Ahh...i c. I didn't know youcould have a file delete itself....nice. think my disk may well be finished..... *crossed fingers...* Once again...thanks for your time alanoll, no doubt you'll be seeing more of me around here....

I was thinking that only the contents of the folders inside the $OEM$ folder would be copied..if not, then yep i would be simply replacing the problem with another.. What would be the correct method of calling a file located inside the $OEM$ folder, as if it NOT copied it will need to be called from it's location on the cd..?

Alanoll.....you is the man.. All working nicely now.....thanx for your help. To delete the cmd file after install would I write another batch file containng just a command to delete start.cmd, calling this new batch file from the last line of start.cmd, ie after the deletion of root install folder? If i place this new batch file into $OEM$ will it not be copied onto C?

Thank you Alanoll...I've made the changes as you recommend. Will run 1 last test now, then i'm off to bed. Many thanks for your time. Will report back tommorow and let you know how it went.

I've just tested the above config - at T-10 the registry editor pops up. I must be calling the REGEDIT /S incorrectly somehow?

Firstly..wow, yep my drivers are still not being deleted and my pc is not shuttin down. Secondly..I do have a habit of always typing how i would say something. Will refrain from it in future on here. After which 2 - could you state a little more clearly please So should my cmdlines file read: [COMMANDS] "REGEDIT /S" ".\registry.reg" or should i write another small batch file, call that from the cmdlines file and have that call the registry file? Is this refering to my cmdlines file? I've currently put it in the $OEM$ folder, is this ok?

@ homiebrah - I've added a cmdlines.txt file to the oem folder and moved my reg file there as well. This is how i've setup my cmdlines file: [COMMANDS] "registry.reg" Is this right? @ Think my oempnppath is long coz i got 3 drivers loading, IDE, RAID & SATA? Am testin this setup now on VMWare...post back soon.... Edit: Grammatically tidied as requsted...

Er..not sure. I'm still kinda a n00b to this, where am i lookin, in the drivers folder? Tell me where to look and i'll let ya know what i've got. (My dvd was partially setup for me) Thanx Edit: Grammatically tidied as requsted...

Lo peeps...need a spot of advice again. I Hve got my unattended dvd workin ok, except the reg file (registry.reg) doesn't import during install, "install" folders are not deleted after setup, also i never see the "Windows XP will now restart in 5 seconds" window. Could one of the updates be causing a re-hoot automatically? Could someone please ave a look at my files and see if there's something i've missed out on? Many thanx in advance if you can.

@ Blinkdt - Nice 1 geez, found sum well usefull tweaks in ya phile..

oops.... accidentaly posted improper post....

Well...i tried it, but didn't work. Gonna put it down to an incorrectly made image, i've since started using another one and is all workin nice. jus gotta sort out a few more small details now.....no doubt i'll b calling for help again soon. Many thanx for ya time.

Not sure, the disk is one that somebody else started and i'm tweaking. will do - report back soon with result Think i may have aquired another image which boots clean so may simply add all me appz to that 1, still wanna solve this tho as will b good to find out what ir is. Pro.

I get the command prompt ok, except when i use the tasklist command i get: ERROR: Critical Error. Could this b because i'm using VMWare? I ave got a copy of Virtual PC around ere somewhere, might it work better on that?
