RogueSpear, is there any chance you could get the AutoGK links up again (at least the .cab anyway.) Thanks


EDIT: NM, the silent .exe link works.
RogueSpear
Yea I just noticed that over the weekend myself. I was able to get the .exe file up, but had to wait til today to get my hands on the .msi file. Should all be squared away in the next couple of hours.

EDIT: All of the AutoGK links should be operational now.

7-zip does not work properly:

installation works without problems ... but what does not work:

installation with admin
create new user (limited access)
use 7-zip

he tries to access a file within the admin temp folder

I hope this is fixed soon ...
RogueSpear
The 7-Zip installer has been working for me since day one.. couple hundred installs and counting. I'm not sure what the problem would be on your end.

EDIT: I think I'm understanding the issue, but still it has never not worked for me, even with the set of circumstances you have. Perhaps install from svcpack during windows setup.

I am trying to use nLite to auto-install the VMWare Tools application.

Since nLite automatically creates a cmdlines.txt file in $OEM$, I simpled added the:

CODE
"cscript cmdlines.vbs"
to the last line of the file.

I have in the $OEM$ folder also, cmdlines.vbs.

In it is:
CODE
071_VMwareTools.exe


That application is then located in the $OEM$ folder.

It launched two windows once I booted into XP forthe first time, but they closed before I got a chance to read them.
RogueSpear
The installer file and the VBscript which determines whether or not the install is taking place on a VM both need to be in the \OEM directory, not the \$OEM$ directory.
fiber
Still no luck.

Here is $OEM$.

I have a feeling this shouldn't be too hard to do.
RogueSpear
If you're using the ScriptPack, which it looks like since you're mentioning cmdlines.vbs, then you should follow the instructions for that. If you are not, and only want the functionality of the VMware Tools installation, then there are instructions right in the post where the download is. Furthermore, there are a few posts within this very thread of people having similar issues with responses on how and what to do.

I will go on the assumption that you're using the ScriptPack based on the cmdlines.vbs file in your post. Well that file needs to be in your \$OEM$ directory if it's being called within cmdlines.txt. The cmdlines.vbs script will look for the script file named 070_VMwareTools.vbs in your \OEM directory. The 070_VMwareTools.vbs script will run in order to determine if your install is taking place on a VMware virtual computer. If it is, then VMware Tools will install. If it is not, as in your installing XP on a real physical computer, then the VMware Tools will not install.

If you need any further information you should be able to find it in this thread or in the support forum for the ScriptPack.

RogueSpear, I can confirm that issue with normal silent installer.
Admin works just fine, every login with a locked user starts installer searching for ..<temp>\7z??.tmp\...
RogueSpear
Well I'm not certain what I am doing different, but today I made a CD-based install with 7-Zip installing from svcpack.inf and it works for me from both admin and restricted users. I may just remove the installer since this is a no-brainer to install silently anyway.

EDIT: I just finished up another test and sure enough, it works for me. The only thing I can think of is that towards the end of my RunOnceEx sequence I export HKCU and overwrite the NTUSER.DAT file in the Default User profile.

RogueSpear

Updated QuickTime Alternative to V1.74
Updated TaskSwitchXP to V2.0.11

@NeoDeath, it's never been an issue for me before and I've yet to here from one person that it hasn't worked for them because of it. It's possible there could be issues if you're initiating setup from DOS, but I've never tried before so I couldn't say for sure. The filenames are not listed in txtsetup.sif or dosnet.inf, so there may not be any problems.

@All, there is no need to make a post regarding updates. I'm aware of when everything posted here gets updated. There are many factors that go into when I decide to update an installer. As you may or may not know, I have a lot of other things going on other than these installers. Also I am in the process of creating WPI Addons for most of the titles listed here and creating single thread per title posts over at my forums.

