seems like changing my /qb to /qn fixed the problem.

Is there anyway to stick with the original installer? I'm always concerned about not beign able to update application that have been re-packaged later...

Hey guys I'm installing Acrobat Reader 7.0 as part of my unattended setup and I get a very annoying dialog box during the setup that says "The following applications should be closed before continuing the installation: Windows XP Setup". I have to hit the ignore button to finish my installation. Here's how i'm running the setup ECHO Installing Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Reader start "ACROBAT0" /wait "tools\AdbeRdr70_enu_full.exe" /w /v"/qb EULA_ACCEPT=YES" ECHO Installing Adobe Acrobat 7.0.1 Update start "ACROBAT1" /wait "tools\Acro-Reader_701_update.exe" /w /v"/qb" ECHO Installing Adobe Acrobat 7.0.2 Update start "ACROBAT2" /wait "tools\Acro-Reader_702_update.exe" /w /v"/qb" ECHO Installing Adobe Acrobat 7.0.3 Update start "ACROBAT3" /wait "tools\Acro-Reader_703_update.exe" /w /v"/qb" I've included a screenshot. Thanks!

I think your best guest would be to change the default Program Files location I do not mean to relocate it because this is kind of messy but you can change the value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ProgramFilesDir from C:\Program files to D:\Program files applications that you install look at this key to know where to go by default... I'm not totally sure this will work in 100% of the cases but i do use this and it works for me ! anyway Hope this helps! Marc

i'm not sure if anybody is still looking at this post, but did anybody figured how to scan the registry automatically? Marc

Hmm I have a few questions for you: 1. did you put you install files in $OEM$\$1 at the same level of the i386? And yes you have to put the OEMPreinstall value to yes so it will copy the data anyway hope this helps maybe you could use cmdlines.txt instead of guirunonce as it will install applications for all users...

there's only one word to describre this package: WOW!

That was it, thanks! as for winamp i can not find the winamp.msi looks like all the links i see are broken.... MAP

Hey all! I must admit you guy are doing a remarkable job! I found a load of valuable information around here... Anyway keep it up. Now i have a small issue. I use RIS on windows 2003 to deploy windows XP not SP1 for now. in the folder \\server\REMINST\Setup\English\Images\WINDOWS\$OEM$ i created a folder $1 which is supposed to be copied to the %systemdrive% I put a folder in there containing pagedefrag... i also created a folder $$ that contains beenhere.txt which is a test... My confusion starts here, when the setup run i can press Shift F10 to open a command prompt then i go in the folder $Win_nt$.~ls\$OEM$ All the data is there but this beautiful data never get copied to the c:\ or c:\windows? but I have a problem which it might be related too, i install winamp 5.03 using the /S parameter, it work up to there and installs winamp but i stay stuck with the Registration kind of form even if i have the taskkill command. start "WinAMP" /wait "winamp\winamp503_full.exe" /S taskkill /f /im winamp.exe in the end when the station reboots and i log in the $Win_nt$.~ls\$OEM$ is not deleted but all the data inside is gone? anyway so the questions are: 1. why is $1 data not copied properly or how can i troubleshoot it? 2. why is the $Win_nt$.~ls\$OEM$ not killed or how can i troubleshoot it? 3. god **** how do we kill this F#($&* window from winamp? thanks!
