VLC media player plays almost anything. And its free http://www.videolan.org/ -
well yes I do because being a developer I am a debugger, you take every tweak program on the planet even some before they started selling them and after including X-setup and you trace each and everything they do one or 2 at a time. You take the group policy things and trace each and everything it does. Thats massive Kinda fits as urie and I have done same things with well over 1000 applications and many, many different versions of the same. Unfortunately we would edit and update it to new versions not keeping the old in most cases. Also trash the junk apps most definitely. Spent many hours talking back and forth testing all this stuff, debugging down to last item needed for a good install with serial, files, reg, entire folders to keep our settings. Thats how we developed the Appswitch.dat used with my program

Ask your Seven xml ? here

True but The easy ways were created I believe since a. MS don't help much with their 1.5Gb download. They don't show full examples of say Dvd, Ris or whatever. You get error's you crash and burn. b. People still get error's and go seeking help. Edit: Most this is answered not from MS but by other users that have, Been there done that c. A lot of people on dial-up or limited internet access and 1.5gb download is not a good thing. I've been there so I know. d. They want it fast. No time to wade through all the mess that many before have already done and can give guidance of their methods -

don't have the : in it. change like this. I haven't used that in long time so had to go back to my Unattendxp application. FOR %%d IN (c: d: e: f: g: h: i: j: k: l: m: n: o: p: q: r: s: t: u: v: w: x: y: z:) DO IF EXIST %%d\sources\install.wim SET MEDIA=%%d -
IMHO #1 Why? I personally have not figured out what advantage that does. I make all my apps save stuff to a different drive so if I need to reinstall which I do quite frequently (If a drive can't handle 200 reinstall's a year then it's not worth having) yes of course I use VM a lot more now testing stuff since it has advanced to a much better level from XP days. It don't matter. I don't lose anything with my applications backup methods. Fox, Tbird, Trillian and any other program I have on. All the settings, reg stuff and so on #2 I have probably the most complete collection which probably surpasses your 1000 by quite a bit but just how many of those work with Win 7? On my back burner I still have a tweaking program but haven't had much time to mess with it so I inclde a folder will run all those .reg, .vbs, .cmd as needed. 3. That would be tough to do since 7 is so new and things have changed quite a bit. With SP1 on the horizon things will most definitely change quite a bit more since MS does that just to mess up all the customizing applications out here. They confused and don't know where they going or how they will get there. Dam, think I work for a place like that

Maybe it is the default but I don't think so cause it never has been in 7 years I've been doing Unattended, however I don't know cause I disable the updates when I'm installing. I want to set WU after i'm done 'There' I meant the 7customizer sticky cause if you're using it that would be most likely place to ask if anyone else has that, it has some bugs, but I haven't seen that one posted there. I've done Drivers, Updates with and without each other and never had the problem your describing.

Most Stable Windows 7 Customizer?
maxXPsoft replied to marcusj0015's topic in Unattended Windows 7/Server 2008R2
thanks MAVERICK, some just can't get the hang of the RunOnceEx which still works great in Win 7 I have been at this longer than the rest like since XP. Am thinking of adding removing stuff just can't decide whether it's worth the headache. -

The FirstLogonCommands setting specifies commands to run the first time a user logs on to the computer. These commands run only once. Valid Configuration Passes oobeSystem Configuration Pass you have it in specialize -
Most Stable Windows 7 Customizer?
maxXPsoft replied to marcusj0015's topic in Unattended Windows 7/Server 2008R2
Least till SP1 for any of the applications. Just seen problems with SP1 for 1 of them. Thats usual, an MS major update throws curves into everything. Been seeing that since XP and takes a bit of time to get things adjusted theme integration, 3 commands or so which can be done so easily by anyone I am completely not impressed after this much time RT Seven Lite be the one to test and help Bensam iron out the bugs, it's doing closer to Vlite than any other -
How do I remove windows features/components?
maxXPsoft replied to biatche's topic in Unattended Windows 7/Server 2008R2
7 Lite is actually removing stuff where the .wim gets smaller with a benefit of lay down image being smaller and will fit easier on a dvd instead of needing a dual layer. SP1(Beta) for 7 s 1.2GB to start but thats X86 and X64 Disadvantage, If you remove instead of disabling then sometime in the future possibly a certain update is installed and crashes your whole system and your on all these forums saying WTH? when none of us realize you stripped it. Format C: /U Edit: Just saying if you have problems then return to what you used and post there. -

you did create the folder Dvd\sources\$OEM$\$1\APPSX86 and drop that file there? Then right after Win is laid down on drive that folder will appear
