websee Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 well, i didnt know exactly into which forum to put this, but i wasnt satisfiyed with the ability to edit the Setup Billboard.so i decided to do it better.i wanted to have a picture slideshow instead of the windows text, which can be edited, but it remains text.so i made a small script that can be launched from DetachedProgram and replaces the windows text messages with your custom picture slideshow.this should adjust itself to any setup resolution. even to widescreen ones.look config.js to adjust the tiomeout (how often the images should be changed.)unfortunately you have to make an imagelist and put it into filelist.jsvar images = new Array("image1.jpg","image2.jpg");you can also add your own text that is displayed above the images (any HTML tag can be used there), otherwise leave it empty. then no text is displayed. (you dont have to make an empty text entry for each image)last but not least edit slideshow.cmd to enter the prper path to the slideshow and start slideshow.cmd form DetachedProgram in winnt.sif.did i miss something?any comments?plz some feedbackslideshow.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintLaur Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Interesting, but can be aplied some gifs or can be changed with slideshow just some parts of entire picture ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
websee Posted April 5, 2005 Author Share Posted April 5, 2005 you can add any image that can be viewed by internet explorer.jpg, gif (even animated), bmp, png, ....or can be changed with slideshow just some parts of entire picture ?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>you can edit your images in photoshop first and then add them to the slideshow.i do not exactly understand what you mean.

websee Posted April 13, 2005 Author Share Posted April 13, 2005 i dont exactly understand what you mean, but if you want to preview the slideshow, then you can simply do this by executing slideshow.hta (simply doubleclick on it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

websee Posted April 13, 2005 Author Share Posted April 13, 2005 ok this should helpopen up slideshow.cmd and replace %PATHTOSLIDESHOW% by the path where your slideshow folder will be located on the cdromeg if your slideshow resides in D:\slideshow\slideshow.hta your last line should look like: start %CDROM%\slideshow\slideshow.htaremember not to have any spaces in your folder names.open up your winnt.sif and under [GuiUnattended] add the lineDetachedProgram="%systemdrive%\install\slideshow.cmd"last but not least put slideshow.cmd into $OEM$\$1\install in your windows cd.burn, enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikoinlove Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 now i do understand you but can i do this without useing winnt.sif file and use the file TXTSETUP.SIF ????????????????? B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
websee Posted April 14, 2005 Author Share Posted April 14, 2005 no because TXTSETUP.SIF is not responsible for this kind of launches. as far as i can remember TXTSETUP.SIF is responsible for device drivers. only winnt.sif can launch a program at the very beginning of the installation througth detachedprogramsee http://unattended.msfn.org/global/timeline.htm for details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stasys44 Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 @ webseeThanks!DetachedProgram="%systemdrive%\install\slideshow.cmd"It's like to launch WPI; the difference - WPI comes in first reboot after Windows installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintLaur Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Can be replaced this images with flash movies ? (like .swf for example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
