No but i'm working on it cause I don't care for their new method btw heres how to enable http://veegertx.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=956

'%InstalDrive%' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. %systemdrive%\Install

40 GB is good depends if you are going to dual boot which I done for awhile, Seven is solid so I don't anymore and we have almost a year to play with this RC Yes use the Vista drivers but Seven is a lot more efficient with drivers than any other version. I have a X-Fi extremegamer it don't like so I inject that driver so can play my music while it installs the other apps

yes 98% of whats in the UA Vista forum here on msfn is same for Seven. This forum is for the new stuff we trying to figure out.

64 for what? what program on this planet do i need that only run's 64? Autocad, Rockwell, My Rock and Roll ain't on that list. This 32 Seven sings on my junky PC although I can go 64 also but why should I? I d/l both and we have a year almost to play with this RC but I'll probably break before then and buy, Seven yes but Vista No yeah since i posted that I been trying to figure it out myself did do a workaround where when desk loads in Audituser I elevate a command prompt and run a cmd file. think thats correct now how do you get an elevated cmd prompt on the image, still toying with that RCfix.txt

CRAP http://support.microsoft.com/kb/970789 In the English version of Windows 7 Release Candidate (build 7100) 32-bit Ultimate, the folder that is created as the root folder of the system drive (%SystemDrive%) is missing entries in its security descriptor. One effect of this problem is that standard users such as non-administrators cannot perform all operations to subfolders that are created directly under the root. Therefore, applications that reference folders under the root may not install successfully or may not uninstall successfully. Additionally, operations or applications that reference these folders may fail. WORKAROUND If you want to manually apply a fix that replicates the functionality of the hotfix, run the following command from an elevated command prompt: Can't get it to paste right here

Don't think theres a way to do partitions in XPLook at my app in my sig for XP, it integrates drivers as long as they are .inf based. It will also do Fox, Tbird and 4-500 more applications. Build the CD/DVD one time and you have it. Done that years ago starting with XP and keep updating and now doing same with Vista/Seven

100% agree shahed26 disappointment the Vista SP2

imageX is just a compatibility app which calls DISM, so it can't be faster Perhaps you don't understand. I am using my one application that I am running and creating Win 7 dvd's on XP, Vista and from Seven so I see all the different things. I am still in debug mode right now and trying to find the things that work and don't work You can mount with imagex and then call dism if you want.

Lord Wolf, building post count. I now highly advise against extending the System Reserved partition now. With 7100 it's only 100mb. I started having strange things happen and was taking longer to boot. Also noticed strange colored dots on screen I assume was chkdsk running or something. Longer it took more dots. Every boot. Redone drives and no more problems or dots

I didn't even read that but just done same thing Created 1 drive and it auto made a 100mb System reserved. Just playing i delete other drive and extended the System reserved to take whole drive. keep reading some bios may need that partition

DOS Format command. This takes a while excuse me this is the 20th century Create an xml and drop on root of dvd or better yet on a floppy/usb stick so can modify if need to on another PC Thats Seven beta key so don't matter This is just my windowsPE pass. It starts the Seven7 install and then stops and lets you select the partitions and Format the one with Full NTFS for the Seven or whatever else you wanna do. Create a second partition for the dual boot or whatever Unattended is not just for the format, reinstall, format reinstall hype. Its for setting your Disk up the way you want it to be. You can make it simple or do extended stuff like I do but that's only for the challenge.

From latest and greatest unattend.chm I still use $OEM$ folders cause it's second nature since started doing this back with XP. Using my UA App to just copy things to appropriate folder then as far as SEVEN, mount image and move/copy everything where it need's to be. simple... no extra work and all is contained within 1 .wim

runoncex can still be used in Vista and I'm doing it with Win Seven also

I learned a long time ago if you don't want the noise/problems do not upgrade. Don't Upgrade to XP - Install Like Full Version Thats an upgrade to XP and Vista and beyond don't use the winnt.sif

is your machine an oem like Dell, HP? You click their support site and plug in your ID # and go to a page like this. http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/...n&TabIndex= Lots of PC's were built with this asset # so not that big a deal. Not that hard to update Bios these day's when can actually be done within Windows. If yours non OEM then it becomes trouble finding correct upgrades.

don't know why the sidebar in wrong place SidebarVisible Deprecated. Do not use. so leave that out and try just the <SidebaronByDefault>false</SidebaronByDefault> In my sig and still works for Seven Wallpaper

Setupcomplete.cmd runs right before Load GUI Desktop which for me has been OOBE and can be used to complete Final Steps The thing before Specialize is WindowsPE and not sure you can get anything to fire off there besides driver stuff

Setupcomplete.cmd runs right before Load Desktop(No GUI) and can be used to complete Final Steps Note: Commands in the Setupcomplete.cmd file are executed with local system privilege. FirstLogonCommands http://www.msfn.org/board/FirstLogonComman...p;hl=Dreamscene I delay starting something if I want to see it, takes about 1 1/2 mins here for GUI to load Cleanup.cmd can be run as a final thing with reboot the PC in it. I call cleanup as last step but thats with my App

In my Sig FirstLogonCommandsRuns without the UAC EDIT: BTW, I mount my image and move Install folder to root of Image so when Image is laid down the Install becomes C:\Install, D:\Install or whatever drive is selected. Thats easiest for me cause I don't have to do the For loop, just call %systemdrive%\Install\any.cmd, reg, vbs
