Use cmdlines.txt and tweaks.reg for registry settings that you want applied to all your unattended installs. Use WPI to allow you to select which optional tweaks you want applied.

I had the same problem with a Volume License key. Use ProductID instead of ProductKey. ProductID=12345-12345-12345-12345-12345 Not sure why your theme isnt working. Try deleting the DefaultThemesOff line.

Add this to your winnt.sif to turn off the shortcuts. OE will still be installed. [Components] oeaccess=off Or you can use the following in a batch file to turn off the shortcuts after installing IE6 %systemroot%\system32\shmgrate OCInstallHideOE See here for details

Yes, that should work. But you might have to add the full path to the unattend.txt file cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\i386\\winnt32.exe /unattend5:%cdrom%\\i386\\unattend.txt']

Run setup with the /qb option so you can see which error is causing it to fail setuppro.exe transorms=Unattended.mst /QB

You can use BootCfg to modify BOOT.INI Search for BootCfg in the Unattended forum for more info.

Cant see anything wrong with your files. If you have CMDOW.EXE and AR7.MSI in the correct folders on your CD then it should work. For testing, try changing your runonce.cmd to this, then check C:\test.txt for errors. REM cmdow @ /HID @echo off FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\cd.txt SET CDROM=%%i: SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Adobe Reader 7" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\install\ar7\ar7.msi /qn" /f echo %CDROM%\install\ar7\ar7.msi > %systemdrive%\test.txt dir %CDROM%\install\ar7 >>%systemdrive%\test.txt dir %systemroot%\system32\cmdow.exe >>%systemdrive%\test.txt

Can you boot into safe mode and install the new drivers?

Check the Unattended guide. Theres a bit about formating and partitioning options. With AutoPartition=0 you will be able to manually select which partition you want to install on, and whether you want it formatted or not. The partitioning and formatting options in WinXP Setup are limited, but it can do what you describe. If you find it too limiting, then sure, boot with BartPE or WinPE then use Diskpart to partition your NTFS disks. By the way, I use MsDosInitiated=0 for both CD installs and BartPE installs with WINNT32. I havent found it necessary to change this.

If you set AutoPartition=0 in winnt.sif you can do what you describe.

You can customize the IE logo with the Microsoft Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK). The path and filename of your logo files should be in the BrandBitmap and SmBrandBitmap keys under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar Google for BrandBitmap for more info.

Yep, BartPE, or WinPE from MS

Interesting to hear it works with /syspart. The problem might have been because the new partition was not marked as active. Select Disk 0 Clean Create Partition primary size=5120 Active Assign Letter=C Create partition extended Create partition logical Assign letter=D Detail Disk exit

I'd recommend a batch file! REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "\"%CDROM%\Adobe Photoshop CS\SETUP.BAT\"" /f But if you really want to to it the hard way, try this: REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "cmd /c if \"%ProgramFiles%\"=\"D:\Program Files\" ( \"%CDROM%\Adobe Photoshop CS\setup.exe\" -s -f1\"%CDROM%\Adobe Photoshop CS\setupd.iss\" -f2\"%systemdrive%\test.log\" ) else ( \"%CDROM%\Adobe Photoshop CS\setup.exe\" -s -f1\"%CDROM%\Adobe Photoshop CS\setupc.iss\" -f2\"%systemdrive%\test.log\" )" /f

Search this forum for xuser and you'll get the full list of options.

You can delete the whole LANG folder if you only need English.

Autologon wont work with encrypted admin password. Try adding UnattendSwitch to get your $OEM$ folders copied and your NIC drivers installed. Parts of winnt.sif get skipped without this. [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended UnattendSwitch = Yes If you get $OEM$ folders on C: then theres something else wrong. All you should have on C: is C:\000_chipset and C:\001_lan etc. Setup loads drivers, partitions the drive, then copies files. Using Diskpart is fine, but it isnt necessary if the limited partition ability of Setup will do the job for you.

I call this batch file from runonceex, and each installer runs one after the other. Setuppro.exe does not exit until MS-Office installation is finished. @echo off echo Installing Office 2003 SP1 "%~dp0Office2003\setuppro.exe" transorms=Unattended.mst /QB echo Installing Frontpage 2003 "%~dp0Frontpage\FP11.MSI" /QB echo Installing OneNote 2003 "%~dp0OneNote2003sp1\ONOTE11.MSI" /QB echo Installing Visio 2003 "%~dp0Visio2003SP1\VISPRO.MSI" /QB

I think you need ConfigureAtLogon. You might also need to install your video card drivers with OemPnPDriversPath [Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=1024 YResolution=768 Vrefresh=60 ; Autodetect best display settings on first login ConfigureAtLogon=1 AutoConfirm=1 And you mispelt UnattendedSwitch, it should be UnattendSwitch = Yes

Use this for no password AdminPassword = * Your winnt.sif probably set your password to "" (2 quotes)

1. Do you have a different ProductKey for each PC? It looks like it should work, but I've never tried - I use a volume license key. 2. Set AutoPartition=1 to wipe all partitions automatically. Warning: be careful where you leave your unattended CD - it will format any PC you leave it in! [Data] AutoPartition=1 [Unattended] Repartition=Yes 3. Use EXIT to close WinPE winnt32.exe /unattend1:C:\local\unattend.txt /s:c:\local\source\i386 /udf:%computername%,Z:\Control\unique.udb /syspart:c: /tempdrive:c: /debug4:c:\local\debug.log /noreboot /copysource:lang /dudisable rem Restart PC. Kill nu2menu to restart from BartPE. "Exit" restarts WinPE rem pskill.exe nu2menu.exe exit 4. Copy your drivers to XPCD\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\IntelNIC then add Drivers\IntelNic to your OemPnPDriversPath [Unattended] OemPreinstall = Yes DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore NonDriverSigningPolicy = Ignore OemPnPDriversPath=Drivers\IntelNic;Drivers\MarvellPXE;Drivers\nv4disp2;Drivers\nv4_disp;Drivers\SoundMax;Drivers\USB2-EHCI;Drivers\VMVideo;Drivers\AtiSMBus 5. If its not in the guide, ask in the forums.

Not sure, but try UnattendSwitch="Yes"

Is the WinRar filename correct? Does D:\Instalar\Winrar\WinRAR-3.42-Ed.Corporativa.exe exist? Try removing the :'s from the drive letters in the FOR line. FOR %%d IN (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%d:\win51ip.SP2 SET CDROM=%%d: Add an extra % to display Alcohol 120% correctly. REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Alcohol 120%%" /f

You can use REG DELETE in batch files. Also you can use - in registry files to delete keys and values ; Delete Shares [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\Shares] ; Delete Programs [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver] "Programs"=-

Did you search the Application Installs forum? Download http://www.macromedia.com/go/fl_sw_exe_installer which is an EXE installer for Flash and Shockwave. Install with: mm_fl_sw_installer.exe /S Install Yahoo with the /S switch Then kill ypager with: TASKKILL /F /IM ypager.exe
