if you have the awnser file set corectly it would copy from the $oem$\$1\apps\* to the %systemdrive%\apps so assumning you had on your cd \$oem$\$1\apps\AdobeReader6\ar6 msi on you cd it would copy over to %ststemdrive%\apps\Adobereader6\AR6.msi. then that part of the runonce.cmd script would launch the installer and install adobe reader wehre ever the default install dir or if a preset dir was configured in the adobe reader.msi If you place a dir "1by1" in the %cddrive%\$oem$\$progs dir it will copy that to the c:\programfiles dir on instalation on that diagram the install dir is ment to conatin all the applications you wish to have autoinstalled and the batch file or script file would be configured to run them from the %systemdrive%\install\* dir. and the driver dir is ment to contain custom drivers for that instalation Yes if you have oempreinstall truned on in the awnser file they are also if you look at the example scripts on the page you linked the clean up script gets executed at the end and deletes teh c:\apps and driver dirs containing the install packages for the apps

dont give it out to anyone is one way or if you are worried about someone takeing it keep it in a locked box or peronal documents fire safe

Dr_Jeff wrote the way you have worded this makes it seem almost certain that you are useing a non legit copy of windows and will probly get flamed. when you start trying "other keys" it seems more likeley to be interupted as you are going to crack sites to get keys instead of maybe owning multiple copies of a legit os cd. microsoft DID black list the more common comprimised keys with sp2 can you install fom your orig or backup copy of your windows cd and then upgrade manualy to the sp2? if after installing a fresh install off your cd and sp2 will not install manualy on top of it there is something wrong with your key and you should call microsoft for another. what type of xp cd did you make your unattend cd from? was it a oem, retail, or corp? what type and where did you get your key? IE if you are useing a retail one are you useing the key from the label that comes with it? the diffrent types of cds do not use the same keys IE if you lost your cd and you are borrowing a backup from a freind and the types of cd and keys dont match (IE corp cd must have corp key retail must have retail key oem must have oem key) it will not work if you are useing a oem resotre cd there might be issues to

Have you tried the netsh dump functions in this thread? netsh -c interface dump > c:\location.txt netsh -f c:\location.txt http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...&hl=runonce not sure if it would work on the wep/wma keys but I would think there should be some function to do it from netsh

you might want to try to make the ghost image of the machine right after it reboots when its done copying the files to the hard drive at this point I think its not instaled any drivers yet . this way you could still have your mb and prephil drivers in the $oem\drivers dir also VMware has a program called p2v that clones a machine into a vmachine and emulates all the hardware on it you might want to look at that as well oh forgot one thin on win 98 there were a couple of reg keys to uninstall all the drivers you might want to look around to see if you cna do the same thing to xp and /or might want to uninstall all the drivers then shut the machine down and ghost it tha tway when it boots up it will look for its drivers not sure how reliable it would be though

Vmware instaled and worked fine for me I tested Vmware buy launching it in my vmware console the problem you might be haveing if you are useing the run once method is that the command line entry has lots of quotes in it and you have to make sure you have a \" instead of a " oops after looking at your entry I see the quotes are correct the only thing diffrent on my netry besides the name/sn# and directorys is I have \"'s around my username might give it a try and double check the dir paths also my msi is named Vmware Workstation.msi

This is my first post on the forum after lurking for a bit but I ma trying to get this done to I think I found the awnser on there website and will fuly test it right now taken from VMWARE install docs If you are installing VMware Workstation on a number of Windows host computers — in a corporate environment, for example — you may want to use the silent install features of the Microsoft Windows Installer. Before installing VMware Workstation silently, you must ensure that the host computer has version 2.0 or higher of the MSI runtime engine. This version of the installer is available in versions of Windows beginning with Windows XP and is available separately from Microsoft for versions of Windows beginning with Windows NT 4.0. The following steps outline the procedures for a silent install. For additional details on using the Microsoft Windows Installer, see the Microsoft Web site. Silently extract the administrative installation image from the VMware Workstation installer: setup.exe /a /s /v"/qn TARGETDIR=<InstallTempPath>" setup.exe is the name of the installer on the CD distribution. If you are using a downloaded installer, the filename is similar to VMwareWorkstation-<xxxx>.exe, where <xxxx> is a series of numbers representing the version and build numbers. <InstallTempPath> is the full path to the folder where you want to store the administrative installation image. Run a silent installation using msiexec and the administrative installation image you extracted in the previous step: msiexec -i "<InstallTempPath>\VMware Workstation.msi" [iNSTALLDIR=<PathToProgramDirectory&gt] ADDLOCAL=ALL [REMOVE=<featurename,featurename>] /qn Enter the command on one line. If you want to install VMware Workstation in a location other than the default, change the path that follows INSTALLDIR= to specify the desired location. You may use the optional REMOVE= property to skip installation of certain features. The REMOVE= property can take one or more of the following values: Value Description Authd The VMware authorization service Network Networking components including the virtual bridge and the host adapters for host only networking and NAT networking; do not remove if you want to use NAT or DHCP DHCP The virtual DHCP server NAT The virtual NAT device If you specify more than one value, use a comma to separate the values. For example, .REMOVE=Authd,NAT. Note: If you specify REMOVE=Network, the installer skips installation of certain networking components, including NAT and DHCP. There is no need to specify DHCP or NAT separately . You may customize the installation further by adding any of the following installation properties to the command using the format PROPERTY="value". A value of 1 means true; a value of 0 means false. If you use the serial number property, enter the serial number, complete with hyphens (xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx). Property Effect of the Property Default DESKTOP_SHORTCUT Installs a shortcut on the desktop 1 DISABLE_AUTORUN Disables CD autorun on the host 1 REMOVE_LICENSE (Uninstall only) Removes all stored licenses at uninstall 0 SERIALNUMBER Automatically enters the serial number Uninstalling VMware Workstation 4 on a Windows Host To uninstall VMware Workstation 4, use the Add/Remove Programs control panel. Select the entry for VMware Workstation, then click Remove. Follow the on-screen instructions.
