I can't seem to figure this one out. My issue is simply this: I created a Windows 2000 unattended install using the guidelines from this forum. Worked like a charm. Now I am building an XP Pro SP2 unattended install. I am using install.cmd to copy my I386 folder, and insert my install.reg file into the registry. This all works fine, but at the end of my batch file I have a call to shutdown.exe that I can't seem to get to run. I have other calls to this file in the install.reg that work fine. My install.cmd file is below. Any help is greatly appreciated. I've been searching the forum for a while and can't really seem to find this mentioned anywhere. @ECHO OFF IF EXIST C:\hdd.txt set HDD=C: IF EXIST D:\cd.txt set CDROM=D: IF EXIST E:\cd.txt set CDROM=E: IF EXIST F:\cd.txt set CDROM=F: IF EXIST G:\cd.txt set CDROM=G: IF EXIST H:\cd.txt set CDROM=H: IF EXIST I:\cd.txt set CDROM=I: IF EXIST J:\cd.txt set CDROM=J: IF EXIST K:\cd.txt set CDROM=K: IF EXIST L:\cd.txt set CDROM=L: IF EXIST M:\cd.txt set CDROM=M: IF EXIST N:\cd.txt set CDROM=N: IF EXIST O:\cd.txt set CDROM=O: IF EXIST P:\cd.txt set CDROM=P: IF EXIST Q:\cd.txt set CDROM=Q: IF EXIST R:\cd.txt set CDROM=R: IF EXIST S:\cd.txt set CDROM=S: IF EXIST T:\cd.txt set CDROM=T: IF EXIST U:\cd.txt set CDROM=U: IF EXIST V:\cd.txt set CDROM=V: IF EXIST W:\cd.txt set CDROM=W: IF EXIST X:\cd.txt set CDROM=X: IF EXIST Y:\cd.txt set CDROM=Y: IF EXIST Z:\cd.txt set CDROM=Z: REGEDIT /s %HDD%\Install.reg >>%HDD%\install.log ECHO "Preparing system for program installations . . ."
