One option you can do is to use a program called "nlite" to integrate service packs, updates, and drivers (maybe some applications too) in a single unattended setup session. You may want to check into this.



Another option is to do what is known as "ghosting" whereby you make an image of your harddrive, save it someplace, then copy it to a new harddrive. This way it will store all of your settings and will also have programs already installed. You'll need a program like Norton Ghost (though I'm sure there's cheaper or free alternatives) to do this.

Setup Studio 1.0.9



Features



How Does It Works?



The most important advantage of Setup Studio is that the installation projects created in it run completely unattended on all PCs. This means that the computer never asks a question, or prompts you to choose between installation options. Contrary to standard installation, you prepare these answers and settings in advance.



Setup Studio enables you to enter those answers and settings and incorporate them into the project. It also enables you to add installation packages of programs, hotfixes, executable drivers installers and other custom installation tasks to the package.



After the project configuration is finished, an installation CD/DVD containing Windows and all the additional files and settings is created.



Boot the project media, start the installation as usual but no additional questions and interruptions occur. You do not need to be present. The Setup Studio engine, similar to standard Windows setup, runs all the necessary tasks fully automatically. You just start the process – the period of installation depends on the complexity of your unattended project – and the PC is ready for use.



Streamlined User Interface:

In order to make the orientation and task selection easier, Setup Studio is divided into modules. It is an integrated, yet modular system for all tasks necessary to create an unattended (silent) installation CD/DVD (also called “pre-installation media” by big OEM's such as Dell, HP etc.).



Installation Engine:

Setup Studio uses a specialized GUI engine for unattended installation that is launched at the moment the basic Windows setup is completed. The engine installs and sets up everything – from patches and programs to advanced tasks. At the same time, it can run in an interactive diagnostic mode allowing for better error detection and debugging. It was specially designed for enthusiasts trying to bring their project to perfection.



Automatic Detection and Prevention:

Setup Studio detects your Windows build and adjusts itself accordingly. The Hotfixes module prevents from adding wrong security patches to the project. Built-in support and program detection based on MD5 hash for hundreds of programs also help to avoid errors in installation switches.



Driver Packs and Mass Storage Drivers Support:

Installing Mass storage drivers for non-standard HDD IDE controllers is a Windows Setup complication. Now it is trivial to add a mass storage driver. The integration is done in a background. Setup Studio also supports adding drivers from Driver packs. These are particularly helpful for building a reference technician CD/DVD that should have support for widest range of devices such as motherboards and other hardware.



Bulit-In Burning Module:

While there is number of media burning programs, creating bootable CD/DVDs is not the easiest of tasks. Still it is necessary to ensure that your project CD/DVD is perfectly bootable. With built-in burning and bootable CD/DVD support you don't have to worry. Burning your project in Setup Studio is absolutely simple, virtually a click of a button.



Project Concept:

You can save your work as a project and return to it anytime you want. You can, for instance, refresh your list of hotfixes after the release of new ones, or add new programs. You can also export your project to a single file for preserving integrity, or recreate it from Setup Studio media by simply importing it back into Setup Studio.



Database and Updates:

As for the support of newly released programs, Setup Studio is very flexible. Just go to Setup Studio Update and load new database definitions. We pay attention to user´ requests for programs support and therefore we update the database soon after the release date.



Search Mode:

In order to simplify the unattended project creation, we have included a specialized search option in Drivers and Programs modules. Now you don't have to add your drivers or programs one by one, the Setup Studio will find them for you. Just show it where to look for. Setup Studio then presents a “results list” from which you can pick the final selection.



Requirements:
