Mind sharing what your smoking there dude Don't ever, ever, ever think its over cause Vista already been hacked and cracked beyond recognition. They gonna find a way into your aphrodisiac world, trust me. Its up to you to protect yourself in this WWW, best be smart and stay on your toes and give up that virtual world you living in and use the stuff intended to keep the critters away. Just saying it don't hurt to be ready then nothing at all except MS cause as most smart people know, MS is too big so a better target Regardless of what you use. This was a post about a really good Free AV that works with Vista. Which FYI used to be Free. Yep, they get too big for their britches and then they want to charge for it. We'll see if Avast remains alive or is forever free Use what you want but make your own **** post

not if you using <FirstLogonCommands> cause thats like disabling the UAC during that cmd/exe or script but once it stops you don't have the power anymore. I usually delay about a minute before my desk fully loads, of course that will vary. Reason I get those desktop.ini on desk is setting view all files, includes sys, hidden. Then theres 2 on desk and I just manually delete

haven't tried that yet as I'm havin fits with my sata/raid on new PC but i think I have a plan to cure that soon. I'd thought Vista would recognize the Satas out there.

theres one pinned above but will have to mod it for you. Get the waik and that helps

Are you running as an Admin? or is that a reg tweak disabling UAC is not applied till after reboot? Or is that acctually Firstlogoncommands which run as the Admin

and yes you can remove the dir it copies with a command but as pointed out, Its all over the registry when this happens with a DVD install

Will test here in about an hour or 2 but glad I read that first.

last attempt earlier this morning I tried the startnet.cmd but done it backwards from what you attempted. set the wpeinit first and it failed I didn't call a cmd only the variable initialization was about to reverse my actions and urie pointed me to this, will try with different approach Did all your drivers Install with that?

kewl worth a shot jus for tests and those don't have the 512

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=92112 what you mean already? don't know, will have to see Let me see, replace the setup.exe and do a reboot and put back original Think thats already been done hasn't it? Quite awhile back to do the drivers thing with XP wasn't it. If there is a will then there is a way , it will be done. http://img105.imageshack.us/my.php?image=9070fe2.jpg Thats only for tests BTW, In no way would I want to run Vista with that amount, I'd think it would suck without heavy modding.

Wanted to mention I did the inject with same results where only get a partial from the drivers. Theres something we're missing somewhere somehow. been settin up my new pc so now I can get back to figuring it out since i moved the Nvidia PCI-E into this new one

might say at least yet someone will discover how eventually

IBS Callback_WinPE_SetSourceMediaInfo:Sources folder path is [F:\Sources] but no combo of %sources% worked, I crashed and sat there and tried every environment I can think of.. I'll look at the registry once again next try later today

Lets get away from that because configsetroot don't work cause it copies the whole dvd down to the windir, Yes all of us been fighting this awhile till the configsetroot thing which turned out no good 1 thing I do is mountrw the boot.wim and put the drivers in there and unmount/export then all you need is the X:\sources\pnpdrivers during PE for BOOT critical drivers which means the drivers Vista don't have, i only have 3 at this time so I add all 4 of them regardless I personally choose to add the full X path for each of my drivers X:\sources\pnpdrivers\1 X:\sources\pnpdrivers\2 You can see from the log file it parses each dir which to me is better than risk a mistake on X:\sources\pnpdrivers Now the bad part, I'm not sure exactly when or I do know its after it reboots, X no longer exists, so now you need a FULL path to dvd\sources\pnpdrivers. I've been trying to get around this FULL Path as everyone but, might note if FULL Path is included in the Microsoft-Windows-PnpCustomizationsWinPE then all drivers appear to be installed at booting desktop I've had some mixed results with my Vid card having it's basic drivers installed but not the Nvidia Ctrl Panel in Display properties. Thats after about maybe 15 tests just over this past weekend searching for the %variable% will put us in paydirt MS left us out in the cold on this one but they lack to understand, if they missed dotting 1 i I will or someone will figure this out.

shortie 2 things i would delete from PE LogPath PageFile D usually don't exist during PE since its all in memory at that point. If thats the target drive then its about to be formatted Logs, look in systemdrive\Windows\panther folder after its installed also Language Pack is not right, should be <package action="configure"> <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft-Windows-Client-LanguagePack-Package" version="6.0.6000.16386" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="de-DE" />

from unattend.chm How true the Note is I don't knowI'm sure there may be a way but just not discovered yet that I know of. Don't worry, we all new to this even after a year of jacking with it

what attached xml? I've only seen a few times when I had the<component name="Microsoft-Windows-PnpCustomizationsNonWinPE" and its not right.

Did you test that FireGeier? don't work for me.

this might help although it will still be there it doesn't default there after running it. regsvr32 /u /s mydocs.dll I think actually all that My Docs mess was intended for the not so savvy users who don't know what Windows Explorer is. I totally agree as far as keep your stuff on a separate drive and have all the programs save there instead. Makes for a good backup if you was to reinstall Doze just set the apps back to there again.

http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsVista...3.mspx?mfr=true blows the whole configsetroot out of the water for putting on the dvd. Probably ok if you copied your drivers and xml to a usb stick

Got this here at msfn but buried somewhere so won't even look can add to your runoncex to execute it. Works for me LANIconShow.cmd REM @ECHO OFF SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION FOR /F "TOKENS=1 DELIMS= " %%A IN ('REG QUERY HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}') DO ( SET TEMP1=%%A SET TEMP2=!TEMP1:~99,38! SET TEMP3=!TEMP2:~-1! IF "!TEMP3!"=="}" ( IF NOT "!TEMP2!"=="{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}" ( SET REGSTR1=HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\!TEMP2!\Connection SET REGSTR2=HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\!TEMP2! REG ADD !REGSTR1! /v ShowIcon /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f REG ADD !REGSTR2! /v IPAutoconfigurationEnabled /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f ) ) ) EXIT

Yep guess should have said <FirstLogonCommands> which does contain the <SynchronousCommand where i run my FirstLogon.cmd

jamieo for all pratical purposes this FirstLogonCommands replaces the Runoncex All with no popups or annoying junk. FirstLogonCommands run's with Full Admin privleges. nothing confusing there I do create a user in Admin group which it run's under so apps are installed to my account. Thats under <UserAccounts> in oobesystem which executes before the Firstlogon I use FirstLogonCommands to call a cmd file which 1. does my Quicklaunch. visible when desk loads 2. starts my music playing, need my Rock and Roll 3. executes my App installer to install 60 apps. It calls cleanup at the end which does the shutdown and reboot <FirstLogonCommands> <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <CommandLine>%systemdrive%\Install\FirstLogon.cmd</CommandLine> <Order>1</Order> <Description>FirstLogon</Description> </SynchronousCommand> </FirstLogonCommands> BTW The last command in it was to call my App Installer, If I stop and exit it for any reason all bets are off. Restarting then the UAC kicks in and starts the popups 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.

jamieo http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=90863 I'll separate to leave this
