What does this mean? What are the switches? Do you actually put it in one quotation, not 2?

So does anyone have an answer for this? Only one quotation?

Thanks. I will give it a try. I actually got Office 2003 to work along with Adobe by using the sleep # command in the batch file under the guiunattended part. But WMP10 still does not install. I may have re engineer everything and use the RUNONCEEx method for all these apps.

So does anyone have an answer for this?

I am able to automate all my hotfixes except this one. The GDI Detection Tool. I started using the /Q:A /R:N switches but that did not work. I have used iexpress to extract the files within the file and modified the gdigdt.xml file to modfiy the prompts and changed from YesPrompt to NoPrompt. I did do some research on this in order to get this far and pretty much created and install package called KB873374.exe. I used it first without switches and then when I saw it did not work and still prompted me during the unattended install, I used the /Q:A /R:N switches. Neither worked. Do any of you out there have proper instructions on getting the GDI Detection Tool to install automatically without going throught the prompts during the Windows XP Unattended install? Your help will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Yes. I copied all three apps or files, downloads, etc. into the specified folder. The batch file is a little more convenient and less work. Any reason why it is not responding to the batch file properly. If all fails I will try the runOnceEx.cmd method. OK. I straightened out adobereader6.0 with the batch script in SVCPACK and svcpack.inf method. Office2003 runs, but then it reverses itself and appears to cancel the installation. When Windows comes up after the install is done, it does not show that Office2003 is installed. As for WindowsMediaPlayer 10, the script shows that it installs, but it still does not install once you can log into Windows. Does anyone have any idea why this happens with both these apps? I use the given switches recommended by the www.msfn.org/unattendedCD website. Please give me some suggestions using the SVCPACK method. Thanks.

Whats happening folks. Just wanted to say Hey. I have many questions for you experts. Please check my topic in Application installs under the unattended installs of Windows XP section. I am dying to find out a solution. Thanks.

I was basically following the instructions on running an unattended Windows XP SP2 install with 3 different apps to be set to install unattended as well through batch script based on the instructions I read from http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/ in the intermediate section that explains to you how to run applications such as Windows Media Player 10, Office 2003 Professional unattended from the Windows XP unattended install. I have burned all the directories, i386, $oem$, and whatever files are needed as per the instructions. I have placed a batch file into the SVCPACK folder which is in i386 folder and put it in the svcpack.inf file under hotfixes to run sections as per the instructions. I followed the instructions on creating a mst file with ork tool and I edited my batch file called batch_file.cmd with these particulars commands to launch my apps which appear to begin at T-13 minutes of the XP unattended install. This is what the contents of my batch file look like: ECHO. ECHO Installing Adobe Reader 6 ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\AdobeReader6\AdbeRdr60_enu_full.exe -p"-s /v\"/qn\"" ECHO. ECHO Installing Office 2003 Professional ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Office2003\setuppro.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb- ECHO. ECHO Installing Windows Media Player 10 ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\WMP10\MP10Setup.exe /q:A /c:"setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /DisallowSystemRestore" As each of these batch commands run it tells me that it is unable to find the specified path and cannot install the specified program. This is info that I got from the website above for these silent installs to occur during the install XP. WHere am I going wrong? Yes, I enabled the preOEMistall=yes on the unattended section of the winnt.sif file which I coped to the i386 folder. My CD\DVD works fine with slipstreaming SP2 and all the hotfixes, it just bombs out on autoinstalling the apps. Are the switches wrong? This the info I get from the http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp website for installing the apps unattended. Why can it not find this path of this is what is instructed to be put in the batch file? I am sorry for the long letter, it is just so frustrating to get this to work. Is there any way to resolve this? Why won't the batch file work or understand where the directories specified is not working. Anybodies help which be much appreciated...I am open to suggestions. Thanks.
