No Application Installation Screen Anymore


Recommended Posts

I created an unattended Vista DVD where I also automated the application installation

as described on Firegeier's Guide.

Everything works fine, but where I used to see a nice overview screen of to-be-installed

applications, I now get ugly CMD screens and intallation progress bars.

I can't see what is wrong here. I checked my XML for errors, differences but had no luck.

Anyone sees \ knows where I go wrong?

Below you will find the XML I use for my unattended install

Thx in advance!!!!!

Hello VATERNL!

The cmd /c command is necessary to get it worked with %Appsroot% environment variable. Without cmd /c it would not install directly from media and this is at least causing the cmd windows, so you can't get rid of these screens - or better I would not know how to get rid of it.

But if you install in auditPass - like you do - you will get the overview list. I guess you don't get such list for the moment, cause you don't use a Description. Please fill out the Description tags (<Description></Description>) and you should get the overview window again - but you'll still have the poping up cmd boxes in background.

Regards,

Martin

Thx Martin,

I will give it a try. :thumbup

Your suggested fix is actually something I knew but I constantly

overlooked that one when I started troubleshooting :blushing:

I modified the *.XML as adviced, but somehow I still don't get the nice installation

overview screen that ticks off when an application is installed \ being installed.

Below you will find the adjusted *.XML I used. Can someone please check where I go wrong?

Youre quick;)

I am using a normal installation dvd which is "owned" by the company I work for. - No OEM - Ultimate Edition.

The Files have been copied to a fileshare, no VLite used as I want to have full overview what is being done to the image.

I think i will need to re-copy all the files from the DVD and rebuild the test installation and see if there has indeed something odd crawled into my build:(

Hello VATERNL!

Before redoing everything... just to make sure, that we're talking about the same overview window: I've no picture present ATM, but my is a little window, were it shows the Apps wich supposed to be installed - listed by their description. In your case it would look like this:

OPERA_9.21_ENG

SMARTFTP_V2.5.1006.4

KLITE_MEGA_C0DEC_PACK_V2.10

WINAMP_V5.35

.

.

.

Once it has finished installing an app it will be checked with a green checkmark in front of it. In background the cmd's are popping up and - depending on the app, that's installed - I see the one or other progress bar windows popping up.

If you don't see this little window, than you should try to redo everything. ;)

Regards,

Martin

Thats exactly what I meant;)

This little mishap is not a showstopper for me, but I like my stuff to work as intended.

(I have bigger issues getting around the new security model and the default registry

tweaks I want to apply for each user).

Anyway,

Thx for your attention..it's really appreciated!

I will let you know what the outcome of my rebuild will be.

Hello Stacey Melissa!

Do you use a retail Ultimate, too? Or what kind of Disc is it exactly? Would you please post your Autounattend.xml. I would like to take your and VATERNL's Autounattend.xml for a test run on my system. Maybe I can reproduce the problem.

Regards,

Martin

EDIT:

How many apps you're installing? As many as VATERNL?

I'm using an OEM 32-bit Ultimate DVD. Everything (15 or so apps) gets installed just fine, but there's no progress screen at all during the audit modes. Just the blank cmd windows on a blank black background. (Try saying that 3 times fast :P )

The progress window briefly worked back when I was only installing a couple of drivers. Or rather, I was trying to install the drivers, but the command lines I used were not getting parsed correctly. I fixed the command lines so the drivers now install fine, but the progress display disappeared.

Here's my autounattend.xml. All the ua.exe entries are compiled AutoIt scripts that call the program installers and make my desired tweaks.

I'm using an OEM 32-bit Ultimate DVD. ...

I'm not sure if this is causing the problem, just can tell you that my guide is based on retail version and I know that OEM version acts different partly. Can't tell any details cause I don't have an OEM version.

The progress window briefly worked back when I was only installing a couple of drivers. ...

This is the reason why I was asking how many installs you're running. I could imagine that the progress window might turn off once you fill it with more than 10 apps. Have not tested yet... I'm just thinking...

I don't use Autoit. So I can't reproduce your scenario exactly but I'll try out with more than 10 apps.

Regards,

Martin

I figured it out. The problem was that there were a couple of RunSynchronous items for which I was using the Write Blank String option for the Description property. I filled in some text, and the progress window with over 20 apps now works!

I don't actually want any text for those two entries, though, so on my next trial, I'll have to see whether it works to put nothing at all in the Description property.
