    [SOLVED] After Installation C:\Windows.old and C:\Windows.old.000

    in Microsoft Windows 7

    Posted · Edited by x23piracy

    Hi,

     

    i don't know since which build of my AIO this is happen but after a clean install i have

    C:\Windows.old C:\Windows.old.000 and C:\Windows in the C root.

     

    How can this happen?

     

    ...I should start from scratch!

     

     

    EDIT:

     

    Forget it guys iam to hard in rage because of the not working usb stick in another thread from me.

    I just didn't deleted the existing windows installation on the hdd so the setup made a backup dir

    for the windows directory.

     

    No Problem! SOLVED

    Sandisk Extreme 3.0 32GB can't go on at install destination?

    in Win Toolkit

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    first i tried with wintoolkit and the sandisk didn't boot.

    then i tried the microsoft tool to create a usb stick, with that it boot but now i have a another mistake.

     

    Setup will find all hdds but will not install to any of it the error message is:

     

    I have to translate from german to english by myself...

    Setup cannot create a new system partition or find an existing partition to install to...

     

    But i see all the harddisks and i also can create or delete partitions on them but if i choose one

    partition to install to i get the error message above... Damn i shouldn't bougth a usb 3.0 i should took a usb 2.0 one.

     

    What a bull****... (related to usb 3.0)

     

    I do the same procedure with an usb 2.0 stick anything works.

    Working directory while Installer is running (batch)

    in Win Toolkit

    Posted · Edited by x23piracy

    Hi,

     

    i have some problems with installing silent installers.

     

    For example i have Microsoft Navision (setup.exe and a Classic.xml)

    To install silent i use (/quiet /config Classic.xml) that works while testing on a running system.

     

    But when the Installer is calling that it doesn't work. So iam sure this have to do with the working

    directory when installer is callung Classic.xml (What is the working directory installer uses when triggering any of the sfx)?

     

    What would be the best way for a full path?

    setup.exe /quiet /config %cd%\Classic.xml?

    will this work?

     

    As Workaround i didnt used setup.exe i created a setup.bat

     

    setup.exe /quiet /config Classic.xmldel setup.bat

    like that it works but i think its dirty because the setup.bat isnt necessary and i dont want to use it, calling setup.exe directly is the right way but how?

     

    Another thing is i install some reg files with batches and they also fail cannot find the entrys later in the system registry.

     

    I use the following syntax with an sfx:

     

     

    reg import file.reg

    Seems to be the same failure with working directory as above, should i here also use

     

     

    reg import %cd%\file.reg

    ?

     

    Is this Problem is not related to the working directory is it possible that installer doesnt trigger the sfx with admin rights?

    For example i have Broadgun a pdf printer, i also install it via a batch setup.bat and it also not work if the installer has finished.

     

    I know if i try my sfx on a test system it will only install broadgun correctly if i start the sfx with admin right, so with which rights installer starts the sfx that should be installed?

    Pseudo unattended hostname question at the beginning of setup

    in Win Toolkit

    Posted · Edited by x23piracy

    Hi,

     

    i mostly use a unattended setup but i keep the question about windows 7 edition, and partitioning.

    Later in Setup with Installer (WTK) i install a program that will need to enter the destination hostname for its configuration to work.

     

    What if i disable:

    <ComputerName>*</ComputerName>

    at what position setup will ask me for the computername?, it important that this will happen before Installer (WTK) is executed.

    BTW is it possible to get the hostname question at the beginning of the windows 7 setup (when it asks for edition and partitioning)?

    Hi,

     

    You can try to change the order passes to:

     

    1 - <settings pass="windowsPE">

    2 - <settings pass="specialize">

    3 - <settings pass="oobeSystem">

     

    And check your file with WSIM!

     

    i will try to sort it, wsim doesnt cry with that file.

     

     

    Please, put such long files in a spoiler

     

    did it.

    BUG - WinToolkit installer and path

    in Win Toolkit

    Posted · Edited by x23piracy

    Hi,

     

    yeah but moving the Apps folder means, grab it out of the iso and save the iso without the folder?

    Isn't there a managed way? What i mean is an option for installer like dont integrate Apps folder,

    just prepare it in folder X then i can copy that folder to any other drive, without grabbing the stuff

    out of the finished iso and so on.

     

     

    @crashfly

     

    I
    read somewhere also that a feature is on the horizon, that if Win
    Toolkit doesn't find the WinToolkit_Apps folder it will prompt the
    user to browse for it's location. Nice :)

     

    I hope it will then also work when the Apps folder contains more stuff then expected.

    What iam trying to say is, normally the list what to install is hardcoded at the moment i start the process with wintoolkit,

    afaik it contains the list in the registry.

     

    A simple file in the root of the Apps folder, like contents.ini or something would be nice!

    Another present would be profiles, means a dropdown box where i can select for example:

     

    Work - Company XY - Computer

    Work - Company XY - Notebook

     

    Should be easy to realize, lego just add a dropdown menu, then in sfx i can set a option for any

    apps (like a matrix that i can check) to which profile that app belongs to.

     

    vhg7st3v.jpg

     

    Then a menu option where i can define profile names. Then later when the installer is triggered

    user can choose from profiles that check the right apps for you or can decide to choose manually.

     

    So i can install different system with the same base but different apps without choosing the right

    ones out of a list from 20-100 apps.

     

    Another idea is to input network drive credentials directly into wintoolkit so it can mount a net ressource

    to locate the apps folder automatically. (Maybe realised as program option)

    Hi,

     

    You can use the tweaks in WinToolkit to do that.

     

    i must been blind, with my last run above the list i didn't meantioned it.

     

     

    Yep! I use also:

    <settings pass="specialize" wasPassProcessed="true">
    <component name="Microsoft-Windows-IE-InternetExplorer" 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">
    <DisableFirstRunWizard>true</DisableFirstRunWizard>
    <DisableWelcomePage>true</DisableWelcomePage>

     

    Strange, i also use it the same way but with installer i install greenshot.

    After the installation of greenshot it opens a webpage... with that it opens a second page with the firstrunwizard.

     

    Does the setting only work with firstload? Maybe not in stage the wintoolkit installer run on?

     

    If anyone else installing greenshot with the outofthebox installer, i use the following to exit ie after greenshot opened it:

     

    taskkill /F /IM iexplore.exe

    install update... how?

    in Win Toolkit

    Posted · Edited by x23piracy

    Hi,

     

    thank you for the link but i cannot clear it totally.

    GDR means everything windows update website offers?

     

    and the rest are special hotfixes for problems but also including the security fixes,

    but to get those updates i have to visit special ms links or have to order special hotfixes from ms?

     

    MCRip offers both?

    Damn iam not sure which update base to use to integrate :) argh

    Hi,

     

    if wintoolkit scan on every drive with a letter and additionally on x:\sources\apps how can i define

    in wintoolkit to not integrate all the installers to the iso root?

     

    The reason to not integrate Apps into the iso is space so how to do it?

     

    What i want is having the installer but having the apps physically on a net drive like x:\sources\apps

    but wintoolkit always integrates the apps into the iso.

     

    And howto mount the remote resource? making a batch with the net use and trigger it locally (integrated to iso)

    with the installer? iam confused... :)

     

    Hints please.
