cmdow is in the right place (%OEM%/$$/System32) i'll try the "from the disk" installation method maybe thats the root of all my problems.

i tried without OemPreinstall=Yes and it doesn't work because my files are not copied to the HD, so RunOnceEx can't install them. anyway i tried making only 1 entry with java install and it doesn't work either. HELP!!! cmdow @ /HID @echo off SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Sun Java 6.11" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\java.exe /s /v/qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 2 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\RemoveSunJavaUpdateCheck.reg" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /VE /D "Cleaning Up and Rebooting" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\cleanup.cmd" /f EXIT

thx i didn't notice this. cmdlines.txt and runonceex.cmd are in $OEM$ folder.

they are. any other suggestions? btw it copies the install dir to root but doesn't install the programs inside

thx for the fast reply, here's my winnt.sif file, as you can see OemPreinstall="Yes", maybe it should be without "quotes"?

here are my cmdlines.txt, RunOnceEx.cmd & cleanup.cmd files, i can't make the programs install to work, it seems like it doesn't even start the RunOnceEx commands. pls help me, i used the official guide (http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/) and some silent install guides i found over the internet. thanks. cmdlines.txt: [COMMANDS] "RunOnceEx.cmd" RunOnceEx.cmd: cmdow @ /HID @echo off SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /VE /D "Windows Live Messenger 9" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\wlm9.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Perfect Disk 9.00.76" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\perfectdisk.exe /s /v /qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\003 /VE /D "SMPlayer 0.6.6" /f REG ADD %KEY%\003 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\smplayer.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\004 /VE /D "Uninstall Tool 1.6.6" /f REG ADD %KEY%\004 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\uninstall.exe /qb /norestart" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Double Driver 2.1" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\driver.exe /qb /norestart" /f REG ADD %KEY%\006 /VE /D "Quicksys RegDefrag 2.2" /f REG ADD %KEY%\006 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\regdefrag.exe /qb /norestart" /f REG ADD %KEY%\007 /VE /D "Subtitle Workshop 2.51" /f REG ADD %KEY%\007 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\subworkshop.exe /qb /norestart" /f REG ADD %KEY%\008 /VE /D "Vista Codec Package 5.1.0" /f REG ADD %KEY%\008 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\vistacodex.exe /S /v/qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\009 /VE /D "BurnAware Free 2.2.3" /f REG ADD %KEY%\009 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\burnaware.exe /qb /norestart " /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "Daemon Tools Lite" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\daemontools.exe /S /D=%systemdrive%\$Progs\Daemon Tools\" /f REG ADD %KEY%\011 /VE /D "NOD32 3.0.684" /f REG ADD %KEY%\011 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\nod32.exe /silentmode" /f REG ADD %KEY%\012 /VE /D "WinISO 5.3" /f REG ADD %KEY%\012 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\winiso.exe /VERYSILENT /SP-" /f REG ADD %KEY%\012 /V 2 /D "taskkill /F /IM WinISO.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\013 /VE /D "Firefox 3.0.3" /f REG ADD %KEY%\013 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\firefox.exe -ms" /f REG ADD %KEY%\014 /VE /D "Sun Java 6.11" /f REG ADD %KEY%\014 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\java.exe /s /v/qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\014 /V 2 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\RemoveSunJavaUpdateCheck.reg" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "7-Zip 4.64" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\7zip.exe /qb /norestart" /f REG ADD %KEY%\016 /VE /D "Unlocker 1.87" /f REG ADD %KEY%\016 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\unlocker.exe /s" /f REG ADD %KEY%\017 /VE /D "Ad-Aware 2007 Pro 7.0.2.5" /f REG ADD %KEY%\017 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\adaware.exe /silent" /f REG ADD %KEY%\018 /VE /D "CCleaner 2.15.815" /f REG ADD %KEY%\018 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\ccleaner.exe /S" /f REG ADD %KEY%\019 /VE /D "CleanMem" /f REG ADD %KEY%\019 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\cleanmem.exe /S" /f REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "Flash Player" /f REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\flashplayer.exe /S" /f REG ADD %KEY%\021 /VE /D "JetAudio 7.18 Plus" /f REG ADD %KEY%\021 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\jetaudio.exe -S -f1 %systemdrive%\install\jetaudio.iss" /f REG ADD %KEY%\022 /VE /D "Mp3Tag 2.42" /f REG ADD %KEY%\022 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\mp3tag.exe /S" /f REG ADD %KEY%\023 /VE /D "AI Roboform" /f REG ADD %KEY%\023 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\roboform.exe /silent" /f REG ADD %KEY%\023 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\install\roboform1.exe /s" /f REG ADD %KEY%\024 /VE /D "Importing Registry Tweaks" /f REG ADD %KEY%\024 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\tweaks.reg" /f REG ADD %KEY%\025 /VE /D "Importing Services Tweaks" /f REG ADD %KEY%\025 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\services.reg" /f REG ADD %KEY%\026 /VE /D "Cleaning Up and Rebooting" /f REG ADD %KEY%\026 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\cleanup.cmd" /f EXIT cleanup.cmd: cmdow @ /HID shutdown.exe -r -f -t 60 -c "Windows XP will now restart in 1 minute..." net user aspnet /delete DEL "%systemroot%\*.bmp" DEL "%systemroot%\Web\Wallpaper\*.jpg" DEL "%systemroot%\system32\dllcache\*.scr" DEL "%systemroot%\system32\*.scr" DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Windows Messenger.lnk" DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Windows Movie Maker.lnk" DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\MSN.lnk" DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Set Program Access and Defaults.lnk" DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Windows Catalog.lnk" RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\drivers\ RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\install\ EXIT
