xb00t Posted August 13, 2004 Author Share Posted August 13, 2004 I'm not wasting a whole CD... VMWare So everything else is correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benners Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 That is one way, but I find it is quicker to burn a new cd and run on a separate machine.I use Virtual PC but it seems to take twice as long.Everything seems ok, but there is always something to p*** on your chips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xolox Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Little something about the registry's RunOnce-key: RunOnce. Windows will make sure for you it won't run again. And don't delete the whole key just because of one entry! Just remove the entry, that's all. I don't know if anything else is in that key when your first boot. And Windows and Windows-apps use the key as well, so don't delete the key, just remove entry's, when you need to. You could also just add the info (if needed) in RunOnce instead of Run, and let Windows remove it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xb00t Posted August 14, 2004 Author Share Posted August 14, 2004 xolox, I've decided to do it another way. Have a look at my post. Thank you all for the support. Now let's read some comics and off to bed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prathapml Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 I use XPlode at two points in my install, at cmdlines and GUIrunonce.Can't really explain much else though, everything I got to say is spread out here - but one unique set of tips you won't find anywhere else is here - tweaks.

xb00t Posted August 14, 2004 Author Share Posted August 14, 2004 prathapml, I learned your post also. Why do you run Xplode twice? Are you installing different things or are you just making sure everything getss installed properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 I install as many apps as possible at T-12. But, Office 2003 and NAV2k3 doesn't install properly at cmdlines stage. And, some registry values get re-generated at first-boot - so they should be re-applied at first logon. Also, the %systemdrive%\install\ folder will cleanly get deleted at GUIrunonce (after o2k3 setup). Network operations, swap-file config, user-specific options, the list goes on.... (which need to be done at a reboot after all apps are done, so what I found this solution).So there you have it - why I run XPlode twice for setup ^^^^.
