[Sangi]

Hi everyone,

I joined this Forum about one month ago with no knowledge whatsoever of computer programming (which I still lack) and to my surprise I've come out with a fully customised Windows XP Pro with all the updates and over 30 applications.
Now, judging by the level of most of you here this may seem unsurprising, but if you're a total 'newbie' (another word I learned here...) like myself, believe me, it's quite a feat.
It took me the best part of a month to get it right and many embarassing mistakes, but I was determined not to ask questions before getting it done, at least not before I had some idea of what I meant to ask.

But, by reading the Unatended Guide and your posts to exhaustion, by alternating nLite, svcpack.inf and RunOnceEX, I finally managed.

So, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all of you. I'm over the moon!

And a special thanks to Ryan VM, Nuhi and the author of the Unattended Guide, you're just brilliant!

Cheers,
Sangi

Gotta admit, the new Unattended Windows guide, as well as an updated version of nLite, was a nice Christmas bonus. It took me even longer to work the bugs out of my first (intentional) silent installation, made less embarassing by self reliance on searchable answers.

Congratulations on your successful attempt, Sangi, and welcome to the MSFN forums.
