System Hang

[[Forsaken]Omni]

Well, I almost got this done. Was fun, my first unattended. Tested all the programs b4 hand and nearly went insane on a few , but they work and install silently. I set up my regtweaks just like I want them. Even placed a logo and company name in the properties of my computer.

I've now run into a problem after testing it on VirtualPC, and I know where it lies I just don't know how to work around this . When it installs goes through the whole process, just b4 it loads into windows for the first time it hangs at the welcome screen and so my programs will not load and doesn't load into windows.

Now here is my situation and the cause for my troubles I want one of two things, either to set up a user like shown in the tutorial but with admin rights not a localgroup user. Also allow it to not have a password. I'm assuming to do that you just place an '*' where it asks for a password? Or the second option is to completely remove the files that create a user and use the .vbs script to rename administrator to what I want. This is where my trouble lies.

Without that file, without renaming admin or creating a user my unattended cd works like a charm when I test it on VPC . Everything installs no problems. However, with the files my system will hang. The way I have it set up is that I call the file in my start.cmd file right at the begining of the program

@echo off
title Program Install

ECHO.
ECHO Renaming Administrator
ECHO Please wait...
%systemdrive%\install\applications\rename\rename.vbs

I don't know how .vbs files work, don't know if it's in the right place or not. I just have it where all my applications are at. Do I have to call it from like my winnt.sif file or from something else? Do I have to place that code at the end of my script in the .cmd file after my program install coding? Or is there a way to have my user script create a user with admin rights. I'd prefer the first obtion, but whatever is best.

I appreciate any feedback, or just some direction of where to go. I've looked around for more information on .vbs files, but I really haven't found anything.

Hi, the solution is really simple actually.

What you're looking for, is information on the "oobeinfo.ini".

Go to this thread - oobeinfo.ini usage

And please read all pages of the topic carefully, before asking a question about it.
