    Install directory is not deleted by cleanup.cmd

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    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:

    cmdow @ /HID

    net user aspnet /delete

    shutdown.exe -r -f -t 60 -c "Windows XP will now restart in 1minute..."

    RD /S /Q "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Java Web Start"

    DEL "%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Windows Media Player.lnk"

    DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Windows Movie Maker.lnk"

    DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop\Java Web Start.lnk"

    DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\LaunchRA.lnk"

    RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\Drivers\

    RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\Install\

    EXIT

    I also tried
    RMDIR /S /Q %systemdrive%\Drivers\

    RMDIR /S /Q %systemdrive%\Install\

    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.

    RD %systemdrive%\drivers\ /S /Q

    RD %systemdrive%\install\ /S /Q

    Basically the same thing as above???

    Thanks again maxXPsoft. You know, if I'm not careful, I might actually learn something. :rolleyes:

    :) maxXPsoft,

    Thanks to you I have made some progress. This is what I have so far.

    cmdow @ /HID

    net user aspnet /delete

    RD /S /Q "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Java Web Start"

    DEL "%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Windows Media Player.lnk"

    DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Windows Movie Maker.lnk"

    DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop\Java Web Start.lnk"

    DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\LaunchRA.lnk"

    RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\Drivers\

    RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\Install\

    shutdown.exe -r -f -t 60 -c "Windows XP will now restart in 1minute..."

    EXIT

    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,

    If you do have Admin rights which was one of my problem's but no longer. Move this line down to right above EXIT.

    shutdown.exe -r -f -t 60 -c "Windows XP will now restart in 1 minute..."

    EXIT

    When I tried this, it just hung there. Never rebooted

    KMan,

    I increased time to 2 mins and no help

    HKLM,"%RunOnceEx%\ZZcleanup",2,,"%11%\cmd.exe /c rd /S /Q %10%\Apps"

    Sorry Gosh,

    I'm completely lost on how to apply this code. And what is ZZcleanup?

    Please pardon my ignorance,

    Thanks

    Here is a copy of my cleanup.cmd

    cmdow @ /HID

    shutdown.exe -r -f -t 60 -c  "Windows XP will now restart in 1 minute..."

    net user aspnet /delete

    RD /S /Q "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Java Web Start"

    DEL "%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Windows Media Player.lnk"

    DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Windows Movie Maker.lnk"

    DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop\Java Web Start.lnk"

    DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\LaunchRA.lnk"

    DEL "%systemdrive%\Install\"

    RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\Install\

    RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\drivers\

    EXIT

    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

    Thanks evilvoice,

    I think I found the problem in my regtweaks.

    QUOTE 

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\Themes]With no value set.

    Thanx 

    Did changing this have any positive effect? if so what did you add?

    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
