Official Installer will now update old versions (including 1.0.33):

http://www.gigamaniac.net/AutoStreamer.exe

This will automatically unregister the OCX files that were auto registering with the previous installer builds.

There is NO need to run the following command before installing the new build:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\msiexec.exe /x {D9CDB463-BB48-4B80-B1B6-5B940A4621E0}

Hi...I wonder if you could clear something up for me. I am using an older version of Autostreamer (which has been great) but would like to upgrade to the newest version.

I'm concerned about the post by "trattner" on page nine of this thread concerning the OCX files that were "registered".

I see from the post above, it has been corrected.

I don't fully understand this, nor do I need to.

My question is, if I uninstall my older version and install the latest release will this correct the problem? (I would prefer to uninstall the older version first).

Or, will uninstalling my old version somehow "mess up" these files? (In other words, do I have to install over the old version in order to correct it)

Thanks for helping out someone who knows how to use the program, but that's about it. :)

Thanks for the reply TheBlazingAngel.

I would have replied soner, but had a problem where I could log on, but not post.

ANYWAY, my real question is this: If I were to uninstall the older version first (Which I've already done), and THEN install the "fixed version" (which I've already done), from the link in my first post, will that be OK too?

In other words, will that also take care of the problem with the "registered OCX files", or was it bad to uninstall the old version first???

Bottom line:

I uninstalled an old version, then installed the "fixed" version.

Is the "OCX" problem ok on my Computer now?

Appreciate any more insite....thanks again.

I donwloaded the newest version of what seems to be quite a nifty program(specially for dial upper).My prob is when i double click the exe nothin happens.

All the files in the installation folder are there and i check task manager to see if there somethin related to autostreamer and nothing.

Sorry if this was already explained but im on some really bad dial up and just to load a page takes up to 5 minutes and i just dont have the time to read through it all working 14 hour days.

Any ideas on this problem?

Greetings :alien:

I streamed XP Pro & SP2 without issue & created the disk: no problem.

I have no need to use it at this time but thought I'd test it by running sfc /sannow.

The streamed disk ran thru about 1/3 of the process then asked for my XP CD.

I put in the Original & it ran for about a minute then asked me for the XP CD.

I put back the streamed disk & it ran to about 2/3 of the process then the above recurred with the same resolution & then the scan was completed.

Now I'm just wondering whether or not I created a good Streamed disk or perhaps something is wrong?

Thanks for any ideas & thanks for all the work you put into this! :yes:

Hi,

I made a SP2 slipstream CD from XP Pro the other day and noticed something a little odd.  When I insert my original XP CD Autostreamer shows that it is build 5.1.2600.0 (Gold) and 484MB.  When I insert my slipstreamed CD Autostreamer says the build and size is the same as my original CD.

I have the newest version of autostreamer(1.0.33)and I downloaded SP2 from the Microsoft website.  Is this normal?

Hi again, just wanted to give an update on the problem I had.

That slipstreamed CD I made that wasn't really slipstreamed ended up saving me a big headache and a lot of money. I built a new computer a couple weeks ago and when I tried to install Windows with the original CD I kept getting a disc boot error. I tried the CD made with Autostreamer and it installed without a problem. My original Windows CD somehow got messed up but thanks to Autostreamer I didn't have to buy another copy of Windows.

Just a couple days ago I took the CD made with Autostreamer and tried to slipstream it, and again it worked without any problems.

Thank you for making this great program! :D

Sorry for the long absence but been real busy working and troublehooting.

After tryin on other machines outta 8 machinesi could only get it to work on 1 machine and the other 7 had same prob as mine............error sound but no visual error report.

Good news is i found a program called nlite and it works fine on all machines i have tried.

Without autostreamer i woulda never found this other program either.Appreciate folks always willin to make things easier and faster.Have a nice day and good luck in future ventures.

I ran setupmgr.exe and created a unattend.txt with the TCP/IP settings I need. I figured I could just paste the info into my unattend.txt made by nLite, but the file is just a sample unattend. Do the settings bellow look good? Under network connections in windows, I have a 1394 and Local Area Connection 2. Will these settings only affect the local area connection? I put in *'s because I'm paranoid.

Also, with nLite if I integrate drivers for my (onboard) fasttrak RAID as textmode, I will not have to press F6, correct?

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.
    • I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
