Can you tell me if I didn't make mistakes in my code, especially on the "installation of Applications " part (for the silent parametre)???

Sorry for my English but I live in Belgium.. And so you understand well why there are some french words in the code like "menu démarrer"!

Do I have to put a "wait" for each registry tweaks, or can the batch cmd make all of them in the same time??

If there are mistakes, can you explain me them and correct them!

Thank you very well!!!!

Let me ask you... if all members from MSFN post their cmd and all ask if it is written well (without test it by themself and look if they get errors or problems). would that be nice?

Apart from not using code tags, the admins pet hate, it seems fine.

Why are you installing DX9c, it comes installed with SP2?

SolidasRock => Sorry but i'm a newbee and i don't know how to test the code.....

rikgale => What do you want to say by "Apart from not using code tags"? I don't really understand!
And for direct x, I don't know because i have sp1 actually on my pc! Are you sure of what you say?

he means you need to write [ code ] your cmd [ /code ] (without spaces , it looks much better and more clear for other members.

and yes, we are very sure Dx9c is already included in SP2, (i think you already have slipstreamed SP2 to your windowsdisk?). at the top of this forum you will notice a "unattended cd/dvd guide". there you will read much more info, and as if you want, you could read the dutch translate too at the same adres at the bottom.

and you can test your cmd to USE it, (at another unused pc? or use VMWare, or ViritualPC). again, at the howto which i am talking about you will read more...

we all begin here as newbees, but we cant post all our cmd or other things and ask: look this good? run it, if error occurs and you cant find out what the problem is, ask it here.

well, you've got to test
but at the very least, this line is wrong. The MST file won't be found. Give it the path...