I've downloaded the Microsoft .NET Framework All-in-One (RogueSpearAddonsRuntimes_1.3.zip), and put it on as a Hotfix along with RyanVM addons pack(RVMAddons_1.7.0.7z), Windows Updates v6(nLiteOn_WinUv6.cab) and Sereby's DirectX August. I've installed it on a virtual machine using VMWare and the problem is that .NET Framework 1.1 and 2.0 doesn't seem to work(I've tried to run nLite 1.0.1(2.0) and SyncToy(1.1, from RyanVM addons) on the VM, but they didn't work).

Is this just a problem of using a VM or should I use another zip that has .NET Framework 1.1 and 2.0?(like one for each version)

EDIT: Checking more there aren't even the VB runtimes, so I should guess there isn't anything else on the zip installed.

EDIT2: Forgot to tell that I used this addon with nLite.

It's possible, but I haven't received any feedback specifically regarding non-English installs. I can tell you it's been downloaded from all corners of the world.
Neo2x
Maybe it's because I put all the hotfixes on just one run of nLite, right now I first put the hotfixes, waited for nLite to finish and then use nLite again to integrate the addons. I'll report what happens.

EDIT: Now the installer got stuck T-13 for like 33 minutes; or is it just that it takes that long?

Unless your very careful to not change any options at all you can only run nLite once.

Great job with all the switchless installers. Are you working on an update to the VMware Tools package based on VMware Workstation v5.5.2.29772?

Thanks again for all the hard work

Notes: Also integrated in this install are VirtualDub MPEG2 V1.6.15 Build 24600, VirtualDubMod V1.5.10.2 Build 2542, and some plugins.

I include VirtualDubMod in my installer. When I make a new one, the Mod will be updated as well.

Seeing that you either:
  • Don't bother to read my posts when I state that I am aware of when things are updated
    or
  • Are intentionally trying to annoy me by telling me anyway
VirtualDub and VMTools are now dead last on my list of things to do.

Update - 20060907

Updated Crap Cleaner to V1.32.345
Updated FileZilla to V2.2.27
Updated Paint.NET to V2.72
Updated QuickTime Alternative to V1.75
Updated Real Alternative to V1.50
Updated RogueSpear's Runtimes Installer to V1.4
Added RogueSpear's Other Runtimes V1.0
Added Spyware Terminator V1.5.00.740

Maintenance Updated IrfanView
Maintenance Updated Microsoft Office XP Resource Kit Tools
Maintenance Updated Microsoft Office 2003 Resource Kit Tools

The maintenance updates are not version updates. There is no change in functionality or configuration. These three installers are some of my earlier efforts so I simply repackaged the switchless silent installers replacing StartX.exe with RunHiddenConsole.exe and added the appropriate meta data to the exe files. Also I made RVM/nLite Addons for these installers.

Hey, love the work you're doing Rogue. One question:

On my Aunt's sad crappy Compaq machine, she runs an XP SP2 that's been heavily fubar'd by the good folks at Compaq/HP. sad.gif

I downloaded a number of your SSIs to a thumb for the purpose of cleaning things up, including the runtimes installer you made.
I installed it along with a few other things, did a restart, and XP died. It demanded full reinstallation and refused to be of any use until I did.

Is there any problem with running the runtimes installer in the full OS? If so, is there a way I can run it post-os-restore and not have a problem? If there is not, should I just grab the other runtimes installers or make do as I can with the app manu's installers? Much prefer yours, as they're easy to deal with. Anyhow, thanks again for all your hard work.

--Gedrean
RogueSpear
For quite some time I did have a warning to NOT run any of the runtimes installers that contain .NET 2.0 from anywhere other than svcpack. Then I received several reports from people that they tried it on an existing machine and it worked so... I removed the warning.



The issue is that normally, you cannot install .NET 2.0 from svcpack. In order to do this you need to make a registry change, install .NET 2.0, then change the registry back to the way it was. In theory it should all work out no matter where you install it from, but I did have problems myself; hence the warning.



I cannot say this for sure, but my guess is that if something interrupts the install process, the registry setting modified will not get changed back to it's original setting and this is what's screwing things up. I'll be sure to put the warning message back in again as there is obviously great potential for this to not work from anywhere other than svcpack.
