taltamir Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 (edited) PROGRESS UPDATE: I narrowed it down to either removing system restore, the useless documents directory, SFC disabling, or the unsigned themes support.This is actually an old bug, I remember having it since v1.2 or even earlier... I just never found out what it was exactly that did it before so i just gave up on doing ANYTHING AT ALL to my xp64 and simply used the unattented install option only to get a working copy of windows... I think I narrowed it down though:When using windows XPx64 pro corp:XP64 (No programs installed).ini causes no programs to be installed (no internet explorer, no media player, nothing, the computer is unusable)XP64 (CRC-02).ini also does not work and it does NOT recompress the cabs even though its set to max compression! Or rather, max compression claims to be set on by default and its on the default setting... I am gonna run a few more tests to see whats going on... but apperently its not cab merging.[Main]Env = 1.3 RC 2 - 2.0.50727.42.Microsoft Windows NT 5.2.3790 Service Pack 1Target = Windows XP Professional x64 Edition SP:1 - 5.2.3790.1830 - English (United States)[Tasks]Remove ComponentsUnattended SetupTweaksCreate a Bootable ISOOptions[Components];# Services #MessengerSystem Restore Service;# Directories #DOCSSUPPORT;# Compatibility #Compat01Compat02Compat04Compat07Compat08Compat09Compat11Compat14[KeepFiles]msconfig.exe[RemoveFiles]clock.aviyahoo.bmpswtchbrd.bmp[Options]CABMergeClassicSetupBlackSetupBackOemBrandingProfilesDir = "%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings"TargetPath = "WINDOWS"temp_dir = %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp[Patches]DoUxThemeDoSFC[services2][Tweaks][unattended]ComputerType = DefaultHibernationNoFirewallOffMaximumDataStorePercentOfDisk = 12RestorePointLife = 30DesktopTheme = Default||AutoUpdates = 1AutoUDay = 0AutoUHour = 15AUElevateAUMinorProgFilesPath = "\Program Files"[NetAdapter1]connname = ""macaddress = ""ipaddress = "192.168.0.1"subnetmask = "255.255.255.0"defaultgateway = ""dnsserver1 = ""dnsserver2 = ""winsserver = ""netbiossetting = "0"ipxnetworknumber = "00000000"ipxnetworkframetype = "0xFF"[GuiRunOnce][Drivers][Hotfixes][Main]Env = 1.3 RC 2 - 2.0.50727.42.Microsoft Windows NT 5.2.3790 Service Pack 1Target = Windows XP Professional x64 Edition SP:1 - 5.2.3790.1830 - English (United States)[Tasks]Remove ComponentsUnattended SetupCreate a Bootable ISOOptions[Components];# Services #MessengerSystem Restore Service;# Directories #DOCSSUPPORT;# Compatibility #Compat01Compat02Compat04Compat07Compat08Compat09Compat11Compat14[KeepFiles]msconfig.exe[RemoveFiles]clock.aviyahoo.bmpswtchbrd.bmp[Options]ClassicSetupBlackSetupBackOemBrandingProfilesDir = "%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings"TargetPath = "WINDOWS"temp_dir = %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp[Patches]DoUxThemeDoSFC[services2][Tweaks][unattended]ComputerType = DefaultHibernationNoFirewallOffMaximumDataStorePercentOfDisk = 12RestorePointLife = 30DesktopTheme = Default||AutoUpdates = 1AutoUDay = 0AutoUHour = 15AUElevateAUMinorProgFilesPath = "\Program Files"[NetAdapter1]connname = ""macaddress = ""ipaddress = "192.168.0.1"subnetmask = "255.255.255.0"defaultgateway = ""dnsserver1 = ""dnsserver2 = ""winsserver = ""netbiossetting = "0"ipxnetworknumber = "00000000"ipxnetworkframetype = "0xFF"[GuiRunOnce][Drivers][Hotfixes] Edited February 1, 2007 by taltamir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taltamir Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 Narrowing this down... I canceled the tweaks and removed components and this time IT WORKED.. Since I doubt that removing system restore or the useless documents did that I am going to have to assume it was the SFC disabling or the unsigned themes support. I cannot however perform further tests at the moment (since this was all on my roomate's computer and he is sick of me using nLite on it at the moment [Main]Env = 1.3 RC 2 - 2.0.50727.42.Microsoft Windows NT 5.2.3790 Service Pack 1Target = Windows XP Professional x64 Edition SP:1 - 5.2.3790.1830 - English (United States)[Tasks]Unattended SetupCreate a Bootable ISO[Components];# Services #MessengerSystem Restore Service;# Directories #DOCSSUPPORT;# Compatibility #Compat01Compat02Compat04Compat07Compat08Compat09Compat11Compat14[KeepFiles]msconfig.exe[RemoveFiles]clock.aviyahoo.bmpswtchbrd.bmp[Options]ClassicSetupBlackSetupBackOemBrandingProfilesDir = "%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings"TargetPath = "WINDOWS"temp_dir = %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp[Patches]DoUxThemeDoSFC[services2][Tweaks][unattended]ComputerType = DefaultHibernationNoFirewallOffMaximumDataStorePercentOfDisk = 12RestorePointLife = 30DesktopTheme = Default||AutoUpdates = 1AutoUDay = 0AutoUHour = 15AUElevateAUMinorProgFilesPath = "\Program Files"[NetAdapter1]connname = ""macaddress = ""ipaddress = "192.168.0.1"subnetmask = "255.255.255.0"defaultgateway = ""dnsserver1 = ""dnsserver2 = ""winsserver = ""netbiossetting = "0"ipxnetworknumber = "00000000"ipxnetworkframetype = "0xFF"[GuiRunOnce][Drivers][Hotfixes] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuhi Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 This is the first time I see this topic and it seems interesting to me, going to try your preset tonight and post my findings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taltamir Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share Posted February 7, 2007 This is the first time I see this topic and it seems interesting to me, going to try your preset tonight and post my findings.thanks... This happened to me on two computers, but using different images. The older one was at about v1.2 and I don't remember my preset. Those presets are all from v1.3 RC2 and I this time I kept those releases. If you need further info from me I will be glad to assist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuhi Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Bad news, I tried your XP64 (No programs installed).ini preset and it worked just fine :\I do believe you and I see you have done some testing but it's something else in conjuction with this preset. It could be the dredded corrupted CAB issues. Check your driver.cab and sp1.cab for corruption, for example you can use Winrar - Test option.But you say that on the other image it happens as well...maybe I need to run modifications under x64 like you did, I did it under xp sp2?

