>Office

>office

>frontpage

>etc

>Media

ive seen the above, what it does is to expand the current cattegory then callopse it once all the programs have been installed, anybody know how i can do this?

[lilweirddude]

i dont think it can be done with runonce, but it can be done with other methods

[a1dutch]

which methods are these, could you enlighten me?

In your WinNT.sif file under [GuiRunOnce] add lines to future files like so:

[GuiRunOnce]
"%systemdrive%\Install\Tools\Tools - Archive.cmd"
"%systemdrive%\Install\Tools\Tools - CD-DVD.cmd"
"%systemdrive%\Install\Tools\Tools - Java.cmd"
"%systemdrive%\Install\Tools\Tools - Macro.cmd"
"%systemdrive%\Install\Tools\Tools - Media.cmd"
"%systemdrive%\Install\Tools\Tools - Network.cmd"
"%systemdrive%\Install\Tools\Tools - Office.cmd"
"%systemdrive%\Install\Tools\Tools - Shell.cmd"
"%systemdrive%\Install\Tools\Tools - Spyware.cmd"
"%systemdrive%\Install\Tools\Tools - System.cmd"
"%systemdrive%\Install\Tools\Tools - Text.cmd"
"%systemdrive%\Install\Tools\Tools - Viewers.cmd"
"%systemdrive%\Install\Tools\Tools - Web.cmd"

Each file is then coded up like so:

cmdow @ /HID
@echo off

for %%i in (C: D: E: F: G: H: I: J: K: L: M: N: O: P: Q: R: S: T: U: V: W: X: Y: Z:) do if exist %%i\WIN51 set CDROM=%%i

_____>

_____>

the catergorys then collapse after all within the categorys have been installed then goes onto next one.

[Nologic]

There is nothing that I know of that does it in that manner...best bet would be to try out Xplode and see what you can do there....

@Nologic

start /wait rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess

May i ask what does this line do?

[Nologic]

chrno2004 -

Heh sure you may ask but that doesn't mean you'll get an answer.

What it does is execute all the entrys you just made in the RunOnce reg key. So in the above example you would see a dialog list called "Installing CD & DVD Tools" that would look some thing like so:

Installing CD & DVD Tools

Installing ASPI Layer

Installing Alcohol 120%

Installing AutoPlay Media Studio

Installing BlindWrite

Installing CD Eject Tool

Installing CDR Diagnostic

Installing DVDInfo

Installing EasyBoot

Installing ISOBuster

Installing NERO

Installing UltraISO

After that one completes it would disappear and a new dialog list would be displayed....lets say Tools - Shell is next...you would then see

Installing Shell Tools

Installing Active Captions

Installing BootSkin

Installing Chameleon Clock

Installing Cool Desk

Installing CursorXP

Installing Desktop X

Installing IconPackager

Installing IconX

Installing LogonStudio

Installing ObjectBar

Installing ObjectDock

Installing PT CMD Here

Installing PT DeskManager

Installing PT ImageResizer

Installing PT Media Player

Installing PT Power Calculator

Installing PT TaskSwitcher

Installing PT TweakUI

Installing PT WallPaper Changer

Installing ShellToys_XP

Installing Tray Factory

Installing TrueLaunchBar

Installing WebBlinds

Installing WindowBlinds

So on and so forth....just one dialog at a time...and only one displayed...no clutter and nothing running off the screen...and all happening prior to first logon.

Hope that explains it...
