@Asta preset user icon - Here's a topic dealing with what you want to do (posted months ago).

read-up about BartPE, and download from here. But that may not be what you need. Jeremy, I think you are seeing the shared documents there. Apply these regtweaks to get rid of it. ; Remove Shared Documents in My Computer view [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "NoSharedDocuments"=dword:00000001 ;Remove Shared Documents from My Computer ;[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\DelegateFolders\{59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}]

If it stores full path, won't it become absolute? Will system variables still be usable?

Yes, MS officially says once an SP is released, versions without the SP cannot be sold (atleast, if you want to stick to legality).@Soldier1st Yes, SP1 makes it better - but it becomes a useless junk when you want to move on to SP2. The old SP1 stuff stays on and increases size of the CD.

Plus! DME uses MSI installer. So the "/QB" switch will work. As for selecting which components you want to install, you could probably do that by creating an MST file (MSI transform, just like how you do it for office2003).

I don't know why your batch-file is calling itself repeatedly - if you used the code I previously gave, as it is it works fine. Now for a "kill" command to enable us to have it done automatically (instead of having to close the command window manually). It seems that the win98 resource-kit itself has the required function. There's 2 problems with the above:one, the reskit download address doesn't seem to work anymore. two, using the kill.exe from the reskit, will require you to specify the ProcessID - which might vary everytime. So if you want to kill the process name instead, save the below code as killer.vbs (or whatever) and run it just before the "EXIT" command. ' Killer.VBS ' This script kills all processes with name COMMAND.COM strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colProcessList = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("SELECT * FROM Win32_Process WHERE Name = 'command.com'") For Each objProcess in colProcessList objProcess.Terminate() NextYou can run it with the command: cscript.exe //B %windir%\killer.vbsAnd how to copy killer.vbs to %windir% in the first place? Put the file in your cabs folder, and add the file-name to the list of files to copy, in MSBATCH.INF.

How can eTrust EZ Antivirus 7.0 be installed silently in an unattended install? And if a key is given initially while installing it, how can the key/license be removed so that at first-run later on, it should ask for the key again?

I think InstallShield setups should be run with a "dash". setup.exe -s

Ha ha.... Kate and Leonardo totally naked.

Hello Cartoonite, And welcome to MSFN.

If there is, I haven't heard of it. Almost every good compression util I know can only extract to a single path (winrar, 7zip, winzip, pkzip, stuffit, power-archiver.....).I was recently told of this utility - Paquet Builder - Create powerful Self-Extracting distributions. But other than that, I think your best bet is to resort to install-makers. Something like Inno-setup, WinInstall-LE (for MSI packages), AI-setup (MSI).

Cold water is indeed better. That too.Brush teeth immediately after waking up, have a shower some time later.

AFAIK, there's no switch for the trillian pro installer. It just extracts itself to the folder to be installed. You can just do the same to have it silently installed. Copy over "C:\Program Files\Trillian" as: "$OEM$\$Progs\Trillian\" And the start-menu shortcuts as: "$OEM$\$Docs\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Trillian\"

You mean to say, that you want to rename that option? Or do you want to enable it? If you want to rename it, then what's the use! Its anyway not going to lock your icons.

Of course there's a way. Because, if you think of it, the MyDocs is just a folder inside the Docs&Settings folder. To put the needed templates in the MyDocs folder of every user who will be created, put the files in this folder structure:$OEM$\$Docs\Default User\My Documents\

Did you not read the rules!

No it won't be included on the uA guide, because it might be too difficult for new-comers to understand. But yes, if you are comfortable with RunOnceEX, you won't find it too difficult to learn XPlode's config - the bonus is that its *VERY* good-looking too. Check out the XPlode section on this forum, for all info about it.

I don't use RunOnceEX, nor do I use batch-files. Ever since wraith came on the scene, I've been using XML-based configuration files (XPinstall and XPlode). The XMLs are able to do pretty much everything without needing batch-files - and where its not sufficient, I use .REG or INF or VBscripts. Although, where guiding someone else is concerned, I would talk in terms of batch-files - just because its easier and the guide also uses CMD files.

I haven't heard of a windows messenger 5.1 The switch for KLR 2.6, is this - "/VERYSILENT /SP-".

If you need more CMD replacements, check out the kiX and nircmd utils - google for details. Prolly that is suitable to directly launch another program from scripts.

Since you are beginning out with unattended, don't use the CMDs and .REGs for user creation. There's an easier way - oobeinfo.ini method. Single file, and simple to use.

For your SunJRE and .NET installs, check out the re-packed installer hosted by RyanVM. He has it re-packed and made such that no switches need to be passed - just run the EXE and that's it - totally silent install. For winamp, the code you need is this: start /wait %something%\whatever_path\winamp281.exe /S taskkill /f /im winamp.exeThat's it - those 2 lines of code will do. And note the capital "/S" in winamp's switch. To make a batch-file wait for specified time, you can use "sleep.exe". Usage: sleep 10That is, tell it how many seconds you want it to sleep (or wait, in other words). The code chunk in usage example above, will make your batch-file pause for 10 seconds before moving on. Download sleep.exe from this page Nero, now that's a topic been discussed a number of times. Please search the forums for more info about it. Really, repeating the same thing again is boring! As for perfect-disk, that should be possible too, someone else might come along who knows about it. Or search the forum, and you might get your answer.

Yes, repeatedly configuring windows is a pain. Take a look at the stickied topic in this forum - its even named "Registry Tweaks", seems like you missed seeing that.

I don't know why you'd want to open a blank CD, since anyway there's nothing on it. Do you actually mean adding data to it from explorer? As for why its not working, its because you have disabled CD-writing functionality. To get it back, the below steps: 1. Start>>Run "services.msc" 2. In the list, look for "IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service" and double-click it. 3. Now change the "Startup type" from dropdown box - it was "disabled", now make it "Automatic". 4. Click "Apply" button to apply the change. 5. Reboot. That's it, it should now work fine.

Can't it be possible from within XP itself, to tell it use only one processor (as effectively HT is enabled with multi-proc). Msconfig has no switch for this. But might be that bootcfg has an option to pass to kernel? (dunno 'bout this, just an enquiry)
