Adding one exe file with just one DLL

[EvilGuinness]

How unlucky I am

It would be the best thing to use, but we don't have this Appliance kit, I don't know why. It would have been for sure the best software for me, but I don't have it.

Hum, good morning CuBie, how are you? You said me you love programming, no?

Microsoft Server Appliance Kit v2.01 update

unpack sak201.exe

[EvilGuinness]

As we say in French : "oups, toutes mes excuses, j'avais pas vu"

I thought it was a special CD, like windows PE, or something like that.

edit : I was wondering how to install this driver...hum, .inf files are a very good thing.

edit 2 : I forgot to say "thanks"...

edit 3 : I read what I found about using .inf files, and I used rundll32 to execute the inf file...but when I try to execute saprep, it says "Starting Server Appliance Preparation....failed to load DLL:srvprep.dll".

Did I forget something?

edit 5 : oh, well, I found this : http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=16824&st=0

Eh, it seems to be harder than I thought...

what the hell...I tried to boot my RIS server, and it refused to boot...I have to reinstall all of it, OS, servers, OS images....

edit : I solved the problem...1 problem at least

I did all what is said in the link above ( http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=16824&st=20 --> I put my drivers in a cab file), but I doesn't change anything, I don't know how to use saprep...maybe I forgot to change something...I don't have winnt.sif, so I changed ristndrd.sif in the I386 and I386\templates directories (I boot from a RIS server)...someone to help, please? (Hum, I'm off-topic, no?)

I have an answer from Microsoft....Well, I don't speak English very well, but I think this message means "no, there's nothing to do to block the mouse and keyboard under the "official" windows PE" :

Hi Romain,

Thanks for your post.

Short of not connecting a Keyboard and Mouse to the system when booting

WinPE there are no supported ways to disable them. We do not support an

SAK or Windows Storage Server tools or install questions in the System

Builder Newsgroups. For any questions related to those products you will

need to go through your Microsoft Account Manager.

Moreover, it seems that they don't give answer to questions like this on the newsgroups
