I've just encountered this "password renewal" for the first time, which was a bit of a shock as I never use passwords. This was one of the first hits on a goggle search. I will say that this is the first time (approx 5 weeks ago) that I've used my slipped install with autounattend.xml for real. Every other time has been in VBox which obviously got changed every 30 days when testing the new update installs so it never had a chance to appear. I've now added the FirstLogonCommands piece mentioned above to my autounattend.xml file. Something new to test in VBox! Bit OT. I had managed, with Macrium Reflect, to keep my system going for just under 3 years, but thought it was about time I did a fresh install, odd things were starting to happen (for one, Acrobat XI kept disappearing/not loading, resolved that by installing Foxit!). Hence my first real tryout of the slipped install from usb. And I'd like to thank the abundant suppliers of useful information here, Legolash with WinToolkit comes first!, that have helped me build up a decent install disc with slipstreaming, Setupcomplete.cmd, firstlogon.cmd etc. etc..

Are you going straight to the "installed updates" window? I think you have to run windows update before you can see any hidden updates, installed updates (the slipstreamed list), update history (downloaded from windows via internet) etc.

I'm another fan of Rufus. For some reason (for me) it seems its the only USB loader that gives the option "press any key to boot from usb..." whereas any other I've tried, so far, just auto boot to the usb. A right pain in the burrtocks (Ta Forrest Gump!) when you are out the room when an install shuts the pc and restarts and you're not there to rip the usb drive out.

Well. I must've spent the best part of 8 hours (on and off) today swapping odds n sods out of the autounattend.xml file. The only thing I have learnt is that my head hurts!! But there is good news! Took my 15 year old (1998) Mark 3 VW Polo for its annual MOT (road worthiness) test/certificate today, and it sailed through! All I'd done in the last 12 months (yesterday at that) was buy two new tyres for the front. My head is now hurting and more than slightly hazy as the "possible car repair money" got spent on a few celebratory beers! I think I'll give up trying to figure this issue out, for now. I'll just make sure I always have a repair disc to hand. Trouble is, I hate being defeated, so I know it won't go away!!

That didn't seem to do the trick. I'm going to try it out on a virgin (key inserted only) iso, it may yet be something I've ripped out with WinToolKit! I'll report back!

That's a better wild guess than any I have! I'll give it a spin in VBox! Here I go. Wish me luck. I may be gone a while......

Hi All, Have a minor issue with my autounattend.xml file in as far as I don't get to see the Install Windows 7 Now screen with the repair option towards the bottom left corner. All I do get is which disk to install it to. I even disable that when running a test in VBox. I didn't realise until the other day when I could have done with doing a repair install that I didn't have that option (got round it by renaming the autounattend file on my usb). Could someone pass an eye over my autounattend file and tell me which 'string' I need to disable? B.T.W. the autounattend file has been validated with WSIM, just hope someone can help save me some time by not having to do a trial and error method of finding what I need to disable/remove. <?xml

@ bphlpt I totally agree with what you say re Rick. My intention in my first of the last two posts was not to snipe. Sadly it reads that way. I blame the sherbets (beers) I'd tucked under my belt that night/day. I'll leave as is for now but if anyone wants it edited by myself and/or anyone wants to delete it, feel free. I also agree that I don't want to see the ads, but 5 seconds out of a month (?) is hardly a waste of my life, it was the inability to get the download (I now know how) that was bugging me, nothing to do with Rick. Offence, or abruptness was not my intention. Jeez! I love his work! If I was in a better financial situation I'd bung, even if it was only 5 sobs, his way for his effort. One day my finances will turn a (hopefully good) corner and I'll then be in that situation.

Today I turned off Ad Muncher which I've been using for two/three months and got a download no problem! Must be something in Ad Munchers db now that doesn't agree with AdFly. So I can crawl back into me hole with a happy smile on me face! :dancing: :dancing: :dancing:

Hmm. This has got my attention! Luckily I grabbed the latest version before all this kerfaffle started. I did start getting, as I entered the ad.fly page, a pop up but normally clicking on Stay on Page would keep the 5 sec countdown going. I started to read this thread so thought I'd try to re download and see what the fuss was about and I got the above prompt once. But for a change and thereafter I've got/am getting/will most likely keep getting: Sorry, but the requested page was not found! Looks like originally I was just in time. This was with clearing all cookies, history etc. between each attempt. Which to be honest, if anything further, is like asking Adobe why Photoshop won't install, the response being "try re-installing your system and all the other stuff you depend on, on a daily basis, let us know when you find an answer" (that's Adobes attitude BTW, not yours). This is on latest PaleMoon 32bit (a FF derivative). Latest portable PaleMoon 64bit. I.E 9 32 and 64bit. Portable FF 21 32bit. All run as normal and in "Safe Mode" wherever possible and not prepared to install/run any other t'interweb whores/browsers.. Elmers having a sad day!! :crying_anim02: There's only so much effort you throw in, before the towel, to support someone's efforts on a limited (0) budget before you think, "sod it. I'll find another source". Seems I'll now need to learn how to build me own slim stuff! Aah well, all good things come to an end. It was good while it lasted. Edited. Ferkin speeling mistookes.

