Use an answer file on your install to put the OS into Audit Mode. You shouldn't be going through OOBE and then run sysprep. You uploaded the wrong Panther folder. Need to upload C:\Windows\Panther. @myselfdiem I had no errors in WSIM. I did modify the CLG path at the bottom to point to where my Enterprise install.wim was located. WSIM did give me errors if I try to open it against just a CLG file for Enterprise for whatever reason.

Some important things I've found... 1. Sims 2 is known to have problems on Intel video chipsets on notebooks? 2. Did you try just install Sims 2 and run it? Also some say you need to install all the mods in order. But EA support has some things you can try out too: http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/15/345112.page

Something is interfering with the install. Many people notice this error with an HP SmartStart. I don't know what that is tho. The answer file parses properly! How did you make it? Are you using MDT? How do you do your install, is it from a DVD or from a server? Do you boot into Audit Mode using an answer file and then run sysprep /unattend? Anyways, we'd like to see the setuperr.log from either/both of the Panther folders.

MSFN is based in the US, and because of that we try not to talk about anything relating to bypassing activation and/or WGA even if your specific use isn't that specifically OR its legal where you are.

Focus - Hocus Pocus

PHP or ASP.NET might be a good start. C# is an idea too. The front-end will just be HTML of course. I'd stay away from Java unless this will be an intranet site where you can contol the plug-ins that will be on the client.

DirectX is like .NET Framework. Just because you have a higher version installed doesn't mean you have the correct version. Install DirectX 9.0c onto your PC with DirextX End-User Runtime Web Installer or you can find the full download somewhere. Even there might be the DirectX 9.0c redist on your Sims 2 media.

You can't inject the standard ATI INFs with DISM because the INF will try to install CCC, Display Switch or something else. Read the INF to see, DISM can't install a program. Windows can expand the files in the INF that allows a program to be installed. If you want to ATI or nVidia (besides SMUC) you need custom drivers.

Its definately possible... There is a topic around here about it but I can't find it. Might be in the Vista section. Have you already tried to change the name with Imagex /info ?

Have you tried running with Aero disabled? I initially had problems with my computer at work (graphic distortions) with Aero enabled but haven't had a problem with it disabled.

Make sure that you are not applying your settings in an Unattend that is set its Reseal setting to Audit. If so, all those customizations end up being applied to the Administrator account only! Once you sysprep, those settings "seem" to disappear, since the account you create and log in with doesn't have them. If you were to enable the Administrator account and log in with it, you will see those settings. So what needs to be done is those settings must only be applied during OOBE, or use registry keys to set those settings to the Default or All Users accounts.

I seem to remember always having to install languages with Office or are these something different?

I don't think this is the desktop version, but the mobile version. Anyways, this is more "news" than "general discussion" so I'll put that over there!

This may not necessarily be an nLite question. We have another section that deals with changing the setup billboards. Check some of the stickies here: http://www.msfn.org/board/forum/92-setup-billboard-screens-for-windows/

And what about bootdisk.com They have a bunch of them.

Did you see the Unattend Guide link above this forum? Here is a link too: http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/7/

I haven't turned mine on in awhile, but here is the latest pic of mine running Windowblinds and transparencies.

I have seen on some sites that GPT Disks are not supported in DOS and Win9x. Is there some technical limitation in those OSes that cannot be patched to support GPT?

I didn't want to point out this quote so much in Wikipedia (it should have a citation needed tag for sure) but it may have something to do with all of this. I couldn't find any sort of documentation to confirm the facts about these two statements.

You came to the right place then! We have an nLite forum too: http://www.msfn.org/board/forum/89-nlite/

First a quick guide on how to build a PE. This one by Iceman is one of the best:

Things seem to get messy when you mix Linux with Windows. I've had a little experience with it, but so far I can use PXELinux to boot to WDS or (start) to install an OS sitting on IIS website... And the syntax for it was different than your example.

Yeah sorry I usually link to the Vista definition on TechNet. For some reason it always comes up first on the search results, but it only links to the Vista info. That's why Win7 didn't appear in the matrix. But Vista and 7 use 98% of the same Unattend values, I just keep it simple on myself. Check here for a starter on Gadgets.

Maybe UXTheme? I've used custom themes before and never had to rely on the uxtheme patch, but I see a lot of people on the boards talk about it.
