Aliitle forum search and got these.

@MtK Is that 1st edition of windows 98 that you have? I got the location from windows 98 2nd edition. Look for regsvr in your system directory. It's name may be regsvr instead of regsvr32?

No %systemdrive% variable in 98? %systemroot%, should be changed to %windir% %windir%, this is the full path variable to windows directory. %windir%\system\regsvr32 This is the full path to regsvr32.

Notice the backslash after the -p ?

@verbal C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache\sfc_os.dll It is there.

Try this switch for Adobe Reader -p\"-s /v\"/qn\"\""

You can use copy and paste to get your files off cd and onto your harddrive. If your files are copied to C:\XPCD and your service pack is in C:\. Then you run the command "C:\WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe /x", then select C:\SP2 folder in the popup window. Then run command "C:\SP2\i386\Update\Update.exe -s:C:\XPCD". SlipStreaming should commence! Edited missing command.

@busb Congrats @prathapml Wisdom is good. You have done well here.

Setupmgr has changed a little. But it used to create winnt.txt for use on a floppy drive. So MsDosInitiated = 0 is used for calling winnt.exe directly from the floppy or via other manual means. Then, if you if you decided to make a cd version, you would rename winnt.txt to winnt.sif, and ensure that MsDosInitiated = 1, so the gui setup would take command. Unattended.txt is for network use. It has no greater powers, other than those needed for network usage. Sysprep, well, you should try it atleast once. Basicly you install windows onto the harddrive, do whatever customizing that you want, then run sysprep which strips the identity and traces from the os and then seals it. So you can deliver to a customer as is, or ghost to a cd. Only takes about 5 or so minutes to copy from cd, then minisetup runs, installing drivers and such. Goes through obee process, asking for account names etc. So in about 15 minutes, you have windows installed. Hope this helps your questions?

start /wait setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb Did you try start /wait ?

REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Add TweakUI to Control Panel" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\AddTweakUItoControlPanel.vbs" /fThis is one that i have used and works fine. You will need to increase your shutdown time. Advise to 60 seconds. You will need to logon to get your theme. Q. Why is the script in I386 folder, unless it maybe a network install? Q. Will that script wait for you to run them programs?

1x DVD = ~40xCD. DVD are so much faster. You can clean out unneccessary folders. Check the unattended cd guide for space saving tips here.

It is better to install a SP2 intregrated cd than a upgrade install of SP2. It is a clean install with less problems. It does not take up too much more room intregrating the service pack as most files are replaced when slipstreamed.

You could use the xcopy command, in one of your batch files used.

Try in your command script cd %OFFICECD% start /wait setuppro.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.mst /qb-

Using more that one variable on the same commandline may be the problem. Are you using something like? Set officecd = d: prior to using the variable. You could use a batch to set working dir to your setup files, that would save the usage of variables being used in your command.

What was the command given, when you made the mst file? A msi file needs to be the setup file to be used with the mst file.

I would use Bi0haZarD's method. Too easy. Shutdown -L .......

Go into folder options and select show hidden folders.

You should be able to go to update site and select custom .... on the page. And you should be able to hand pick what updates you want. Or take note of the the names like kb123456. Then use search and you will find the page to download them. Unsure at the moment whether it is possible to slipstream hotfixes into the install yet. If not, you can use the qn switch.

But frogs are nice

Here is a sample runonceex in batch and in autoit style. This should give you some idea's for your project. Once you get the syntax right, it's downhill from there on.

I do not know what autoit file you have but... What I've been trying tonight is to make a .bat file that runs an installer .exe and then runs a AutoIt script (.exe) using start /wait. I seem to always be getting an error stating that my .bad can not be found though. You should be running the autoit file from registry key inserted from runonceex? That autoit file should execute the installer?

$winnt$.inf is normal in sys32 directory. You should have a this? Now runonceex should be in the same folder as cmdlines.txt. %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Sysprep\i386\$OEM$ folder. So, it should be found as it is in the same directory? Your supplied file has this [GuiRunOnce] "%systemdrive%\install\RunOnceEx.cmd"You do not need guirunonce to run runonceex? And your cleanup.cmd should be in the same directory as well? This should be run from rununceex as the last entry. Make sense?

If you have a runonceex.cmd, you should make a file called cmdlines.txt under $OEM$ folder. Enter your runonceex.cmd entry into it. Like below. [COMMANDS] "RunOnceEx.cmd" Insert your cleanup.cmd at the end of the runonce.cmd.
