[TOOL] POWIS - Powerful Windows Setup v1.0.3

[thepwrtank18]

I keep getting a "1 was unexpected at this time." error after it extracts files. Host is Windows 11, ISO is Windows 7.

 

[thepwrtank18]

Fixed, just had to run as admin. However, adding the Windows Recovery Environment shows "The system cannot find the file specified."

 

[thepwrtank18]

And the OOBE is completely nonexistent, so no user account. The OS is unusable.

thepwrtank18 Hi, can you post more detailed info? Also screenshots should be helpful.
What language is your Windows 7 ISO? Have you used NTLited image? If yes, post preset too. This is unexpectable. What instalers / tweaks have you added?

 

[thepwrtank18]

English, straight from Microsoft's servers (no NTLite). All I did was slipstream a copy of Office 2010 with POWIS.

thepwrtank18 And ISO name?

Hmm, my SHA1 is 7CC76B0015220DE956328FB934D61B710A94293D. That's odd.

The files ps1, reg, run in administrator but not in the end user account. I do not see the changes being applied, neither in the user account nor in the administrator account. What could be the problem?

Hi... congrats for your work, it's awesome...
Can you say me how to enable built in Administrator account before install programs and personal settings...? I tried with Autounnattend.xml and setup.cmd but always say "Your account is disabled"...
Note: I use empty password...

net user Administrator /active:yes
wmic useraccount where "name='Administrator'" set PasswordExpires=false
REG ADD "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v AutoAdminLogon /t REG_SZ /d 1 /f
REG ADD "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v DefaultUserName /t REG_SZ /d Administrator /f
REG ADD "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v DefaultPassword

Regards... ;-)

Everything is installed under Administrator account Thats how it works. And you can use NTLite to create Unattended that can enable build-in Administrator for daily use.

It's no necessary create user account...?

 

[George King]

It's no necessary create user account...?

Exactly, if you enter OOBE, then all applications are installed. End user can create their own accounts with every app installed This is solution for apps that require created user account during setup.

NTLite generated Autounattend works, thank you...
One question, how to add cmd script that it run at first user logon...? I tried HKCU/HKLM RunOnce and RunOnceEx keys but doesn't work...
I use this line in a cmd file inside setup folder....

REG ADD HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx /v RunScript /t REG_SZ /d "%windir%\temp2\WPI.cmd" /f

WPI.cmd is inside %windir%\temp2 folder at first logon...

Regards... ;-)

NOTE: User account is built in Administrator...

Hello from Germany!

Im using the latest rel 1.0.3 and it works great for me!

To minor probs with the silent installation of two apps:

1) ccleaner.txt: /S /L=1031 /D=C:\Program Files\CCleaner ->> the /L=1031 switch does not work, always in eglish after setup
2) anydesk.txt: --install "C:\Program Files (x86)\AnyDesk" --start-with-win --create-shortcuts --create-desktop-icon --silent
anydesk is not installed after the completed setup process. I have to use "cmd" as administrator afterwards to install the anydesk client.

What can I do to fix those problems?

Thx and best regards

Peter

Hi Peter,

for CCleaner try instead

/S /D="C:\Program Files\CCleaner" /L=1031

for Anydesk you can try to use only

--silent

 

[peter_58_ha]

Hello Georg,

sorry for the late reply.

ccleaner: during autoinstall the parameter /L=1031 works fine. When I log in as administrator, ccleaner is running in german language.
And there is no machine wide config to store the settings. So - problem found, but not solved. It is NOT a POWIS problem, so pls pardon me!

anydesk: will try the "--silent" only switch today and post result.
Thx for your help!

Best regards

Peter

Hello from Germany!
Thx garlin for the registry key to solve the ccleaner language problem!

And anydesk: using anydesk.msi solved the problem!

Thx to all!
