@X-factor Edit your post @Tomcat76 Really good guide, we all needed this!

Thanks Sangi, it does make a difference, I forgot.

When I open IE7b2, it works for about 5 seconds before Doctor Watson (debugger) opens. I uninstalled it but now I can't use IE6! No posts for Firefox and IEtab cos Ietab is really slow and for me, problematic. I can't use 3rd party IE engine browsers like Maxthon either. Help plz!

Well what installer does it use?Windows installer, installshield, Wise..

Quick reference: Assume your office 2003 is in %systemdrive%\install\office2003 Make batch file a) This is if you use a transforms file: @echo off cls echo Installing Office 2003 echo Please Wait start /wait %systemdrive%\install\office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=SETUP.MST /qb /noreboot and with no transforms file: @echo off cls echo Installing Office 2003 echo Please Wait start /wait %systemdrive%\install\office2003\setup.exe PIDKEY=whatever-your-serial-number-is-without-dashes /qb- /noreboot Or something like that. Save the batch in xpcd\$oem$\$1\install\install.cmd and in your winnt.sif, under [GuiRunOnce], put [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\install.cmd

? Even AutoIt doesn't work cos of no keyboard usage in the installation. You could try using the ControlClick stuff in Autoit but I don't know how.

What do you mean by additional accounts?

lol under [Data] put AutomaticUpdates=yes And under [unattended] put UnattendSwitch="yes" Auto updates=yes is self explanatory and unattendedswitch skips internet setup. And skips welcome screen,

Hey Ryan, you are right cos loads of files were missing on a test nlite source with update pack. But it seems to work nliting it after update pack integration, so that's strange...

Well even in the slightest change you should make an iso and test it in Vmware or something...

Er... for .NET I extract the files from WinRar and run %.net2%\install.exe /qn /norestart For messenger, if it comes in an msi then msnmsgs.msi /qn /norestart For WL Messenger you have to extract the files from the exe

No offence but you are pretty stupid... I think e.g. You wrote at the end: REG ADD %KEY%\065 /VE /D "Power DVD" /f REG ADD %KEY%\065 /VE /D "%systemdrive%\install\pdvd6_setup.exe" /S /f But it's REG ADD %KEY%\065 /VE /D "Power DVD" /f REG ADD %KEY%\065 /VE /D "%systemdrive%\install\pdvd6_setup.exe /S" /f The last quotation mark goes after the switch Oh yeah, and on your dvd shrink, winavi, easy video joiner and isobuster, it's not innosetup.exe /very silent But innosetup.exe /VERYSILENT

You use nlite BEFORE the update pack and use HIS integrator to... well integrate.

Thanks!

Where can you get wmplayer 11?????

Why do u need an exe file? Does it make a difference? If you want something professional try xplode, wpi or something... How can u not understand? Do a google search...

... Try it again! Make sure sp2 is slipstreamed before ryan's update pack. If this happened in a virtual machine, try replacing %windir%\explorer.exe into your virtual machine. If this works, makecab explorer and replace it into your i386 dir. If you don't use a virtual machine, even if its only ryan's update pack, use one!

Search ur hard disk for mshta.exe and open it with that. I cant open it, it opens the file but all I see is a white screen I am using windows xp so it should work...

Cool Attached is a port to OpenOffice.org 2 It didn't seem to work properly on openoffice but give it a try. EDIT did I say cool? I meant WICKED! install0.0.1.zip

Cool.

Is it possible to localize the Windows source itself, without having to use an unattended installation? I mean like in nlite, when you browse to the windows source and it says e.g. Language: English (United States). Is there any way to change that language directly?

AutoIt now supports Gui so you could make the interface look professional and execute the setup with switches.

You could read this tutorial on how to make an AIO OS cd, but only use Home and Pro.(instead of leaving folder as IWXP, use IWXPH for home and IWXPP for pro) To set them both to use $oem$ just put OemPreinstall=Yes on both Pro and home winnt.sif

I find batch files work better. Easier to create and if you use the right commands, you know if there is an error.

I think I've found a way to remove addons from nLite or rvm integrator... Open the cab file and open the entries.ini file. Here's Firefox 1.5.0.1 [general] builddate=2005/12/05 description=Firefox 1.5.0.1 language=English title=:Firefox version=1.5.0,1 website=http://ryanvm.msfn.org [sysoc] firefox=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,firefox.inf,HIDE,7 [dosnet_files] d1,firefox.inf d1,firefox.cab [txtsetup_files] firefox.cab = 100,,,,,,_x,,3,3 firefox.inf = 100,,,,,,,20,0,0 You can see here that the files used are firefox.cab and firefox.inf. You can see that the cab mods sysoc.inf, dosnet.inf and txtsetup.sif. First, sysoc.inf. Expand it and open it. Let the line in the entries.ini under [sysoc] be x. Find x in your expanded sysoc.inf and delete the whole line. * Open dosnet.inf. I recommend you use a tool like Notepad++ to search for the lines. Search for d1 ,firefox.inf and d1 ,firefox.cab. Delete the whole line.* Run txtsetup.sif in Notepad++ or something, search for lines firefox.cab = 100,,,,,,_x,,3,3 and firefox.inf = 100,,,,,,,20,0,0 and delete the whole thing.* Then delete firefox.cab/ca_ and firefox.inf/in_ from i386. * Dunno if you need to modifype it? Lots of people have probably picked this up already, but lots of people still don't know... I have tested it so it should work.
