Windows 7 Unattended Alternated To Targetpath And Winnt /t: Option?
Sep 8, 2011
I am during a Windows 7 unattended installed but cannot find the alternate parameter for TargetPath that I use in Windows XP, is there one. Next, I like to redirect my Windows 7 install directory Windows to a different patition not the boot partition as I did in Windows XP where I used the winnt /t: option to specify the install partition. I am not talking about the Dual boot for Windows 7, XP and VIsta. this is putting windows directory on the boot partition which I do not want.

I have been given the challenge to make a way to install Windows without any installation media and without having to even touch the computer while it's installing. So far I've made a .wim image with the help of this guide and I've made an Autounattend.xml file with thI put the install.wim image in the sources directory on a flash drive and the Autounattend.xml file in the root of the flash drive, and it does exactly what I want it to - all except it's not on a partition. So I move it to a partition and add a boot entry using EasyBCD. It boots fine, but it acts like the Autounattend.xml file isn't even there. So right now I have the choice of hands free installation with media, or manual installation without media. My main question is why the Autounattend.xml file isn't working when I boot the same media from a partition

I have Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit (x86) , trying to install on x64 architecture (dual core atom proc). I am trying to boot from the DVD, with the Autounattend.xml file on a USB drive (Mushkin 8GB, light blinks when accessed, so I know it is being read from). I have also tried using the file name Unattend.xml per other suggestions.My Autounattend.xml file does not get recognized. No errors are shown, but I explicitly set the locale, language, etc., to US English (en-Us), but I am still prompted by the Windows 7 DVD to select these settings.

The pc showing in my 'spec' profile is a new build, its been running great for about a week.I opened it up to drop in another 4 Gig of RAM and a Light (tiny little blue tube thing, just to give it a nice glow) and as far as i knew all was great.It was on last night, when i got up this morning all was still great. then at some point this after noon it had reset and stuck in the 'loading OS' screen saying BOOT (something) not found'.I immediately turned off the PC, opened it up and checked all was well, it was, so, i turned it back on. all was fine (apart from the usual 'windows did not shut-down correctly screen) so far its not done this while ive been sitting using it then later today i was streaming a TV show over to my playstation (PS3 media server) and about 20 mins in poof, the PC was resetting.It did it twice more.I have since removed the extra RAM I added and with or without it i am still having this strange issue. as it the only clue i had was the hard drive i have turned off the option to 'put hard drive to sleep after X mins' in POWER options.

I know there have been Windows XP unattended installs out there; Windows XP Black Edition.
Is there a way I can have my Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit install automatically, register my key, then install programs I want the way I want them installed?
Legally?
Or would it be illegal?

I am trying to install with the downloadable executable from the student discount program, the files are located on an external hard drive.
I downloaded Windows 7 last night and started the install, it got up to the point where it checked for Vista SP1 and stopped. I had reinstalled Vista recentely and forgotten to install it.
I quit the Windows 7 install and installed SP1 for Vista. Now every time I try to launch the Windows 7 install I get the following error:
"The unattend answer file contains an invalid product key. Either remove the invalid key or provide a valid product key in the unattend answer file to proceed with Windows installation."
I tried deleting the temp file that was in the same directory as the install files for Windows 7 as well as deleting the expanded set up directory and letting it re unpack the files.

In my laptop existing OS is Windows 7 Home Premium x64.
Hardware config is
HP i7 Quad processor 1.7 GHz.
4 GB DDR3 Ram,
500 GB HDD.
My system perf is slow. I installed few softwares. I have deselected most of the startup services and programs from msconfig. Eventhough my system bootup time is slow, and whenever i open mycomputer it taking time to load.
I have decided to install Windows 7 Enterprise Edition x64 by formatting my C drive. But there is no option while i do clean install.

sometimes I get this icon in my tray : . I guess it belongs to MC. I think it eats my resources and it even tries to turn on my TV card (LED is on) even if I don't intend to watch TV. I suppose that behaviour is unacceptable. My question is how to disable MC completely to perform any actions in the background while I work with my PC. In another words how to keep MC completely inactive unless I myself run it. In the process viewer I have gathered this is ehrec.exe executable.

Is there a way to unattended remote connect to a desktop, using existing MS tools, and share the desktop, without having to wait on the other user to give me a thumbs up?I work on a remote PC, and need the user there to be able to view the desktop while I work on it. However I also need them to also not have to directly give me access each time, such as the case with the help me request application (Windows Remote Assistance normal setup)

a few months back, I use windows update to install a windows update. After, some strange things have hapend. When I booted my computer on, my monitor went into powersave mode and wouldent come out of it, so I switched the port and it worked fine. I then went to play minecraft, I noticed it was very laggy. I checked my system score and it has dropped by 1.1 points for some reason. I tried to use recovery to roll back the update but it didnt make a difference, so I tried to re-install the OS. I went to control pannel -> Recovery -> advance recovery methods and reinstall windows. It restarted, and once it restarted and boots into the part when I am reintalling the OS it it gives an error:"The unattended answer file contains an invalid product key. Either remove the invalid key or provide a valid product key in the unattended answer file to proceed with this windows installation."What I have tried:
Re entering the product key
Try to install it many times
reinstalling drivers
using recovery

I recently set up an HTPC for my mother to replace her rented DVR (Cable company charges $13/mo for the DVR but a CableCARD is just $2/mo). I have everything pretty much like she wants it, but there is one remaining issue. She has an LG TV and wants everything to come on with the MC remote so she can ditch the extra remote. The TV has an RS232 port that I have hooked to a serial port on the HTPC. I can use this to control power on the TV. It's relatively simple to use Intelliremote to send the "OFF" command to the TV when she pushes the power button on the remote to put the HTPC in sleep mode, but I want the TV to power on only when she wakes the HTPC up with the remote.
THE PROBLEM:The system event log can be used to trigger a task on wake that would power on the TV but it turns on even when the system is doing an unattended recording or some other scheduled task. (I don't want the TV coming on at 2AM when a backup starts, for example.) How can I exclude these unattended events so that the TV is only powered on when the HTPC is awakened with USBIR remote or keyboard?

I will be shortly replacing my XP PC with a Windows 7 64bit PC. I have years worth of emails stored in Outlook Express. What is the best option to keep using these email folders in Windows 7 64bit? I understand that there is no included email client in Windows 7, so what 3rd party is best?

So I need to repair integral Windows files on my install. On XP this was a trivial matter of booting off the XP install disc and selecting the appropriate option. What I never noticed up until now (since I need the option now) is that MS in their infinite wisdom has removed that option for Windows 7 (and i'm guessing probably 8 as well) and replaced with a start-up repair option which is completely useless for addressing my ultimate issue (wifi gui corruption). any method by which one can conduct an actual repair install on Windows 7?

My wife has a new laptop with Win 7 Home Premium, which I know almost nothing about. When she double clicks a jpg, it opens in Windows Live Photo Gallery, which is apparently just a viewer. I wanted to open one in Irfanview, but when I right click the file, the choice to "Open With" is not available like it is in XP. Where is it?

After installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits, I used the option "system image" from Windows. It burned some folders and files on a DVD. Then I begun with try/error to install older software and hardware on Windows 7 or on XP mode to have an idea how this works. Now my windows is a mess. I would like to restore that image to my HD and install only the software/hardware that I learned, will work. Does it work like the Partition Images made with Symantec Ghost or Acronis True Image?
