ImDisk + ToolKit Download EDIT: did some cleanup and added GUIMode="2" to sfx config. recreated all my silent installers with $FX-CreatoR

hi i didn't see this thread till now. but this is me! i spend most of my time in front of my computer. i thought i had the genius idea of automating the install of windows, and then i found wincert. haha. i have thousands of ideas in my head mosly regarding windows general user interface and simplifing everything that has an extension.. :\ i'm currently working on my own "windows distro" or windows "service hack" if you like a never ending project i first started on in 06 or so in good ol' windows xp hehe. now it's windows 7 for the win and i think i'm a long way from done, so you'll all see me here quite often. when sdx.os finally is done i'll start the blog i was thinking about a couple of years ago and maybe tell all the things i waste my time on ^^, good plan. keep up with me and i'll stay for a long time bwahhaah. cheers!

that didn't work. tried several roots to be shure but with no luck. but since im the only one who is experiencing this it must be my config. i'll try it in a vm tomorrow

i ended up creating a batch that prints the the info to an xml from an ini config easy to change info between computers where small chages is needed. the standard print is Edit: maybe it wasn't such a great idea writing this by hand. tried installing with it and got three different errors :S one of them was a unclosed node but now i'm downloading WAIK just to figure out the other two.. 1.7gb download :S if anyone can find the waldos please tell me Edit2: - first one was the comment node at the start of the script. the first node in autounnatend.xml has to be the xml declaration. duh - the second was not adding a windows image (wim) inforamation in the xml. my template came from WinToolKit so i thought that was in there here is the new and working answer file: (without the wim image info) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> <servicing></servicing> <settings pass="windowsPE"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <SetupUILanguage> <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage> </SetupUILanguage> <InputLocale>0414:00000414</InputLocale> <SystemLocale>en-US</SystemLocale> <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage> <UserLocale>nb-NO</UserLocale> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <UserData> <ImageInstall> <OSImage> <InstallTo> <DiskID></DiskID> <PartitionID></PartitionID> </InstallTo> </OSImage> </ImageInstall> <AcceptEula>true</AcceptEula> <FullName>Profess0r1011000</FullName> <Organization>SDX Corp</Organization> <ProductKey> <Key>XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX</Key> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> </ProductKey> </UserData> </component> </settings> <settings pass="specialize"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP-UX" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <SkipAutoActivation>true</SkipAutoActivation> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-UnattendedJoin" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <Identification> <JoinWorkgroup>SlackGroup</JoinWorkgroup> </Identification> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <InputLocale>0414:00000414</InputLocale> <SystemLocale>en-US</SystemLocale> <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage> <UserLocale>nb-NO</UserLocale> </component> </settings> <settings pass="oobeSystem"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <InputLocale>0414:00000414</InputLocale> <SystemLocale>en-US</SystemLocale> <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage> <UserLocale>nb-NO</UserLocale> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <TimeZone>Romance Standard Time</TimeZone> <ProductKey>XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX</ProductKey> <ComputerName>SDX</ComputerName> <RegisteredOwner>Profess0r1011000</RegisteredOwner> <RegisteredOrganization>SDX Corp</RegisteredOrganization> <OOBE> <HideEULAPage>true</HideEULAPage> <HideWirelessSetupInOOBE>true</HideWirelessSetupInOOBE> <NetworkLocation>Other</NetworkLocation> <ProtectYourPC>3</ProtectYourPC> </OOBE> <OEMInformation> <HelpCustomized>false</HelpCustomized> <Manufacturer>SDX.OS</Manufacturer> <Model>x64 v3.01 b325</Model> <Logo>C:\Windows\OEM\Logo.bmp</Logo> <SupportHours>24/7</SupportHours> <SupportPhone>123-456-7890</SupportPhone> <SupportURL>http://www.sdxos.com</SupportURL> </OEMInformation> <UserAccounts> <AdministratorPassword> <Value>QQBkAG0AaQBuAGkAcwB0AHIAYQB0AG8AcgBQAGEAcwBzAHcAbwByAGQA</Value> <PlainText>false</PlainText> </AdministratorPassword> <LocalAccounts> <LocalAccount wcm:action="add"> <Password> <Value>UABhAHMAcwB3AG8AcgBkAA==</Value> <PlainText>false</PlainText> </Password> <DisplayName>installer account</DisplayName> <Name>SDX.temp</Name> <Group>Administrators;Power Users</Group> </LocalAccount> </LocalAccounts> </UserAccounts> </component> </settings><cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:x:/$dx.cd/mount/sources/install.wim#Windows 7 ULTIMATE" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" /></unattend>

do you need the x86 parts when running a windows x64 setup? in my case the wim image contains only win7 sp1 ultra x64 Edit: never mind that. after looking at sevral examples my question was explained

great work

hi, i get this error when i start the batch: no idea what to to do about it. the file is there but its not really created since it's taking 0kb. if i cancel the setup continiues but only the x64 installer is included in the aio setup.

aha! so i can't add this as a silent install in wintoolkit. i got four error dialogs (2005 and 2008 both builds). but it will work if i install it after first logon? huge time saver anyways thanks rick

great!! with the rollup coudn't say for shure if ricktendo's slim installer was updated.. so i'll install this. you should make a slim version of this as ricktendo has done 200 megs is so tempting
