almost done, but a few (small?) problems

[flyingpants]

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?

Everything will be greyed out if:

1. You are running WIHU at T-12 at windows installation

2. "Secondary Logon" Service is disabled

You 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.

Can the T-12 thingy be changed? In older versions (pre 2.xx) WIHU was able to run, without being greyed out.

[BenjaminKalytta]

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.
