The original SETUP.EXE (AutoRun) of Windows XP displays useless links.
I always wanted to install some basic apps (NET, WMP, etc...) on some computer.

With StartCD.exe, and being flexible, now I can do that.

The attached RAR archive contains 5 files:

1- AUTORUN.INF
2- BACK.bmp
3- DATAPANE.BMP
4- StartCD.exe
5- StartCD.INI

Assuming you've copied your Windows XP CD to your harddisk;
to use StartCD.exe effectively, do the following:

1- Delete Setup.exe and AUTORUN.INF from the root of your Windows XP CD.
2- Put those 5 files in the root of your CD.
3- Set the attributes of them to Hidden, except StartCD.exe!

BACK.bmp is the bigger picture shown in the background.
DATAPANE.BMP is the smaller picture shown in the small box to the right.
StartCD.INI controls and configures what appears when you run StartCD.exe!

My StartCD.INI contains good examples for installing apps right from the CD.
Everything in StartCD.INI is in English.

Edit StartCD.INI to reflect your apps and their paths!

You can test your work, prior to burning, by manually running StartCD.exe!

You can do a more tidied job by putting both BACK.bmp and DATAPANE.BMP
inside $OEM$, then edit the following lines in StartCD.INI to reflect the
path to them:

Image=%STARTDIR%\Back.bmp --Change--To--> Image=%RootDir%\$OEM$\Back.bmp

Image=%STARTDIR%\DataPane.bmp --Change--To--> Image=%RootDir%\$OEM$\DataPane.bmp

As you may have already guessed, $OEM$ is not the only choice. Actually, you
can put both BMPs anywhere on your CD. Just remember to edit StartCD.INI!

NB 1: The BMPs will not be copied to your HDD when installing Windows from this CD!
NB 2: Windows logo by WolfX2.

There's, also, a WINNTBBU.DL_ in olive that goes with this Autorun.

@ all

Glad you liked them.

@ owikh84

I just thought you meant that the autorun to appear this way.

Actually, I made this to go with this WINNTBBU!

Since I've got Royale Noir and a black LOGONUI, I'm now satisfied with black shades on my screen!

NB: I'll post this black autorun with the same options as previous ones plus another one for owikh84 with his wanted options if he just confirms it.

If your CD keeps the same original structure, you DON'T need to edit the attached
StartCD.INI!

This Autorun contains the same commands as the original Setup.exe of Windows XP.

I'm saying that because (as you can see, below) some commands require files from
the root of the CD (setupxp.htm and readme.htm).
Some other commands require files from the TOOLS directory (msrdpcli.exe and fastwiz.exe).

sysocmgr.exe is run from your current system.
Since it's located as %windir%\system32\sysocmgr.exe, we don't need to include
the path to it because "system32" is a predefined path.
However, if you include the path, it will not work, eh!

Again, I'm quoting these strings here for you to adjust the path to files if you ONLY happen to re-locate files on your original CD.

I changed my mind about the black design and created this red one!

Well, I'll stop creating new autoruns for now 'cause I want to play with some logonui screens.

I'll be responsive, however, if someone needs something here!

Wish me good luck.

I was after doing the same thing myself only to find as much as you edit the setup.exe with resource hacker
you are still very limited to what you can change..
one you have all your images replaced, your still unable to change the background color...

I was told about this page and i'm now using StartCD.exe which can be customized alot better
so i would suggest using the StartCD.exe this is very simple to edit..

The main config file can be edited with notepad and has alot more flexibility..

Explain alittle more what you would like to change about the setup.exe

These bottom is what i wrote in this forum before:

Does anyone know how to do this?
I am talking about modifying the XP CD: Like I put XP CD, it runs and shows up the some screens and want change the strings in the CD.
What I want to do is/are:

1. Delete the text string, "Learn more about the setup process," and its related page(s) and text string(s).
2. Delete the text string, "Check systemPut the text string, and its related page(s) and text string(s).
3. Put the text string, "Install Windows XP" text string that goes second page that has various strings
versions of XPs.
4. Put the text string, "Perform addtional tasks", under "Install Windows XP" text string
and its related page(s) and text string(s).
5. Put the text string, "Boot from UBCD for Windows", under "Perform addtional tasks" text string.
6. Put the text string, "Boot from Hard Drive", under "Boot from UBCD for Windows" text string.
7. Put the text string, "Reboot", under "Boot from Hard Drive" text string.

And in case nobody understands what I'm saying, I attach the screenshot what I mean.

This screenshot is edited by me, using paint, so that I can show what i mean by it. This screenshot is what I wanted to change to.

How can I make the different options display information about the option when the mouse hovers on any option? For example: Install / Upgrade Windows option

Choose the upgrade option to automatically upgrade your current version of Windows. Upgrading preserves your installe dprograms, data files and existing computer settings Choose the New Installation option to replace Windows or to install on a separate disk / partition. Existing programs, data files and settings will be lost.

During upgrade / new installation it is normal for your system to restart a few imes and for the screen to go blank for a short while.
