Slipstream TweakUI in XP

[JayMan]

How do I slipstream TweakUI in XP?

 

I tried putting the TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe file into HFSVCPACK_SW1 and HFSVCPACK_SW2, but if pauses the install process waiting for user feedback - making my unattended install not so unattended.

 

Anyone know the solution to this?

 

Thanks in advance!

Ummmm, NO! You can't install it that way (NOT a HotFix).

Create a CMD with this "stuff" in it and put the execution of the CMD inside CMDLINES.TXT (within the $OEM$ folder).

Here's the reference ("find" on string "tweak" in the following link) -

-OR- this -

tweakuipowertoysetup.exe /S /v/qn

 

-OR- look at this reference (also "find" on "tweak") -

P.S. Simple Google on "tweakuipowertoysetup.exe silent" (without quotes)

I tried the "tweakuipowertoysetup.exe /S /v/qn" but it didn't work.

 

I ended up extracting the TweakUI.exe file from the installer and wrote a CMD file to have it and a shortcut placed where I wanted it.

Hmmm... I see the problem now. TWO versions -

v 2.00 for RTM

http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe

v2.10 for SP1 and above

http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/c/a/fca6767b-9ed9-45a6-b352-839afb2a2679/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe

I will -assume- that you tried it with the v2.10. There's a VBS to add it to the Control Panel, which is where the -original v2.00- placed the link.

Here's a reference to make the VBS -totally- silent, also if you understand the VBS, the REG entry is inside it.
