i've worked out the silent install with the big Winamp 5.04 MSI thread i'm gonna try the capital S for ABC 2.6.8 would still need Divx 5.2 though gonna try with a capital S for this one too and i am also using those lines to delete the shortcuts created on the desktop: DEL "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\*.lnk" DEL "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\Benoit\Desktop\*.lnk" The thing is, i think VMWare creates a somewhat different account on the virtual OS. It creates it like: <Virtual Account created>.<Current REAL Account> for example, my real account right now is "Ben" and i want my unattended XP CD to create an account named "Benoit" which produces in VMWare an account "Benoit.Ben" therefore the second line doesnt quite work. But will it work okay when i use the real CD on a real HD ?
