add user post install

[murphinator]

Hey everyone

I have created a unattended xp cd which works great except for one thing.

I used nlite to remove some componets I didn't use/want including the wizard

that appears just after you install, the on that connects you to the internet and trys to get you the register windows etc and on the last screen it asks your name and then creates a account with that name and logs in to it. Now that it's gone in just installs and logs in as administrator

Is there a way to ask user for input i.e. name and create that account and log in?. I was thinking maybe in a .cmd file.

Any other solutions would be great also.

Cheers.

The unattended cd guide on this site tells you how.

I saw that but...

I want to add a different user for each different computer I install on

if I use that .cmd file to add user then it will be fixed to one user name.

Can anyone help??

You could try Window Installer Helper Utility. Does different users.

Various others in forum as well.
