im trying to add applications i have made my start.cmd and on a spare pc i have tested it and the applications i made using InstallRite on the spare pc i create on c the folder INSTALL and inside it PROGRAMMES i then add start.cmd inside this folder click on it and it installs them all am i putting start.cmd in the wrong place when i make the full install i have added to my WINNT.sif the following [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\INSTALL\start.cmd please help me please dont just point me to this http://unattended.msfn.org/ as ive read and reread it a million times

I was opening them in note pad but it seems to take over

have you installed your chipsets gart driver?

hi if you have NFODIZ installed as im sure many do be aware it likes to change the file name of the Winnt.sif to Winnt.sif.txt this took me some time to spot whilst getting frustrated at nothing happening

by the way the image im using was made with latest nlite and as such works great but no drivers etc are getting installed is it because i used the nlite wizard to put the key and other bits in

hi im having problems in that the winnt.sif seems to be being ignored should i delete those 2 text files is this what im doing wrong thanks
