A VBScript is completly hidden but you have be able to write this kind of script or you can use CMDOW.EXE to hide the dos window CMDOW.EXE

Well if you unlock your taskbar you will be able to resize it as you wish. Have you use a reg tweak to enable the taskbar unattended? It's my first idea for this problem....

From command line I don't know but a way to automatically create your network connection (if it is for unattended install) is to create your connection and copy the file called rasphone.pbk to your $OEM$ folder and copy it back where it was at install time - your connection should be created when you logged for the first time. %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk\rasphone.pbk If you really wanna do it with command prompt then wait for other post. Good luck

Make sure you have these 3 files in the root of your CD WIN51 WIN51IP WIN51IP.SP2

@e9325 You probably removed a file called "BOOTFIX.BIN" that is supposed to be in \I386 folder. I'm not 100% sure but I think it's this one

@SiMoNsAyS I don't understand what you mean by "%PROGRAMFILES% variable it's not valid, only on hex values". Copy-paste this code into a batch and it work Am I asleep or what, pinch me someone REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\http\DefaultIcon /VE /D "%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe,1"

@RaveRod I'm not sure if we are talking about the same grey color of window but it can be change without passing by windows theme The grey of window is ButtonFace And many more colors customization possible in this hive Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors] "ActiveBorder"="212 208 200" "ActiveTitle"="10 36 106" "AppWorkSpace"="128 128 128" "Background"="0 41 83" "ButtonAlternateFace"="181 181 181" "ButtonDkShadow"="64 64 64" "ButtonFace"="212 208 200" "ButtonHilight"="255 255 255" "ButtonLight"="212 208 200" "ButtonShadow"="128 128 128" "ButtonText"="0 0 0" "GradientActiveTitle"="166 202 240" "GradientInactiveTitle"="192 192 192" "GrayText"="128 128 128" "Hilight"="10 36 106" "HilightText"="255 255 255" "HotTrackingColor"="0 0 128" "InactiveBorder"="212 208 200" "InactiveTitle"="128 128 128" "InactiveTitleText"="212 208 200" "InfoText"="0 0 0" "InfoWindow"="255 255 225" "Menu"="212 208 200" "MenuText"="0 0 0" "Scrollbar"="212 208 200" "TitleText"="255 255 255" "Window"="255 255 255" "WindowFrame"="0 0 0" "WindowText"="0 0 0" "MenuHilight"="49 106 197" "MenuBar"="236 233 216" @gmx Yes I think it is what you want

@SiMoNsAyS Like I said, it is registry settings I keep for when I will do it and your right about drive independant. If not done by an other one before I did, be sure all this will be convert into something like... REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\http\DefaultIcon /VE /D "%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe,1" ... ...

I have started to find this but have not completed this work (too busy) That's what I have found until now and keep for when I will have time. Maybe it will give you few ideas...

Because RUNDLL32.EXE can be used somewhere else, you should use CMDOW.EXE to close this window only without touching the other RUNDLL32.EXE process. CMDOW.EXE CMDOW.EXE "Network Setup Wizard" /CLS

@prathapml I didn't thought it was to be that fast but it is Windows XP SP2 French --------

I have tried to get the same message (cannot find close.cmd) but I can't Have you tried without enableextensions... like this... TITLE WindowToClose ECHO ping -n 120 127.0.0.1 >nul >> %WINDIR%\CLOSE.CMD ECHO CMDOW.EXE WindowToClose /CLS >> %WINDIR%\CLOSE.CMD ECHO DEL /F /Q %WINDIR%\CLOSE.CMD >> %WINDIR%\CLOSE.CMD ECHO EXIT >> %WINDIR%\CLOSE.CMD call common.cmd If /I %computername%==Computer GOTO Comp1 ELSE GOTO Comp2 :Comp1 call Comp1.cmd GOTO END :Comp2 call Comp2.cmd GOTO END :END START %WINDIR%\CLOSE.CMD set /p Install="For a 2cd setup, Press Y" If %Install%==Y CALL 2cd.cmd ECHO Done

