\nI need help in suppressing CANCEL button during Windows XP SP3 install.<\/p>\n

I’m using \/quiet \/norestart switches along with the SP3 EXE. Are there any other switches to remove\/suppress CANCEL button during the install?
\nAny help is greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n

\nRight now i’m packaging Windows XP SP3 for our SP2 environment and i used AutoIT script to do the job.<\/p>\n

Use \/passive \/nobackup \/norestart \/log swicthes as<\/p>\n

\/passive will install with a progress bar
\n\/nobackup will remove the backup for uninstall
\n\/log will create a log file<\/p>\n

Try the following AutoIT script:<\/p>\n

;===================================================================================================
\n;Hides the AutoIT icon
\nOpt(“TrayIconHide”,1)<\/p>\n

; 1st section gives the user a warning that the sevice pack install will start
\n$PID=SplashTextOn(“Windows XP SP3 Installation”, “Installing Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 3. The installation can take 30 minutes. Please wait until the completion message appears.”, 450, 85, -1, -1, 4, “10”)
\nSleep(20000)
\nSplashOff()
\nProcessWaitClose($PID)<\/p>\n

;RUN WINDOWS XP SP3 IN PASSIVE MODE WITH NO RESTART, NO BACKUP AND A LOG FILE
\nRun ( “WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe \/passive \/norestart \/nobackup \/log:c:\\WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.log” )<\/p>\n

; WAIT UNTILL SP3 WINDOW IS ACTIVE
\nWinWaitActive(“Software Update Installation Wizard”, “”)<\/p>\n

; SET SP3 WINDOW ACTIVE IF IT DOESN’T HAVE FOCUS
\nIf Not WinActive(“Software Update Installation Wizard”,””) Then WinActivate(“Software Update Installation Wizard”,””)<\/p>\n

; HIDE BACK BUTTON
\nControlHide ( “Software Update Installation Wizard”, “”, 12323 )<\/p>\n

; HIDE FINISH BUTTON
\nControlHide ( “Software Update Installation Wizard”, “”, 12325 )<\/p>\n

;CHANGE FOCUS TO HELP BUTTON
\nControlFocus(“Software Update Installation Wizard”, “”, 9)<\/p>\n

; HIDE CANCEL BUTTON
\nControlHide ( “Software Update Installation Wizard”, “”, 2 )<\/p>\n

; WAIT UNTILL SP3 WINDOW IS ACTIVE
\nWinWaitActive(“Software Update Installation Wizard”, “”)
\nSend(“{TAB}”)<\/p>\n

;HIDE HELP BUTTON
\nControlHide ( “Software Update Installation Wizard”, “”, 9 )<\/p>\n

;===================================================================================================<\/p>\n

You can actually change the script according to your requirement and it is easy to use.<\/p>\n

Let me know if you need anything.<\/p>\n

\nI will definitely give it a try.<\/p>\n

I’m aware of AutoIT but never created a script. Let me create an EXE with the above code and install.<\/p>\n

Thanks you very much for your solution. I really appreciate it.<\/p>\n

\nYou still can prevent<\/p>\n

You still can prevent shutdown. The following AutoIT code works for Windows XP provided you are using required silent switches:<\/p>\n

#NoTrayIcon<\/p>\n

$WM_QUERYENDSESSION = 0x0011
\nGUIRegisterMsg($WM_QUERYENDSESSION, “Cancel_Shutdown”)<\/p>\n

GUICreate(“PreventShutdownGUI”)
\nGUISetSTate(@SW_HIDE)<\/p>\n

While 1
\nsleep(10)
\nWEnd<\/p>\n

Func Cancel_Shutdown($hWndGUI, $MsgID, $WParam, $LParam)
\nReturn False
\nEndFunc<\/p>\n

I installed Symantec Endpoint Protection managed client on 250 PCs this way:<\/p>\n

#NoTrayIcon<\/p>\n

; Exit the script after 30 minutes
\nAdlibEnable( “Shutdown_Machine”, 1800000)<\/p>\n

$WM_QUERYENDSESSION = 0x0011
\nGUIRegisterMsg($WM_QUERYENDSESSION, “Cancel_Shutdown”)<\/p>\n

GUICreate(“PreventShutdownGUI”)
\nGUISetSTate(@SW_HIDE)<\/p>\n

MsgBox (0, “Symantec Endpoint”, “Symantec Endpoint Protection Will be Installed Now” & @CRLF & “Please DO NOT SHUTDOWN This Machine” & @CRLF “Machine Will Restart When Setup is Finished”, 10)
\nRunAs(“Administrator”, “Domain_Name”, “Password”, 4, “\\\\Server_Name\\Shared_Folder_Name\\Setup.exe”)<\/p>\n

While 1
\nsleep(10)
\nWEnd<\/p>\n

Func Cancel_Shutdown($hWndGUI, $MsgID, $WParam, $LParam)
\nReturn False
\nEndFunc<\/p>\n

Func Shutdown_Machine()
\nExit
\nEndFunc<\/p>\n

It is worth noting that I changed setup.ini file under [Startup] section as follows:
\nCmdLine=\/l*v “%TEMP%\\SEP_INST.LOG”
\nTo:
\nCmdLine=\/q<\/p>\n

I don’t need the log file, so that I removed [\/l*v “%TEMP%\\SEP_INST.LOG”] switch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
