I just wish they made some silent switch... how hard can it be ...

tested it with 1.5 beta 2 and having some problems. first of all I install everything as admin first time, the prefs don't get carried over to the new users, also even so, the bookmarks are not copied over, and of my extensions the gmail notifier one doesn't get installed

Has anyone else experienced problems installing office 2003 after shrink + 7zip ? It starts ok for me , but half way into the process the progress bar starts going backwards, and eventualy quits. Office doesn't get installed. The answer might be somewhere in here but I didn't have the time to read over a dozen pages just to check. Thanks. EDIT: after further searching I found others had similar problems. BUT I tried to install manualy, but with /qb only, not /qb-, and I found out I have a LOT of files missing !!

Thank you very much but I KNEW this already. What do you mean exactly?

Hey, I searched the forums and the net for a way to silently install this baby and found none. I tried unpacking the setup.exe but to my surprise there's no file there that you can run as a setup. My only alternative was AutoIt so I gave it a try. The major thing is that EVERY window has the same name, and NO window has ANY viewable text ( viewed inside AU3-Info ). So I can't basicaly use WinWaitActive , or give it some extra "text' to search in order to match a window. Is there any way other then just sending the controls and maybe putting Sleep(500) after each one ? I'm clueless right now as to what to try. Thanks!

Easy, I had the same, just put Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ;Gets rid of anoying popup for running files you download from internet [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Download] "CheckExeSignatures"="no" "RunInvalidSignatures"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Attachments] "SaveZoneInformation"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Associations] "LowRiskFileTypes"=".zip;.rar;.nfo;.txt;.exe;.bat;.com;.cmd;.reg;.msi;.htm;.html;.gif;.bmp;.jpg;.avi;.mpg;.mpeg;.mo v;.mp3;.m3u;.wav;" Enjoy

I've been trying to get a tweak for this, but I was unsuccesfull also ...

ouch But that's more like multiple OSs , I want multiple options, see the diference ?

Ok guess I'll give acronis a try

Could this be done ? Imagine you put in your XPCD and then just after it boots from it, it shows you a simple menu, something like: 1. Auto Install 2. Manual Install 3. Auto Setup 4. Manual Setup + Apps Install I'm especialy interested in having auto, but to also have a full manual install in case sometimes you need the regular contents on the cd. Would be very nice.

Great ! Thank you very much !

Nope, the file has the proper version as the regular ntoskrnl.exe, and I manualy tested and edited ( or just ran the bootlogo.cmd ), and it applies, but for some reason it doesn't apply when ran from cmdlines.txt

The Installer doesn't create them for all users. I'll look into changing that when 5.1 comes out. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks. So far I manualy copy the dir, over to allusersprofile to make it for all.

Tag&Rename is nice too

I thought it was much better as poll as it should have been. Thanks for the support

**** right ! Google POWER !

I got a nice bootlogo I want to try and I can't seem to make it work. I call the bootlogo.cmd from within cmdlines.txt , both files located inside same dir $oem$ ofcourse. The oemkrnl.exe is copied to system32 via the distribution folders, so that's not the problem, the file is there. My bootlogo.cmd is as follows: CLS @echo off bootcfg /RAW "/Kernel=oemkrnl.exe" /A /ID 1 bootcfg /Timeout 0 EXIT This should work very well, and as far as I can remember it worked fine back then when I used SP1. But now it's not working for some reason. To make sure my boot screen is ok I manualy edited the boot.ini and added /kernel=oemkrnl.exe to the line, and guess what ... it works. So I tracked down the problem to the bootlogo.cmd. Could someone please tell me what's going on here? And please don't tell me to rename it to ntoskrnl.exe and makecab it. note: using nLite 1.0b6 with uxtheme patch also Thanks for any help! edit: I tested the commands on a clean nice boot.ini, and they work fine. But after removing read-only ! Maybe it's that ? it's readonly when setup tries to apply ? edit2: it's not the read-only issue, bootcfg can write even if read only. **** I'm clueless now.

I'm having the same black bar problem. @matthewk: so I should try the nlite small icons tweak?

Seriously you have to try TagScanner 4.9 It's awesome!

I have tested this, and tried to set the process to MANUAL, not even disabled, and it still asks you to manualy start it. On the other hand you can set the PerfectDisk process to manual and the program starts it first time it's ran. I tested PD today ( was using O&O ), got a bit disappointed, I have to manualy set the number of days so the program knows what's new and what's old,which can be a good thing. And the only option is to defrag based on that, unlike OO .. Maybe I got it all wrong and didn't see some SPECIAL menu there ?

I'm enjoying it alot thanks !

@Alanoll would you have any idea why I don't have start menu > programs > winamp dir, for each user? I mean I install all my programs with runonceex as admin ( autologon first time ). And yet I don't have the dir for the other users ( I am creating them with cmdlines.txt so that might be a problem ). They should be created after winamp install to work ? Anyhow the only solution would be to copy the start menu dir to others ?

the thing is it registers, but I don't see my registration name or anything there, but no demo either.

This is my current runonceex cmdow @ /HID @Echo Off for %%i in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%i:\Win51ip.sp2 set CDROM=%%i: SET XPCD=%CDROM%\Install SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing applications..." /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Preparing Installation..." /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%XPCD%\preclean.cmd" /f ... I tried to change the CDROM finding using Yzöwl method but I am having no luck, and I'm noob at batch scripting Could anyone guide me, please ?

Could someone please tell me if I have my archive.7z, how could I make it extract to %programfiles%\somedir\ ? Thank you very much! EDIT: my config.txt ;!@Install@!UTF-8! InstallPath="%PROGRAMFILES%\\TechSmith\\Camtasia Studio 3" ;!@InstallEnd@! I don't want to run any setup.exe and yet I get an error saying it's not found, all I want to do is extract the archive contents.
