Themes: Apply theme (let theme name be x) find x.theme in %systemroot%\resources\themes Find folder name named x. Copy both file and folder to %xpcd%\$oem$\$$\Resources\Themes You're done! Logon style: For welcome screen, apply it. Go to %systemroot%\system32 and copy logonui.exe (or if you use LogonStudio, I think it's logonuix.exe). Rename it to logonui.exe, modifype and makecab. Replace logonui.ex_ in i386\ with modded one. Go here for old NT logon screen.

LOL, search on the net before posting questions

An easier way is to download something like poweroff In your batch file, do something like Once you install poweroff, find poweroff.exe in %windir%\system32 and put it in %xpcd%\$oem$\$$\System32

Do a bit of research on switches for Wise Installer To auto enter your serial, install zonealarm, and go to reg key [hklm\software\zone labs\zonealarm\registration\] Export it and use it in your UA install

[NOTE] It does make a difference if [GuiRunOnce] is wrong because setup checks for one, and if it exists checks for any errors and typos. EDIT and did you make the winnt.sif manually, or by nLite or deployment tools or something?

Make an SFX of those folders, options set to extract the activation files to those folders, hide file list ets, for a silent extract and add the sfx to your runonce.cmd, to install BEFORE Acrobat - you have to do it before if you don't want to manually open the sfx during install.

Few very minor mistakes: V. good English though!

LOL sorry but not many people check on the CVSs and nightlys. v2.0 Alpha is out but I'm not gonna go near that until the stable (or sort of stable beta) comes out! EDIT So it is still sort of beta.

Ok, 1.1 doesn't crash, it was only because of a 1.7gb file, files.7z in the program files folder Like the new UI in 1.2, but when selecting English (USA) some words are still Brazilian.

I've been looking for that too, try AutoIt? Or maybe it extracts to %temp% ? EDIT oh yeah, the icon seems to be Wise Installer, so maybe /S? But what about your serial?

Is there really... I'm guessing this is a hoax, I can't seem to find it, especially only after a one week that 1.5.0.3 has come out...

I don't quite get what you're saying so I'll say two (possible) methods? 1) Maybe you could add the command to your batch file. And use variable %i386src% or something like that. SET doesn't always work for me... 2) Use a program like notepad++. Go on Search>Replace, type I386 source and in the change to box type E:\Atomix\XP\XP\I386 Check Match whole word and click replace all.

LOL I use the RVM integrator and the $oem$ folders on batch scripting with switches. you could use Winrar or something and an sfx and execute the setup with the switches but I've got plenty of time, disk space and a couple of dvd-9s so I don't need to

For the Office XP part. I use a dvd for my combined install of o2k and XP. You could put the office XP into the $oem$ folders and use runonceex or Batch Scripting under GuiRunOnce in your winnt.sif. Or you can use a batch file to prompt you to eject and insert the second CD. The basic way is @echo off cls ECHO do anything you want to do on this cd pause ECHO please insert second cd with office xp pause if exist %dir_of_o2k%\setup.exe goto :install if not exist %dir_of_o2k%\setup.exe goto :error :install start /wait %dir_of_o2k%\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=TRANSFORM_NAME.MST /qb- /noreboot echo installed successfully pause exit :error echo Please insert office xp cd pause if exist %dir_of_o2k%\setup.exe goto :install if not exist %dir_of_o2k%\setup.exe goto :error or something like that. You can see a more advanced article here.

I know that that is what you should use for an Installshield msi but it doesn't seem to work...

I've had problems using the -ms switch on v1.5.x It probably doesn't work for anyone

I find that on my pc, I can't use blahblah.msi /whateverswitch and I have to do msiexec /whateverswitch blahblah.msi /anotherswitch? I am going to assume that %acrobat% is the location msiexec /p %acrobat7.0.5patch%\Ac705StVP_efgj.msp /a %admin_installation%\AcroStan.msi Then patch your patched Acrobat msiexec /p %acrobat7.0.7patch\Acro707.msp /a %admin_installation%\AcroStan.msi Make sure your installation is a server image! Just in case... msiexec /a %acrobat_original_installdir%\AcroStan.msi I'm not too sure if you can make a server image on a standard version of Acrobat.

That doesn't work

I sort of get this, can this mean a upgrade XP can be a retail XP?

I made an iso with my whole win98 cd and my whole xp home upgrade cd and tested it in vmware, but it still asked me to switch discs! Maybe it has something to do with the disc label?

I've tried the following switches C:\QuickTime\QuickTime.msi TRANSFORMS=QUICKTIME.MST /qb It says that you need a transforms file ---I don't get that... msiexec /j C:\QuickTime\QuickTime.msi /t:QUICKTIME.MST /qb msiexec /j C:\QuickTime\QuickTime.msi /t:C:\QuickTime\QUICKTIME.MST /qb They say to make sure the path to the transforms file is correct. Help please?

The easiest way: is to integrate RyanVM's Acrobat Reader 6/7 from here. Click the version you want and integrate it in nlite. The hard way to learn, but not to do: you make a batch file that automates your silent program installation. So if you only want Adobe Reader 6 with the switches you mentioned then make the batch file: ECHO Installing Adobe Reader 6 ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\AdobeReader6\AdbeRdr60_enu_basic.exe -p"-s /v\"/qn\"" If you wanted another program then maybe ECHO Installing Adobe Reader 6 ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\AdobeReader6\AdbeRdr60_enu_basic.exe -p"-s /v\"/qn\"" ECHO. ECHO Installing office 2003 (or whatever other app) ECHO Please Wait start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.mst /qb- ECHO Finished, please reboot And so on. Place the batch in say $OEM$\$1\install\Applications\silent.cmd and in your winnt.sif, under [GuiRunOnce] put [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\Applications\silent.cmd Go to Unattended App Installs for a full guide.

I don't know of any switches. The only commercial msi I use is Office 2003, and I use a Transforms file. You can use a program called msitran.exe in the windows installer sdk to make a transforms file but I don't know how to use it. You can download the SDK here.

I dunno... I think you have to hack a bios driver file with a hex editor and change it and install the bios from that file, it's too much bother for DVD or CD/DVD instead of cd
