Dumpy Dooby Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 You can add INFs during textmode by adding entries to [HiveInfs.Fresh], [HiveInfs.Upgrade], and/or [HiveInfs.Fresh.RemoteBoot] (You should hopefully be able to figure out the meaning of those) in your TXTSETUP.SIF file. When you do this, the flags for registry entries changes slightly. Here they are.REG_SZ - 0x00000000REG_SZ_NOCLOBBER - 0x00000002REG_DWORD - 0x00010001REG_DWORD_NOCLOBBER - 0x00010003REG_MULTI_SZ - 0x00010000REG_BINARY - 0x00030003 REG_EXPAND_SZ - 0x00020000REG_EXPAND_SZ_NOCLOBBER - 0x00020002REG_NONE - 0x00020001VALUE_NOT_SET - 0x00000010 VALUE_NOT_SET_NOCLOBBER - 0x00000012The "noclobber" alternatives above indicate that if the registry entry already exists, it will not be overwritten. Obviously this is only useful if you're running an Update. On a Fresh install, it probably won't matter if you use a noclobber flag or not; the result is more than likely the same.A couple others that are more rare, and I'm not sure exactly under what conditions they ought to be used:REG_SZ - 0REG_SZ - [empty flag]REG_BINARY - 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumpy Dooby Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 (edited) No problem. I'm working on integrating an offline defrag driver into my Windows XP setup, and I wanted it available during PRESETUP.CMD to instantiate it on next boot so that my ROE installs are applied to a freshly defragged partition. Anyway, to accomplish that I had to learn all of the registry flags for the HiveInf files, and it took me a while to find that info so I figured I'd share it here. Probably too niche for most people, but at least the info can be easily found now. edit-As it turns out, those are all on gosh's website. I spent so much time looking for those. aww. lol.
