click-click Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) I am just looking into installing Win7 and I currently use WinNTSetup for doing XP Installs. I tried WinNTSetup V2 to do a Win7 install and it works great.With XP, I was able to use a cmdlines.txt in \$WIN_NT$.~LS\$OEM$\ to add a RunOnceEx.cmd etc. to do my customizing. The structure for this is created using V1 of WintNTSetup, but With V2, I no longer see a structure to do this. Even though V2 allows regtweaks, I cannot determine how these tweaks are run. I was hoping to find a way to adapt the XP way of doing things to Win7. Is it possible?Thanks.. Edited March 16, 2011 by click-click
JFX Posted March 16, 2011 Author Posted March 16, 2011 The setup of windows vista and later does not use a cmdlines.txt during installation.So for windows 7 winntsetup loads the registry hives of the prepared windows installation and writes the tweaks directly.I don't know if there is an alternative to cmdlines.txt in windows vista or later

I assumeall of the V2 regtweaks apply to the HKLM system and software hives only. Is that correct? Edited March 16, 2011 by click-click
JFX Posted March 20, 2011 Author Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) Is there a readable version of the regtweaks and how they are applied by V2?tweaks.au3IF you want RunOnceEx method similar to http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/31/ then try following:After Winntsetup finished create a folder on the installtion drive called installAdd your software to that folder.create a cmd file inside this folder, like the following and run it.@echo offReg Load HKLM\OFFLINE_SOFTWARE %~d0\Windows\system32\config\softwareSET KEY=HKLM\OFFLINE_SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceExREG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /F /D "Installing Applications"REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /F /D "Java Runtime 6"REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /F /D "%systemdrive%\install\jre-6u24-windows-i586-s.exe /s /qb /norestart"REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /F /D ".NetFX 4.0"REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /F /D "%systemdrive%\install\dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe /norestart /passive"REG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /F /D "AutoIt v3"REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /F /D "%systemdrive%\install\Autoit3\autoit-v3-setup.exe /s"REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 2 /F /D "%systemdrive%\install\Autoit3\SciTE4AutoIt3.exe /s"reg unload HKLM\OFFLINE_SOFTWARE Edited March 20, 2011 by JFX
click-click Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 Thank you very much JFX for posting the reg file and the sample RunOnceEx tip. I am currently doing something similar using a SetupComplete.cmd that I copy to \Windows\Setup\Scripts\. This gets run immediately after Windows Setup completes before the Logon screen appears. Now, all I need to do is to figure out how to convert my winnt.sif to something I can use for Win7 to make the install less interactive. Thanks again ...
click-click Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I ran a test installing Win7 with SP1 integrated and applied the majority of tweaks supplied by V2.The following tweaks did not seem to work for me:Show Take Ownership to context menu -> do not see this on any of the context menusShow Cmd.exe Icon on context menu -> only shows with shift Right-ClickDisable Language Bar -> Still appears on taskbar (did not see this tweak in tweaks.au3 file)Disable System Restore -> Still enabled for drive C: (DisableSR entry not present in registry. Tried adding this entry and made no difference)I did not apply the following tweaks:Show all tray iconsXP-like taskbar iconsDisable Aero TransparencyDisable Automatic Restart on WUForce XP Partition Mode for new partitionsDisable PagefileThe rest looks good. One tweak in the tweaks.au3 (NoSecurityWarning4DownloadedFiles) is not selectable in the GUI for Win7 Thanks...
JFX Posted March 23, 2011 Author Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) You use an old version, these 4 tweaks were changed with version 2.0.3.37.the DisableSR doesn't not completely disable system restore, but at least it set the reserved space to 0%, what should have the same effect.

os2fan2 Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Is there any plan to add support for boot drives that are FAT16? I tried to install Win2k onto a NTFS, but my boot drive is a DOS disk, which is a fat16 partition?The program looks quite good elsewise.
