Lost Soul

thank you alanoll youve solved my adobe reader problem and your right about using pskill to kill eploerer thats killing the whole shell and there for dishing out problems to any thing else after that im still having problems trying to kill that one folder window C:\install\Applications\Messenger i know i need to use taskkill to close out that window but im having alittle trouble working that out i found this example of the switch that i believe i need TASKKILL /F /FI "PID ge 1000" /FI "WINDOWTITLE ne untitle*" now this is what ive done and no it didnt work so obviously ive done it wrong i replaced the "WINDOWTITLE ne untitle*" with the name of the window screen that needed to be closed which is titled Messenger TASKKILL /F /FI "PID ge 1000" /FI "Messenger*" then i added it to my runonceex like this REG ADD %KEY%\105 /VE /D "Messenger Plus 3" /f REG ADD %KEY%\105 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Messenger Plus\MsgPlus-301.exe /SilentInstallNoSponsor" /f REG ADD %KEY%\105 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\install\pskill msnmsgr.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\105 /V 3 /D "%systemdrive%\install\pskill iexplore.exe" /f TASKKILL /F /FI "PID ge 1000" /FI "Messenger*" the reason i added it to the messenger plus 3 one is because thats when that window is poping up, im really not very sure on how to add the taskkill to the runonceex and im definatly having trouble on getting the switches right for closing out this window. any ideals ? can any one help me out on this ? thanks

your right, im gonna try that now thanks

i dont think believe there is a process that i can kill knowing that its just a folder thats popping up for some reason C:\install\Applications\Messenger i wonder how id kill a non process

im not sure how to use a kill command to close a folder right now all i know is this folder that pops up right after msn 6.2 is installed C:\install\Applications\Messenger really is aggrivating how do you think i should type this up for my runonceex REG ADD %KEY%\100 /VE /D "MSN Messenger 6.2" /f REG ADD %KEY%\100 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Messenger\MsnMsgs.msi /QB" /f REG ADD %KEY%\100 /V 2 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Messenger\register.reg" /f REG ADD %KEY%\100 /V 3 /D "%systemdrive%\install\pskill install\Applications\Messenger" /f im not really sure how to go about this any ideals

hi im trying to clean up some of my deak top icons put on by a few of my programs . now im not exactly sure whats the best way to go about doing this, is there a switch that can be used to stop a program icon from being placed on the desk top when instillation occurs ? and if there isnt can some one point me to the right folder in the registry to remove these icons, theres only about 3 or so icons i dont want on there thanks

i like the runonceex my self but they are right some times the quotes can be tricky like installing adobe reader 6 its switch has the double quote like this -p"-s /v\"/qn\"" now i bleave your supposed to just use a single goute at the end before the f but this one is giving me trouble lol good luck on your runonceex, most progs arnt like this one just a small few

hi i got a few minor questions about installing my basic adobe reader 6 and my msn 6.2 well to start off im running installing my adobe reader through the runonceex by calling it out to a batch file. now the reason im doing that is because im not very sure about how this syntax is supposed to go in since it would make it having 3 quotes in a row, ive tried it but it dont work, it wont instal with the 3 quotes and what i mean is well the syntax for it is like this AdbeRdr60_enu.exe -p"-s /v\"/qn\"" but when put into the runonceex it looks like this REG ADD %KEY%\040 /VE /D "Adobe Reader 6" /f REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\AdobeReader6\AdbeRdr60_enu.exe -p"-s /v\"/qn\""" /f now that obviously isnt working for the instal, so what should i do for that because im not sure what to do with that given that type of syntax. now for my second question for installing msn 6.2 through the runonceex ive extract SETUPDL.EXE to this folder: C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\install\Messenger\ having in there now bootstrap and MsnMsgs.msi files now this is the way ive got it written in my runonceex REG ADD %KEY%\100 /VE /D "MSN Messenger 6.2" /f REG ADD %KEY%\100 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Messenger\MsnMsgs.msi /QB" /f REG ADD %KEY%\100 /V 2 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Messenger\register.reg" /f now my question why is it that after it instals the messenger it goes straight into the C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\install\Messenger\ folder and shows the contents of that folder until its time to reboot is there any way to get it to instal with out having this folder pop up after instillation ive tried it with out extracting the files with the lower case syntax like this /qb but that wouldnt instal. is there any thing i can do to resolve these minor problems, any help would be appreciated thanks

well i tested it and it seems to instal just fine now thank you for all your help

man that looks rough, ive never seen one that bad off

my god are they still together they must be like 50 by now, but they did havea few good tunes im gonna check it out

lmao thats a good one

man that was tough all i could get was 7 out 10 they all looked rough lol

i think thats a good deal for the buck, looks like great speed for a laptop and you cant beat a dvd burner these days

sounds fast i need to look up my speed im using road runner with time warner cable, any one know the speed to that off the top of their head lol, well if not ill look it up

man that looks gr8

lol so true

true but the way i see it if you want mp3s your takinga risk any ways lol, i use peer guardian to try to block a few ips, but all in all any music prog you use is gonna be vulnerable, its all use at your own risk

ok gotcha ill give it a try thanks

well i think you mean with out the back slash but do you really think thats the problem ?

im not sure i understand do you mean use this whole line as my switch /REBOOT=Suppress --> REBOOT=Suppress or just use the second part with out a back slash ?

ok ive finished the test and it still wont instal but now i get a windows installer incorrect line paremters, can any one tell me what to do about this, heres an attachment of what poped up when trying to instal norton ustilities 2003

bastion5 yes mci way will work, but i also have a suggestion for you, for security reason and theft i suggest that you alter or remove your post for your runonceex file due to your sn number for you nero being on there

im currently running a new scan because perhaps the error of the previous program instal may of voided out my norton utilities. i was trying to instal msn 6.2 with out extrating the files but had a bad syntax command for some reason, but now ive went back to my old way, and im testing it now because the way i had norton set up was after msn 6.2 and msg plus 3, well when the error happened it didnt instal msn 6.2 or plus nor norton, it went straight to the end on my clean up and reboot, very strange,, well im testing it now ill post back what happens but still any ideals would be appreciated.. thanks

ahh ok i gotcha so your basically saying the resurrection version is for ppl insearch of a program to use that dont have the K++

can you post your script for the instal/kill to better help diagnos the problem
