Hi everyone

Can you please help me the installation of MultiSet went great but when I came to do a windows unattended installation disk I was stumped as to the answers to questions below as I’ve never done a windows unattended installation disk before

I’ve read all the help screens on Almeza web site to no avail

step 1) I entered product key & company as home. these are default settings (the answer file created by Almeza MultiSet for windows XP radio button is checked & the check box is checked next to The user selects the hard disk partition. (where is the answer file?)

step 2) Select the folder with the windows distribution package (where do I find the windows distribution package) and Make ISO Image is greyed out.

Thanks for any help you give (Give Away of the day team keep up the great work

Useless. This program requires for building the automated install CD for you to install all of the software you want included, so it can learn. What are they thinking? I will reinstall XP run the software and install all programs again so I can have a better installation cd?
Besides it “suggests” to deactivate any antivirus so you wont have a problem with the build up
It should be able to compile from other cd or programs that you instruct it to build up.

Hi Folks,

As an apparently new product without forums (Almeza calls it 4.5 apparently like dBase II was the first version) you also have to wonder about the five or so testimonials (remember they claim hundreds of happy users). Any company and contact information is sparse, and google searches turn up very, very little on the names and titles .. one testimonial is from the Dutch translator of Captain Tray (to be fair, maybe he liked Multiset first and then offered to translate).

Thus they cannot be considered relevant in evaluation, without any ability to confirm their accuracy and objectivity.

Shalom,
Steven

Disk image is a problem in some case. My system is on a good size (300G) hard drive. 80% space are taken by videos recorded from TV card (use like TIVO for later viewing). I don’t want to buy another 300G hard drive for full Disk image backup, no need to including the videos. I have a 40G hard disk available for backup. So I need software to recover the whole system (system, applications and data, but excluding the videos) in 40G HD, in case the 300G HD quit in a sudden. I Have not yet found any simple solution/software can streamline this routine job.

This is so very complex, I find I can’t even do the second step

read up on nlite over a year ago, and didn’t have time now to review, but i’ll go with comment above that it slipstreams only win(xp).

therefore, i decided to try multiset (tho was disappointed w another gotd, defensewall, which didn’t allow access to blocked setting of firefox)

after initiating a “new package”, i realize i cannot evaluate ms [multiset] yet, cuz it needs to “track” as i install an app.
interestingly, the firefox 2.0.0.10 update mar [filedate nov 16!?] just downloaded. this inspires a potential forum question, how would i have multiset “record” that type of install? will ms slipstream app updates?

the advice above to nlite win with patches, then use ms for only apps sounds good to me.
also, ms should be very useful for people using win9x, since 9x never had slipstreaming and many of the patches require sys restarts.

This version of Multiset is already out of date because over on the home site they are selling version 5.0 This giveaway version is v4.5. Still it does what it says. I could have used this a few weeks ago when I decided to reinstall windows. At the time my XP installation dis wasn’t a boot disc. So I searched the net via another computer on how to create a boot disc. Which I succeeded in doing; but this alternative is even better, saving me from having to sit or at least keep an eye on the installation during set up. Great piece of software. I wonder what changes have been made from this version to the latest?

Thanks to the Almeza company for your generous offer and to the giveaway guys for providing this service.

It was actually very easy to register this program. Un-fortunately. and obvious, many people had no idea how to properly do so…..which should have been taken into account before this website offered this type of registration Most of the guests here are just aveage joe/jane types that have limited knowledge of computers and should not be expected to know how to do a register even this simple (for some). There is no shame in not knowing what to properly do.
However, this website will slowly lose alot of “guest” unless it can come up with one simple way of registering programs. So far the website has failed in that area. The reasons for it’s failure are very clear and known. So why not just come clean and stop all the nonsense.

I can’t explain to you everything in “My English”. Just do this. It’s necessary.
