yeah i been looking at yours to see if something is wrong but haven't seen it yet.

FireGeier's Guide covers it pretty well http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=95462 Audit pass is way too late and Firegier also used to have a Setdrivers cmd works as well. The Sata if missing needs done during boot.wim so the machine will boot.

if you Google that error the first thing pops up is msfn for me so look here http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...95462&st=20

perhaps you need to inject the drivers instead of having them in a driver folder be my guess. plenty of posts in this forum on that. With xp I have to (inject the XP way) my iaStor_ICH8R driver otherwise I have to do the F6 thing or it blue screens

it works but i have to figure out how to do something first so its better and safer If you have a value in the registry say its 15. its a DWORD How would I increment that in dos cmdline and the registry to be 16? I can do a query and I get <NO NAME> REG_DWORD 0x15 I think I can use a For and get last 2 characters into a variable but i'm not good with For No clue amit. I've not been playing with 64

heck i just autoit

Windows6.0-KB929327-x86.msu has to be injected into the install.wim I call a .cmd file and set my DREAMSCENE this way. Its first thing in this .cmd so when Vista loads desktop the DREAMSCENE is playing. Using FirstLogonCommands in my xml <settings pass="oobeSystem"> <FirstLogonCommands> <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <CommandLine>%systemdrive%\Install\FirstLogon.cmd</CommandLine> <Order>1</Order> <Description>FirstLogon</Description> </SynchronousCommand> </FirstLogonCommands> First Part of FirstLogon.cmd in sources\$oem$\$1\Install REM SETTING DREAMSCENE REG ADD "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v TileWallpaper /t REG_SZ /d 1 /f REG ADD "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v WallpaperStyle /t REG_SZ /d 0 /f REG ADD "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v WallPaper /t REG_SZ /d "%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows DreamScene\DreamScene.jpg" /f REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MotionDesktop" /v FilePath /t REG_SZ /d "%systemroot%\Web\Windows DreamScene\Bliss_Sunset.WMV" /f EDIT: To Stop a black background from appearing at first add this to your cmd file: CMD /C Move "%SystemRoot%\Web\Windows DreamScene\DreamScene.jpg" "%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows DreamScene" /Y CMD /C Move "%SystemRoot%\Web\Windows DreamScene\Img001.jpg" "%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows DreamScene" /Y CMD /C Attrib +H "%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows DreamScene\Img001.jpg"Don't know why that 1 file is set to Hidden, it just is. You must mount and copy your DreamScene files including the 2 .jpgs to the DVD\Windows\Web\Windows DreamScene Folder. Folder has to be created in the Install.wim. The 2 images are simply a still shot at correct resolution. Thats it, perfect startup on first load of desktop EDIT 11 April 2008: as added by amit_talkin With Vista SP1 you need to add this key and then it works on load of desktop. Just add into your Firstlogoncommands above all 1 line REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DreamScene" /v FilePath /t REG_SZ /d "%systemroot%\Web\Windows DreamScene\Bliss_Sunset.WMV" /f thats Blissfull Sunset playing there

good enough people shared diff ways to do it I do all that with my program so its really easy. I like some of those default ones but is the img24 the same for each .wim? I haven't looked at it. I know if you set something besides ultimate you get another wall. So what i'm asking is will it be img24 regardless? amit Dreamscene I'm working on myself but failed last time around but will tweak on it a bit and give her another try.

I call a .cmd file and set my Wallpaper this way. Its first thing in this .cmd so when Vista loads desktop the Wallpaper is set. Using FirstLogonCommands in my xml <settings pass="oobeSystem"> <FirstLogonCommands> <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <CommandLine>%systemdrive%\Install\FirstLogon.cmd</CommandLine> <Order>1</Order> <Description>FirstLogon</Description> </SynchronousCommand> </FirstLogonCommands> Part of FirstLogon.cmd in sources\$oem$\$1\Install REM SETTING WALLPAPER REG ADD "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v Wallpaper /t REG_SZ /d %systemroot%\Web\Wallpaper\BlissfullSunset.jpg /f REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General" /v Wallpaper /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d %%systemroot%%\Web\Wallpaper\BlissfullSunset.jpg /f REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General" /v BackupWallpaper /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d %%systemroot%%\Web\Wallpaper\BlissfullSunset.jpg /f Theres other ways to do this I'm sure but this is so simple. Before someone says it don't work last step is mount and add my Wallpaper folder into my install.wim in Windows\Web\Wallpaper

In XP i have these tweaks applied but im on a fresh install of Visrta right now and they are not applied and i can download from rapidshare no problem. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Download] "RunInvalidSignatures"=dword:00000001 "CheckExeSignatures"="no" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Associations] "LowRiskFileTypes"=".zip;.rar;.nfo;.txt;.exe;.bat;.com;.cmd;.reg;.msi;.htm;.html;.gif;.bmp;.jpg;.avi;.mpg;.mpeg;.mo ;.mp3;.m3u;.wav;.dat;.new"

I call it SecurityCenterShutup.reg and contains [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center] "AntiVirusDisableNotify"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center] "FirewallDisableNotify"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center] "UpdatesDisableNotify"=dword:00000001 That will get most of it.

What pass are you setting it in? Is it in oobeSystem or specialize Haven't seen that before, could try removing the <DefaultThemesOff> part Cause this is a little confusing true Specifies that the classic Windows visual style is displayed, instead of the default visual style. false Specifies that the default visual style is displayed.

Mine works behind Zone Alarm. Other than that it is an exe so your browser may be blocking you or the router. MD5 Installer: 4A9F0292233EF7B2ED6BBA60E7FA000F You are clicking the Free button?

@ruudboek So that at the first boot Vista asks for an product key? Now what part of that don't I understand? I try not to read stuff into what someone asks. If they ask more you say more. You can click and go and it will start asking later on, can't remember if at first boot but it will start asking. I think you have 3 days or 30 days but I don't do that so don't remember.

yes you can install without a key, just click and go at that screen without. The System Preparation (Sysprep) tool prepares an installation of Windows for duplication, auditing, and customer delivery. Duplication, also called imaging, enables you to capture a customized Windows image that you can reuse throughout an organization. So unless you're replicating this to 4 or more PC's its not worth it. From what you said Unattended is best bet.

NoCleanTaskbar where did you get that at? Ive looked through Unattend and waik.chm and don't see. I also Google it and only hit was your post here

1. <RegisteredOrganization /> <RegisteredOwner /> They are out of place as the belong right after the opening tag and the backslash goes in front <RegisteredOrganization>MaxXPsoft</RegisteredOrganization> <RegisteredOwner>Max</RegisteredOwner> 2. I get prompted after setup to choose either work or home You find the fix to that then let us know. 3. ProtectYourPC specifies whether to display the "Help protect your computer automatically" page of Windows Welcome to the user. There is no default value. If a value is not set, the page opens during Windows Welcome. Funny but I use a reg tweak to disable Auto updates otherwise they run on my builds If you enable SkipMachineOOBE, any settings specified for ProtectYourPC and NetworkLocation in your answer file are ignored.

I do it in oobeSystem and pre place the file in system32 and it works for me <Logo>D:\Windows\System32\oemlogo.bmp</Logo>

actually, most the tweaks from XP will work in Vista and there are the Vista things XP don't have Its almost like we need a list of XP won't work in Vista good start though amit