After a couple of cups of coffee and whilst (she) was on a trip to the shop to get me some baccy, the step-daughters PC miraculously unlocked itself! The SD learnt a lesson there. Don't use the same password to lock your PC that you was using when you were 14! She now has that sort of 'look of terror' as to what I may, or may not (not!) seen on her PC. I, of course, are remaining silent, but giving plenty of knowing smiles and winks out! Well, you have to take the mickey, don't you! It was actually a Public Network I was trying to set in the autounattend file as opposed to a Home one. Although those registry key entries will come in very handy and a big Thanks for those!

Aah Haa! Issue is resolved! It appears to happen when dotNET 4.5 slim is being installed into the virtual machine. By the use of logging when it starts and ends I've discovered it takes anything from 10 to 15 minutes to fully install with mscorsvw.exe doing its thing. Its during this time I usually nip to the loo, do a brew, grab a sarnie, have a tab or two etc.. Today I thought I'd go and stand in the garden and catch some rays. It was then I spotted my 27 yr old step-daughter rapidly tapping the shift key!!! Oh how she laughed!! She's off out tonight. Wonder if she'll laugh tomorrow when she discovers I've changed her log in password that she thinks I don't know!! Now one thing I would like to know. If I set network in the autounattend file to Public as opposed to Home the install fails on any version of Win 7 I try out in VBox. Is there any way I can do this? If I try to skip choosing a network I get the window prompting me to set one when I finally get to the desktop. Any ideas?

Other day when trying out my unattended install in vBox I had a prompt asking me if I wanted to turn sticky keys on or off. I thought nothing (much) of it as maybe I had tapped /something rested on the shift key. However, its just happened again. This time I went through the motions of disabling this but it's slightly perplexing as to why this has only recently started happening. Maybe I've gone a step too far with what I'm removing/tweaking with WinToolKit or maybe something in my autounattend file that's not jumping out at me. Can someone cast a fresh eye over these in case I'm missing the obvious? First, the ini file from WinToolKit. Only thing missing from this list here is the updates to keep it shorter! *AIO#ComponentsAustralia Local PackBitLocker Drive EncryptionCanada Local PackClips In The LibraryCommon Modem DriversDelete 'Support' folderDVD MakerHyper-V VMBUS DriverIIS Addons 1IIS Addons 2INDEXING SERVICEInternet Explorer TroubleshootersInternet GamesMEDIA FEATURESMicrosoft AgentMicrosoft-Hyper-V-GuestMobile PC Client Components (Basic)Mobile PC Client Components (Premium)Mobile PC Client SideShow ComponentsMobile PC Sensors ALS DriverMusic and Video ExamplesMusic and Video Examples (Ringtones)New Zealand Local PackOEM Help CustomizationOFFLINE FILESParental ControlsPremium Inbox GamesPrinter DriversScan ManagementShare Media Control PanelSTICKY NOTESTV Tuner DriversUnited States Local PackVirtual XP Licensing PoliciesVirtualPC (USB)VirtualPC Licensing PoliciesWindows Anytime UpgradeWindows Anytime Upgrade ResultsWindows BackupWindows Media CenterWindows Media Codec PackWindows Media Codec Pack EncoderWindows Media Format RuntimeWindows Media PlayerWindows Media Player DVD RegistrationWindows Media Player Network Sharing ServiceWindows Media Player TroubleshootersWindows Search#ServicesBitLocker Drive Encryption::DisabledCertificate Propagation::DisabledDNS Client::ManualFax::DisabledOffline Files::MANUALParental Controls::DisabledSecondary Logon::DisabledSmart Card::DisabledSmart Card Removal Policy::DisabledWindows Defender::ManualWindows Media Player Network Sharing::ManualWindows Search::DisabledWorld Wide Web Publishing::Disabled#TweaksAdd 'Unpack' to *.msi context menuRemove 'Add to WMP list' from Audio context-menuRemove 'Print' from context-menuRemove 'Troubleshoot Compatiblity' from context-menuDisable Language BarTaskbar Buttons::Always combine, hide labelsAlways Show Menu BarsControl Panel View::Small IconsDisable 8.3 Name CreationDisable Last File Access TimestampDisable Low Disk Space NotificationDisable Search Online on Unknown File ExtensionsDisable Shortcut Link ResolveIncrease Icon CacheRemove 'HomeGroup' from ExplorerRemove 'Libraries' from ExplorerRemove Shortcut ArrowRemove Shortcut SuffixShow Drive Letters FirstShow File ExtensionsShow Hidden Files & FoldersShow System FilesDisable Auto Reboot after installing updatesDisable Windows Media Player AutoUpdatesShow Notepad StatusbarAlways Show Menu BarAlways Switch To New Tabs When They Are CreatedChange The Title of Internet Explorer::Elmers T'InterwebClear History on ExitDisable Default Browser CheckDisable First Run CustomizeDisable Internet Explorer to Check for UpdatesDisable Warning on Close (Tabs)Faster Browsing in IE IE Homepage::www.cl.cam.ac.ukRemove Links BarSet Google as Search ProviderShow IE StatusbarTurn Off RSS feed discoveryUnlimited Simultaneous DownloadsWhen a New tab Opens::A Blank PageWhen a pop-up is encountered::New TabAdministrative Tools::HideComputer::LinkConnect To::HideControl Panel::LinkDefault Programs::HideDevices and Printers::HideDocuments::HideDownloads::HideFavorites::HideGames::HideHelp and Support::HideHomegroup::HideMusic::HideNetwork::HidePersonal::HidePictures::HideRecent Docs::HideRecorded TV::HideRun::ShowVideos::HideSort All Programs menu by name::DisableNumber of recent programs to display::2Number of recent items to display in Jump Lists::1Disable Startup soundDisable User Account ControlShutdown QuickerDisable Automatic Restart on BSODDisable Dr WatsonDisable HibernationDisable NTFS EncryptionDisable Window 7 built-in CD/DVD BurningLarge System Cache::EnableTurn off system beeps#vLiteSpeech and Natural Language#UpdatesREMOVED FROM LIST FOR BREVITY#OptionsCompatibility CheckCreate BackupsEnable CMDIntegrate 'HDC' Drivers (boot.wim)Integrate 'SCSIADAPTER' Drivers (boot.wim)Integrate 'SYSTEM' Drivers (boot.wim)Log Registry Changes;Prepare Drivers;Prompt Addons;Prompt Drivers;Prompt GadgetsPrompt SilentPrompt Themes;Prompt Updates;Prompt WallpapersRebuild ImageShow Browse DialogShow DuplicatesAnd the autounattend.xml is: I've also a fair few reg tweeks, only one of which would touch on "accessibility" and all that does is hides it from site in the Control Panel.

