What's the best way to add tweaks to an Unattended Win7 Install?

[ZooBooBooZoo]

Hi.

 

I wanna some of the tweaks, like these: http://www.blackviper.com/2009/10/01/black-vipers-windows-7-super-tweaks/

 

to my unattended install of Windows 7

what's the best way to do it? reg files? is there away to do this using WAIK ?

You can use reg file(s) (can be imported in WinToolkit), custom Autounattend.xml file, and WinToolkit itself have some of these.

Don't know for WAIK.

WAIK creates the autounattend.xml, how can I add these tweaks to the xml?

a thread about Autounattend.xml

 

 

Here is an example to disable the system restore (for x86 & x64)

<settings pass="specialize">        <component name="Microsoft-Windows-SystemRestore-Main" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">            <DisableSR>1</DisableSR>        </component>                       <component name="Microsoft-Windows-SystemRestore-Main" 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">            <DisableSR>1</DisableSR>        </component>    </settings>

This works using Autounattend.xml, gather all you tweeks into one .reg file and create a WinRAR SFX

 

Create SFX

 

Compression: Store

Place SFX script commands in tab commands:

 

----- START SFX SCRIPT ------

;The comment below contains SFX script commands
Setup=regedit.exe /S Win7_Setup.reg
TempMode
Silent=1
Overwrite=1

----- END SFX SCRIPT ------

 

Create a folder called $oem$ within that folder create another called $1 put your SFX in the $1 folder then put the $oem$ in the sources folder

 

<--- Autounattend.xml Script--->

 

    <settings pass="oobeSystem">
        <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
            <FirstLogonCommands>
                <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">
                <Order>1</Order>    
                <CommandLine>fsutil behavior set EncryptPagingFile 1</CommandLine>
                <Description>Encrypt the Pagefile</Description>
                </SynchronousCommand>    
                <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">
                <Order>2</Order>    
                <CommandLine>%Systemdrive%\WPI\WPI.exe</CommandLine>
                <Description>Program Installation</Description>
                </SynchronousCommand>    
                <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">
                <Order>3</Order>
                <CommandLine>%Systemdrive%\Win7_Setup.exe</CommandLine>
                <Description>Registry Settings</Description>
                </SynchronousCommand>
                <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">
                <Order>4</Order>
                <CommandLine>shutdown /r /f /t 60 /c "This system will restart in 60 seconds..."</CommandLine>
                <Description>Reboot System</Description>
                </SynchronousCommand>
            </FirstLogonCommands>

 

<---End Autounattend.xml Script--->

 

Your Settings are applied at first logon with a reboot

Nice app, fits my needs nicely. One comment, on the download page http://www.wincert.net/forum/topic/9409-tool-dxtool/  "DXTool x86 v1.1.5.5" when you click "Download" s3.amazonaws.com wants to download it without a file extension (.exe).

is the security of IE that does this (file .exe ehh), download from another browser and you will be OK
