Stuck at "Setup is preparing your desktop"


Recommended Posts

So I cant seem to get the screen to change or move from this screen. I do how ever see my applications being installed from First Logon command.

Does anyone know a fix for this. I have added screen resolution in the xml file but still doesn't work.

Just FYI this is testing in VMware.

Any help would be great. Thanks

Try unplugging your LAN connection and see what happens. I used to have an issue when preparing Windows images with Vlite, where if I didn't unplug my LAN cable, I would never get to the desktop. Once you get to your desktop, you can plug it back in.

Given your setupcomplete.cmd, it looks like it could be one of the start /wait commands, although that's just an educated guess. Perhaps a bit more logging from your setupcomplete.cmd would be in order to track this down - what did it do last, and what does it think it's doing now?

I'd add a START /WAIT in xml on the setupcomplete.cmd otherwise it fires it off and things start installing and it goes on

Do you know unless you have a modded dll it won't support anything but Mikeysoft theme

_matt, some questions. I thought running of setupcomplete.cmd was automatic when it was found by SetUp in the C:\Windows\Setup\scripts directory. I wonder if SetUp is getting confused here. Do you see any of the Echo command output from your setupcomplete.cmd? Have you tested all of your silent installers? Enjoy, John.

Good Point! Didnt catch that but let me try it out and let you know. All silent installers work flawless.

After a quick research you may be right.

Run a Custom Script after Windows Setup Completes

You can make further customizations after Windows Setup completes by adding commands to the %WINDIR%\Setup\Scripts\SetupComplete.cmd file. This file enables you to install additional applications, run custom Windows scripts (cscript/wscript), or make other modifications to the system before a user logs on.

noteNote

Commands in the Setupcomplete.cmd file are executed with local system privilege.

After Windows is installed, but before the logon screen appears, Windows Setup searches for the SetupComplete.cmd file in the %WINDIR%\Setup\Scripts\ directory.

If a SetupComplete.cmd file is found, the file is executed. Otherwise, installation continues normally. Windows Setup logs the action in the Setupact.log file.

noteNote

You cannot reboot the system and resume running SetupComplete.cmd.

_matt, are you using VMware Player? I was using VMware Server and ran into some hang problems (doing simple Find in notepad). When I went to the VMware Forum, I found that Server was EOL, several people had this problem and VMware Player was free. Player fully supports W7. I have been using it for a while now with no problems. In my AutoUnattend.xml I set my display variables except DPI. If nothing else comes up, you might try dropping the DPI setting. Enjoy, John.

Ok now I get stuck at "Setup is checking video performance". I can see the installs progression bars but the screen doesnt change.

What I did differently

- Disable Network

- Remove First Run Commands from XML

- Remove DPI setting from XML

I am running VMware Work Station 7.0.0 build-197124

Anymore suggestions or advice??

I've only been able to install applications during windows 7 setup by

using Se7en_UA, Or by putting a delay in the process so the desktop gets setup.

I call the following in firstlogon in my xml file.

I got this idea from my use of se7en_UA. Its a great program.

runonceex.cmd

cmdow @ /HID
timeout /T 320
regedit /S %SystemDrive%\Install\runonceex.reg
timeout /T 5
rundll32.exe %SystemDrive%\Windows\System32\iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess
exit

If I don't have the delay the desktop doesn't get setup properly.

Note the desktop doesn't appear until the apps are all installed.

I don't see why you couldn't use a batch file in stead of runonceex.

_matt, if it helps any, you are not the only one with the "video performance" problem. Here is another thread, but with no answer. You might send these posters a PM and see if any cure was found. I am not familiar with VMware Work Station, so don't know it that is a possible problem. I have set my display parameters (1920/1080, 60 Hz and 32 bit color) using both Player and HW with no problems. I have an ATI video card and have injected drivers for it and installed on VMware Player and HW with no problem. I have had a driver problem on Player causing a 07B BSOD. It makes no sense, since I don't expect a VM to even consider my South Bridge driver, but removing it cured my problem and apparently it is not needed on HW. I also install many applications via the <FirstLogonCommands>. I just call a batch file which installs such as .NET 4.0, DirectX latest, Java, Flash, Adobe Rdr, Open Office and several more. No problems here either. My only idea right now is just to get to an installing and operating system. I would start by not setting any display quantities, removing all installation of applications and in general any out of the ordinary stuff. When you get down to a successful system install, then start back till you can see the problem. Another thing to try is, of course, installing on HW and see how it goes. Enjoy, John.

setupact.log is usually where you find error but I had this in mine which tells me something must be hanging in your .cmd

2010-06-02 08:13:47, Info [msoobe.exe] RunUserProvidedScript: Found script at [C:\Windows\Setup\Scripts\SetupComplete.cmd]; executing with UI hidden...

2010-06-02 08:14:38, Info [msoobe.exe] RunUserProvidedScript: Successfully executed script; (returned with exit code 0x0)

BTW, I just noticed itunes in your cmd

Commands in the Setupcomplete.cmd file are executed with local system privilege.

HKLM Reg tweaks can be ran here but not HKCU which are user specific.

_matt, here are the lines in my log file:

2010-05-22 10:38:52, Info [msoobe.exe] RunUserProvidedScript: Found script at [C:\Windows\Setup\Scripts\SetupComplete.cmd]; executing with UI hidden...

2010-05-22 10:38:52, Info [msoobe.exe] RunUserProvidedScript: Successfully executed script; (returned with exit code 0x0)

Yours does not have the second line. As maxXPsoft said, it looks like your setupcomplete.cmd hung. Did you do a Reboot in it? Seems like I read that you cannot do a Reboot here. Don't know what the symptoms are if you do. Enjoy, John.
