Incroyable HULK

I must confess, I am pretty annoyed with all those French Accent of my language. Every time I am writing a batch file, RunOnce keys, I got problems. Here is a resume of what I have found so far along with missing pieces: 1) Batch Files Lowercase to get à I must write … to get â I must write f to get ç I must write ‡ to get é I must write , to get è I must write Š to get ê I must write ˆ to get î I must write Œ to get ô I must write “ Uppercase to get À I must write · to get  I must write ¶ to get Ç I must write € to get É I must write ? to get È I must write Ô to get Ê I must write Ò to get Î I must write × to get Ô I must write â Special Caracters to get ® I must write © BUT how do I get © and ™ Also, I am unable to remove this F*&?%$g Adobe Reader 7 shortcut DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Menu D,marrer\Programmes\D,marrage\Lancement rapide d'Adobe Reader.lnk" 2) RunOnceEx Seems to be the same as a Batch File BUT it doesn't work for the é Come on French Members, let's get over this matter once and for all!

Well, this is the first time I am posting in this section... I always hang at the Unattended Windows section!

I meant that I always do my research FIRST before posting... (well most of the time). And Dynamic Drive is already in my Bookmark. I've known this site for very long... in fact since I did my first website back in 2001. So I tought that people hanging in this section (Web Development (HTML, Java, PHP, ASP, XML, etc.) would find this site Obvious... like hey, you can't miss this one... it's always comming out first on search engine

I preffer MHz method. It works great in Win2K, WinXP and the code is reusable with all my versions since I am looking for CD.bin which is present on all of my CD. The method you suggested is checking for the CD label which is different on every CD. I like it when my Unattended OS are updated the same way. One less thing to worry about. I can copy/paste my code from one another without having to care about fancy details

A simpler solution would be to put your .doc inside your $OEM$ folder: \$OEM$\$Docs\Administrator\Start Menu\Programs\Start\ \$OEM$\$Docs\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Start\ \$OEM$\$Docs\Default User\Start Menu\Programs\Start\ This way it would be added to the start menu BUT it would launch everytime the computer is rebooted until you delete it from the start menu. Otherwise, just launch the file as the last step of your RunOnceEx.cmd

If you want to save space on your CD and also keep the original Adobe Reader 6, here is my solution. Just use the original .exe you downloaded. No need to extract. Run with this command in RunOnceEx.cmd REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Adobe Reader 6.0.1" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\AdobeReader\AdobeReader6.exe -p\"-s /v\"/qn\"\"" /f

@`Felix` Added!

I know... I'm the one who made it!

Thanks but I already checked these obvious sites before posting

I'm waiting for you! screenshot

This looks great! But the thing that sucks is that it is only valid for 60 days... Maybe it is possible to do a comparison between Before and After applying this command and find out if other files than the WINNT.SIF are modified...

I agree with evilvoice about your question, the ISO is "optimized". It is a way of storing the same files on a CD only once. Only the table of content (TOC) is aware that a file is present on different location on the CD but only physicaly stored 1 time.

Go to the command prompt, type cmd + enter type TASKKILL /? + enter to find out...

Let's hope so ... according to RogueSpear he had to "Force Install" the proper drivers for SoundMAX. So they won't hook to the proper driver during Unattended Install if you have to force them...

Well with my method, there is no IE6 popup... mm_fl_sw_installer.msi /qn But I don't know if it works for FireFox...

2. Custom drivers. You can test the driver part by adding the WMware drivers provided with the program Just extract the VMware drivers in the ISO you will find installed in the WMware Program folder: Program Files\VMware\VMware Workstation\windows.iso Open the ISO file and extract the drivers you will find here: CD\program files\VMware\VMware Tools\Drivers Thanks to prathapml for pointing that out to me!

4. Special dirs. YOUR ProfilesDir IS IN THE WRONG SECTION OF WINNT.SIF If you want to move the default location of: Program Files Common Program Files Documents and Setting you have to partition and format the drive BEFORE running the Unattended Setup because only the Windows destination drive gets formated. [Unattended] ProgramFilesDir="D:\Program Files" CommonProgramFilesDir="D:\Program Files\Common Files" [GuiUnattended] ProfilesDir="E:\Documents and Settings\" OR you can use environment variables ProfilesDir="%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Documents and Settings\"

I tried mm_fl_sw_installer.msi /qn and it seems to work fine @LispWarez /s is still halting for the language If I do mm_fl_sw_installer.msi /? this is what I get:

Read the guide and remove the space between each entry under OemPnPDriversPath... EDIT: It is the same even for Windows 2000

@Lucius Snow The download you suggested seems to address SP2 as well: But the Blue Screen is happening BEFORE the Hotfixes are applied (at stage T-13) so I don't think this can work... @Astalavista Would you mind telling your solution?

@everyone Come on, get over The Matrix... use a bit more imagination

Hummm. not sure I'll have to check tomorrow...

Yep! the Beta is working!

Ok! great ... we where editing our post at the same time Nice thing to know that you can use: [GuiUnattended] ProfilesDir="%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Documents and Settings\" BUT only for ProfilesDir... probably because the User Account creation is done at the first GUI logon

Sorry I've read your post too fast! I am not sure that you can specify a new name for Documents and Settings. I think it is intended for the location... I've never tested with other names. [Unattended] ProgramFilesDir="D:\Program Files" CommonProgramFilesDir="D:\Program Files\Common Files" [GuiUnattended] ProfilesDir="E:\Documents and Settings\" Maybe someone could confirm... EDIT: Maybe it can work with the FULL path "C:\users"
