Thanks We don't get much help from MS nor the help files so that leaves us with experimentation.

1 skipped dir with robocopy is normal, skips the folder it copy from Running within a VM all bets are off, it may or may not. VM is not perfect, better than when I started with XP way back but not perfect. XP 64 is only OS I have not tried this on but can on another machine here but will take a few days. Syswow64 is the actual 32 bit where system32 is the 64 directory. The .inf has this where it installs them files and that's where it will look for them. Even Waik does this. You could try moving them but the registry may be pointing where they are now. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\WIMMount [DestinationDirs] MiniFilter.SystemFiles = 11 ;%windir%\system32 MiniFilter.DriverFiles = 12 ;%windir%\system32\drivers If you have the Waik from 7 it might work since it should install to the system32 folder.

JohnIt's no problem, I jump right on anything that presents a problem to anyone as best I can as long as they are willing to offer me feedback as clear as you have, although the language problem occasionally. From some my App is the most bug free of any offered here so I am trying to keep it that way. Some of the workarounds I have done myself are disable or uninstall (NIS) Norton Internet Security and unplug the ethernet cable until I am done with my modifications and install it last during my UA so it wouldn't delete my little helper applications. I only have ComodoFirewall in my list of applications for a UA install. Not CIS.

from a ? here http://www.msfn.org/board/your-seven-here-t139572-pid-920142.html/page__view__findpost__p__920142 I only done a default theme just to test in a VM so you may need a bit more work with the other non MS themes I chose Landscape and this is how I added to xml theme was applied AutoUnattend.xml <settings pass="oobeSystem"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <Themes> <ThemeName>C:\Windows\resources\Themes\landscapes.theme</ThemeName> <DefaultThemesOff>false</DefaultThemesOff> <DesktopBackground>%WINDIR%\web\wallpaper\Landscapes\img7.jpg</DesktopBackground> </Themes> </component> you must select img from <DesktopBackground> within your modded theme change processorArchitecture="amd64" to your processor

Follow instructions in msgbox, uninstall old waik then come back and start again and say yes to install what I use and tell it later on reboot. My app is safe, the yoda is a compressor. I use that to help reduce size for those on dialup. I don't know how this will work in a sandbox Any drive for install is ok AVG is bad also with this but the NIS I had didn't have a problem with it. Just deleting small little helper apps i use for stuff made me mad, like sleep.exe to delay things and the sendtoa3x. With new PC purchase I had 18 months of service on 3 PC's with that so it's only installed on 1 multi user pc now here. Problem with most them suites is they won't allow you to make up your mind on things Try this app sendtoa3x by MHz and see if it thinks its bad http://users.tpg.com.au/mpheath/sendtoa3x/

I dont use C:\VritualRoot folder so must be VM. I copy the dvd to a sub folder of Se7en_UA\uaDVD and then mount to Se7en_UA\zMountDir. If you go back to dvd copy and delete it wipes them completely. I do that for several reasons a. My actual source copies is extracted to folders on another drive. I don't messup the original b I don't want to copy dvd each time which is slower. c. If I start over even to change x86 to x64 it is real quick to copy back again is-7IDCD.tmp must be Inno installer temps I gave up on NIS also cause it kept deleting sendtoa3x which identifies installers for silent switches. These things won't let you make any decision and change on your own as I believe they think we're stupid. I'm now running Avast Free 5.0

64 rocks now, early on at RTM a lot of problems with permissions and such even with uac off I've had no trouble with any applications I use EDIT: But I do run with uac off since I am a programmer and Unattended till you get it done it's best off, then you may turn back on after on final machine if you want.

this is bugging me.Is the license file in the app folder? It does a little check on MD5 to make sure you not getting a virus open the appswitch.dat and near bottom see if it writing the SystemRoot which will tell me if it made it past a bas module [Vista_ABOUT] Count=1 AppswitchCheckedOn=04/20/2010 Version=6.2.4 SystemRoot=C:\ only folders should be Help, REGadd, Tools on clean install

