1. Introduction
This
guide will show you how to build an automated installation CD of windows. With
everything configured.
Here
are some advantages of using unattended installations over imaging software and
Sysprep.
·
You
can manage one image per operating system.
·
Works
with all types of machines
·
No
need to change Sid’s using third party software or Sysprep
·
The
computer is installed with a method recommended by Microsoft. A computer
installed with imaging software is not a clean installation.
·
You
have a drivers database, so even if it’s is a new machine, the unattended installations
are going to work. Maybe you are going to miss one or two drivers. You can add
them to the new CD later.
·
Avoid
hidden hardware bug related to the machines not identical. (When installed with
imaging software).
·
Whoever
installs the computer will have the same software configuration
·
There
is no need to redo your images each time you add a patch or a fix
·
It
is possible to do everything from the network. But from the test I made, it’s
too slow.
·
No
speed problem when you install multiple computers in same time.
Another
good way would be to use to use Sysprep with imaging software like Norton
Ghost. This would be faster but, you would need more images, because Sysprep doesn’t
redetect the Hardware abstraction layer (HAL)
The hardware abstraction layer (HAL) is a layer of programming
that allows a computer operating system to interact with a hardware device.
Sysprep doesn’t reinstall the HAL, once an HAL type is
installed, you cannot change it. That means if you plan on using Sysprep; you will need
an image for each Hal type.

Sysprep is a mini install Wizard,
which generate a new Sid. Sysprep use an answer file that look like the one
from the unattended installations. Sysprep reset all the user profiles settings
and also redetect the hardware. That means that you are going to have to build an
answer file, and find a way to configure the user profiles. I find Sysprep
useful to change a hard drive of a machine.
2. Creation of the answer file
2.1 The answer files Wizard
The
first step is to create the answer file to put on the CD. The answer file
contains all the parameters to install a standard version of Windows 2000 or
XP. Each operating system requires it’s own answer file.
Unzip
deploy.cab from the Windows XP CD in a temporary directory. (You can find it
under: \SUPPORT\TOOLS) or you can
download it from wwww.microsoft.com/download. It’s better to download it from
the Microsoft website because; it’s going to be the latest version available.
When a new service pack comes out, they add some functions.
Start
SetupMGR.exe, select what you need.
Unfortunately
the Wizard is doing only a simple answer file, so you going to have to edit the
answer file manually. You can find help for the commands in the Deploy.cab, ref.chm and deploy.chm. It’s easier to start with an answer file, that’s
already working. Even on the Microsoft Website there are some syntax error on
their samples.
Here
are some examples of answer files. Figure 1 is made with Setupmgr.exe without
any modification.
Components
This section contains entries for installing the
components of Windows. Example: Calculator, Outlook Express, games.
GuiRunOnce
This section contains commands to execute the first
time the user logs on to the computer after the installation completes. It is good
to apply the last critical updates, registry fixes, or installation of
applications. The Batch file that runs in Runonce is Final.cmd, located in
\$OEM$\APPS\Patch.
Networking
This section configures the network cards. If left
empty, the network cards will be installed with the default settings. You can
configure, all the protocols settings, and networking services installed.

Regional
Settings
This section contains entries for installing
regional settings and the configuration of the Keyboard languages during Setup.
See figure 3 for the main Keyboard code. Having the good keyboard configuration
is not easy. Even if you have the good Keyboard code, the default English US
keyboard will probably come back. The easiest way to walk around this issue is to
fix the good keyboard configuration directly in the registries.
My Unattended installation does it the first time a
user log on. This is done through the Final.cmd batch file.
For the complete list of the Keyboard codes you can
go:
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/winxp/xp-lcid.mspx
Shell
This section contains entries for specifying the visual style of the user
interface. (The way the Desktop looks) You can configure Windows XP to use the
classic desktop, in this section. To use Windows Classic startup menu, change
the value in [SHELL] to DefaultStartPanelOff=Yes.

