Disoriented One

I'm sure you will. Welcome

Aaron, First of all thanks for the reply. I'm sure I didn't make this clear. Sometimes I can't see the forrest for the trees. Any how this is where I'm at the moment: I also tried with the same results At this point everything in "C:\Install" is deleted, but not the directory. I probably should leave well enough alone, but haven't the sense to. Can't remember if I tried this yet. Duh I have an advancing case of CRS. Basically the same thing as above??? Thanks again maxXPsoft. You know, if I'm not careful, I might actually learn something.

maxXPsoft, Thanks to you I have made some progress. This is what I have so far. This would delete everything in C:\Install but not the directory itself and shut.exe would not run. I then put shutdown.exe in the third line and it executes just fine and deletes everything in C:\Install. I know there is more than one way to skin a cat. Thanks for your help

maxXPsoft, When I tried this, it just hung there. Never rebootedKMan, I increased time to 2 mins and no help Sorry Gosh, I'm completely lost on how to apply this code. And what is ZZcleanup? Please pardon my ignorance, Thanks

Thanks for all the replies. I'll report back later.

Well no luck so far

enuffsaid, I'll give it a try. Thanx

Thanks RayOK, I guess all it took to get a default wallpaper was to convert wallpaper.jpg to a .bmp.

Here is a copy of my cleanup.cmd Everything else seems to be working as advertised. But after all is said and done "C:\Install" is still there. Any ideals as to what I'm doing wrong? Thanks

4th, I'm 43

Dollars I'm sorry to say it had no effect. But at this point I think you are further down the road than myself

DarkBringer, I think you have shown me the light . This is what I think the problem is, not setting a theme in the .sif. In my case any way. I checked in my themes folder and found that in "Windows Classic.theme" the wallpaper is defaulted to none. So my guess is that if you don't specify a theme in the .sif you get the good old "Windows Classic". For grins I looked into "Luna.theme" and found "mywallpaper.jpg" that over wrote "bliss.jpg" with. Anyway I'm cautiously hopeful. Thanx all

DarkBringer, Yes, I have my wallpaper in $OEM$\$$\Web\Wallpaper folder. I even overwrote Bliss.jpg, makecab'd it and copied into I386 folder. No joy. evilvoice, I will try your suggestion. Jotnar, I'll try it. It's got to be something so simple I'm missing it. Thanks all

Well back to square 1. Still no wallpaper

Thanks evilvoice, I think I found the problem in my regtweaks. With no value set. Thanx

Ok when it comes to unattended installs I'm about as green as it gets. Anyway for some reason at the first logon the default wallpaper is set to "none". Any ideals. TIA
