Any one know the switches to install CorelDraw 8.0 unattended? I search the whole forum and it seems no one mention at all.

Hey mrpitman27, basically when you expand your command out, it became start /wait C:\Program Files\install\winzip\winzip32.exe /noqp /autoinstall if your %SYSTEMDRIVE% is C: for example you realise that start /wait will think C:\Program is the file, and the rest of the commands Files\install\winzip\winzip32.exe /noqp /autoinstall as switches However, the same thing is if you try to enclose them in " like start /wait "C:\Program Files\install\winzip\winzip32.exe" /noqp /autoinstall too bad it fails too, the only way i can get past is using start /wait C:\Progra~1\install\winzip\winzip32.exe /noqp /autoinstall hope this help you!

Hey zippy! thanks a lot man, you r the one! Problem solved le!

haha it's ok dude' i always like to pour out my trouble to any of my friend who happen to be my victim' but it sure feel good to have some one to share with u! hehz' anyway i will try to find some other way to do it, cuz i can't rename it since some computer will have background while some dun have. Reasons is cause for the low-end, i be removing it, for the high-end, i will placing it. I hope someone can give me a solution! Regarding RaveRod, i already try it le... i doesn't work, i think is the registry key that got problem, not the timing.

Basically what I does is using adding the registry keys into RunOnceEx, then calling "rundll32 ruieonce.dll,RunOnceEx" <-- something like that, can't remember to execute the RunOnceEx during T-13 to have a slick look instead of a command prompt look. this mean at T-13, the registry keys have been added using RunOnceEx. But it still didn't work... Sighz... and the VisualEffectsFx which i post on another thread also aren't working... Also Willpantin, i dun wish to rename the file, i understand doing this will work, but then i want users to be able to find the file easily in the future. I mean noone will know hills.bmp is actually bliss.bmp which they are already so customized to... but thanks for your solution too!

From wat i heard, if you are installing from CD, the $oem$ must be in parallel to i386 instead of inside i386 $oem$ i386 instead of i386\$oem$ http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/oemfolders.htm

hey vann, i try your solution but it also din work' i try to add it at T-13 but it din work either'

I try the settings but only a few works, the others still din work... wow, i din know this problem can be so big! strange how come others din have such a problem..

However upon adding the entrys, only the main portion work which is as expected. The 16 components still won't get updated. I try to change manually at the GUI and check the registry and realise that no matter how i change the GUI, the registry settings won't changes! So this mean even if I modify the aboves registry subkey, it will not affect my settings at all! How come? Please help! Thanks!

but i dun wish to remove in case user wish to place it back...

Hey guys, I try to remove the desktop wallpaper by running registry tweaks during the T-13 portion of windows unattended installation so that all accounts that log on the computer will not have a wallpaper. Below is the code i use to remove the wallpaper. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "Wallpaper"="" However when the computer boots, the wallpaper BLISS.BMP is still being loaded! How come?

I recently found an article that says the following registry can modify the Visual Effects Settings of a computer. True it does, but as wat the last part of the article mentioned, it does not apply the settings. Is there any way to do so? Thanks! http://www.winnetmag.com/Article/ArticleID/41554/41554.html

Hey i'm not sure if this is true for you, but i realise for my case i need to name the batch file under a 8.3 format like XXXXXXXX.XXX instead of long XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.XXX. If i name the long way, windows can't find the file.

nvm guys, problem solved!

Hey guys, I have a very weird problem. On a high-end computer, my unattended installation is successful. However on a low-end computer where the graphics card is only S3 Trio3D with 4MB and system memory of 128mb, everything will still goes as planned, but when windows boot up, instead of seeing the usual "Bliss" wallpaper with the icons, i see instead the same "Bliss" wallpaper with weird icons background. Here an attached image. Can anyone help me? I ask around and someone told me is because the system can't handle the load. But then if the computer are installed without unattended, they can load the icon correctly!

hey thanks zippy, your solution works! and it's 4, not 2. I guess westi misunderstood my problem but anyway thanks guys!

Hey guys, is there any registry tweaks i can use to hide the language bar? Utimately all i want is the EN icon at the taskbar. I make a search in the forum but there seems only tweaks to remove language bar which i do not want. Thanks!

I think i got it, in case anyone wish to know how to install Roxio Easy CD Creator 5.0 with cd-key, heres how: MSIEXEC /I ECDC5.msi ADDLOCAL=ALL TRANSFORMS=1033.mst /QN REBOOT=S REGEDIT /S AddCDKey.reg ** Contents of AddCDKey.reg ** Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{8851E12C-0EF9-11D4-A788-009027ABA5D0}] "ProductID"="XX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adaptec\Easy CD Creator\5.0] "cdkey"="XX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX" Thanks to Joe User 99 for his help too!

Do you mean Acrobat Reader 6.0? If so, it's everywhere in the forum, here a copy AdbeRdr60_enu_full.exe -p"-s /v\"/qn\""

i'm give it a try tomorrow when i get back to work, but isn't it strange that we can install application without using cd-key? sounds like some hacking method! hehz'

Hey guys, i need help here' There is a lot of switches out there for silent installation of Easy CD Creator 5.0. However, this switches such as setup.exe /s /v/qn are not good. Upon installation completed and reboot, all the shortcuts in the start menu will get messed up. I think it got to do with the reason that I did not key in the CD-Key. Is there any method i can set in the CD-KEY in silent installation? There are method out there for Roxio Easy CD Creator 6.0, but i check Roxio Easy CD Creator 5.0, there is no registry settings for their recommendation. Please help! Thanks!

i try a very different method, instead of modifying abcopy.ini, i does a recorded installation instead and install using the silent switch. [Recorded Installation] Adobe_Photoshop_7.0\Setup.exe -r Upon installation successful, go to %WINDIR% (or your windows directory) and collect the file Setup.iss and place it in your installation directory (Adobe_Photoshop_7.0\). Then install silently using [silent Installation] Adobe_Photoshop_7.0\Setup.exe -s

All right thanks dudes! I guess I better learn to be good by installing those 2 hotfixes in GUIRUNONCE! N thanks aaron for pointing out I din know that man!

However, i din use svcpack.inf to install the following components, i use install.cmd via cmdlines.txt at T-13 instead. Q817787 Q839643 so this means i din violate it's limitation. However if it is as described in your reply aaron, that it must be installed at guirunonce/runonceex, then how come no one had this problem as me although they install their hotfixes at T-13? Is it possible that they din even install these 2 updates? Please assist and thanks dude!

Oh ya, Winzip get copy over in the end cause if i allowed it to continue installing, after installation, i check out C:\program files\winzip and the folder is there. This mean that $oem$\$progs\winzip get copy over to %programfiles%\winzip only after T-13 mark which is sadly after cmdlines.txt has been processed. Although MSFN says that $progs get copied over during dos copying process, but however from wat i discovered, this isn't true, please correct me if i'm wrong.