Unattended
This is the main section; most of the settings are
there, like drivers policies, partitions, activation of Windows.
Unattended
installations require a special directory structure. On the CDROM, you need to
create a directory $OEM$ at the root of the CDROM.

If
you need to add mass storage drivers, like raid cards or SCSI Hard drives. (For
hardware you will need to press F6 at the beginning of the installation.) I
didn’t test it. The SCSI hard drives that I tried worked fine. But it’s
probably not the case with a new hard drive.
\$OEM$\C
Represents
the C: drive, D would be the D drive etc...
3.2 Drivers Integration
Windows
XP let’s you add all kinds of drivers. But if the drivers are not signed
digitally Windows will prompt you, the first time an administrator logs in, if
you want to install them.
A
valid driver must include an .INF
and a .CAT, if you don’t have
those two files, your driver won’t work. If you can’t find your driver, there is
some software, like Windriver, Ghost or My Drivers that let you use drivers
already installed on your computer. For each driver, create a folder and place
the files under \$OEM$\DRV\DriverName.
For
each new driver going onto the CD, you have to add those lines on the Winnt.sif
file and modify the line OemPnPdriversPath and add an entry for the new drivers.
Winnt.sif supports a maximum of 255 characters per line.
Example: I am adding the NVIDIA driver:
[Unattended]
DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
OemPreinstall=Yes
OemPnPDriversPath=”Drv\Intel;Drv\Nvidia”
The Intel Chipset drivers require a special
procedure
- Download
the Intel Chipset Software utilities
- Extract
the drivers, running this command INFINST_ENU.exe –a –a C:\Extract\INF
- Create
the directory \$OEM$$\INF and
copy all the files from C:\Extract\INF
- Create
the directory \$OEM$\$1\Drv\Intel and copy all the files from C:\Extract\INF
- Modify
Winnt.sif and add the following:
[Unattended]
DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
OemPreinstall=Yes
OemPnPDriversPath=”Drv\Nvidial;Drv\Via”
Check this page for more details about
chipsets installation. http://support.intel.com/support/chipsets/inf/sb/CS-009276.htm
4. Critical updates installation
There
are two places where you can install critical updates, at the DOS based part of
the installation ($OEM$\Patches.bat) and also the first time the user logs in.
($OEM$\$1\Drv\Patch\UpXP.cmd)
The
updates are installed with batch files. Most patches made by Microsoft have the
same command line parameters. If you don’t know, you can type “834945.exe /?”
Always rename the patch to the 8.3 name format, Q354545.exe.
You
have three kinds of patches, for Internet Explorer, for Windows, and for MDAC.
Internet explorer and the normal critical updates patches have different icons.
The parameters look like this:
Internet
Explorer : 828750.exe /q:a /r:n
MDAC : 823718.exe /c:”dahotfix.exe /q /n” /q
Windows
: 819696.exe /q /z
To
install the critical updates I use a batch file that checks in the registries
if it’s already installed
The
Internet Explorer Patches are listed under the Key MinorVersion. So we need to
read this key to check if it’s already installed. Here’s an example. For the
patch Q831167, its looking for the value 831167, if its not there, run
%PATCH%\Q861167.exe /Q:A /R:N and install it.
Most
of the others patches are listed under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Updates\Windows XP\SP2\Qxxxxx.
This
command comes from the answer file, WINNT.SIF located in the CD_ROOT\I386. Under the
[GuiRunonce] section add a line like this:
[GuiRunonce]
%systemdrive%\Apps\Final.cmd
Patches.bat CMDLines.txt
4.3 Installing patches
during the DOS part of the installation
You
need to have a batch file in CD_ROOT\$OEM$\, and add an entry in CMDLines.txt.
This
part runs when only 13 minutes is left on the Windows Installation.
You
can download the updates from Windows Update Catalog. www.windowsupdate.com/catalog
To
free up some space on the Windows installation CD. You can delete some files
