yes nice amit

but which files

[amit_talkin]

****...setup shows custom screens as shown above only whn installing Vista using setup.exe....but while installing by booting DVD it shows all things normal ...grrr..

[prathapml]

I think this used to happen with XP.

WINNTBBA.DLL and WINNTBBU.DLL from I386 were the 2 files that would contain the strings & resources, that were used from setup.exe & boot-setup respectively? Just thought this piece of info might help to find a solution.

[amit_talkin]

yup..but for vista, thr is nothing like this . caz i have almost edited all files which are responsible for setup wizard and contains resources of it. even enabled show hidden system files option if any files r hidden in dvd.

@AMIT

u need to edit those files in boot.wim

boot.wim contains 2 images

1st is tha bootable WinPe image and 2nd contains the same as tha dvd contains (except boot.wim & install.wim ) {i think so}

so u wanna change that fins the required files in those wim images

[amit_talkin]

thnx @innocent_devil ...yes..i looked into boot.wim, and replaced all files with mine edited one. it worked now !!! . and yes you are right...boot.wim contains 2 images as u told.

btw. one thing i noticed...tht if u wanna install Vista by booting dvd only..thn u can remove files in "resources" folder of vista which are already in boot.wim...caz vista uses only boot.wim files while booting dvd ( i have tested this )

similarly if u want to install vista using setup.exe file, u can remove similar files from boot.wim and can reduce size of it.

r u getting me wht i want to say?

Noo

the wallpaper wen booted from dvd is surely in WinPE and after booting from dvd

the setup runs from X:\sources\setup.exe

[amit_talkin]

lol..nop..its not...i tried by deleting all files listed above from "resource" and "resources\en-us" folders ( all files which i have modified )...then booted the DVD....though installation started!! thts y i have written in bracket that " i have tested this " boot.wim having its own setup.exe ...u can check it.

Hello, umm... I would like to know which programs did you use to

open the boot.wim file?

Thanks!

boot.wim is an image file you would simply mount it with imagex.exe which comes with the waik tools for managing images etc.

imagex /mountrw D:\Unattended\Vista\Vista2\sources\boot.wim 1 D:\Unattended\Vista\Mount

imagex /unmount /commit D:\Unattended\Vista\Mount

Paste these two lines of code into seperate text files & name it what you wish with a .cmd ext. change the paths as you see fit.

Cool, I'll try that out.

Right when I finish downloading WAIK.

I really appreciate your help.

Thank you!
