I got it to work a long time ago by running the control panel applet as admin, this loaded the driver, allowing ImDisk to work perfectly.

32bit or 64bit?
You must run this program as administrator: Right click the exe file, and select "Run as Administrator".
32 bit, and I already installed it, but when I right click to mount it doesn't work. It's A shell extension, and a CPL, The Installer is a .exe.

I Installed ImDisk on Vista Ultimate SP1, but can't mount because the driver won't load. How can I make it load?

why not use psShutdown frm SysinernalsSuite ?
psshutdown.exe -f -r -t <time> -v 0
Thanks, it hid the countdown, but you did forget to list a very important switch, /accepteula. Without it, an unattended install gets stopped dead.

Thank you, I will give it a go now ...

I want to time a shutdown to occur 60 seconds after RunOnceEx finishes on XP Professional SP3, but I don't want the annoying, ugly timer box, or any batch windows to appear at all. How can I accomplish this?

The program ran, but unfortunately, it didn't block user input while installing in virtualbox, however, if executed on my real PC it does block everything except CTRL + ALT + DEL combination, so maybe it's just a virtualbox issue? Also I suppose CTRL + ALT + DEL working is a good thing as it could be used as a failsafe, and not let a typical user cancel runonceex, as they might not think of it.

Thanks, I'll try it asap!

Use nLite. It worked fine on my XP Pro SP3 VLK disk.
What about doing it manually?
Not sure how to do it manually

Is it even possible to make this work on SP3 Pro VLK with IE7?
Also, what are all the files that should be inside the SFX? I keep getting an error that says Windows cannot find WUsetup.exe.

you could write a simple program in vb that blocks user input and start it at the beginning of RunOnceEX and performs a loop to see when the last but 1 key has completed then allows input again and then your last key should reboot the computer.
cmdlines.cmd - Modify this to your INF file, make sure you start BlockInput using %COMSPEC% /C or RunOnceEX will not continue
SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx
REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Additional Applications" /f
REG ADD %KEY% /V FLAGS /D "dword:0x00000110" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\000 /VE /D "Blocking User Input" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\000 /V 1 /D "%COMSPEC% /C START <PATH>\BlockInput.exe" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\019 /VE /D "WHATEVER YOU WANT" /f <---This is the key to check has completed, When it has it gets deleted
REG ADD %KEY%\019/V 1 /D "WHATEVER YOU WANT.exe" /f so Result = 0 and continues to run
REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "Restarting The Computer" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "Shutdown -f -r -t 60" /fBlockInput.exe

End Subyou can modify the code to enumerate all the subkeys under RunOnceEX and the deduct 1 from it or use a simple text file with the number to check for as the only entry in it so that you dont have to recompile every time you make a change.
the alternative crude approach is to just block input and allow windows to shut it when you reboot, with this approach you dont need to start it using %COMSPEC% as it blocks input then exits so gives an exit code to RunOnceEX and continues

End SubPlease be aware though i have not tested that either of these work, on paper they do, if i get time i might compile them and modify it to try and fit as many peoples needs as possible, but don't hold your breath, i am very busy on modifying something for work.
if you don't have vb6 installed or any programming experience i am sure someone on here has, perhaps the moderators will pass it onto the dev team and they will examine the code and put it on here for the whole community.
i myself prefer to compile myself then i know exactly what it does and whats in it
Hope This Helps.

Not really sure how to do that
. Is there any way I could disable the mouse and keyboard during runonceex?If it helps, this is my runonceex.inf file

This inf successfully installs Media Center and TabletPC components on XP Pro, as long as the proper reg entries are added. (XP Ultimate)

I have completed the process but I had one question. Since I am using XP SP3 Professional, do I still need to integrate the KB905474 (WGAN) or is it added with SP3?

Hey there, Good afternoon.
You should attach a file called "cmdow.exe" in this location -> \$OEM$\$$\System32.
After you've done this, in your RunOnceEx.cmd file you should start it with such option:
cmdow @ /HID
@echo off
Good luck!
Sorry, but I'm doing it by INF, not cmd. I also did try that before and it does hide the command window but not anything else. I am using RunonceEx to install TabletPC and MediaCenter Components, and it does work (This is referred to XP Ultimate in this forum). The INF's copy files from CMPNENTS on disk 2 of XP, but they open copy progress dialog boxes that can be closed by clicking the cancel button or the red X. I wanted to be able to hide these copy boxes but am not sure how to do so, or at least make the cancel and X buttons disappear. I do have the CMDOW if it can be done to hide the copy boxes.

I have set up a unattended XP SP2 disk, with several components installed at runonceex. I have done it all by inf and it seems to work. I just have one issue with it. Many of the things I am installing use other inf files and open up copy boxes. How can I hide and disable these so that my runonceex cannot be canceled?

I needed help with Vista after using vLite. I used it to create an unattended setup for vista ultimate, but now the option to install vista ultimate says vista (vLite) ultimate. I desperately need help on how to change the name back to vista ultimate

nLite - Disable Web Folders And Files Connection?
in nLite
Posted
I used nLite Tweaks, and I think one of them enabled the offline files feature in XP (This Feature Disables Fast User Switching). I didn't remove anything, but I used the "Disable Web Folders And Files Connection", and I think that this, or some Addon I used caused it. How does this tweak work, and does it enable Offline files feature?
