maxXPsoft Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 (edited) Notice: Install Se7en_UA to root of any drive like D:\Se7en_UA EDIT: Se7en_UA6.3.33 final for XP Vista. Use this last version 6.3.33 if you are running XP or Vista. I regret that I can no longer keep both updated. Easiest way to do Seven is just install it to drive without a key and you have 30 days to build your unattended. XP now? has to be same architecture as the Target Vista/Seven OS Please read my first 5 or 6 posts after this one and then if you have ? ask. Read this post here by ar_seven_am Ok, here's the additional notes for someone who got problems with Se7en_UA, I've test it with XP SP3 x86, Vista SP1 & SP2 x86, Windows 7 x86 : This is not a very complicated application. It is like a teaching tool so new people can learn the structure and layout of Windows Unattending. Most can click on the text next to a checkbox and it will explain what it's going to do. I structured it this way where you click one item at a time and complete them step's before allowing it to move on. Thing's have to be done correctly in order for you to create a sucessful Installation DVD. This will work for those know nothing of Unattended setups. You can use the basics from this or refer to other posts here in this forum or the Unattended Vista forum to find answers. I know that may be annoying to veteran unattenders but let's help the new people. Working now with 64 bit images. USE SAMPLE XML first try of this. I don't have all settings and you can mod it after. Let me know if I need to add something!!! Does not use the WAIK if installed or Windows directories unless you don't have waik or Win 7 then it only copies a few files. You can move your Appswitch.dat to new folder. Edit it and change the Paths Don't hotlink these file's directly, I make changes and will only update my link Do a favor and let people download the latest. Mediafire download. If you need a different download I'll upload to rapidshare. Let me know https://www.mediafire.com/folder/3l27csbkuzdyz/Se7en_UA Mediafire has added scanning of files with Bitdefender Release Notes: Included in Version.txt Edited March 15, 2022 by maxXPsoft update Topic to W11 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxXPsoft Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 (edited) I create a Panther.cmd on either a floppy, Usb, other drive. Then if crash I hit [shift] + [F10] and do the CD there and run it,Usually it comes up in X:\system32You type CD C: and press enterType Dir and press enterIf your Panther.cmd is not in that list then try another drive CD D: and press enterKeep going till you find Drive containing the panther.cmd and use itPanther.cmd and press enterwill copy the Panther folder so you can figure out whats going on. EDIT: Panther s about 2.67 MB so you can see why a floppy won't work unless you run commands to compress itPanther.cmdEDIT: Added Takeown to file for Windows 8EDIT: Modified to search all drives May 9, 2013EDIT: Fix For %%I IN command error on blank memory card drives June 23, 2013EDIT: Fix to copy early stages of deployment where Panther is in $WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther Aug 17, 2013cd /d %~dp0@ECHO OFFECHO.Color 1FsetlocalFor %%I IN (A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO for /f "tokens=4,6*" %%k in ('vol %%I: 2^>nul^|find "drive"') DO IF EXIST %%I:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther SET MyDrive=%%kIF EXIST %MyDrive%:\$WINDOWS.~BT (robocopy %MyDrive%:\$WINDOWS.~BT /MIR %~dp0$WINDOWS.~BT /R:1 /W:2)IF EXIST %MyDrive%:\$WINDOWS.~LS (robocopy %MyDrive%:\$WINDOWS.~LS /MIR %~dp0$WINDOWS.~LS /R:1 /W:2)ECHO.ECHO.ECHO FOUND %MyDrive%:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\PantherECHO.Timeout 5For %%I IN (A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO for /f "tokens=4,6*" %%k in ('vol %%I: 2^>nul^|find "drive"') DO IF EXIST %%I:\Windows\Panther SET MyDrive=%%kECHO.IF EXIST %MyDrive%:\Windows\Panther (ECHO FOUND %MyDrive%:\Windows\PantherECHO.REM Added takeown for Windows 8takeown /f %MyDrive%:\Windows\Panther /R && icacls %MyDrive%:\Windows\Panther /grant Administrators:F /tTimeout 5robocopy %MyDrive%:\Windows\Panther /MIR %~dp0$Panther /R:1 /W:2ECHO.)ECHO.ECHO.echo ^<press any key^>ECHO.Timeout 5Exit2009-09-21 06:49:44, Error CSI 00000001 (F) 80220006 [Error,Facility=FACILITY_STATE_MANAGEMENT,Code=6] #165# from CWcmScalarInstanceCore::PutCurrentValue(options = 0, value = { type: 12 (0x0000000c), bytes ( 14 (0x0000000e) ): 2000660061006c00730065000000 })[gle=0x80004005]2009-09-21 06:49:44, Error [oobeldr.exe] SMI data results dump: Source = Name: Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup, Language: neutral, ProcessorArchitecture: amd64, PublicKeyToken: 31bf3856ad364e35, VersionScope: nonSxS, /settings/Themes/DefaultThemesOff2009-09-21 06:49:44, Error [oobeldr.exe] SMI data results dump: Description = Value is in invalid format.2009-09-21 06:49:45, Error [oobeldr.exe] User input error was detected in unattend file.

ALL your current settings and bookmarks are included.been using this since 2.xNew version October 26, 2011 Firefox_autoit.au3FLAGSFLAG1: REG copycopies registry entries from your current registry. The program needs to be Installed when this is done. BUT If you copy once then it saves it to the [APPS] folder and any future Installs will use that. If you have it installed then it overwrites the current file = SWEET HUH? FLAG2: FILE copyCopy any File from anywhere to be placed in same directory on Target computer. FLAG3: FOLDER copyCopy entire Folder's to be placed on Target computer's. Handy for Fox/Tbird/Trillian if you don't want to lose anythingFLAG4: Specialis special and copies settings from the Registry from the HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxxx-1000 reg keys and on setup if reg part S-1-5-21-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxxx-1000 has changed it will automatically enter your new SIDAll of these are pretty handy for an Unattended Install. You need to place them as you need them called in the Appswitch . Plenty of example's in the Appswitch.datWhats best?All of them, it keeps everything up to date. If yesterday/last month I used this and copied say a Folder with a FLAG3 entry and today I wake up and realize it's changed so I copy again at the APP Installer. If it exists Installed then it delete's from your APPS Folder and the APPS folder from dvd sources and re-writes everything. Otherwise it uses what I had done last time I copied it in.I've been copying my Firefox and Thunderbird and many more for year's with same methods. Just drop new Fox or whatever in same APPS folder.My Settings, My files, My folders, My Registry, SERIAL NUMBERS all up to date.

maxXPsoft Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 (edited) Go to your Tools\architecture\ folder and open Admin cmd prompt. Or make the cmd line look like thisE:\Se7en_UA\Tools\amd64\imagex /cleanup E:\zMountDirI only get that if I uninstall and try to copy back too fast, darn Seven locks the folders down.
