I may have BAD NEWS!!! for you neo http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPo...4&SiteID=17EDIT: Here is more info to back what that guy is saying http://blogs.msdn.com/nickmac/archive/2008...ine-update.aspx

OH! so its just for convenience, it won't hurt if I decide to do the steps after vLite?

AveIconBTW any reason why I shouldn't mod (remove, integrate, etc) with vLite before attempting this? And is it OK to do so after I do this?

I am stuck at the beginning You say not to modify the wim with updates or anything, so I don't... But if I don't then the Apply button is Grey... How do I rebuild?

Your SFX editing is not working because of 1033... Change it to zero "0" EDIT: Try this config.txt ;!@Install@!UTF-8! InstallPath="%WinDir%\\Temp\\Avira" RunProgram="%%T\\basic\\setup.exe /inf=setup.inf" RunProgram="hidcon:cmd /c tskill avscan" GUIMode="2" ;!@InstallEnd@! or this ;!@Install@!UTF-8! InstallPath="%WinDir%\\Temp\\Avira" RunProgram="%%T\\basic\\setup.exe /inf=\"%%T\\basic\\setup.inf\"" RunProgram="hidcon:cmd /c tskill avscan" GUIMode="2" ;!@InstallEnd@!

Yea I forgot (updated instructions above) The new Windows Sidebar after KB943411 will not run unless it finds a specific registry entry. You can download the regfix here and merge it into the registry Or you can copy and paste this into notepad and save it as a .reg file and add it that way Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Sidebar\Compatibility] Thats it!... Your Sidebar should work now BTW the 3rd command (sidebar.exe /RegServer) does not generally show any pop ups, thats 100% normal

Yes, you can! 1- Extract the Windows Sidebar folder from install.wim (you can use 7zip to open it) 2- Copy it to the "%ProgramFiles%" directory 3- Run the following commands from Run box REGSVR32 "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Sidebar\sbdrop.dll" REGSVR32 "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Sidebar\wlsrvc.dll" "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Sidebar\sidebar.exe" /RegServer 4- Add this to the registry Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Sidebar\Compatibility] 5- Now create your Windows Sidebar shortcut in Accessories and you are done

I suspect all RunOnceEx.cmd will do is add a reg entrie... It wont actually do anything BTW cmdlines.txt will get executed when there are 13 mins left in your install, it will make your user account (useraccounts.cmd) and add a reg entrie to run your silent installs on 1st login (RunOnceEx.cmd)

You can add multipple commands to cmdlines.txt And I don't think the order will matter much

cool400 use the new 7zip method its much better, you can use multipple RunPrograms and it also has a built in hide CMD window Here is an example on how to install a program and then copy the updated files after its installed ;!@Install@!UTF-8! RunProgram="ir32_257_26021.exe /S" RunProgram="hidcon:cmd /c tskill Ir" RunProgram="hidcon:cmd /c copy /v /y Irremote.ini %WinDir%" GUIMode="2" ;!@InstallEnd@! Here is my 7-zip (the program) I reshack the icons after install to have a Vista look ;!@Install@!UTF-8! RunProgram="7z457.exe /S" RunProgram="ResHacker -addoverwrite \"%ProgramFiles%\\7-Zip\\7z.dll\", \"%ProgramFiles%\\7-Zip\\7z.dll\", \"%%T\\7z.dll.res\",,," GUIMode="2" ;!@InstallEnd@! You can do tons of new things, here is a updated tutorial Also look at this help file, it has tons of examples on how to Reg Add, XCopy, Reg Del and lots of other things http://7zsfx.solta.ru/en/examples.html

You put cmdlines.txt and RunOnceEx.cmd in a folder on your CD named $OEM$ WPI can also install apps during 1st login, it also uses cmdlines.txt http://www.wpiw.net/The_Dark_Side/help.html

Lang files you are not using

Remove more unnecessary components

Yes thats all you needed to do

Hey XPero, gotta say Vize is a really neat tool, I love it. Just wondering if it would be possible to patch osk.exe (On Screen Keyboard) in next beta? I see you have the perfect icon in shell32.dll (Icon # 283.ico) OH! and Sidebar.exe Thnx BTW did you know it was possible to edit the icon of MSC files?

Yea I gotta say thnx also

One word... SegoeUI EDIT: Calibri for tooltips

Open sourcing?

You guys were right, it IS my grafix card and not my monitor drivers. I uninstalled it and when I performed the steps above (unchecking 'hide modes that this monitor cannot display') I could finally move my resolution up to my old XP one But when Microsoft Update takes ahold and update my drivers then it goes back to 1024x768 I was also reading the chm file for my drivers and found this

Open regedit, go to this location, find the bugger and simply delete it HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

Nope... Default monitor is the same, 1024x768

You cannot make empty directories with a INF file (I have some tricks but they might be too hard to explain) But the easiest way to do this is to use a dummy file (blank.txt) and copy it to that directory, thus creating that folder structure

Yep From what I read in that article Vista decides, it does not let the driver decide. Here are the max resolution reg entries of the monitor driver's INF HKR,,MaxResolution,,"1152,864" BTW I am using these drivers for chipset and grafix (I hope they are the latest) - 169.25_forceware_winvista_32bit_english_whql.exe - nforce_winvista32_15.01_international.exe

Hey guys I recently decided to see how Vista ran on my PC, I only have one problem... I have a amsung SyncMaster 591s/591v [15" CRT] (under XP) could go up to 1152x864 But now under Vista (with the same drivers installed) I can only achieve 1024x768 Does anybody know of a program that runs on Vista that can force set it to a higher rez? I tried this but it did not happen

Can you post the INF?
