I've been searching high and low but i didn't find a solution for this problem :

I only want TCP/IP on my adapter but setup also install MS Networking, Qos and file and printing.

I use these entries in answer file:

[Networking]
   
[Identification]
   JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP

[NetAdapters]
   Adapter1=params.Adapter1

[params.Adapter1]
   INFID=*

[NetProtocols]
   MS_TCPIP=params.MS_TCPIP

[params.MS_TCPIP]
   DNS=No
   UseDomainNameDevolution=No
   EnableLMHosts=No
   AdapterSections=params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1

[params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1]
   SpecificTo=Adapter1
   DHCP=No
   IPAddress=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
   SubnetMask=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
   DefaultGateway=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
   DNSServerSearchOrder=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
   WINS=No
   NetBIOSOptions=2

Do i have to use "[Networking] > InstallDefaultComponents=No"??? It didn't seemed to work in my previous tests.

Any1 know if nLite project will solve this problem?

It should be something like this:

[identification]

JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP

[Networking]

InstallDefaultComponents=No

[NetAdapters]

Adapter1=params.Adapter1

[params.Adapter1]

INFID=*

[NetProtocols]

MS_TCPIP=params.MS_TCPIP

[params.MS_TCPIP]

DNS=No

UseDomainNameDevolution=No

EnableLMHosts=No

AdapterSections=params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1

[params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1]

SpecificTo=Adapter1

DHCP=No

IPAddress=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

SubnetMask=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

WINS=No

NetBIOSOptions=2

yes well i need the DefaultGateway=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and the DNSServerSearchOrder=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -- i don't think it has anything to to with the components.

I will test again and post result.

Sorry I forgot those lines:

Correction:

[params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1]

SpecificTo=Adapter1

DHCP=No

IPAddress=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

SubnetMask=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

WINS=No

NetBIOSOptions=0

DNSServerSearchOrder=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy

DefaultGateway=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Add:

[NetClients]

[NetServices]

like that with nothing under each heading.

I did add empty [NetClients] and [NetServices] and it just installed Client for MS Networks again besides my tcp/ip protocol. Can't i prevent the Client for MS network from installing?

Since there a waste of space i will add a tweak too:

;Show network icon in notification(systray) area when conected

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\{434B3168-F119-48EA-8490-AA220C9A4B01}\Connection]

"ShowIcon"=dword:00000001

i dunnow if the serial stuff will change if i install windows again...what do u think?

Do you have default network components set to no? Because how I posted is exactly how I do it in my own installs and I only ever have tcp/ip installed.