taltamir Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 I am sorry for asking that, but just to make sure, you didn't use the profile I called Working XPx64 right? cause I posted 3 profiles but only the first two don't work.And yes, I compiled them under 64bit XP.

nuhi Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Used the XP64 (No programs installed).iniCheck the CABs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taltamir Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 (edited) drivers.cab and drivers32.cab had no errors.but I could not find a SP1.cab (I searched the CD for SP1.cab)...This could mean we found our problem... the question is, how come my SP1 winxp64 does not have an SP1.cab...Could it be whomever integrated it used the merge cabs option (I think it might have actually been me...)Would that cause the expected problem? (maybe nlite creates an empty SP1.cab and puts nothing in it cause it doesn't find the old SP1...) Edited February 9, 2007 by taltamir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuhi Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 No SP1.cab in the original CD either, it's because x64 was shipped with sp1 in it and then it's already merged...they probably used nLite ... NOTSeriously until someone confirms and we see what is common with at least 2 reports in the situations like this when I try and it works there is nothing I can do.

taltamir Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 well... maybe this will help, as a source I am using a disk image, the XiSO release of XP64, not an actual CD. Maybe there is something wrong with the way they did things... I know releases like that tend to have more hotfixes integrated into them as well as service packs...

nuhi Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Must be that...sorry I can't support every tweaked version out there, get yourself original Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taltamir Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 Indeed, I simply did not realize it was tweaked at first... but now it makes sense. I will get an unmodified copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
