Yes, the file from french CD will work. Those WIN51* named files, are called CD idents, and are the same for all languages.

What you want to do, is to modify winntbbu.dll (the setup screens and text). There's an entire forum-section dedicated to this - click here EDIT: Yeah, same as what sixpack said.

Doggie's post above said it, I think. What more can really be added on to that.... it tells you in precise words, what you need to know! If you're developing for an embedded device, or you just simply want to experience the modular nature of XPembedded - then you want XPembedded. home page And if you read that page, and wading through a lot of red-tape to have an evaluation CD of XPe is irritating, then you want the direct download!

uhmm.... your attention please! This is an announcement by your friendly neighbourhood watcher, that if you're using this thread to increase post-count, you might as well stop. Because from now, no posts in this thread will add to your total count. Tangled mass of words, that won't count towards your post-total, enjoy!

No....Follow the policy, whatever method you use. Have the oldest hotfix "/integrate" ed into I386 source first, and work your way upwards.

Seems to me like an improper edit of setupldr.bin

The original installer is just too heavy. Download the re-packed .NET fw SP1 installer from here - http://ryanvm.net/msfn/. It is already tailor-made for silent install, no switches needed, just execute it.

@Masters and Jonic Hey, you will see as you continue along this path, that having the setup to stop and ask you for partitioning details, really is the best option. Your objective of specifying partitioning (multiple partitions, partition types, sizes) is possible to be done in an automated way, through diskpart scripts in WinPE - but it would just take up way too much time in testing WinPE. It would waste more of your time, than it helps to save. So what's the verdict? What you want, is possible through winpe. But its not worth wasting time on, unless you have to deploy a Windows OS onto hundreds of PCs. XP setup defaults to NTFS formatting (quick).

Yeah right, it may not matter what order, as of now. But for the sake of doing it the right way, always integrate the oldest hot-fix first, and newest one at the last (because some hot-fixes would contain conflicting file-versions in the future).

You need to re-make your CD. Copy all files to hard-disk, modify whatever you want, then write to CD with boot-sector. And hey, just to add.... you need to "modifype" the file, and then "makecab" whatever files you have modified. Yeah, do as astalavista said, if you haven't yet seen the guide.

Welcome to MSFN jagomez * This topic moves to the "Introduce Yourself" section of the forum.

1. Which version of windows is this? 2. Do you have the CD idents accordingly? 3. Maybe a series of files, called "disk101","disk102","disk103" and so on is missing, which is why the above error message is shown.

STFW = Search the fine Web

Let's have a "trouble-shooting your batch-files" page in advanced/graduate section: 1. A point in the FAQ saying that while having any problems with your winnt.sif or batch-files, first thing to check for is illegal characters, or non-ANSI text file. 2. About using the PAUSE command strategically (when you're still testing things), after every app-install, so you can see the output. 3. Teach 'em to try out batch-files first within normal install windows itself. And to learn how app-switches work - try out the commands from a DOS prompt! Without this basic point, people start thinking that batch-files, commands and such... are something greatly high in programmer-land - and that they can't fix it themselves. Let them know that a batch-file is nothing more than the commands that you run at a CMD prompt, strung together for "executing one after another". (might not seem such a great deal to you, but when its an abstract concept for a new-comer, he will put-off his uA project for later, like I did for 3 months, lol). And in the "explaining how batch-files work" page (of point 3 just above), probably a link to a real good site, explaining about DOS commands and how they they work and how they end up as batch-files - is invaluable for a newbie. Attached is a page, of the type that I think is appropriate as a "starter". The_lost_art_of_batch_scripting....htm

1. Maybe your batch-file is not saves as ANSI text. 2. Check if the relevant files/folders are present on the HD at all, during the START.CMD's run. 3. You can use ryanvm's packs for adobe acrobat reader (updated to 6.02), and JRE and .NET 4. MSN messenger has been updated - 6.0 is not the best version to use.

And I would have, too!Just turns out that Alanoll was allotted this thingie before i mustered enough courage to put up my hand for the re-design. So I took the easy way out and did not show up my hand, lol. But well, contributing from the sides is not quite so demanding, so I keep doing that. (in the process, increasing the load on him) Yes, I'm not averse to doing some pages myself too - but then the entire site would gel together only if its a single person handling it. Too many cooks spoil the broth!

Nice site.

I was looking through a few web pages today, and found that there was some tabbed browser inspired by opera, but using IE engine - and was called IE Opera. Now the thing is, its not to be found anywhere! The address http://www.ieopera.com takes you to Avant browser. Has it got renamed since 2002 to Avant, or what?

lol So does that mean watchmen can be dismissed and PS2's brought in, to replace them instead?

I'm back for yet more additions. This is for the slip-streaming section, probably FAQ of sorts (like you already have in nLite forum). 1. Get the dang idents in place, otherwise you'll be asked to insert your CD in the floppy drive. 2. If you have an OEM disk (most notorious problematic one being dell) which is not allowing SP2 to be merged into the I386 dir, delete SVCPACK.IN* and any folders by name SVCPACK or UPDATE.

Your CD idents (in the root of the CD) are missing. Take a look at this post for the idents - click here.

Are you referring to virus defs subscription? If so, its expected behaviour. Keep in mind that it can only be used on the same machine where it was activated, and that all other info will get carried over too.

I like the idea of direct links to files, so it can be downloaded and shown to anybody else, offline. http://www.media.ebaumsworld.com/supercoolpic.swf

Thx for the 0 replies. Finally found the solution: http://esupport.ca.com/index.html?/public/...s/inoc7_faq.asp But I still don't know how to remove the key. The purpose is to re-seal it. Either to install it without giving a key, or remove the given key after it finishes installing. Some snooping around, revealed that probably the license file is contained in a .bin in the installed folder. But no definite info yet, any ideas?

You will have 1024x768 only at first-logon. Until the graphical setup finishes, it will be 640x480. And did you integrate drivers through OEMpnpDriversPath ? Using the setup to install the control panel is a later step, first integrate drivers using OEMpnpDriversPath. And I believe vid1365chng has a "-force" option to force video modes. VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV @Astalavista FYI, that *IS* first-logon. lol