Just found something and may prevent it from starting, I'll fix on next but check this reg key and see if its set to 0 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3] "1200"=dword:00000000

Nothing I can see in session. msxml6 was an update in that and would have been 2nd choice. Yes event logs was what I meant, might uninstall, clear them all and try again. Surely must be something. You are installing on root of drive? I moved mine to Progra files and it gave error and shutdown so that works here. I can install xp 64 clean on another machine here but probably wouldn't help if it works in your vm. Unfortunately I have to go to work in a few so be gone. Will try and think of what else might be. EDIT: Make sure there are no folders with weird names like files there also like Appswitch.dat or Se7en_UA.ini, if so delete them and try again

trying to think here. Don't know why it wouldn't start. This will work fine with new waik so no problem there, only the old is problem. rename Appswitch.new to Appswitch.dat. .new is not needed but if you have your own modified .dat Delete the ini and restart so we see if its getting past that part. I have removed some stuff to make it lighter install and with Nlite reucing we must be missing something. Can you look at error logs and see if anything there? Edit: you must have microsoft scripting installed as a minimum http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=C717D943-7E4B-4622-86EB-95A22B832CAA&displaylang=en

try adding <DNSDomain>xxx.xxx.1.1</DNSDomain> right after </DNSServerSearchOrder> Know this can be done but can't find my notes right now also <Identifier>Local Area Connection</Identifier>

none, basically if using xml just change processorArchitecture="amd64" to processorArchitecture="x86"

I'll get there, made a messup with install yesterday and theme didn't take complete but still looking at it

Thanks Escorpiom I try to find easiest methods because they are still there and work excellent. Why suffer with headaches? Could actually have that firstlogon on a usb drive alongside your xml and then you can change either as needed.

then make it simpler from setupcomplete.cmd no scripts cmd /C start /wait NET ACCOUNTS /MAXPWAGE:UNLIMITED C:\Users\YOURNAME>NET ACCOUNTS Force user logoff how long after time expires?: Never Minimum password age (days): 0 Maximum password age (days): Unlimited

http://www.askvg.com/how-to-install-use-3rd-party-custom-themes-in-windows-7/ You're saying you patched the themes but did you do this? Like other Windows versions, Windows 7 also doesn't allow 3rd party themes to be used by default and you'll need to patch following 3 system files to be able to use 3rd party themes in Windows 7: * uxtheme.dll * themeui.dll * themeservice.dll And add them to your mounted source? I'll do that here next day or so and see what happens. Far as your sig: I don't want to use a ready made answer file. No one should, examples are only that, customize whichever way you want.

so if you used patched themes then you are adding the patched theme dll? It allows other themes besides ms

are you selecting the compress? I added that in as a pre cursor to removing stuff.

Read.txt said copy pdfind.exe to root like C:\ Needs some tweaking for sure, when it open it starts listing every file instead of bringing up the criteria box. I have my SearchMyFiles reg version bringing up criteria box but something not complete yet, hadn't got back to it. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shell\. SearchMyFiles\command] @="C:\\SearchMyFiles.exe /ScanSubfolders 1 /BaseFolder \"%1\"" EDIT: reason I put on root is for some reason 64 don't like me adding them things with my installer .cmds

will have to give a try when I can get time, currently working on language packs

search via windows which is terrible and slow or something else.Click my Seven_UA link and look in tools folder for psfind, adds a right click 'File Finder...' on drives and folders which works way better than MS search. can search content also with that read the read.txt

The simple answer is MS Virtual PC doesn't support x64 clients never has done, Try VirtualBox. Virtualbox works but was iffy last I tried VirtualBox-3.1.4-57640-Win, Vmware workstation works excellent with 64 Edit: iffy with usb jumpdrives but may have improved by now and VirtualBox is free

might have to take another look at reg shot since said was 64 now, but InstallwatchPro do track file and folder changes also so much better.
