flyingpants Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 i just finished a windows 2000 lite install disk, and WIHU seems to be exactly what i'm looking for, except for a few problems i have.1. first of all, when i run wihu, why is almost everything greyed out?this is a problem. this happens on my account, and on the Administrator account. it's probably something very simple that i am missing..2. why can't i skip the second screen (adding more users) altogether?

BenjaminKalytta Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Everything will be greyed out if:1. You are running WIHU at T-12 at windows installation2. "Secondary Logon" Service is disabledYou should check if either one of them is true./SkipSettings will skip User creation and First screen. May be I'll add /SkipUsers switch in future.Benjamin Kalytta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syntax_13 Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Can the T-12 thingy be changed? In older versions (pre 2.xx) WIHU was able to run, without being greyed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjaminKalytta Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 No, it's logically that it doesn't work at T-12 for following reasons:- At this time you are logged on as SYSTEM (no administrative rights)- At this time "Secondary Logon" Service isn't running yet. This means, you are not able to install certain software as secondary user, i.e. creating a new user account and install certain software under this new account.So, because of this I forbade to set primary user at this time.This window might also be greyed out after T-12 if "Secondary Logon" service was disabled by the user (which I don't recommend btw.)In older versions indeed it was not greyed out, but it doesn't mean that it worked as expected. It was a bug.Some things that might change in future versions is, that WIHU will allow creating primary user despite of T-12 but it will not install certain software under this new account then.I recommend to run WIHU at GuiRunOnce or RunOnceEx. At this stage there will be no problems.Benjamin Kalytta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
