Well what the ... is my problem? You'll drive me crazy! This is not the correct winamp.ini, winamp.ini is meant to be that one from C:\Program Files\Winamp\winamp.ini! This is mentioned in the first post. However, this can't cause the installation to be stopped. Still, I think ScriptBlocking is enabled by your AV. Listen! Uninstall your AV, then try again.

Oh! You put strings to install your apps silently as you usually do in your main.cmd or apps.cmd! And, you name your inf "Autorun.inf". So, both CMD and INF are in the root of your CD.

Another secret. Your user account in the registry: S-1-5-18

It's Inno! You may want to read this: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=16507

Some antivirus programs disallow running scripts. This is not limited to JScripts only, but any scripts. If you follow instructions on the last page, you'll have no problem at all. And you'll be pleased with the results. After you do it successfully, we'll talk about your XPCD afterwards. It looks like you're new to this issue.

Sure! CD %systemdrive%\install\applications\acronis\ start or start /wait %systemdrive%\install\applications\acronis\acronis.js This way, you don't need to copy first.

aha ... and this is where you installed it from: F:\WindowsAutoinstall\WinXP\$OEM$\$1\Install\Toolbar\GoogleToolbarInstaller.exe secret. i won't tell hackers.

Pardon! I doubt it! Probably, you didn't follow the instructions well. Both methods were tested on my PC, with and without sleep & taskkill. And, what do you mean by "winamp.js pops-up"? Do you have some antivirus program running at the time of installation? winamp.js does not show itself up in any way. EDIT: Also, you might have installed the lite version of WinXP, so some components are missing from your system. Look in C:\Windows\system32\ for the file "wscript.exe". This file is needed if you're going to run scripts.

Still, you can simplify the installation process much more, by using this batch instead: Yes! No sleep and no taskkill! Then, add these two lines at the end of your script: WScript.Sleep(2000); WshShell.SendKeys ("%{F4}"); This means that the last part in your script looks like this: WScript.Sleep(2000); WshShell.SendKeys ("%{F4}"); } WScript.quit(); Other things remain unchanged. ______________________________________________________________ Well! Because some setup screens of v2.91 are different from v5.0x, here's another PDF tutorial for v2.91 and similar versions. Right-click and "Save Target As...".

Very simple, man! Switches are not the sole solution in every situation.

NP! You're welcome.

Right-click and Save Target As... from the shortcut menu.

yeah ... this is better, yet.

So, what difference is there if you sleep inside a script or outside a script? gonna sleep, now! thanks!

Please, do the following to make a real test: 0- Put sleep.exe in C:\Windows\System32\ 1- Uninstall Winamp 2.91 if it's already installed on your computer. 2- Go to C:\Windows\ and delete the file "winamp.ini". 3- Go to C:\Program Files\ and delete the folder "Winamp" if it's still there. 4- Create a folder in the root of drive C and name it "Install". 5- Inside "Install", create a folder and name it "Winamp". 6- Put these files inside the folder "Winamp": - Winamp.exe (renamed from winamp291_full.exe to winamp.exe) - winamp.js (posted below, according to your customized installation) - winamp.ini (not needed by installation itself, but to have Winamp pre-configured) This means that the three files are in this path: C:\Install\Winamp\Winamp.exe C:\Install\Winamp\Winamp.js C:\Install\Winamp\Winamp.ini 7- Create a CMD file to contain the following: Name it "main.cmd" or whatever you want. Put it inside the folder "Install". This means that the path to it is: C:\Install\main.cmd 8- Close any open Windows, so that you see your desktop. Go to Start --> Run and type the following, then press Enter: C:\Install\main.cmd Stay tuned!

Well! I've got v2.91 and I'll test your work and let you know.

Here's where to put sleep.exe C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$$\System32\

Here's sleep.exe: http://unattended.msfn.org/files/sleep.zip Extract it from zip archive and put it in system32 before you run the batch. I'm not sure wether you put the files in the place your batch says. If those paths are what you use, then the following files should be in this directory %systemdrive%\install\applications\Winamp\: - winamp.exe - winamp.js - winamp.ini They should be there before you run the batch.

Yes, you can. Use redirection > or >> as I did in my batch of Winamp. However, here's a practical example by edmoncu: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...ndpost&p=132800

Deleting absolute paths inside your INI is required if you're going to install Winamp into a drive other than C or whatever. NB: In the PDF tutorial, there's explained how to install Winamp in a drive other than your system drive. Winamp will write those paths again after installation, according to the drive it's installed to. But web links are not a problem in anyway. So, leave them there if you need them or delete if you don't need them. It's up to you.

There's already a post for autorun cds on this forun. I'll see and edit this post when I find it. I wonder if this works. Create an inf file like this and put it in the root of your CD: [autorun] open=batch.cmd icon=some.ico Actually, I haven't tested the batch this way. But, you can test it, yourself.

Just variety! /F --> Force (termination) /IM --> Image (i.e., process or program)

Good work, bonedaddy. Thank you for your time.

Actually, a few weeks ago, I started to refine my posts the way you mean. And because I was tired of searching around, I created my sig this way. I haven't finished revising all posts, yet. However, I see QUOTES more capable of text formatting than CODES.

This is why people use SLEEP.EXE! http://unattended.msfn.org/files/sleep.zip