This has probably been asked before, and solved! But: When adding new upates to the image file & WinToolKit finishes, it shows all updates tweaks etc. that have been created and added/removed from the wim so far. Would it be possible to generate a list of all the work you've done to the wim file? If I hit the save button I get the same as the preset I've just named and saved before it started. At the moment I'm searching through my saved presets and trying to match up the 'unmatched' to make up a "Total" preset in case I start from scratch, which I do, for fun. Off that topic, I used to ewdit a saved txt or a.n.other file to remove older presets from the list I can choose from, without deleting them. What was that file and where can I find it these days? TIA

You can tell I haven't done any slipping for 6 months!! I just spotted a Microsoft.NET folder in programs (x86) but not in programs!! All (x86, x64) present and correct in %WinDir%. (I feel a right eejit!! )

@Rick. Hi mate, running x64 on VB but installs only 32bit in VB, would that be right? Can I force to do x64 (or both!!)?

Yeah, I was in a rush!! (well the dog was!).

Even though I've un-checked the "Detect AntiVirus" button, when I start to make an image it still sends a pop-up 'AntiVirus detected'. I discovered this mainly when I took the dog out for an hour, when I got back I discovered my image hadn't even started!

Ignore last post. I'm a blind ole bugger!

Hi Lego! Not been about for a bit but thought it was about time I updated my "base" image files. Now, forgive me if I'm wrong but at the moment I can't find the .cab from .msu extract tool, to lighten the load. Then again at the mo, I've had a few bevvies! If it's gone can you advise the best way. When you've a few 7-zip isn't too helpfu!! G'luck to you Sir and keep up the excellent work. Elmer. P.S. Has your numbering system changed as I've just downloaded the newest direct from here and the one it replaced had a higher serial, or mark number.

All hail TH-TECH!! We are so not worthy!!

Whereabouts in the autounattend file would I put that Etz??

I've always used Media Monkey in a Media Player skin to annoy the neighbours with my taste in Northern Soul. For vids etc. I use MPC. I went off WMP years ago as it seemed to be trying to take over my files without having the common decency to ask me first!! (but it looks nice, hence the skin for MM)

I'll agree with the adding of MS updates. I have a link but on many occasions even that sends me to the "use your in built updater". Err... That's Windows updates, not MS updates!!
