yup.....we can install directly from the CD, that's I want, but I cannot.

OK tell me one thing.....You must be using cmdlines.txt to call a .cmd file which then calls xplode, right??....Where's that xplode file called from??...Fromthe CD or from the HDD is it called???....Hope you understand what I mean..!

And the other thing I want to know is when we use cmdlines.txt to call xplode, whatever the way we use.....Do we have to use any of a single line in winnt.sif file??......

Hope you understand this too.....I just want to clear up my mind...!

Thanks my friend..!

hi,

have you read this topic?

I have posted how i call XPlode at different point in windows setup.

Please put "pause"-commands in your .cmd's where you call xplode to see if there are any syntax errors in your XPlode-line there.

hope this helps a bit

OK....I guess cannot start xplode due to some wrong things...!

Can I chnage the processing of xplode ....to see if it works for me or not...!

Now i think I would like to copy all the files to the HDD , and then run those application from the HDD by Xplode which will be called from the CD/DVD...!

How's this possible??....

I am not sure, but I change things in here....tell me where are they wrong??

it functions very good. you can take it mukeshnuna. and convert the xml's to unicode

edit: it's very simple mukeshnuna. my solution works exactly the same as the others. in my solution you don't need lot of cmd files.

i'll be back

ps: take it easy

@ easy........................

Are you running all the xplode related things from the CD??.....

yes, all the things runs from the cd. not first copy to hdd then install, then delete,... this is long way and takes very much time.

my solution installs at t12/t13 the hotfixes and registry tweaks

which runonce included so the software will installed after restart.

<execute display='RegTweaks' program='reg' arguments='ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce /v Software /d "#XPLODE#\xplode.exe /xml:#XPLODE#\software.xml" /f' />

100% from the cd :rolleyes::)

see.you.later

but @easy....i do not want to run the software installation after the logon....i want almost everything at t-13 or t-9..around that time

then merge the hotfix and software xml. delete the software.xml and the item to the software.xml wich runs with the runonce and add more items to the hotfixes.xml

i make it so because the hotfix kb832483 (data access components) must installed after logon.

with my script it will installs automatic the software.xml which kb832483 included after restart.

where is the problem. just after or before.

greetz :)

edit:

hauptsache es wird automatisch installiert

engl.:main thing it is installed automatically

edit:

first: keep a clean copy of winxp to the hdd !!!!.

second: just download the file and extract to $OEM$ folder.

edit the file winnt.sif, you must give a correct serial number and change the values!!!!!!!!.

then move the file winnt.sif in I386 folder.

and last you must edit the xml, because they're optimized for my system. please change or compare with yours.

if you dont want installs after restart just delete the last item in hotfixes.xml and the software.xml file.

the file WINXP_BOOT.BIN is for bootable cdrom.

Hi easy......after the variable #SOURCEPATH# in the two lines, it says one folder DIRECTX9 and the other folder HOTFIXES..............................

what i want to know is that are these two folders on the root of the CD, with the i386, support folders.???????

Hi easy..................

I tried the way you asked me too........didn't work at all...

this is the same structure as you told me....like cmdlines.txt finds xplode.exe which looks for xplode.xml file with the log, and then xplode.xml file looks for apps or registry accord to xplode.xml paths....!!

but in my case, everything looks fine, but i dunno why it doesn't lauches it up..!

Help me..!

run it with internet explorer. when opened with no error is ok. otherwise correct it.

the 2 folders hotfixes, directx9 comes from me.

you must correct the command line

"xplode.exe /xml:xplode.xml /log:"#SYSTEMDRIVE#\xplode.log"

in

"xplode.exe /xml:xplode.xml /log:#SYSTEMDRIVE#\xplode.log"

else i've found no errors in xplode.xml
