Newbie - Help Wanted

I want Windows to install with the Security Center's Automatic Updates feature set to "Notify me, but don't automatically download or install them" setting checked.

I have a WinNT file in FILESCD Files\I386\

The text is as follows:

[Data]MsDosInitiated=0

UnattendedInstall=Yes

AutomaticUpdates=yes

[unattended]

UnattendSwitch=Yes

OemPreinstall=Yes

OemSkipEula=Yes

FileSystem=*

WaitForReboot=No

OemPnPDriversPath=Drivers\ata133;Drivers\RealtekNIC

NoWaitAfterTextMode=1

NoWaitAfterGUIMode=1

TargetPath=\Windows

DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore

NonDriverSigningPolicy=Ignore

Hibernation=No

[GuiUnattended]

AutoLogon=Yes

OEMSkipRegional=1

TimeZone=004

OemSkipWelcome=1

[Display]

BitsPerPel=32

XResolution=1024

YResolution=768

Vrefresh=70

[userData]

ProductKey=*************

[identification]

JoinWorkgroup=Workgroup

I have a command file in FILESCD Files\$OEM$\

With the only text being

[COMMANDS]"REGEDIT /S RegTweaks.reg"

Then I have the RegTweaks file in the same folder.

I do have "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" as the first line.

All other tweaks seem to work, except this one.

;Set Automatic Updates to notify if updates exists

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update]"AUOptions"=dword:00000002

"ScheduledInstallDay"=dword:00000000

"ScheduledInstallTime"=dword:00000003

"ConfigVer"=dword:00000001

The last 3 lines I added after trying ONLY the "AUOptions" line. That didn't work. So then I researched a little more on Microsoft site and tried addeing those. Still not working.

It sets Automatic Updates to full on position with scheduled checks at 3:00 daily.

So that did change something. It just will not put it to the "Notify" setting.

What am I doing wrong?

Since you're a newbie, you should take the time to read the forum rules before posting.

12. Very often we see meaningless subjects in topic title. They give no clue of what the posts are all about. For example:

- Oh no!

- Help

- I'm mad

- Please help

- Question

- I need your help

- Hmmmm ....

This should be avoided. Users should enter something more specific in topic title so that it is easier for others to help.

A few good examples:

- Strange problem with DirectX9b redist

- RunOnceEx install problem (double installation)

- Change Internet Explorer's Icon back to default

And here's what I use on my CD:

;Set Automatic Updates to "Check but don't install"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update]
"AUOptions"=dword:00000002

Sorry about the topic.

But it looks like our code is the same. Yet, mine doesn't work. Could it be do to the hotfixes? Everything I've seen shows that that code should work.

I'm at a loss.

pls zip or rar your

runonceEX.cmd

winnt.sif

cleanup.cmd

prepare.cmd

regtweaks.reg

[RyanVM]

Are your other registry settings being applied OK? I personally apply mine from a batch file called by cmdlines.txt

[Preacher]

Everything else is applying just fine.

Here are my files......but I don't have any cleanup.cmd, runonceEX.cmd

or prepare.cmd.

Just the Winnt.sif, RegTweaks.reg and Cmdlines.txt

Is that my problem?
