pkx Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Long story short, SP2 cannot be slipstreamed into the version of windows I have (It successfully slipstreams in, but I then get a manifest parse error upon setup), so I'm installing it via RunOnceEx.After SP2 gets installed (w/ /noreboot option), RunOnceEx imports all of the registry tweaks I want, and then the PC is restarted. These registry tweaks include setting exporer's view settings to details and turning on classic folder view:[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]"ShellState"=hex:24,00,00,00,33,88,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\ 01,00,00,00,0d,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]"WebView"=dword:00000000"ClassicViewState"=dword:00000001Once the PC reboots and the user logs in, the Shellstate is set back to non-classic folder view! (specifically, the "88" is set to "a8" in shellstate, and the Webview is "1" instead of "0"). It appears as though SP2 (or something else I'm installing)? is setting these two keys - but not until the first reboot?These two keys require a reboot to take effect, and I don't want to have the PC reboot *again* just to change this view. Anyone have any ideas?Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilvoice Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 HKCU needs to be imported at cmdlines.txt stage, not runonceex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepnmojo Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Or you could load the registry hive from a different user, and import the keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanVM Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Out of curiosity, what version of Windows are you using that can't slipstream with SP2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkx Posted September 20, 2004 Author Share Posted September 20, 2004 Looks like the version I have already has SP1a slipstreamed in... and that's why I'm having issues slipstreaming SP2 in over it (looks like it's a known problem judging by my google search results).
