You can also use VBS for your functions, and build your GUI as an HTA, as is done with this project: http://www.msfn.org/board/imagex-hta-win-p...64-t138048.html http://www.msfn.org/board/18-t97512.html

There are walkthroughs here to create WinRE using the WAIK: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library...28WS.10%29.aspx Unfortunately, OPK methods use NDA (non-disclosure agreement) restrictions which means they are not to be openly shared with the public. The WAIK instructions should work with an OPK build. Otherwise, if you are experiencing problems specific to the OPK instructions, you should contact your TAM or Microsoft Rep to acquire the correct help.

Most likely you are using a .NET library in your build. Windows PE does not support the .NET Framework. Copy Depends into your PE image, then run Depends on your app. I bet you will find you are missing some DLLs that are part of .NET. Also, tell us what architecture your app is compiled for, and also the arch of the PE build.

I have seen this avatar somewhere before... I know it.

There are a few notebooks companies that offer barebone builds, including MSI and Uniwill. There are probably more but those are the ones I know of. Otherwise, as far as license trades go, this isn't the forum for it.

Windows PE has some distribution rules. Make sure you read the docs for WAIK or OPK Tools before considering putting Win PE 3.0 on any of these computers to safeguard your company against possible EULA violations.

FYI, Firewall is enabled by default in WinPE 2.x as well.

Also, if you are using XP or higher, some folders may actually appear "empty" but also contain a hidden system file called desktop.ini.

Wow that's worse than SecuROM!

Sorry, those switches didn't work either. We can't install Nero with a CD Key in it already. We are not using your standard version, using Nero 9 Essentials Suite 3, which is an OEM version. Here is the behaviour seen with those instructions on Win7: If run normally, it either said it couldn't find setupx.exe OR crashed and wrote its Fault Bucket in Event Viewer. If run as Administrator, Setupx.exe would open, but acted the same as if you just double-click it to open. We have sent an email to Nero support, if they are able to answer the questions, I might be able to post the fix here.

I am using a modified script of my Nero 8 silent installer, which works fine. I had to add in the extra items, like ImagXpress and Nero Product Patcher. @echo off title Nero 9 Essentials Ste 3 echo. echo Nero XML... start /wait unit_tpi_msxml-4\neroxml.msi /passive /norestart echo. echo VCR... start /wait unit_tpi_vcredist-x86-2005_KB973544\vcredist.msi /passive /norestart echo. echo ImageXpress... start /wait unit_tpi_imagxpress-7.0.74.0\imagXpress.msi /passive /norestart echo. echo Updating DirectX 9c Redistributable... start /wait unit_tpi_directx-9c-redist-d3dx9-30\dxsetup.exe /silent echo. echo Nero Product Patcher... start /wait unit_tpi_NeroProductPatcher_85531\Nero_Product_Patcher_TT85531.msi /passive /norestart echo. echo Installing Nero 9 Essentials... start /wait SetupX.exe /qb! /l*v "c:\windows\NeroSetupLog.txt" NSC_OPT="FALSE" NSC_DEFAULT_OFF="TRUE" The following do NOT work: ImagXpress: an error shows up in Event Viewer: ImagXpress.msi cannot be executed, run Setup instead. SetupX: This just closes altogether. It also doesn't even write the log file. Now the code in there is for Nero8 installer, so things might have changed. Any ideas?

No need to close the topic. Someday someone may find it useful or have a similar problem and use this thread. Good to see your computer is working again.

I'm pretty sure you can't pull that XML out of the WIM like that. You need to write a program or script to make changes to the XML while it is still in the WIM. Refer to this thread for an idea: http://www.msfn.org/board/wim-xml-descript...ng-t117040.html

I do not have anything actively installed, but I keep the following on hand for virus/malware combat: - Process Explorer - Process Monitor - Gmer - MalwareBytes - Regedit - NTFSDOS - CACLS - ATTRIB - CCleaner - Combofix - Windows PE (Vista SP1 Servicing Build) Also, refer to this thread for more tools: http://www.msfn.org/board/2-t128219.html

You are getting this during an install yes? However, what you can do is boot your VHD another way, like using PE or NTFSDOS, then go an check the files in Windows\Panther. You can see setupact and setuperr there which may have errors listed inside that may explain why your install failed.

You know, I didn't even think of that. I installed LeechFTP, which we can probably consider to be a non-well written app. It did not turn of the DWM like Fireworks did. LeechFTP, fyi, was haulted in development sometime during its localisation from German to English. Its a fully functioning app and I've been using it for years, but some dialog boxes/messages are in German.

Do your Unattends pass validation in WSIM?

Yeah Vista, lol. I've deployed it probably 1000 times but have only actually used it in Audit Mode. I forgot for a moment that some of these things may not have been new since I hadn't used Vista much. I don't think the Aero behaviour is big enough to write up an email about it. So far I haven't had any issues with Windows 7, just curiosities about the behaviour. Thanks for the response!

Well I've just got Windows 7 Pro installed here at work and I'm trying to get used to it. The explorer is kinda weird, but I like how the taskbar works. There are some functional differences and oddities maybe you guys know what can be done. First, a question about the taskbar. I pinned the CMD to it, with the idea I can easily launch an elevated prompt from there. But if I right click, I get a menu that has CMD and then Unpin this program. So then I have to right-click on the CMD in that menu to run as Administrator. Is it possible to add Run As Administrator into that menu so I don't have to click twice? Second, I use a dual display (extended) setup. If I lock the workstation (Windows + L) the lock message only shows up on the primary monitor, and the secondary monitor turns black. The second monitor does not go into power save either, as the light is still green. In other versions of Windows, if you have 2 screens and lock the workstation, the second monitor would stay active and you would see the wallpaper or whatever on there. Is there a setting that lets me do this? My computer has a Radeon X1800 and has the CCC installed. And lastly, when I open some programs (like Fireworks MX 2004 demo) the Aero turns off. I am guessing that program does not support Aero, but is there a way to not use Aero on that app and keep it on everywhere else? That's it for now.

I finally got my new workstation and it has Windows 7 installed. I remember during my pre-release training for 7, the speaker said that in 7, you can have the taskbar go the length of all the desktops. Meaning if you have 2 or more displays, the taskbar will extend. How do I enable this feature? There does not seem to be anything in the taskbar properties.

MobyGames, a user-based game listing site, shows that Tetravex was only available in 1991 from Microsoft for PC. To my knowledge, no MS games have ever become abandonware. However, it is available as a GNOME app. Infos: http://www.mobygames.com/game/win3x/tetravex http://live.gnome.org/Tetravex

This one: Is a DDR2 800 SO-DIMM. The other one, if used, will underclock the 2GB stick. Your best bet is to find another 2GB DDR2 800MHz SO-DIMM, preferably by Samsung as well.
