Thanks murphy78 As in post #18 it's looks fine, no updates during install "any more" (at this point). BUT I have another issue..... I see/read everywhere on the net people trying to have their modified start screen tiles after sysprep....etc and having problems with that. That's not my Problem for the moment. I want to have exactly the same (default) start screen tiles in the captured image but no luck till now. I did not modify any Tiles after normal install. Tried a lot of things.... I guess not the wright things but I can't have that default start screen tiles whatever I do. Here are the default tiles I get after normal Windows Install: Here are the "after sysprep/capture...." Tiles: Any suggestion/idea? THANKS
Did you run the sysprep without using audit-mode to set everything up? Win8 likes to pin things to the start menu during the user creation portion of setup. If you don't sysprep correctly using audit-mode it might have issues.
Hi murphy78, can you explain how to make this script executed during installation? How could I access cmd prompt to run this during install to prevent those huge video drivers to be downloaded? TIA
Make a folder structure: $oem$\$$\Setup\Scripts\ Make a text file in the scripts folder (setupcomplete.cmd): Code: net stop wuauserv timeout /t 5 net start wuauserv copy the entire $oem$ folder to the dvd's sources\ folder.
No I didn't do that. According to your post I should have done that. I mean I did generalize after /audit but didn't delete Administrator before capture.......God I don't have the courage to start it all over again....uhh
I am not sure if disabling driver updates during install (through customise settings as versus express settings) works 100%. Both win 8 and win 8.1 still retain this irritating habit of installing NVIDIA drivers no matter what. One can keep the net off till one installs own drivers though.
Here is a snip to create the registry key (as it does not exist yet) and set the setting. Edit the path to your XML Code: # # HKLM - all users # Export-StartLayout -Path "D:\Start-Layout-81-x64.xml" -As XML New-Item -Path Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows -Name Explorer -Force Set-ItemProperty -Path 'registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer' -Name StartLayoutFile -Value "D:\Start-Layout-81-x64.xml" # # HKCU - per user # Export-StartLayout -Path "D:\Start-Layout-81-x64.xml" -As XML New-Item -Path Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows -Name Explorer -Force Set-ItemProperty -Path 'registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer' -Name StartLayoutFile -Value "D:\Start-Layout-81-x64.xml" #
Now those two posts were definitely worthy! Nice helping get around the hex reg key pathing Mr Jinje!
Tried almost everything. No matter what I do, I get the wright Startup Screen for the Default User but not when I create a new user. Start Screen tiles are limited, many are missing like in post #21 Thank you all for helping
