I'm trying to figure out how to do a silent install of a program called LockIndicator. Main DL page: http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT780DX.html#/?div=Utility&os=All Link to DL: http://www.msi.com/service/download/utility-17253.html The installer is InstallShield12, but seems to be built inside of a web-installed called OCI or One-Click-Installer. It does not appear to accept any switches. Anytime a switch is used, Setup opens, extracts everything, and then exits. If you run the setup normally, the program installs and works. I've tried with both the main setup, and also the one that gets extracted into the Temp folder. Neither of these setups seem to accept switches. Being connected to the internet doesn't seem to have anything to do with it. It won't install using a switch, but will if using the GUI. Have you ever seen an installer like this?

While that is true, the public version does retain some of the functionality of the OEM version whereas if you install it in Audit Mode, it will run its own OOBE after sysprep /oobe is run on Windows.

It varies by manufacturer. Some have a cable that has similar connectors on both ends. There may be a small PCB where your ports are, and also may have AV jacks on it too. I know Chenbro and Inwin FP aren't held in by glue, but you'd have to take your front cover off to see how yours is. They may also be held in with plastic clips. Here is an example one from a desktop system: And here it is disconnected, connectors at bottom and the actual panel I put in the empty bay. Its all I had since the cables were tied up.

Setup can install it, but if your captured image used /unattend switch with sysprep, the answer file is ignored. Your image (after setup) will boot to OOBE and all settings that would normally be done during sysprep first boot (Specialize, oobeSystem) are ignored.

I read each of your posts in this thread. I agree with allen, I have no response because, while I do set up and maintain various Server 2008R2 systems, I have no particular experience with what your project has become.

For syntax highlighting, SciTE supports a lot of languages: The # means it is commented out. This is located in the SciTEGlobal.properties file. I had to edit mine (on another PC) when I wanted to use SciTE for website editing, but my UltraEdit key couldn't be used because I already have it installed at home.

What's the dumbest thing to a PC you've ever done?
Tripredacus replied to vipejc's topic in Hardware Hangout
This reminds me of something dumb but I didn't do it, but I did get to fix it. At my old company, we had a file server set up where the IT dept got to put files. This was not on the domain network at the time as we had two networks (and two internet connections). One was for sales and the outward facing servers, the other was for the tech department PC and the deployment network. At some point we decided to redo the network and move this file server onto the domain. So we hooked a monitor up to it and booted it up to join it to the domain. Well that's when we discovered the problem. The original user account that it was set up with didn't exist, and the default one was suffixed with "II" ... so we couldn't log into it. After we got into the OS, a horrible truth was discovered.... This particular PC (being headless) had been running as an Unreal Tournament dedicated server for at least 5 years! After all the data was backed up, we wiped it out and reloaded it, and put all the data back. Since I was in charge of naming the servers in the tech department, I wrote up a survey with a list of possible names and passed it out. When I collected all the results, the new name became "Redeemer" which was appropriate considering the prior circumstances. -
The big difference between the two options is that if you use winpeshl.ini, you don't get the command prompt. This is a much better option if you don't want the end-user to have access to the prompt, say if you were making a recovery partition.

No network connection
Tripredacus replied to richard's topic in Unattended Windows Vista/Server 2008
Check your Device Manager! Either you may not have the network driver installed, or sometimes the stock Vista drivers do not work very well. -
The problem with using something like Driver Magician, is that it doesn't grab the programs, just whatever files are referenced by the INF. In cases where the drivers alone are not enough, I have my deployments scripted to install the appropriate software. I only have to do this for Notebooks and motherboards with ATI or nVidia graphics.

Matt Uelmen - Siege You may know this as being music from Diablo II, in the Lord of Destruction expansion, it is when you need to go destroy the catapults in Act 5. Wow I miss playing that game a little.

DIVx/diihost.exe/Comm Surrogate has stopped working
Tripredacus replied to cary303's topic in Software Hangout
Edit your posts instead of making a new one (where possible) if you have had no replies within 24 hours. Did you do what MagicAndre recommended? -
Alec Empire - La Guerre D'Opium Some of Alec Empire's instrumental albums remind me of the background music in old black and white horror movies. Goes good with Halloween coming up.

costum restore executeable x64

It would be easier to put it up someplace that has free hosting like SkyDrive. -
Post the commands you are using and the full error message reported by DISM.

Another reason is because a lot of companies still use out-dated software. They become to reliant on it that the prospect of changing to a newer OS that may not support it is a big problem. Especially if they have to get a newer version, or even have it rewritten. The healthcare and accounting/banking software is known for this for sure. A lot of companies still rely on terminal emulators (such as Hummingbird) to connect to databases too.

I can't see why. -
Its too early to tell about this. The Dev Preview didn't have anything to build a system like that.

Problem with nic driver on my boot.wim
Tripredacus replied to zeezam's topic in Unattended Windows 7/Server 2008R2
Both 32bit and 64bit drivers are here: http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT683.html#/?div=Driver&os=All Use the appropriate driver for your WinPE architecture. if you don't know which driver to use, search for the HwID of your NIC in the file contents to find the correct INF. -
autounattend.xml not working
Tripredacus replied to chameleon's topic in Unattended Windows 7/Server 2008R2
The documentation I have doesn't list en-GB as an option for that, which is probably why people have a problem using it. The only English option is en-US. Language Pack Default Values It appears that en-GB is a valid value for all the other locale settings except UILanguage. You may need to do a reg key to make the change you need during FirstLogonCommands or SetupComplete.cmd. -
Is this printer physically connected to a computer or is it just connected to the network?
