pls provide more information, so it will be easier to troubleshoot your problem.

are u using batch, runonceEX.cmd, wpi,

did u use nlite.

i took a peek are you rar file.

where did u put your Regtweaks?

is it in $oem$\$1\Install\ directory?

it seems like u are using a combination of batch and runonceEX method.

well obviously if you looks at the rar attached it has the batch files and you would have all your answers and yes im using nlite

[jamesas]

woops you edited your post at the same time umm yeh its all located in %systemdrive%\install or on the cd $oem$\$1\install

[jamesas]

well what happens is the cd finishes installing windows then it starts the install.bat on first logon which is ment to start the aftersetup.cmd at next boot

install.bat:

Removes systemfiles

patches some files

starts WPI

makes aftersetup.cmd run next logon

aftersetup.cmd:

removes shotcuts tweaks regitrsy

registers nero

starts cleartype

makes relnotes for next boot

This unattended install cd is based on Windows 2003, Standard

Can mods or admins please delete this thread as i have solved my problem

[SyntaxError]

I have made an working UA Xp Pro cd. Everything works except the regtweaks.reg file. The reg settings in the file will not import. Double-clicking the file in windows explorer gives a message box saying: "Cannot import RegTweaks.reg The specified file is not a registry script. You can only import binary registry files from within the registry editor."

I tried to import the file from within regedit and it wants to overwrite the entire registry. So just for the hell of it, I clicked yes when it asked if I wanted to continue. Then it said the entries in the file were invalid.

I have been scouring

http://unattended.msfn.org/index.htm

for days now and have come to the conclusion that the information there is wrong since my RegTweaks.reg looks exactly like the samples given. I've been searching this forum, and all I found was the sticky post with the reg settings in a large txt file which I found useful in building my file.

If the file can't be imported manually, there's no way it's gonna work unattended.

I've attached my reg file. Any ideas?

btw, I'm using RunOnceEx.cmd method

@ SyntaxError

Open it up in Notepad, right at the end of your file add a return then Save As... newname.reg with ANSI Encoding instead of Unicode. Now try it, if it works, delete your existing RegTweaks.reg and rename the new one back to suit.

Thanks man, it worked great!!

I have been banging my head on the desk for 2 days over this.

Glad to help!

It may now be a good idea, to remove your reg file, (unless you wish to leave it for others to fix), since it does not really contribute to the thread.
