MCT

if a folder is popping up, then thats a process, its explorer.. u may have 2 kill & reenable explorer

REG ADD %KEY%\100 /V 3 /D "%systemdrive%\install\pskill.exe (process name) regards... taskkill may work better tho for what u want 2 do, 2 get the syntax just type taskkill /? in cmd

search the unattended forum for %CDROM% there are numerous ways 2 achieve that variable regards

just wondering why u want each one in its seperate window? but look here MS Dos Help & Commands regards

this seems 2 work for alot of ppl other then that, im not sure

wat about msiexec.exe /i "%CDROM%\Applications\NetFramework\netfx.msi /qb"

of course u need other things, winnt.sif is only for the text/GUI parts of the setup regards

basically, just use what it selects as "safe" then remove others, only 1 or 2 at a time regards

try a reg tweak, search the reg tweak forum regards

u probly just removed something crutial to your setup, so just go back & add 1 thing at a time, its time consuming, but at the end of the day, u know it works regards

u can do all the unattended install

if it dont restart its good enough

hi, few things your missing xcopy "%programfiles%\MyIE2\MyIE2.lnk" "%allusersprofile%\Start Menu\Programs" /Y %allusersstartmenu% isnt a windows variable regards

ya, gosh's site is quite handy, thats what i used 2 get me started regards

in your log netplwiz.dll isnt removed, so i doubt this is an nlite problem try 2 make your disc without nlite with the same settings/tweaks 2 see if it works ok? regards

isnt the admin account X:\documents and settings\administrator\my documents ? why would u want an icon pointing 2 something on cd? some installers have an option 2 create an icon during setup of the prog. so u can just copy it 2 whereever from where it creates the icon? regards

also try the /qn switch ? regards

question #1, the adobe prob.. the following works for me AdobeReader6.exe -p"""-s /v\"""/qn\""" question #2 the msgr prob... wat if u use taskkill ? for syntax of it goto cmd type taskkill /? regards

will u post your nlite files? attach them in a rar/zip so we can see them? may help if u can tell us everything that was removed via the config files when u used nlite did u use it on an original source (copied from your original xp disc?) regards

took me about 7hrs to iron out my runonceex file, but that was from learning inf files to testing it about 10x Note: i wouldnt make an inf then burn it 2 cd and turn around and install windows on your normal pc, chances are first time u do it u will get some sort of error..play with it in vmware first 2 make sure it works well regards

on the vmware window click the VM button, then it should auto load the vmware tools in your virtual machine, goto my computer, right click the cd drive (usually D:\) then goto explore, and click the msi file , i think its called vmware_tools.msi (i could be wrong tho) but i think its the only 1 there regards

look here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=20502 theres info on the unattended install of dreamweaver mx regards

ive never had any problems, (other then typing errors) its a bit harder tho

weird.. for the vmware tools, are u under the name "Administrator" ? ive had a prob just recently where vmware tools only would install under the administrator account, even tho the account i ran it from had admin privledges.. but what worked for me, was just double clicking the .msi file inside the cd ISO, that fixed my prob... try puting that .dll in the "keep" section of nlite, so it wont get deleted or modified maybe? (u will have 2 run nlite on a clean OS that hasnt been modified by it, 2 make sure your not getting currupt entries on top of 1 and other) regards

personally, ive just converted to runonceEX, i personally like it cuz u get a GUI, instead of .cmd window EDIT: and with runonceEX u can just use an inf 2 install EVERYTHING it beats switching 2 cmd and running .reg files from cmd lol cmd is easier.. less typing (as u said) but, why not download a trial of vmware and play around a bit? regards
