I just want to verify something real fast... [COMMANDS] "useraccounts.cmd" "RunOnceEx.cmd" "regedit /s autologon.reg" or... [COMMANDS] "useraccounts.cmd" "regedit /s autologon.reg" "RunOnceEx.cmd" Thanks

I'm a little puzzled when i look at this setup i have going?!? First of all, look at the end of my RunOnceEx file: REG ADD %KEY%\140 /VE /D "Longhorn Transformation Pack" /f REG ADD %KEY%\140 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Longhorn\Longhorn Transformation Pack.exe /s" /f REG ADD %KEY%\140 /V 2 /D "taskkill.exe /F /IM Longhorn Transformation Pack.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\150 /VE /D "Applying Registry Tweaks" /f REG ADD %KEY%\150 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\RegTweaks.reg" /f REG ADD %KEY%\160 /VE /D "Enabling Windows File Protection" /f REG ADD %KEY%\160 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Longhorn\wfp.reg" /f REG ADD HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /V Cleanup /D "%systemdrive%\cleanup.cmd" EXIT Second of all, check out these line in my RegTweaks.reg file: ;Disable Windows File Protection [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "SFCDisable"=dword:ffffff9d Therefore (if i'm not missing something) It's trying to install Longhorn Transformation Pack (without WFP disabled) Then it applies the reg tweaks (which includes disabling WFP) Then in the next step it re-enables WFP... What's an easy and effective way to solve this problem? Thanks

@Alanoll What? I've never seen code like that anywhere! Or atleast not in my RunOnceEx? %REG%\KEY1 = ???? If i had to take my best guess it would be REG ADD %KEY%\120 /VE /D "Longhorn Transformation Pack" /f REG ADD %KEY%\120 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Longhorn\Longhorn Transformation Pack.exe /s" /f REG ADD %KEY%\120 /V 2 /D "taskkill.exe /F /IM Longhorn Transformation Pack.exe" /f I don't know how you are coming up with your code. But i'm no expert Could someone verify this code and let me know if i'm anywhere close to right?! Thanks

Okay i'm not any stretch of an advanced user here So... i'm sure RunOnceEx is the last thing ran. So i'll put: REG ADD %KEY%\140 /VE /D "Enabling Windows File Protection" /f REG ADD %KEY%\140 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\wfp.reg" /f in the last line of my RunOnceEx How does that sound?

What do you mean "if this is the 'last unattended method' being run" ? I thought that's what i asked you? I don't know the order so i was guessing that runonceex was one of the last things ran because it runs after first boot? Thanks

@AaronXP What do you mean at the end? The end of my RunOnceEx file? Which process is one of the last processed? Because i'm sure it would go there But i don't know where that is, so let me know. Thanks

@mazin I hate to be a stickler but could you help me port that to my RunOnceEx file. I'm not very familiar with taskkill? Will that also work with some of my stubborn Wise Installers? Thanks EDIT: By the way, does this install the boot screen? I kinda like that but i know it's not part of the default installation. Plus i know that would be difficult because of the whole "please wait one minute so the boot screen can install" when running the installer. So if you got any ideas, let me know.

sure did, worked like a charm Thanks

Okay... I want to install this new Longhorn Transformation 4.0 Refresh silently on my Unattended CD, it's sweet But when i installed it i noticed that the installer tells you to cancel the WFP errors that occur. So i did... and everything went fine But on the other hand i know i can't have those errors during an unattended install. So i did a search on WFP and found some interesting things at MSFN's Unattended Guide This scares me a little bit... So i was wondering if it is possible to disable WFP during the install and re-enable it automatically afterwards. If anyone can help me, or know another way of installing this, your help will be appreciated. Thank You

I didn't But i read a post earlier on in my research that said XCOPY didn't work. And it seemed like a good excuse lol But i know better. So i only need the .msi and the .cab file? The other three are gone then! Thanks

Thanks, have you tried it? 20MB on dial-up is like 4 years...

@mazin Everythiong you've said has been way over my head Could you just back up a little and explain everything in simpler terms I would love to install this also! Thanks

Anyone figure this out?

Believe me, i read that too. But forgive me, but i feel a little bit out of the loop This installs a new theme (like Luna)?!?! I read it... just don't quite understand what it is talking about Is it a skinning app? Thanks

self-explanatory

While we are on the topic of .msi packages. I have 5 files in my /AdobeReader6/ folder: 0x0409.inf Abcpy.inf AR6.msi Data1.rar setup.exe Do i only need AR6.msi to correctly install Adobe Reader? Thanks

I tried to install it using XCOPY and i didn't get any file associaions so i'm just double checking. So i'll go ahead and use /QN because they is already the RunOnceEx menu up...who needs a progress bar lol

sweet What's the difference between qn/ and qb/ ? Does this also associate .nfo files with **** NFO Viewer? Thanks

I don't mean to sound like a newbie but i downloaded the file, now what do i do? What do i need to put in my RunOnceEx file? I know i've used these .msi files before?! I think it was with Adobe Reader...i can't remember Thanks

I've found a few topics on this subject already, and yet none of them pointed out the way to install **** NFO Viewer silently? I've seen posts that say you need to import reg settings to associate it with .nfo files. Others say it tries to run itself after installing (that's a problem) Some say /s others say /S... Well could someone be so kind to help me out step by step on what i need to silently install it using RunOnceEx? By the way here is some code i copy and pasted out of someones posted RunOnceEx file: REG ADD %KEY%\035 /VE /D "Installing **** NFO Viewer" /f REG ADD %KEY%\035 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\****\DamnNFOViewer.exe" /f But as you can see he/she has no switches at all?! This puzzles me?! I would appreciate some help Thank You

Can someone tell me why all my programs (i.e MSN Messenger, mIRC, FlashFXP) have these ugly white box's around the item in the toolbar (i.e File, Edit, View, Help)?!?!? They cannot be found on IE or Windows Explorer so i have no clue where they are coming from. It could be this line in my winnt.sif: [Shell] CustomDefaultThemeFile="%systemroot%\Resources\Themes\Longhorn.theme" Because someone told me that is was because my theme was doing it, and they are semi-right becuase if i re-apply the default Windows XP Theme they go away?!? But if this is true does that mean i can't install a custom theme on my Unattended CD? If anyone can shed some light on this i would appreciate it... Thanks

could you post the code for networking info? I see the place to tell it not to use the defaults, but i don't see where to input the ip? Thanks

I have a Lucent Win Modem and the latest drivers. But, which file(s) is the driver itself? Here's a list of the files in the RAR: ltdftnt.cat ltmdmnt.sys LTDFTNT.INF LTREMOVE.EXE Thanks

Unattended I know how to do it in windows: Right-click network connection Properties Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties Use the following IP address... But how would i go about setting this up automatically? Thanks

I'm using a built-in to motherboard NIC. How would i go about setting a Static ip and Subnet Mask on my Local Area Connection? I know there's a simple solution to this... Thanks