It's just too bad that it takes 2 EXE to do it. There must be a single program for that somewhere. We just don't know where it is hidden.. B)

I'm a little surprise that the close.cmd window is not closing automatically but adding EXIT at the end is a good idea. Like I said, a little tricky but it seem to work

If you can't make it work with process.exe there's a way to do it (a little tricky but it work) - you need sleep.exe and cmdow.exe SLEEP.EXE and CMDOW.EXE TITLE WindowToClose ECHO SLEEP.EXE 120>>%WINDIR%\CLOSE.CMD ECHO CMDOW.EXE WindowToClose /CLS>>%WINDIR%\CLOSE.CMD ECHO DEL /F /Q %WINDIR%\CLOSE.CMD>>%WINDIR%\CLOSE.CMD call common.cmd If /I %computername%==Computer GOTO Comp1 If /I NOT %computername%==Computer GOTO Comp2 :Comp1 call Comp1.cmd GOTO END :Comp2 call Comp2.cmd GOTO END :END START %WINDIR%\CLOSE.CMD set /p Install="For a 2cd setup, Press Y" If %Install%==Y CALL 2cd.cmd ECHO Done I have not test it but why it shouldn't work... To print an empty line in a file ECHO. in enough ECHO.>FILE.TXT Hope this help

I don't know why people are always use start /wait when call is doing the same job. Maybe someone could post me the reason why... @shadowfla: For your batch try this command (you forgot a quote at the end of freeenc.exe) start /wait "C:\Program Files\DIKO\FreeEnc\FreeEnc.exe" /i "C:\finals\scripts\11.avs" /o "C:\finals\mpvs\11.mpv" /2 /b 2000 /aspectratio 4:3 /gopsize 18 /maxbitrate 4000 /priority 5 /dc 8 /mpeg2 /scene /extreme /maxbframes 2 /kvcd /auto /close And if it don't work, try this one CALL "C:\Program Files\DIKO\FreeEnc\FreeEnc.exe" /i "C:\finals\scripts\11.avs" /o "C:\finals\mpvs\11.mpv" /2 /b 2000 /aspectratio 4:3 /gopsize 18 /maxbitrate 4000 /priority 5 /dc 8 /mpeg2 /scene /extreme /maxbframes 2 /kvcd /auto /close Make sure that 11.AVS is in C:\finals\scripts 11.mpv is in C:\finals\mpvs -----------

I recently made test with this variables and %USERPROFILE% & %ALLUSERSPROFILE% work good but %APPDATA% did not work at T12

Well I'm out of ideas. If it work with the original CD and not the slipstreamed it's maybe something about sp1a. Try with SP2. Wait for other post maybe someone who had this problem in the past will be able to help you more. Good luck

What glent mean is you forgot the quotes for the long file path. Your command should look like this... start /wait regsvr32.exe /s "c:\Program Files\Google\GoogleToolbar1.dll" Hope this help

What do you mean... I suggest to go to your raid controller manufacturer and download the latest driver available. It should contain the files and the INF needed (copy these files on a floppy disk). You will be able to use the F6 to install you driver. Or you could slipstreamed your raid drivers into your installation CD. There's a link to show you how to... Slipstreaming SATA/RAID Drivers

Verify that you have an INF file on your raid drivers floppy. Drivers are installed by INF's I don't think you should search for a problem anywhere else.

All you need is in the link I gave you [GuiUnattended] ProfilesDir="C:\Documents and Settings\" [unattended] ProgramFilesDir="C:\My Program Files"

For a common INF rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %path%\file.inf For an advanced INF 2.5 rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %path%\file.inf,DefaultInstall in your case it's probably a common INF

Check this link for ProgramFilesDir & ProfilesDir Reference - winnt.sif commands explained

If you wanna use MAKECAB try this command... MAKECAB.EXE /D COMPRESSIONTYPE=LZX FileToCompress
