something must be taking the windows install out of the $OEM$ folder I guess. and into some folder in the $OEM$ folder. Isn't that what the .\ means - to go back a level? beats me... also I see that you indicated that you file was in $OEM$ - must have missed that. also - I might suggest putting in your hotfixes first. Get windows up to snuff before anything is installed. And I'd install NAV last, so it isn't running while you are trying to finish installs (besides if you use any VBS scripts to help things along - NAV might stop it). just my 2 cents

that solution is only if the file is not in the place it is looking for it. If the file was in the $OEM$ folder then you don't need the .\ If the file was in the root of the cd then you do need the .\ http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/runonceex.htm

try installing the language pack without the /silent switch to see if it runs properly from the script. ECHO Installing Nero Burning ROM v6.3.1.10 ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\nero6\nero63110.exe /silent /noreboot ECHO. ECHO Installing Nero Burning ROM languagepack for v6.3.1.10 ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\nero6\nerotaalpakket63110.exe Also - I think you can do a /? or /HELP to see the install switches with NERO and possible the language pack. Here are my switches - /NO_UI /NOCANCEL /SILENT /NOLICENSE /NOREBOOT 1 is usually enabled, 0 is disabled. not sure what the 4 means.

What is the easiest way to convert my runonceex commands into something that lets the end user select which programs to install? I've seen stuff on here before - I cannot find it or it was too complicated. TIA - WwTIPPYwW

look in here - these were updated when I made the change. C:\Program Files\Executive Software\Diskeeper\Scheduler\DfrgUINetCtrlFile and this file - C:\Program Files\Executive Software\Diskeeper\Diskeep.ctl

The problem is that you are cleaning up the files first....so the cleanup.cmd file gets deleted before making it to the next line....the shutdown one. Sooooooo, either keep your cleanup.cmd file in a different location or issue the shutdown first.

FYI to those that don't know - to see the variables that available - type SET at a cmd prompt.

you should look into running the installations from the cd - it will be a lot faster and it isn't too complicated. Here is the first few lines of my runoneEX.cmd file for reference. Of course, if you already know the cdrom's drive letter - just use it and not the variable. OH, I forgot - if you use the variable - add a zero byte file calling it CD.id to the cd. Also - if you need more drive letters, add the lines. Also - any new/separate/different batch files that you want to use off of the runonceex.cmd file, you'll also need to set the cdrom variable. cmdow @ /HID @echo off IF EXIST D:\CD.id set CDROM=D: IF EXIST E:\CD.id set CDROM=E: IF EXIST F:\CD.id set CDROM=F: IF EXIST G:\CD.id set CDROM=G: IF EXIST H:\CD.id set CDROM=H: IF EXIST I:\CD.id set CDROM=I: IF EXIST J:\CD.id set CDROM=J: SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Applying Microsoft Patches" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\mdac\Q832483.EXE /C:\"dahotfix.exe /q /n \" /q" /f

do you need to tell nero to use Dutch instead of English after installing the language pack? Perhaps you need to make the change, export the registry settings, and then modify the installation script to do that. Here is a copy of the registry entries I add with Nero: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ahead\Nero - Burning Rom\Info] "User"="xxx" "Company"="xxx" "Serial6"="xxx-xxx-xxx" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ahead\Nero StartSmart\Settings] "AdvancedMode"=dword:00000001 "DisplayLeftPanel"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ahead\Nero StartSmart\Defaults] "1"=dword:00000001 ;Real Recording Speed of a CD.

try using InstallRite to create a custom installer..... http://www.epsilonsquared.com/installrite.htm

http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/office2003.htm

InstallRite is a nice program for making silent installs. You can "clean" up the custom installer it makes and remove the junk that is obviously not needed and is "dirty" you can make it silent and you can supress any reboot requests. plus you can make it use some variables for install locations.

run runonce w/o reboot - rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess

yes- have WinRAR do the extraction to the designated location. ALso you can set it to be completely hidden and also overwrite an existing files.

InstallRite is a nice program for making installs. Just need to make sure that it isn't tied to the profile that install was made under. Yes - I know it can create custom installers with wildcarding (whatever they refer to it as). But this is not 100% perfect. So you might need to take their installer and make changes and manually do some stuff.

np

download and start install. it creates a SmartFTP Installation folder in c:\program files. Use those files and the commands above.

try the steps all over - if done right it works. but realize that thee *.DLL is tied to the machine that it was activated on, so if you use a DLL from a different machine it will be messed up. So.....either make a single PC install of NAV, create some kind of setup for multiple machines, or don't activate NAV in an unattended mode and wait until reboot.
