My unattended setup stalls between mini-setup and GuiRunOnce command execution. The user must manually logoff or restart after adding a user in the mini-setup. Once that has been done, GuiRunOnce commands execute as expected. Textmode setup completes as expected. CMDLINES.TXT is called, does its thing (HKCU tweaks). Next mini-setup kicks in, asks about WU, LAN, and asks for a user name. I want this operation - it forces users to create an Administrator not named Administrator). I enter a user name, click next then finish. Setup then presents a desktop with my newly created user logged and stalls until a user manually logs off or restarts. Then GuiRunOnce commands execute. It only takes a logoff/restartto get things going again. How do I get setup to perform that logoff/restart without user intervention. That is, how do I eliminate the "stall" between the end of mini-setup and the start of GuiRunOnce commands? It's got to be something simple, any suggestions appreciated. I tried, but while searching the forums was educational, I just got too many hits to read everything on "mini-setup/runonce/stall/restart" searches. Thanks.
