Windows 7 won't get past "checking video performance"


Recommended Posts

I have created my unattended setup disk using RT 7 Lite and 7Customizer. Everything works in VMWare with no problems, and I get a complete install to the desktop. However, After taking those same files and adding my WPI to the root of the folder, The installation hangs at "Checking Video Performance" before even going to the desktop. Both the WPI and the unattended setup work individually, but won't seem to work together. I downloaded the Vista/ Server 2008/ Window 7 setupcomplete file, and added it to the sources folder as per the instructions.

To help with this problem, I am including a copy of both my config.js file and Autounattend.xml file.

Config.js

// WPI Config 7.7.0+
//
// User defined options

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Reference ... prog[0] won't be used. It's just an example.
// Look in program.js to see explanation of these properties.

ShowMultiDefault=true;
CheckOnLoad='all';
// ---
SortOrder=['Applications','Drivers','Maintenance','Registry','Utilities'];

Edited out my programs list to make the thread more readable.

Anyone have any ideas?

I've been trying everything I can think of, and was hoping to have this install disk finished tonight. Is there something wrong in one of the oploaded files? I've tried searching the forums for any posts that might have something to do with my problem to no avail.

Any help would be definitely appreciated. If it wasn't against the rules to do so, I'd upload the files for my disk so that someone could test it.

Any help still greatly appreciated.

could you tell that how you managed it? I have the same problem. I use also 7Customizer_0.4.0a..

Honestly I still haven't got it figured out. The disk installs perfectly with all of the files for WPI on the disk, with the exception of the setupcomplete.cmd file. Do to school work, I've had to put this project aside for a while, but now that its Spring Break, I'm going to look at it again and see if I can get it to work.

Hello,

i have the same problem, but only if i want to install WPI over a network share.

WPI on my DVD/USB works fine.

How does your "setupcomplete.cmd" looks like, can you post it?

here is my "setupcomplete.cmd" wich doesnt work to install wpi from network share:


reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\NetworkLocationWizard" /v HideWizard /t REG_DWORD /d 00000001 /f

net use Z: \\192.168.x.xxx\DEPLOY

Start z:\WPI\wpi.exe

I tried also to connect via Net Use with Username and Password, but no change - same freeze.

When i run WPI from DVD/USB with the following "setupcomlete.cmd" it works fine.


for %%i 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 %%i:\sources\install.wim set CDROM=%%i:

reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\NetworkLocationWizard" /v HideWizard /t REG_DWORD /d 00000001 /f

Start %cdrom%\WPI\wpi.exe

del %0

Thanks for your help
