ssapeutfout Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 Has anyone succeded to integrate the UXTHEME ?i used the method on the site... (followed exactly)and nothing works... I think file restore does its job after that...No way to pack it into .dl_ or something to add to cmdlines ?This thing will make me die!!

Aaron Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 I found a CD Eject script, could put this at the start of the batch in an htm file:<script LANGUAGE="VBScript"><!--Set oWMP = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7" )Set colCDROMs = oWMP.cdromCollectionif colCDROMs.Count >= 1 then For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1 colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject Next ' cdromEnd If--></SCRIPT>And then use PSKill to kill iexplore.exeI'll have to try this.

Aaron Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 copy:Set oWMP = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7" )Set colCDROMs = oWMP.cdromCollectionif colCDROMs.Count >= 1 then For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1 colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject Next ' cdromEnd Ifsave as cd_eject.vbs and put this into C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\install\Tools\In batch file:ECHO.ECHO Ejecting CD-ROM Drives...start %systemdrive%\install\Tools\cd_eject.vbsIt doesn't open any other seperate process either (don't use /wait otherwise it will hang) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssapeutfout Posted July 30, 2003 Author Share Posted July 30, 2003 Yes tested for a long time and long list of directx versions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bachus Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 It doesn't open any other seperate process either (don't use /wait otherwise it will hang)Actually, Aaron, that does start wscript.exe and causes the strange side effect of the cd-rom not working until you kill it. This wouldn't be a problem unless someone chose to use a second disc for more apps, which is probably why this small problem slipped by you.

mortis42 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 LOLI kept forgetting to remove my CD and uxtheme and metapad would not install.I added this to the begining of my Main_Batch.cmd fileCLS@echo offECHO.ECHO Over the next few minutes you will see automated installations ECHO of various sofware applications, windows updates, and registryECHO hacks being implemented. The computer will restart automaticallyECHO once the whole process has finished!ECHO.ECHO Please remove your Windows Install CD from the CD DriveECHO.pauseECHO.It takes away form being completely unattended, but it helped me remember. 8)I was thinking, if you are using more tha one CDcould you have the uxtheme commands run on the cd that does not include your I386 file? Then Windows would not have anywhere to autoload the originals from. How do you install from multiple cd's anyway?As far as removing those files from the dxsetup. Has this been tested on Windows 2003? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Windows would not have anywhere to autoload the originals from. How do you install from multiple cd's anyway?You can, but to run the 2nd CD you will have to have an exact drive letter and path your CD-ROM in your batch file on the Windows XP CD. (This can be a problem if you decide to use your custom CD on someone else's PC that may have different drive letters)e.g. instead of %systemroot%\install\Applications, you will have to use X:\Applications\ (X:\ being the CD-ROM Drive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has this been tested on Windows 2003?is there a string i could add to the batch file that requires user interaction to proceed here? such as, press C to continue. This way the batch will not run until they have at least pressed C and read that they need to remove the CD ROM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 put:pause in your batch file to prompt the "Press any key to continue..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
