chezy666 Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 dunno if it will help, but if u're using winnt.sif why not keep[Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattendedA question, Does the theme apply ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Injecter Posted December 2, 2004 Author Share Posted December 2, 2004 Im testing it in VMWare (always). Thats y i keep the ProvideDefault. I can see then what i've done.Everything does work (incl. the Theme) except the Components section.Oh ya, thats the Link to the: German thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsmokingman Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 I had a similar problem, every thing was working except the componets parts.My Fix was to add a more complete componet list. That help me, not sure if that will help you.[Components] AutoUpdate=On Calc=On Deskpaper=On Dialer=Off Dtcnetwork=Off Fax=Off Fp_extensions=Off Fp_vdir_deploy=Off Freecell=off Hearts=off Iis_ftp=Off Iis_htmla=Off Iis_doc=Off Iis_inetmgr=Off Iis_internetdataconnector=Off Iis_nntp=Off Iis_pwmgr=Off Iis_serversideincludes=Off Iis_smtp=Off Iis_smtp_docs=Off Iis_webadmin=Off Iis_webdav=Off Iis_www=Off Iis_www_vdir_printers=Off Iis_www_vdir_scripts=Off Iis_www_vdir_terminalservices=Off Indexsrv_system=Off Inetprint=Off Licenseserver=Off Media_clips=On Media_utopia=On Minesweeper=On Mousepoint=On msmsgs=off Msnexplr=Off Mswordpad=On Paint=On Pinball=Off Rec=On Rootautoupdate=On Rstorage=On Solitaire=On Spider=On Templates=On zonegames=Off Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Injecter Posted December 3, 2004 Author Share Posted December 3, 2004 So you added the whole Components Part from the ref.chm? And just put On when u wanted to have it? I'll try that one out. C the reports... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Well, I have quite a short Components section. Some of the threads here had got their winnt.sif problems solved when they changed the position of the relevant section. So maybe a try could be given to that?This is the order in which I have mine:;SetupMgrTag[Data][Unattended][GuiUnattended][UserData][Display][TapiLocation][RegionalSettings][Branding][URL][Identification][Networking][Components][SetupParams][Shell][GuiRunOnce]It seems that (for example) having the [Components] block before the Identification block would leave [components] unprocessed.Do tell us on how it works out.

Injecter Posted December 3, 2004 Author Share Posted December 3, 2004 Now my order:[Data][unattended][GuiUnattended][userData][Display][TapiLocation][RegionalSettings][identification][Components][systemFileProtection][shell][GuiRunOnce]That didn't work too. Now ill try the method from "gunsmokingman" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxXPsoft Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 I've done it with as little as 2 components so quantity I would think shouldn't matter.As far as Order it resembles an inf file and is processed as it needs to be, In other words it don't matter or shouldn't according to MikeySoft but who knows?Interesting though Prath , something I'm going to look at.Getting things to work in the Virtual is a lot harder than actual, I've seen things work actual when they did not in Virtual if you understand.

maxXPsoft Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Thats why instead of VM nightmares I use CDRW, may take a little longer but you have actual view of what is really going on instead of a (not perfect)simulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxXPsoft Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 I might add though* A rewriteable CDR drive is an extremely useful tool when experimenting with bootable CDs. Although your test CD-RW may be unusable in some standard CD drives, it can be used on the mastering system if the CD-RW drive is set as the primary CD, and this is enough for general test purposes.If you are planning on making a variety of bootable CDs, or just experimenting, CD-RW has the obvious advantage of media cost. If you don't have a CD-RW, any failed experiments can be used as multi-session backups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Now my order:That didn't work too.It still don't work coz your section is in the wrong place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Injecter Posted December 4, 2004 Author Share Posted December 4, 2004 I'll use CD-RW too but the prob is, that i don't have a 2nd PC where I could install Windows on. And I can't use my Primary cause i need to write for example this text. So VMWare is my only chance... I'll try everything out like somewhen, when i used Ghost. Ill then i think, just Ghost it back.

prathapml Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Indeed, stick with VMware. I don't know how things can work in a real machine but not in a virtual (yes, I can understand that its possible, but that sort of a thing has never happened to me, in hundreds of tests. What happens in real machine happens in VM *EXACTLY* and vice-versa). Configure your CD properly, to be hardware-independant, and it will act the same no matter what the underlying machine.I normally follow this pattern - do testing on VM, then after I'm 99% happy that everything works as planned, test on a real machine, then test on some more real machines just to be sure.

Injecter Posted December 4, 2004 Author Share Posted December 4, 2004 (edited) Im always testing in VMware.Update: Changing the order again didn't work. So it has to be somthing different. Maybe its my whole CD? Edited December 4, 2004 by Injecter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
