You might need to run Outlook as elevated. I researched this error and it appears when Outlook can't do something its trying to do, similar to an access denied, port not open, etc.

Well not seeing a picture, but here are my questions: 1. How much RAM on the Technician PC? 2. What is the file size of the WIM? 3. What compression type did you use when creating the WIM?

Your local spellchecker here for you! On page 13, your 2 partition diskpart script, you have the second partition (the one with E: ) to get drive label="CDRIVE" the same as the first partition which actually is the C drive! However as an alternate script to deal with the CD-ROM drive letter being there, you could also do this: sel vol d assign letter=e As with deploying a stored Windows 7 image, you do not need to give the system reserved a drive letter. Since a Windows 7 WIM is stored sysprepped, it will automatically take care of the System Reserved partition on reboot. So a good scenario to redeploy a Windows 7 image would be to NOT assign a letter to the system reserved partition, and make the OS volume get the C drive. Also, the OS volume should be active, not the system reserved partition. But obviously your example will put a System Reserved partition and the rest of the drive a Logical Volume... Can Windows boot from a Logical Volume? Here is my (modified) Windows 7 example: sel disk 0 clean create part pri size=5000 format fs=ntfs quick label="system" create part pri sel part 2 active format fs=ntfs quick label="OS" assign letter=c exit A couple notes. After creating the first partition, you do not need to do "SEL PART 1" because it will be selected automatically. This is only for the first partition. If you do a LIST PART after creating the partition, you can see it is going to be selected already.

Nero doesn't make a shortcut either... You can create shortcuts in C:\Users\Public\Desktop for them to appear after setup.

.NET Framework support is not included in WinPE by default. There have been some projects that have gotten it to work, notably:

I'm sure if you validated your XML in WSIM you would have an error. This for example: <ProductKey> <WillShowUI>Never</WillShowUI> <Key>xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx </ProductKey> However, this might be because you copypasta your XML into the post. You should attach your XML to your post sans product key.

That's usually normal for an on-board graphics chipset to do. It doesn't always work but its supposed to. Does your AGP card only have 1 video out?

Yes that is the correct link.

So what error(s) are you getting?

Your English isn't so bad. I've seen worse even from people where English is their primary language!

At first thought, I would want to do this, since I'm already deploying both. Then again maybe not because I bet this covers the info on Technet, which is totally different than what I do.

I don't think CS4 makes a shortcut on the desktop by default. I've installed it twice and did not get icons. You should look to see if there are any switches, or if you can define a custom ISS (if IS) to get icons to show up.

In the future, remember to attach your unattend.xml instead of copypasta from IE. What option did you choose to attach the XML file to? I don't think this XML will work if attached to the install image.

It is definately possible, but all the things you listed are possible to do with the unattend file.

You should be able to find all your answers here!

I probably have more than 98 copies of Windows floating around here... No I could think about using Windows 2000 again, but all these computers need to be relatively up to date, as far as OSes go. Then again, I don't have the time for that either.

They took out that option in Windows 7, but made up for it with DreamScene (sic) and Gadgets, I guess. But I'd rather have Active Desktop back. I used to just have a Megaman animated GIF on my taskbar.

Do what you can to stay in the forum.

When this happens for me it is usually because either a) you need to update chipset drivers or B) the image was made on different hardware and updating chipset drivers fixes it.

XP images in WIM format are not servicable in any version of the WAIK. You can only do offline servicing (such as driver injection) with Vista, 7 and 2008 images.

How are you installing the programs? Are you using a script?
