OOOOPS! Earlier versions were good enough. Well! Use USSF, then let's see.

scp Great idea. I think many members, including me, could be pleased if you post a separate INI containing English comments only. I hope you have time to post it. Thanks.

Now, much faster. Thanks.

However, if those are the only problems you want to get rid of, you can try this solution using the original MSI: CI_DO_PNP & CI_INSTALL_DETECTED_PRINTER are properties already found in the Properties Table of the MSI. I think they can be exploited on the command line. You can give it a try. If they are usable, then you don't need the modified MSI.

Use the modified MSI (sent to you) with these switches: --- Feature --------------------------- Switch to exclude 01- Alternate Language Arabic PDF (CD1) A=0 02- Alternate Language Hebrew PDF (CD2) H=0 04- Driver (Condensed) ---------------- D=0 05- HTML_CFG_ALL (HTML.cfg) ----------- C=0 06- Microsoft IO (MSIO) --------------- M=0 07- Overland -------------------------- O=0 08- Printer Assistant ----------------- P=0 10- RDT_PDI (hpfpdi08.exe) ------------ I=0 12- ReadMe ---------------------------- R=0 13- Software Update Tool (SWUT) ------- S=0 14- TestPage -------------------------- T=0 The other 3 features are excluded by default. Command line example: ----------------------------- Start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\HP\HP3600.msi A=0 H=0 D=0 R=0 S=0 T=0 /qn I'll be waiting for your test results.

That's easy. I'll modify the MSI and send it to you for testing. It should work, though. I'll send it by email when I finish.

Also, you can use a script, if no switch found.

You're welcome.

Then, you need to give your XP a Cosmetic Surgery.

To see the complete string, including the CDROM letter, I put a CD in the CD-ROM before running my RunOnceEx.cmd. In this example, there's a file on the inserted CD named "Extract.exe": IF EXIST "D:\C D\Extract.exe" set CDROM=D: IF EXIST "E:\C D\Extract.exe" set CDROM=E: IF EXIST "F:\C D\Extract.exe" set CDROM=F: IF EXIST "G:\C D\Extract.exe" set CDROM=G: IF EXIST "H:\C D\Extract.exe" set CDROM=H: IF EXIST "I:\C D\Extract.exe" set CDROM=I: IF EXIST "J:\C D\Extract.exe" set CDROM=J: When I go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx, I should find this string: I:\Software\DotNet\netfx.msi /qb This is for: REG ADD %KEY%\15 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\DotNet\netfx.msi /qb" /f So, I could check the whole string in real conditions, where my CDROM letter is "I".

This structure works for me: http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/oemfolders.htm And, yes, keep the 8.3 rule in your batch name.

These are the features included in the MSI along with their default installation state: --- Feature --------------------------- Will be ----- 01- Alternate Language Arabic PDF (CD1) Installed 02- Alternate Language Hebrew PDF (CD2) Installed 03- Autorun --------------------------- Not Installed 04- Driver (Condensed) ---------------- Installed 05- HTML_CFG_ALL (HTML.cfg) ----------- Installed 06- Microsoft IO (MSIO) --------------- Installed 07- Overland -------------------------- Installed 08- Printer Assistant ----------------- Installed 09- RDT_Passthru (hpbvspst.exe) ------- Not Installed 10- RDT_PDI (hpfpdi08.exe) ------------ Installed 11- RDT_Uninstall (Root Uninstaller) -- Not Installed 12- ReadMe ---------------------------- Installed 13- Software Update Tool (SWUT) ------- Installed 14- TestPage -------------------------- Installed We have three options in how to adapt this MSI to our situation: 1- Delete unwanted features from the MSI. This allows us to delete a feature's required files from the package. Also, deleting a feature deletes its related registry keys and related shortcuts. You can use WinINSTALL LE. 2- Disable installing unwanted features (Not Installed). Disabling a feature disables its related registry keys and related shortcuts. The package remains as it is. You can use WinINSTALL LE. 3- Adding a condition to each feature. This allows us to exclude features via command line at installation time. Excluding a feature disables its related registry keys and related shortcuts. The package remains as it is. You can't use WinINSTALL LE. Either option takes some minutes. First option takes hours to accomplish if you are going to delete related files. _______________________________________________________ - Which option you think is better for you? - Would you please post a pic for that annoying message (screen)? - Also, currently, what app do you use for dealing with MSIs?

I'll be waiting. Thanks.

Have you tried this switch, yet? http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...ndpost&p=154829

HKEY_CURRENT_MACHINE ?! Amusing!

For QuickTime, run this from a batch: REG DELETE HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v "QuickTime Task" /f

The Full version is 27.732 MB! It should take long from my home-phone-line based modem to download. I suggest you zip the MSI (4.08 MB) and send it to me by email. It should be shrunk upon zipping to less than its original size.

Good news! So, my guess was right?! And good LEFT 2, too. EDIT: I forgot to ask you: No more Internet Connection, now?

This is the new trend of InstallShield. Even thank God the ISS worked for you. Today, many products built with InstallShield installer do not support ISS.

Then the app installation is restricted. Well! No problem. Try one of these solutions: your.exe /s /v"/qn REBOOT=Suppress" If /qn doesnt work, use /QR OR issscript.msi /qn (first) your.exe /QR (second) EDIT: Oh! I saw your pic. I think this is InstallShield. If so, then you can prepare a setup.iss.

I wonder if you want to delete your attached zips from above!

issscript.msi /qn (first) theother.msi /QR (second) I guess!

You have to copy the update to your HD then run it from there. Or, might it be the 13?!
