I will have to give it try. Thanks.

Always to my rescue! But i still got nothin' I think i've tried it every way possible and cant get it to work right. I tried doing it, but alls it did was open up the folder of the WinISO directory. It's been a long day. Maybe I will go home and take a breather. Can you quote mine and make a note of where exactly the /S is supposed to go? Thanks, Sorry 'bout the brain lapse I am having later, 0007

I'm doing the same thing, but with RunOnceEX and also so it doesn't need to reboot so i have the "rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess" at the end of the RunOnceEX.cmd. It promts me saying Do you want to add the registry changes to the registry now? so i have to click on OK, and then it says something that it did it correctly. So i have to press OK again. How do I bypass this in RunOnceEX???? Here''s what the part where WinISO is in my cmd file... REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "WinISO 5.3" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\WinISO\winiso53.exe /VERYSILENT /SP" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 2 /D "%CDROM%\WinISO\winiso.reg" /f Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, 0007

In my batch, when I run the above command, it gives me an error "too many command- line parameters" Any reason why I would get that? Obviously I'm doing it wrong, but I copied and pasted from the 2 posts above and doesn't seem to work for me. Thanks, 0007

Alanoll, I tried it out today and it works perfect. Thanks so much. Now if only I could get that DOS window to close or not display while the runonceEX screen is up... I will have to play around some more. It will finally give me something to do at work. Later, 0007

Thanks for the quick reply. So it would look something like this: @echo off SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Adobe Acrobat Reader 6 - Full" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\install\Applications\AdobeReader6\AdbeRdr60_enu_full.exe -p"-s /v\"/qn\""" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Microsoft Office 2003 Pro" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\install\Applications\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=testUA.MST /qb- /noreboot" /f REG ADD %KEY%\055 /VE /D "Cleaning Up and Rebooting" /f REG ADD %KEY%\055 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\install\cleanup.cmd" /f rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess EXIT or would I put it before my "clean up and reboot" stuff? I've got my regular cmd batch working, and it installs the apps and everything just fine.....but i would like this new look... I will have to give it a try and see how it goes..... thanks, Rory

Hi All, This is my first post. I try not to post at all unless I cant find what exactly I am looking for in any other threads. You've all done good so far I'm one of those guys who actually reads through the forums before posting. I've been trying to figure this one out for a couple weeks... Maybe I'm not following correctly or something, but here's my question/problem... I've made my XP Unattend CD with all the newest updates that I want, and the First CD is great. Now I am attempting to do the 2nd CD with the AUTORUN.INF so it's universal to all computers and isn't tied to the 1st CD in any way, as stated earlier in the forum. I have all my apps in the "apps" folder(for Image of CD 2) I want and now I am thinking how to add the cmd file to the AUTORUN.INF on my root(one level up from apps folder) of my cd. I know the syntax of the autorun.inf, but I want it to install the programs right away(without restart/logoff). I want it to display the installation how it does when it goes through the RunOnceEX, I like the look of it. But I wanna do it instantly, so I dont have to restart or logoff, or whatever to make it install from CD 2. What exactly do I need to do in order to accomplish this so it looks professional??? Is that what the, hence, AUTRUN.INF going to do, is install the stuff right away? Thanks, Rory
