Though I haven't seen a setting to change the location of that alone, there does seem to be a similar thing offered through TweakUI. You could apply that, and use RegShot monitoring to find out which registry setting does it. Otherwise, there's of course ways to make the entire "Documents and Settings" be located somewhere outside the "C:\" drive. That way is cleaner for the C: drive too!. That is done through winnt.sif (example): [GuiUnattended] ProfilesDir="D:\Documents and Settings\"

Yeah, some MSIs need to be called through the setup.exe alone, only then they work. Anyways, if you could see what "setup.exe /?" outputs, and post that here, and any "setup.ini" that may be in the installer directory, there could be a possibility of what I was thinking. The .INI holds a few hints as to the switches to be used.

What resolution should it be? And are you sure only WMV7 format is accepted? 'Cos with WMV9 codecs integrated into SP2, it should be able to play v9?

You need to call the VBS with "wscript" or "cscript" to be sure it will run. And that will take up more time than just the 0.5 seconds you want it to. Just sticking to what's scriptable right within the batch-files sounds better. One option is to ping 127.0.0.1 for as many times (or milli-secs) as needed to wait. That way, no sleep.exe or VBS is needed. Of course, the COLOR command is simple enough, use it after the inter-mittent pings.

That's a REALLY neat and detailed guide. Thank you for doing this. Now we can re-direct the new-comers who have problems, to this thread.

You posted the EXACT same thing here as well - other thread. Please refrain from cross-posting (posting the same thing across different threads) ! Thank you for agreeing to MSFN forum guide-lines.

Huh? If you took the time to read the whole post above, dirtyepic says that the L2 cache tweak is of no use on newer processors (like duron). Do NOT set that tweak to 64 (or anything else, for that matter) on duron. The "why" is clearly explained above......

Hi, welcome to MSFN! The first thing you would need to update, would be to the latest service pack - get SP2 from here - download. Then install WMP10, there's no need to allow it to check and download updates, as of now.

Yes, its quite possible. There are many such "selectable install makers" that can be found here. One of those is - WIHU.

Is this thread in funny farm referring to the same video? (unsure) Mcdonald's Counterstrike

@Nexi Please post the topic in the correct section the next time! Also, giving more details might be appropriate: I noticed this is a batch file (17 KB). Also, it may not run the way it should, due to the formatted text in it (open it using notepad, and see that the text is all messed up, only opens right in wordpad).

Only CDIMAGE and UltraISO have the facility to "optimize" the data on CD (encode repeated files only once). And that's the feature due to which your CD size is so large - you need to optimize it.

Yes, that's the right way. Many ppl would do it like this: The 2 things as mentioned in the quote are good. Then the big apps install, then the utils, then the direct-extraction SFXes, then the registry tweaks, then the clean-up!

I suppose the message history is off, by default. I've not heard of a way to reset messenger settings to default state, but one way could be to delete the registry key (in HKCU) that stores MSN messenger settings - its registry stuff so be a little careful in what you delete.

Well, I HAD to clarify this - crahak please check if its not required. Maybe you meant the auto-update (since auto-update works even without BITS). Also, until XPSP1, and during the previous version of Windows Update (v4), BITS was not needed. But over here, on XP SP2 + WU v5, unless BITS is enabled, windows update doesn't download files (which is effectively "doesn't work"). --> So that means WU requires BITS to be active. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\New Windows] "PopupMgr"="yes"Maybe that tweak says to enable the pop-up blocker. "dword:00000001" means positive (yes/enabled). Zero would be "no/disabled".

You can try deleting "MYDOCS.DL_" from the I386 folder. Setup will give a file-missing error, then continue. But it prevents creation of those folders - that's what you want. Keep in mind though, that that file might have other functions as well, which might break when you delete that file. Having the code below, in your winnt.sif will prevent the "file-missing" error dialog-box from appearing. Because if it appears then your setup is not unattended anymore! [SetupParams] skipmissingfiles=yes Try deleting the file. Test it. If your windows installation seems fine and it achieved what you want, then good. Otherwise, we can try something else.

Look for a file named "EULA.txt" in the I386 folder. If such a file does not exist, then copy that file from your backup copy of the XP CD. It should be able to find that now. Do let us know how it goes, and if anything else crops up!

LOL, that's why I said "there might be a remote possibility of using that switches" and that's why I was surprised that it worked (some posts ago). Well, I've not been around win9x much since YEARS! Maybe you could e-mail the author of that unofficial SP? I hope you find your solution (and then post it here! ).

OK, here's the resulting setup.iss for a silent install of the nVidia NVmixer (aud-Util) that is contained in the nForce 5.10 drivers download: [InstallShield Silent] Version=v6.00.000 File=Response File [File Transfer] OverwrittenReadOnly=NoToAll [{D7A6C517-11F2-419F-B5BB-27772B939698}-DlgOrder] Dlg0={D7A6C517-11F2-419F-B5BB-27772B939698}-SdWelcome-0 Count=2 Dlg1={D7A6C517-11F2-419F-B5BB-27772B939698}-SdFinishReboot-0 [{D7A6C517-11F2-419F-B5BB-27772B939698}-SdWelcome-0] Result=1 [Application] Name=NvMixer Version=1.50.000 Company=NVIDIA Corporation Lang=0009 [{D7A6C517-11F2-419F-B5BB-27772B939698}-SdFinishReboot-0] Result=1 BootOption=0

Thanks. Updated the attachment, to correct what you suggest. @everybody If you have corrections to be made to the attachment, and you're sure you're right, then please PM me instead. The modifications will be made, and I'll add in the first post the most recent edited time. Let's not clutter the thread with required corrections, and confirmed modifications.

"%systemroot%\system32\nvaudio.nvu" will exist right from T-39, you won't have any issues with it being present around T-12. But I install it after a re-boot (GUIrunOnce), and it installs fine. I doubt the nVidia Sound utility will install fine at T-12.

After WMP10 is setup, is the time to apply those registry tweaks.

*topic renamed to be descriptive of content

That thing has been a big annoyance. Just have it install itself unattended, and then these registry tweaks applied thru cmdlines.txt: WMP9 and 10 (for Setup, eliminate the first-run screen) [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences] "AcceptedPrivacyStatement"=dword:00000001 "FirstRun"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsMediaPlayer] "GroupPrivacyAcceptance"=dword:00000001

Did you remove any components while on nLite? Or combined drivers, or used some tweaks?
