Adding componets after running Unattend.txt
Posted by The Rev on October 5th, 2005


I ran a Unattend .txt to install XP sp2.
The .TXT removed some componets that I found that I need to use some software.
How do I add that componet to the system?

I am not certain if you are asking for the unattended method to do this or not?

Manual: Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > on the left side of the
window click Add/Remove Windows Components. This will allow you to choose
most components (if not all?) that are available in unattended.

Unattended: From the command line type "sysocmgr /?" without the quotes.

Here is a link to sysocmgr information for Windows 2003. I think the
parameters are exactly the same on WinXP Pro.

I used this in my .txt (rec=Off) in the components section
I have remote software that needs this.
How do I turn it back on.

Ouch, that one isn't in Add/Remove programs that I could see.

Create another unattended.txt and follow the directions at the URL I posted
earlier. Toward the bottom of that page there is an example of using the
unattended.txt with sysocmgr.exe. Read it carefully. When using this method
you might be prompted for SP2 or your Windows XP CD so have it available.

Also, create a new unattended.txt that you wish to use with sysocmgr.exe but
in this one just put a [Components] section. Below is an example of what
your file might contain.

[Components]
rec = On
