I seem to have trouble getting Perfectdisk to install using the above instructions. I've followed them pretty much to the letter, but although the install program runs, it doesn't seem to installed anywhere on my drive. I'm using Perfectdisk 7.0 (downloaded version - pd70fw.exe). I've even extracted all the files from all the directories and put them in the same directory. Still no go. Trying to install under W2K using runonceex. Any clues as to what I might be doing wrong? thanks

Well, I got all of the latest updates to work with a W2K Server installation except for KB905495. I'm assuming this goes into SVC-HF1 but not sure. Haven't tried latest updates with W2K Professional yet. Only two updates that don't seem to work in any SVC folder and must be done separately with RunOnceEx. Those are KB897715 and KB904706. I've never gotten KB897715 to work with an W2K Pro installation without doing that also, but seems to work fine in runonceex. Just looking for a confirmation as to where 905495 goes before I give it a shot.

Used XPCREATE to make Windows 2k Pro boot disk. Anyone else getting this error at Register components: 2 errors actually An error occurred loading c:\WINNT\system32\inetcomm.dll. The file may not have been installed or it has been corrupted. An error occurred loading c:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msoe.dll. The file may not have been installed or it has been corrupted. Getting this consistently. I believe these two files are located in KB897715 which I have in SVC-HF1. Using the one for Outlook Express 6 SP1. I have to hit ok to bypass these errors. When the system is finally installed everything seems to run normally. All updates applied, can open up Outlook express and IE as well. These files are on the disk and they do seem to load the correct versions, etc.

For the first one, you need to enclose the folder location with \'s - /folder=\"C:\Program Files\irfanview\" since there is a space in the directory name - Program Files or even like this /folder=\"%systemdrive%\Program Files\irfanview\" For the Partition Magic install, put the REGEDIT line ahead of the install line.

Anybody gotten this to work with Acronis Trueimage 6.0? Tried the AutoIt script provided by spachtler using AutoIt3 with the appropriate changes being made in the script as far as controlclicks, etc. (as seen thru autoit spy) and it doesn't get past the first screen.

Thanks mazin. Worked great. It was just the syntax.

I may be wrong, but this may not be doable using RunOnceEx. As far as the documentation says, it should do updates when starting or running the program which at the time of install it is not actually doing, or is it?

Ok, I've seen this posted before albeit a little differently so I figured I'd try it and see what happens. Anyway, installed Spybot ok using the following line: REG ADD %KEY%\030 /VE /D "Spybot SD 1.3" /f REG ADD %KEY%\030 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\spybot\spybotsd13.exe /VERYSILENT /NOCANCEL /TASKBARHIDE /AUTOCLOSE /DIR=\"%systemdrive%\Program Files\Spybot\" /group=\"Spybot\"" /f Notice I changed the install directory and the group. Everything installs with this. Then later on I try to update Spybot using the following: REG ADD %KEY%\075 /VE /D "Spybot Update" /f REG ADD %KEY%\075 /V 1 /D "\"%systemdrive%\Program Files\Spybot\spybotsd.exe /taskbarhide /autoupdate /autoimmunize /autoclose\"" /f When this line executes, I get the following error: Is my syntax wrong or is a file actually missing or what? I think I am using the \" properly here since the directory has a space, but can't find anything else wrong with this. Note: Executing this line from a command prompt in the directory the program is in (C:\Program Files\Spybot) works as well, so I'm stuck.

Ok, here is my log file as you requested. LOGFILES.CAB

During the XPCREATE process, when its ready to use the SATA drivers, it doesn't seem to find the drivers. What would cause it to not find them?

Ok, this is what I have. Unsure of the Sourcedisksfile section and what values actually belong in there. I believe the destination directory value is 12, beyond that I don't know the format.

Anyone know the specification for an embedded adaptec raid controller in the txtsetup.sif file? Checked the sticky at the top of this forum, no dice. Can't find this particular spec.
