Hi, how do I skip the "Lets take a moment to setup your computer" thing that is in OEM? EDIT: Figured that part out, next part is below ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes UnattendSwitch="yes" TargetPath=\WINDOWS [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword="xxxxxx" EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone = 035 OemSkipWelcome=1 [UserData] ProductKey=xxxxx FullName="Mary T" OrgName="Interiors by J&M" ComputerName=JM1 [Identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [GuiRunOnce] "%systemdrive%\install.cmd" When I first log on it says it could not find install.cmd is there something here preventing me from copying my $OEM$ directory? In the $OEM$ directory, no sub folder, my install.cmd resides. I cant see the $OEM$ folder on my hard drive, which makes me think it didnt copy... please help My $OEM$ folder is structured like this: -$OEM$ | -$Progs (in that folder I have Adobe Reader, Java 6, and Thunderbird, then I have the following) | -Avast | -OOF

well, I guess I will be usiong GuiRunOnce... but i am confused with the swtiches... how is this so far? cmdow @ /HID @echo off SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f REG ADD %KEY%05 /VE /D "Acrobat Reader 8.0" /f REG ADD %KEY%05 /V 1 /D "%PP%AdbeRdr80_enu_full.exe -p"-s /v\"/qn\""" /f REG ADD %KEY%10 /VE /D "Now installing Thunderbird" /f REG ADD %KEY%10 /V 1 /D "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Install\Thunderbird /ms /ira\" /f Exit

Hi, my unattended settings will work but the start.cmd does not. It is in the $OEM$ folder, the OEM folder is in the root of the CD.

And does it matter where the last part to that is? Finally, forgive me if this is a dumb question but; do I need a program called msiexec? thanks

by setup file do you mean my batch file, $OEM$ file, or the winnt.sif and does it matter I am using batch instead of GUI RunOnce?
