numenu.bmp Can the menu button be hidden or forced to the back? It switches from the NU2MENU.bmp to my custom billboard (all still while BartPe is driving), but leaves the menu button and thus the ability for an r-tard user to go and select another O/s install for the first 5 min.

I use runonceex and my installs resume (I just increment the autologon for every reboot). I know there once was criteria like putting an (!) before your entry in the RUN key to get it to execute upon restart, dont know if that went by the wayside because its never worked for me. The runonceex deletes lines as executed and will run any remaining lines upon restart. dont know if GUIrunonce will perform similarly?

Is the runonceex not sufficient, I abuse that cmd, have like 25 apps that load from mine including firefox and flash10? not exactly "a disk after install" but queued up nonetheless.

On boot there is a hotkey to boot to your bios. Its Different depending on model/BIOS (usually an F-key). - like Iceman replied while I was replying B) You will find settings in there. *Also it may be tied to the modem, as the AMR and modem share an IRQ in a lot of OEM configs, which has potential for conflicts. If thats the case you get to: update your BIOS, still no luck change the IRQ for one device (if one of them is PCI, removing it from the MotherBoard would also suffice) dont rule out a bad sound card.

the following autoit script installs winzipse from c:\winzipse\wzipse31.exe. At least it gets you to the point where it tells you that in the full version you dont get this window. I suppose you will have to add one more send for whatever button you want when it executes. run ("c:\winzipse\wzipse31.exe") winwaitactive ("WinZip Self-Extractor 3.1 Setup") send ("s") winwaitactive ("WinZip Self-Extractor Setup") send ("{enter}") winwaitactive ("License Agreement and Warranty Disclaimer") send ("{tab}") sleep ("2") send ("{enter}") WinWaitActive ("WinZip Self-Extractor") send ("{enter}") winwaitactive ("WinZip Self-Extractor Setup") send ("{enter}")

If they are of similar shape and size you can just rename your files to match the current defaults and replace them in the source. Needing no further modifications. wallpaper = c:\windows\web\wallpaper sound scheme= c:\windows\media

bump, anyone?

autoit's forums and intro doc will answer all of that. decent discussion on simply installing a simple app. http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/lofivers...php?t64524.html how to compile portion of the intro documentation http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/intro/compiler.htm

can you post the log? (setupact.txt) it touches a lot of places to just start stabbing.

I have lines in my runonceex that call a text document with arguments for diskpart (I assign Z as D is used for my data partition as well). There are probably easier ways, but this way I know exactly when it happens and can easily adjust. REG ADD %REGKEY%\022 /VE /D "changing drive letter" /f REG ADD %REGKEY%\022 /V 22 /D "diskpart /s %path%\chgdrvltr.txt" /f [contents of chgdrvltr.txt] select volume 0 assign letter=z noerr exit

I couldnt tell you when during the install they get created or why they are needed much beyond the stock 16 bit support answer that seems to be frustrating you. Both of mine drop in blank and msconfig lets you uncheck processing those items on startup, so mine sit never being accessed.

computer browser service? netbios over TCPIP under your WINS tab? i know those 2 are players as well.

I may not be understanding completely, but the system.ini is created during install. My XP load creates a blank one because no 16-bit support is needed.

nice, thanks for entertaining my bit off the topic question.

All true, I have an app that uses 1.1, but I opted for the easiest solution and installed 1.1 through cmdlines.cmd @T-13 and the app through the runonceex. Is there a reason for the preference or rather are there any added benefits to T-13 installs?

I still vote for a router. If you set one to automatic and plug into the switch which is plugged into the router does it acquire an address and connect? If so, set the other computer up with the same subnet and incrementing the IP by 1. ( gateway and DNS are not going to matter because your cable router is only allowing your single public IP to get out). If your switch is managed and you like reading you can build a table to facilitate multiple systems getting out. Or i suppose the whole "allow another computer to connect through this computer", but that action blows something fierce. Can you ping eachother with the assigned IPs without the router in play, maybe its the switch?

I add a /forcerestart to the 3.5 install and plus the autologon by 1. The runonceex just resumes from where it left off.

right click the NIC --> properties click on TCP/IP --> properties set all your stuff manually. Your cable router is probably smart enough to not hand out a second address without inserting money, so if your switch is not managed you may want to consider a cheap router to do all the Private NAT automatically for you. If they were both automatic and the cable router was playing ball, they would have received the same subnet and an IP within the scope (and your commands may have had an affect)

no percentage signs around the ip. I was trying to indicate that my entries were wildcards not static, sorry.

Icons running off the screen and folders opening 70% of the screen regardless of setting. both sound like resolution issues. You dont by chance dock and undock this computer or have multiple profiles established for another reason?

when you try and browse to a system share on the destination do you get prompted for a login? If so, can you login with an administrator account local to the destination? \\%destinationIP%\c$ or \\%destinationIP%\admin$ (I would use IP to eliminate name resolution) seeing how it reacts to known available shares might yield some informational errors.

I believe /f after each command is a force.

Only time Ive seen anything close is acrobats "send by email for review" uninstall adobe and see if it goes away?

I use diskpart called from a batch (I use NU2MENU to call the batch based on user selection) [contents of batch] diskpart.exe /s 2parts.txt {contents of 2parts.txt} ------------------------------------------- select disk 0 clean create partition primary size=15360 noerr assign letter=c noerr create partition primary noerr assign letter=d noerr exit ------------------------------------------------- format c: /fs:ntfs /v:APPS /q /y format d: /fs:ntfs /v:DATA /q /y creates 2 partitions gives C: 15GB and the rest to the D: then a quick NTFS format and names them. Then of course you would want to kick off winnt32

You can always throw some lines into a batch file and run it for a test. I have found that some third party software place themselves back into the RUN key upon update, so I would certainly recommend patching everything prior. You can establish your location with SET REG, but I think the cmd is more simply understood with full paths.
