yadzil Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Hi there,I'm new here. I really intrested about silently install applications with xp setup. I like to ask a questions. In most guide seem that only mention install the program or applications in the same drive where the windows xp installed. How can I sillently install the applications in different drive? Example, I install windows in C:\Windows and I like to install my applications like office, winamp and others in D:\ (I make different partiton for operating system and installed application). I hope there is someone can help me . I like to make unattended xp cd with sillent applications intall in different drive where the windows xp installed. Thanks for your time.

yadzil Posted June 23, 2004 Author Share Posted June 23, 2004 Thanks MCT, but how do I change the target directory while silent install? There must be some script to change the directory.Where can I get the InstallRite? I click the link below your message but it direct me to unattended homepage.Thanks again.

mapoupier Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 I think your best guest would be to change the default Program Files locationI do not mean to relocate it because this is kind of messy but you can change the value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ProgramFilesDir from C:\Program files to D:\Program filesapplications that you install look at this key to know where to go by default...I'm not totally sure this will work in 100% of the cases but i do use this and it works for me !anyway Hope this helps!Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSTeR Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 If you know the name of the Program Files folder and it's partition beforehand the easiest way is to add this to the winnt.sif:[Unattended]ProgramFilesDir="D:\My Program Files"CommonProgramFilesDir="D:\My Program Files\My Common Files"If you want to change it after setup has begun you can modify the registry as mapoupier mentioned but this will f*ck up IE/OE because they use the variable %ProgramFiles% in their paths.Look at this thread for a solution.

spachtler Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 but be sure that the target directory and drive (partition) exists... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
