Software / Automatic installing Windows

« on: August 01, 2003, 02:40:49 PM »

I don't know the specifics of either, but I do know they are an "image". They have a base install, then they run a program called sysprep on it. Then they save the image and put it on all the new pc's. When you take it home and start it up, it runs through a mini-setup. All of this can be customized (most if not everything in mini-setup).

So I would start by looking into sysprep.

Software / dx and ie slipstreaming

« on: July 10, 2003, 11:59:14 AM »

I run a script at the end of the install, that installs them silently.

IE6 and MDAC as far as I know can not be slipstreamed.

I've heard of DX9a being slipstreamed (manually adding files, and hacking HIVE files), but I don't have the details.

Your correct, and you can sign up for free to become a M$ OEM at http://oem.microsoft.com

Then you are using WinPE legally.

Software / Installing XP -ON- a CD (not a bootable setup CD)

« on: June 18, 2003, 10:46:08 AM »

I can't help you with the info you requested. But . . .

Windows PE is a mini version of WinXP. It doesn't have the desktop, and it is command line.

\"But I want a desktop . . .\"

I have heard of people putting alt shells on WinPE and having a start button, icons, etc.

I've even heard of people putting Mozzila on it for web browsing.

I know this doesn't answer your questions, but I'm just trying to help out with alternitives for what you wanted to do.

Software / Burning Windows PE

« on: May 09, 2003, 05:31:22 PM »

FDISK.exe has been replaced with diskpart.exe

It can wipe the disk, create partitions, format to FAT32/NTFS and all without a reboot. You can then start laying down files or start an unattended install.

The file you can edit is startnet.cmd; just add a line like \"call mybatch.bat\" to the end. Then add your batch file to the system32 folder before you burn the cd.

Just add whatever files you want to the system32 folder before you create the image. Just make sure that your tools can run in a 32bit OS (try them at a command window first).

Software / Windows PE Questions

« on: May 06, 2003, 03:42:58 PM »

Windows PE or \"Windows Preinstallation Environment\" is meant to be a deployment tool. It is meant to replace a 20 year old 16bit DOS environment with a newer 32bit or 64bit kernel based on WinXP or Win2k3 Server.

Software / Outlook & Outlook Express

« on: May 04, 2003, 09:55:07 AM »

You would need to setup a network share on your desktop, Map a drive on your laptop to that share, then point your outlook to load the PST file from that network drive.

you will run into problems though if you loose wireless connection, I'd run a test on a new PST file before I would use my main data file for email.
