $OEM$ folders have to work, so not a lot of use in multboot dvds. Hope this helped!

There's an option in nLite that you could have accidentaly ticked that hides your PC on workgroups and domains.

Shouldn't this kind of thing be stickied?

Wide guess but try using a reg cleaner.

I think the kbxxxxx.exe /Integrate:xxx switch leaves both patched and unpatched files on the CD, so it takes longer to install as Windows Setup chooses the right one. nLite overwrites the original files.

I dunno why, but I have a multiboot DVD and I've set 2k, 2k3 Server and XP to share the $OEM$ folder and it works for me... This may need to be explored further. You don't need to use cmdlines.txt. You could just put the batch in i386\svcpack and mod the svcpack.inf. Not sure if the RunOnceEx would execute on first user logon, you may need to add rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess to the end of your batch.

$oem$ doesn't work for me if I don't put UnattendedSwitch=Yes

Like said, use unlocker, I'd recommend it! @firefoxthebomb That is a standard message. If windows can identify which program is using it, then it will display it.

Most viruses try to disable antivirus. It actually depends which one you use, and it depends on how often definitions are released. Keep HDD corruption in mind though.

I'll have to test that further...

$OEM$\$$ is not in i386. It is directly in your XP source, one folder up, the same dir where WIN51 is.
