You didn't look very well then. Look in their forum, and on the dedicated unattended website. The links to both are located on the main page.

I'm not trying to brush you off, but there's no way I'm going to rehash the wealth of info they have.

You will be surprised at how easy it really is once you get a basic unattended disc working. My advice is to start with just getting windows to install unattended without any custom stuff. Then slowly add custom stuff and test often.

I would avoid silent installing apps, but it's a personal choice. I prefer to use portable software as much as possible on a different drive. That way when I do a clean install, I don't have to install and customize everything all over again, plus I avoid the work of making silent installers and such. I also don't have to backup anything before formatting because I keep nothing on C:

Why not ditch XP and just straight plain windows 7 since you say at the bottem you are running windows 7 thus just run windows 7 why bother trying to make windows XP Look like windows 7 or vista for that matter . yea ya can simulate- Mimic the look sorta of windows new look but you wont get none of the features or functionality let alone the Performance gains you will get from it

For your silent install programs use add-ons. You can make your own with nLite Add-on Maker or find some at these URLs...

Reg tweaks can be added by using the $OEM$ folder and GuiRunOnce that's located in the unattended section of nLite.

You say you have your XP updates already. Make sure to check what you have against this list...

what is the specification of her PC cause i installed windows 7 ultimate on my moms AMD Athlon XP 32bit 2200+ system with 1.5gig ram and a 8400GS graphics and it works just fine it works better then XP with SP3 and that is both having a fresh install

well it's and amd sampron 1.8ghz with 768mb memory and ati 8mb gfx card very old pc needs to be updated but as she only uses it for card games and internet then it's ok for her, as last time she got my windows 7 pc she killed it with downloading games :angry:.

P.S i am hoping to build her a new 1 but i need a cpu for it an amd am2 as it will also take ddr2 memory, i have a few spare an a old ati readon x850 gfx card to have but, can't find any cheap sites or shops it get a cpu from.

    • The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
