jrzycrim Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Thanks BM. I wasn't sure. I thought I might have been daft. Sometimes I have good days. Some days, when I can't get anything to work, I wonder if msfn.org should sport a header on their main page which states, "Abandon hope, all ye who enter here."

[BM]Crusher Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Some days, when I can't get anything to work, I wonder if it was worth waking up that day hehthen I just delete everything and start from scratch! i used to do that a lot when i first started making my unattend cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrzycrim Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Yeah, I know the feeling. I've started from scratch a couple of times. There's still so much more I need to do. Organize all of my start menu items, for one. I was considering just deleting all of the shortcuts from runonce.exe during cleanup and then use a sfx to install the organized shortcuts. Seems the easiet way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 hehe, I have so many files I'd have to reedit to get my CD back to a starting position after starting from scratch.edit a few Hive files,edit Txtsetup.sifedit Dosnet.infedit syssetup.dlledit uxthemeedit sfc_ofedit setup.exeedit some other stuffre-add all the hotfixes. That's a pretty long process. Thank fully, I have a working base with all that done, and then just extract the image to a new directory and start from there. It's gonna stink when SP2 comes out.

jrzycrim Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 That's why I love XPcreate. I've got my original (sp1) CD+hacked files in it's own folder. Then all the rest in XPcreate. I've been making modifications to the files stored in CDROOT and burning test ISOs from there. If a test ISO works, I back up my $OEM$ files and continue on. If I screw something and I can't find the problem, I just run xpcreate again with my last working $OEM$ restored to FILESCD. Usually, all I need to do is just replace the $OEM$ in CDROOT since, at this stage, I haven't really been tinkering with anything outside of that. Fortunately, I haven't had to start from scratch in awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Yeah, I too have been trying to keep things as modular as possible so I can rebuild a CD quickly. Alanoll, you might look into batch files to make the necessary changes to those files for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
