dll32

It was the NetBT service! I probably mistook the service in thought that it was the tcp netbios helper service witch I know i do not need. Very appreciated! Anyway, shouldn't nlite give some kind of information about this when I have "DHCP functionality" checked? Or isn't services checked for compatibility at all? And yes, the virtual machine has a network card

I can't detect the source of this problem, realy irritating! And I have the "DHCP functionality" checked in the compatibility window, so it should work. I'm using a swedish source with sp3 slipstreamed (not slipstreamed with nlite). And haven't had any problems with it before. Tested in the newest version of virtualbox (2.0.4). Help is really appreciated Last_Session.ini

I can't get swedish to work, it just restarts when I enter the language...

Fast one here: how to use "Tweaked" when integrating with nLite? If it's possible...

I would recommend Virtual CloneDrive, it's freeware too, and works realy good I think it's a bit faster than DeamonTools, and it can associate ISOs so you can open them directly. Hope you like it!

Here you go Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ; Automatic logon for Windows. ; Replace InsertName value with the Username you want to autologin with. ; Replace InsertPassword value with the password corresponding to the Username specified. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "DefaultUserName"="InsertName" "DefaultPassword"="InsertPassword" "AutoAdminLogon"="1"

This is "setup.ini" BootOption is in "setup.iss"

Sorry about that then I must have missed that when I tested it! Anyway, now i know how to do it myself, what good that might be for...

You shouldn't have any problems if you know how to handle a virtual environment

Great guide! I just thought it would be nice to share my idea that just struck me. I needed my addon to get a smaller final size to fit in my XPCD. My Office CD is in swedish so I couldn't use the "office shrinker". Here's what I did: 1. Copy the Office2003 setup folder (after nr. 4 in post 1) to a shared folder that you use with your virtual environment (virtualbox, vmware...) 2. Install Office2003 from the setup folder in your shared folder (using the commands described in (5) in post 1) in your virtual environment. 3. When the install is complete, search for all files (*.*) in the Office2003 setup folder and check the last accessed time on the files. 4. Delete all files that weren't accessed at the time of the Office2003 install! 5. Continiue at (5) in post 1! Tested and working! My addon just shrunk from 206mb to 112mb! Edit: The addon worked flawlessly Edit2: Tried to clear things out, my writing sucks

Thanks!! Now I don't have to do this myself

No problem

I've done some more test's with nLite and I cannot get autologon to work with a blank password, there's even an infobox where i can read that it doesn't work with blank passwords. So my question is: How did you do to make autologon with a blank password work in nLite? Anyhow, you may make autologon work in the ugly way, by adding: set KEY=HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run REG ADD "%KEY%" /f /v "AutoAdminLogon" /d "cmd /c REG ADD \"HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\" /f /v \"AutoAdminLogon\" /d \"1\"" But I suppose you have already thought about this?

I want to know if autologon with blank password in win 2000 is possible too! Are you sure that nLite can handle autologon, my conclusion was that it couldn't. If it works for you, you may be able to just rename the built-in admin account and use that account instead. Anyway... I have done some tests to try to get it to work, eg. with the ForceAutoLogon key. but no success yet

I had problems with this too for quite some time, the problem is that you MUST define a password for autologon otherwise it will just autologon one time and then reset the AutoAdminLogon key. Hope this works for you!

Yes i did! Then i'm waiting for v1.3 then

I cant seem to find any documentation on how to specify InstallPath as a parameter on the exe, is it possible? If not, is there any alternative way?

I made some experiments and found that it is not a bug of the module. I found a description of such problems for Inno Setup. Read this I do not know how to solve this problem Thanks for the clarification and thanks for trying, now I at least know what's causing it. By the way... I just got an idea, i might just put the installer within another installer, that extract the installer silently and then executes it. // dLL32

I'm not changing the icon of the module, or using any kind of compression except for 7-zip. I got a question now to: is it possible to specify two archives when creating the exe? eg. copy /b 7zs.sfx + config.txt + archive1.7z + archive2.7z (Installer_Name).exe

I got a problem with the icon of the exe when the size of the archive is bigger than ~700mb. The problem is that the icon gets replaced to the boring "white rectangle". Is this a bug with 7zSD? If it's a known bug, is there any way to prevent it?

Here's how I choose my username at install and I do skip OOBE! My method uses "Registered owner" that you specify at the start of install and then renames the Admin-account with the specified name It will probably just work with classic install in CMDLINES.TXT add "renameAdmin.cmd" "renameAdmin.cmd" ------------------------------ cmdow @ /HID @echo off :: exports the RegisteredOwner key FOR /F "tokens=2* delims= " %%A IN ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v RegisteredOwner') DO SET RegisteredOwner="%%B" :: rename the administratoraccount renuser Administrator %RegisteredOwner% :: Make the renamed administratoraccount Always Visible on the Login Screen REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList" /f /v %RegisteredOwner% /t REG_DWORD /d 00000001 ------------------------------------

I use WinXp Pro, that might be the reason the admin tweak doesn't work for you I've missed that you wanted tweaks for the classic start menu, so here you have the tweak for small icons: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2] for big "Settings"=hex:28,00,00,00,ff,ff,ff,ff,02,00,00,00,03,00,... for small "Settings"=hex:28,00,00,00,ff,ff,ff,ff,06,00,00,00,03,00,... about the documents i don't know

Here's the start menu tweaks I use: ; Start Menu ; --------------------------------------------------- ; Start menu Items: Hide/Show/Cascade. ; dword: 00000000= Don't display ; dword: 00000001= Display as a link (Default) ; dword: 00000002= Display as a menu (Cascade) ; Show My Documents [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "Start_ShowMyDocs"=dword:00000001 ; Show My Music [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "Start_ShowMyMusic"=dword:00000001 ; Show My Pictures [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "Start_ShowMyPics"=dword:00000001 ; removes the recent documents from the start menu.
