Further cmdlines problem

[wolfshade]

I just moved the unattended slipstream to cd while keeping all my software on HDD a usual but one more problem had arisen:Adobe Reader 6 won't install too -- as well as Autopatcher.

The weird thing is that everything runned fined until i moved slipstreamed xp+sp1 to CD (i used cd-image pack from msfn.org and the cd is bootable and works well[tested it two times]) except for the cmdlines part that should work as a charm

These are my two major problems since now i can't figure it out so here's my batch:

It won't install Adobe Reader 6 and Autopatcher why???

[Alanoll]

post your CMDLINES.TXT file as well.....

CMDLINES.TXT is in your $OEM$ folder?

Acrobat worked fine with that exact same command at GUIRunOnce?

[wolfshade]

here's is my very short cmdlines.txt:

[COMMANDS]
"E:\PostInst\cmdlines.cmd"

Yes its in $OEM$ wich is paralel to i386

The thing is the other stuff in it works except Adobe Reader 6 and Autopatcher.

The very odd thing is that it when i run the setup from HDD it runs well/installs all the difference is that i put the slipstreamed xp+sp1 on cd using cd-image from this link(msfn.org) to make the iso:

http://www.unattended.msfn.org/files/CDImage_Pro.zip

Maybe this pack is only for XP Pro and not XP Pro +SP1 slipstreamed???

What would that have to do with these particular problems if yes.

If some1 thinks that i should definetly make an iso using other method please reply.

[Alanoll]

no...that pack is just the DAT file which is the boot sector and CDIMAGE which is universal for all.

The only difference between the packs is I believe the label that is used for the CD.

and the DAT file is the same as for 2003 and 2000.

I don't believe it's the ISO. Especially since you're running the programs from a non-CD source (right? i think you said that before)

have you tried the Acrobat command outside of the batch file? Or extracted it and gotten the inner MSI so there aren't nested switches?

[wolfshade]

LOL i haven't another solution but to leave it be cuz i keep repeating myself from amazement(this software has a personal thing against me having a unattended CD and thats it).

Oh and i changed the label to my cd from WINPPFP or whatever to WINXPSP1 hope that isn't the problem either -- i've been getting all kinds of weird ideeas since these two progs stopped running with no aparent reason

Thi message is kinda of a last round up i'm gonna put those troublemakers in GUIRunOnce so i wont scratch my head so much w/o an answer.

After more testing i received an answer from Autopatcher that he can't find some Program Files cuz they are missing or corrupt although i dunnow weather there are his files or the Program Files. He explained in the error window that these files may be missing ,corrupt or tampered with -- but it installs just fine after my first logon and it use to do that while i installed windows from HDD so my guess is that as windows instaled from HDD the files that Autopatcher needed were allready in Program Files. Now i'm installing as usual from CD and obvioulsy the files aren't there since i format at install time.

But the problem is that Adobe Reader 6 won't install either at that time and it seems it does that for the same reasons... can some1 who installed Adobe Reader 6 in cmdlines check in here plz so i'ld know it should work at least.

Both these soft install properly after first logon but don't at all at cmdlines w/ or w/o me tampering with users btw.
