Yes you can have multiple images in the same WIM file. I have not seen this type of behaviour before. Of course the first thing I do when I need to troubleshoot the HTA (or any custom program I put in there) is to open the command prompt and manually run the commands. This way we can see if it is a problem with the code or something else. So in your case, on your server you want to get the image index value (makes things easier) and make note. So then in the command prompt in the HTA, you would do something like this: diskpart /s diskpart.txt OR diskpart /s misc/diskpart.txt I have moved my file, but I think there is one in MISC still. Then: imagex /apply z:\images\image.wim 2 c: When it is done, do a reboot and see how it goes. Alternatively, you could inspect the folders with Notepad after the normal deployment. NOTE: Notepad will only see *.txt files and it may appear these folders are empty until you change the type to All Files.

Also of note, this does not work, and you end up with the default Aero theme: <ThemeName>C:\Windows\resources\Ease of Access Themes\classic.theme</ThemeName> However, the only way to get this theme after install is to use this: <DefaultThemesOff>true</DefaultThemesOff> I haven't found a way to actually get one of the pre-installed themes to work, although in this case, using the second setting is fine for me.

Is this for normal use or are you making an install that boots to the desktop without having to log in manually?

Also, there are two places you can put the locale info in, WinPE and also OOBE. That is because there are 2 places it can prompt you for locale, at the beginning of Windows Setup and then during OOBE. So try putting this in there: <settings pass="oobeSystem"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <InputLocale>0409:00000409</InputLocale> <SystemLocale>en-us</SystemLocale> <UILanguage>en-us</UILanguage> <UserLocale>en-us</UserLocale> </component> </settings> Obviously this is for US English, so change it appropriately. Also make sure not to copy the settings nodes, just put that in there for reference.

The CHM typically shows you the Windows 7 value, but in the end the placement of Unattend objects are dictated by the CLG file you used. I've found it not possible to disable LUA on Windows Web Server 2008 for example. The CLG does not let you use that setting. You can try manually putting it in and see if it works, but it may not be supported if you try to use it that way.

Ok I was not aware of that program then. Anyways, why not just use Windows to figure out what the error is? Use the F8 menu and choose Disable Automatic restart on system failure. Then start Windows normally. You will be able to see the stop error.

Hiren's Boot CD is warez. We cannot help you with that as it is against the forum rules.

I might be "un-solving" this one. Is there a way to choose a background COLOR instead of a picture? For example, I can select to use the Windows Classic theme, but the background color is azure. What if I wanted that to be black instead?

I'm not sure how to get the description out of the XML. I didn't write either the original nor modified XML code. For your other project, you are going to have to code it in VBScript in the HTA itself. If you are getting errors or not sure how to approach that, make a post here: http://www.msfn.org/board/forum/66-programming-c-delphi-vbvbs-cmdbatch-etc/

Welcome to the MSFN! I removed your email address. Its not a good idea to put it on a forum unless you want to get a lot of spam. If someone wants to contact you, they can use the PM system. This question may be better suited in the Hardware Hangout. Most of our technical members do not go to this section.

Ah, well by "lame" I am referring to buying a standard consumer router off the shelf at the electronics store. I would never expect a stock D-Link or Linksys router to even compare properly to enterprise class hardware. And yes, DD-WRT definately made my $40 D-Link router not be lame anymore, even so I had to look up a bunch of stuff online to figure out what all those new settings were for!

I used to use this board, but only had a 160GB as my largest drive. I checked the BIOS release notes and it doesn't appear that any of the updates specifically mention this problem. It shouldn't hurt to update the BIOS anyways, and try changing the SATA setting in the BIOS. IIRC you should have options of Native or Enhanced. Latest BIOS update here: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=10130&ProdId=948〈=eng

Is Steady State different than the RAM-Overlay option in the Embedded products?

I agree. I use two boot images as well just for this reason.

For Windows Updates, look up ProtectYourPC object in OOBE. Even though you have 4 or 5 actual choices in the OS, there are only 3 in unattend. You probably are going to use 1 or 2. Option 3 disables Updates. It is hard for us to make use of an unattend file pasted into a post. Make sure to attach it as a file and DO NOT put any of your product key in there. Use all X like I changed it to, or use one of the public/non-activating keys.

I got a parse error with this line. It works with 1 or 0 = but not with two.

hmmm spaces between words but not punctuation? I hope you are not a bot!

Presuming you aren't going to start posting cool sites... Welcome to the MSFN! I deleted your duplicate topics.

I never tried to run programs with NTFSDOS. Again you come through with the answer!

Did you look in the Panther logs or UnattendGC to see if there is an error? It could be that Windows was not in the proper state to run xcopy when you called it.

Its definately possible and there are numerous ways to do it. The only way I've gotten a "web page" to do something on a local system was using Flash. You can also do it with HTML/JavaScript presuming you can change some registry keys beforehand. I originally had tried to make programs with HTML but found Flash to be easier to use.

Wouldn't it be easier to shorten member names? Hallo, Trip jaclaz Are we in some crazy time where 1280x1024 is too low? Actually, I posted this at work where my screen resolution is 1280x3840 I think... I'll have to check. Anyways it works now. obligatory jaclaz smiley:

DD-WRT is for lame routers. If I drop some good dimes on a router I would expect it to work properly without using hacks.
