Eventlog errors - are they ok? o.o

[leozack]

After battling away to get a build with no setuperr.log errors (apart from sfcfiles.dll which seems unavoidable if you integrate IE7) here http://www.msfn.org/board/Settuperrlog-mes...mp;gopid=740836 I'm now onto a new problem!

I made a new build with the following in just 1 pass of each :

but I forgot to add my new ie7/mp11 regfile (attached) - should I add it as a runonceex or something?

I did check the event log though on what was otherwise a "perfect build" ... and found a .net optimisation service error etc. I've attached the event logs for after the initial install and after I then sysprepped it and rebooted it and ran throught he minisetup.

The minisetup asks where c_20127.nls and app850.fon are for some reason and I have to point them to the cd in i386. I tried to find a solution for that too but the best I got was this thread where I'm somehwat conufused as to the final outcome :/ http://www.msfn.org/board/c-20127nls-error...mp;gopid=742241

I badly wanna get this one rolling! I already burnt a cd off optimistically ebfre I checked the event log and found these problems On top of all this I then read through this guide http://www.msfn.org/board/Art-OEM-nLite-an...ion-t95271.html which has got me salivating at the possibility of making a universal image somehow for each site I visit rather than 1 image per machine-type. Can anyone clarify the exact method of doing this as opposed to what I'm used to? (simple sysprep, ghost 8.5 image in, ghostcast out)

I have seen eventlog errors on every computer I have installed with very clean installations.

You need to look into the messages if it is something real.

If they occur once in a while I would not bother.

[leozack]

Do those errors mean anything more to you than they do to me? I'm loath to use this build in a production environment while they're there I'm also stuck busy reading wondering how to make a universal image for any PC type, and how to stop it asking for files after sysprepping @_@ Must admit I'm starting to stress out when I thought I was all clear now :/

[BikinDutchman]

Do not even look at the information and warning messages.

You can double-click the error events to get some more information.

I reinstalled my desk PC 2/20/2008 with nLite, xable, boooggy, and a few more small things and, in the mean time, scored some 100 errors, most application hangs in syslog.

It seems to me that most event errors are timing issues: PC is busy, a service thinks it is time to do something, does not get enough resources and freaks out.

I cannot look in your event files, they are encoded. It seems to me nothing serious is going on but I am just guessing, it is you responsibily!

-If something is really wrong you get loads of error events, every few seconds.

Depending on what you install there may be more logging locations.

PS I am not sure you know, but nLite is only for private use. However imho Nuhi should think about a license for professional use, maybe after SP3 with nLite reaching a certain level of stability.

I'm now trying to work out how to make an image universal for any hardware - judging by this guide

http://uberplay.org/Documents/oemguide2.html

it seems to be

- Set HAL in device manager on virtualPC (or master PC to be imaged) to ACPI PC or ACPI Multiprocessor PC

(Set ACPI if image is going onto single CPU pcs, multi if it's going onto dual/quads. I had no idea about this!)

- Add UpdateInstalledDrivers=Yes to [unattended] section of sysprep.inf

- Run sysprep driver scanner http://uberplay.org/images/spdrvscn.exe

- Add C:\WINDOWS\Inf & Add Default Drivers

- Add [sysprepMassStorage] section at the end of the sysprep.inf file

- Run C:\sysprep\sysprep -bmsd

(I had no idea about this either - this allows it to work with all drives/chipsets?) x_x

- Run sysprep and Reseal as usual, then image in/out as usual

Is that correct? o.o

[BikinDutchman]

HALs: see here.

Sysprep: I never used it, no idea, sorry .

[leozack]

Well any method you or anyone else has I'd like to hear too, I'm not fussy how it's done if it can be done at all it would be great
