    AIO Tool - Apply unattended

    in WinToolkit Bugs

    Posted · Edited by Etz

    Well I have a MSDN subscription and definately it doesnt work on Images that are available from there.

     

    Tested Mostly on Windows 8(.1) Images, will try Windows 7 Image aswell, but so far it has always been working when XML is put into ther root if install media, so there is absolutely no need whatsoever to put it into sources folder.

     

    And it has it has been working this way from the launch for Windows Vista, so why try to fix and reimplement something that is not broken?

     

    Also, places where Setup will actually look (and in what Stage) for XML is described here:

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749415%28v=ws.10%29.aspx

     

     

    for me only there it's working

     

    Apparently there is something wrong with your image then, from where did you acquire it?

     

    EDIT: Did a quick test on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64 Image aswell, same result, works when XML is in root, does not work if its in sources folder.

    Image which I tested is this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/downloads/#FileId=46948

    AIO Tool - Apply unattended

    In WinToolkit 1.4.38.5 AIO tool, apply Unattended (Quick option), XML is not copied into DVD root its copied into Sources folder instead.

    Also broken in latest Stable 1.4.37.20, worked fine on older versions.

     

    For sucessful USB install it must be in Installer root for UEFI install to suceed unattended, currently Setup will still prompt all the options.

     

    EDIT: Tested DVD install also, doesnt work. Copying Autounattended.xml "manually" back from sources folder to root (where it actually should be) helps.

    Registry to find Adapter ?

    in Win Toolkit

    Well, you cant, but instead you could use pwoershell or VBS script to detect adapter and inject that reg key after that for corresponding adapter.

     

    There are plenty examples in the internet, how to Detect Adapter and change different parameters on it...

    Of course can Shark codecs be installed silently and without toolbars & co.!

     

    You must unpack (7zip) the original-installer and use only the exe-file:

     

    Advanced.exe /S /v/qn for the 32bit-codecs

    Advanced_x64Components.exe -ai for the additional x64-components

     

    After the installation the installed codecs starts and calls the IE, but don't worry, it doesn't stops the installation of the following silent installers!

     

    BTW, this is not growing on my efforts, it's in the Shark007-forum!

     

    http://shark007.net/forum/Thread-Commandline-installation

     

    Thiersee

     

     

    Yes, I know that extracting them helps (I also have read this thread in his forum) but extracting/repackaging breaks the way, how I automatically keep all my installers up to date eq Automation. Also doesnt change the fact, that by default they cannot be installed silently and without Malware or Junk.

     

    Ofc, I could extract those, repackage all installers...but why should I, if there are better suitable alternatives?

     

    Anyway...wont generate anymore offtopic into this thread... :)

     

    PS: Just my 2 cents, if creating Unattended windows Installer with software (repackaging, etc, etc) takes more time, then actually installing those manual way, it pretty much defeats the purpose, at least for me...

    I use K-Lite pack myself in conjunction with WMP  (As K-lite pack is fully unattended and configurable via external install file)  and I cannot remember my RyanVM forum logon details, but this is totally OT, I guess... ;)

     

    Also Lego made major improvements to WinToolkit Installer lately, making possible to Install stuff, with external config files possible in WinToolkit too.

    Built image from scratch, and still no joy...

     

    No CMD window, but install failed.

     

    Now it wrapped syntax between " marks.

    03/21/2014 22:31:15.965    SETUP (0xb98)    0xb6c        Click-To-Run    aqkhc    Medium    CmdLine:"D:\WinToolkit_Apps\Office_2013_Professional\Setup.exe" "/configure D:\WinToolkit_Apps\Office_2013_Professional\Setup.xml"

    As a result install failed:

    I am pretty sure I havent integrated it multiple times as I always start testing with untouched copy :)

    And I dont use install.ini (well at least so far).

     

    Anyway will build new one from scratch tomorrow (khmm...technically today) evening, but now...off to bed :)

    I may have mixed something and used old sourcedir, but its easy to figure out, there should be 2 entries in the registry then?

     

    Will mount registry and check whats in there, will let you know (takes couple of minutes), as it indeed runs twice.

     

    EDIT: Registry at least has only one entry present... :g:

    Anyway as I really may have mixed things up and used already processed source, I will try again at the evening.

    To be sure I just deleted that directory, so no more mixups are possible :)
