Of cuourse you can use quotes in bat file....just add the quotes around the file name...not the full path.. i.e. start c:\DiskKeeper\"dk8 setup.exe" is the right..while start "c:\DiskKeeper\dk8 setup.exe" isn't

i finally get the answer from google "When setup.exe is executed in the silent mode from the CD, the default path for dumping the log files is the CD (read-only media). This causes the install shield to exit out without updating any devices. Workaround for this issue is to use a command-line flag option: setup -s -f2 <path name on c:> to specify a specific path for the log files." it's caused by the log file.....thx all the same

thx for your advice...i know that full path.. i just give a short exmple it has no log file created since i run the setup file from CDROM but when run on harddisk...everything goes fine.maybe it is caused by a read-only problem.. i have the same prob with all the installer shield program i have tried so far... others just work perfectly except for the installer shield packed up program any suggestion?

i.e. when i used setup.exe -s -f1"setup.iss" to install some applications(i.e photoshop cs/ATI catalyst/windvd 6) packed up with installer shield from CD...the installation didn't run..while i installed them from harddisk,they worked perfectly.. why is that? how to fix that so that i can install all my applications from CD... thx for any suggestion

Does anyone know about that? i have made an AIO CD...and now i want to use different cmdlines.txt to install programs @T12 based on the choice of boot sector .. is there a approach to achieve that? any suggestions will be aprreciated!

according to the topic...thx

i extracted the main bitmap from the ntoskrnl.exe,but got a black one.. who can offer me a copy of xp pro one...just the main bitmap,i want it for some purpose... thx..

dont extract it...just use the original compressed file,then use /Q:A /R:N and it works perfectly

here's my log .... any problem?

NO..i just tested it on a installed XP pro with sp2 OS..Does it matter?

is there a tool for creating network connection from comand-prompt? i wanna do a automatic setup of dial-up network thanks

it still remains the same

thx...i get to try it

i think i have found the answer @ http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;en-us;311272 thx all the same

how to backup current taskbar state including quick launch and minimized language bar,so i can recover it during the next OS installation?

thx for your reply. what i want to restate is i just want to temporarily disable one or two of them from the OS,but not removing them.So when i want to reuse them, i can easily enable them from the "Network Connections" by just one click. any way to implement that?

hey.. i want to know if there is a approach to disable a device such as network adapter,display adapter according to its infID,PCI bus ID or something i do it because i have multiply network adapters installed on my pc, and some are not used temporarily. i want to disable them to get rid of the annoying icons shown all the time in the system tray. Any constructive suggestions will be highly appreciated