from the original CD. Here you can see the locations of the files, and what
they are used for.
|
Locations
of files
|
Used
to
|
|
\DotNetFx\
|
To
install Microsoft
Framework 1.0.
|
|
\I386\Lang
|
To
install Windows with special languages, like Chinese or
Korean.
|
|
\I386\Win9xMig
|
For applications migration
|
|
\I386\Win9xUpg
|
To do upgrade of Win9x computers to Windows
XP or Windows
2000. (The installation must be started from
Windows 9x to do
an update.)
|
|
\Support\
|
Contain Deploy.cab and the Remote Desktop
Client
|
|
\ValueADD\
|
Contain Third party software like the Citrix
Client.
|
You
can safely remove all those directories; you will save around 191 Megs. But you won’t be able
to do upgrade installations. Update only works if you start the
installation from Windows. (You cannot boot from the CD drive to do an Update)
To
install the Recovery Console, go on the CD, open a command prompt and type:
“i386\\winnt32.exe /cmdcons /unattended".
With
Windows XP the Recovery Console, by default, requires the local administrator
account to log in. But in place like here, the local admin password could be
ten passwords. So you can set the console to auto log in.
If you want to make the
Recovery Console to auto log in:
Add a DWORD SecurityLevel with the Value 00000001
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Setup\RecoveryConsole
If you want to be able
to write to floppies:
Add a DWORD SetCommand with the Value 00000001
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Setup\RecoveryConsole
6. Writing the CD with Ahead Nero 6
For this part I used Nero 6 and Isobuster.
Slipstreaming
Windows XP Service Pack 1 and Create Bootable CD
1. Download the (full) “Network Install” of the
Service Pack, and save it to a directory (folder) on your hard drive (in my
case C:\WinXP)
2. Next copy your Windows XP CD to your hard
drive. Just create a folder (I used C:\XPCD), and copy all the content of your
Windows XP CD in that folder.
3. Open a command prompt
4. Go where you downloaded the
Service
Pack
5. Type Xpsp1a_en_x86.exe –x
6. Click “ok” to extract the files.
7. Once the SP1 files are extracted, change to
the update folder of the SP1 files (cd update), and type the following command:
update /s:C:\XPCD (C:\XPCD = Path of the Windows XP CD files)
9.
Start IsoBuster, extract the boot loader and save it as Microsoft
Corporation.img.
8. Next, start Nero Burning ROM, and choose
CD-ROM (Boot) in the New Compilation window. On the Boot tab, select Image file
under Source of boot image data, and browse to the location of the Microsoft
Corporation.img file. Also enable Expert Settings, choosing No Emulation, and
changing the Number of loaded sectors to 4 (otherwise it won't boot!)
The
ISO tab should be configured correctly as shown below:
If
you have an older version of Nero you won't have the option Do Not Add
";1" ISO file version extention under Relax ISO Restrictions. You
won't be able to boot your new CD, so update Nero!
You
can configure the Label tab; I would however recommend that you keep the Volume
Label the same as on your original Windows XP CD.
Next
press New, and drag & drop the files and folders from your Windows XP hard
drive location into Nero.
9. Next, burn your new Windows XP Bootable CD!

Cmdlines.txt:
This
file let’s you install applications or patches using batch files, during the MS
DOS part of the installation.
|
[Commands]
"parse.bat"
"patches.bat"
|
Parse.bat :
This
batch file replaces the variable %systemdrive% with the %systemdrive% (C:\)
value. The reason of this is because the registries
strings
doesn’t support the %systemdrive% variable. So someone made a program called
Sed.exe which replaces %systemdrive% in
a
text file, with a real value (C: or D:).

Google.reg:
This
registry file will change the default Search site for Internet Explorer to www.Google.com. But before running this file,
you need to
load
the Default user registry into your registries, with the command “Reg.exe load”
which was explained before. This script is made
to
modify the current user profile plus the default user one.
