You can find enough info in the Unattended CD Guide on this site to do a runonceex setup. If you are using the guirunonce method. It is not so painful to convert to runonceex method. I would advise it, since you are doing a dvd. You just need cmdlines.txt to run your batch file, witch inserts entries into the registry, so the registry will execute your software installs at the end of setup. One of the 1st entries can be something like your start.cmd, with will remove the wallpapers etc. that you do not want on the hardrive. Then software will be installed from the dvd.

Where is the msi installer that you are using the transform file on?

Office Shrinker is very much language related. If your language is not supported, then you will need to notify the creator for help.

In the picture: Record CD from CD image Use that!

Only SP2 is needed. It has all the fixes that SP1 has.

You just need to make a batch.inf and put it in your i386 folder. support tools are on the disk for this operation.

Should work, as Stinger12348 method states.

Wow, you certainly have some time to type. This should pretty up things.

Nlite make the iso bootable. So just select burn image to disk in nero

I have not done a 2nd runonceex. I think you have it right.

You have to select something like Burn ISO in EZ CD Creator. Do not add it as a file to a compilation. E.g. Selection like: Burn data cd, burn audio cd, burn mp3 cd or burn iso.

You would have Installshield setups. So you are going to use Installshield exe switches. Unless you can find a noreboot switch. Then you may have to put the driver update into runonce for the following reboot.

Perhaps like this REG ADD %KEY%\035 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Programvare\PhotoshopCS\Photoshop\setup.exe -S -f1 %CDROM%\Programvare\PhotoshopCS\Photoshop\setup.iss -f2 %SystemRoot%\Install\Photoshop.log" /f

Easy CD Creator should be fine at burning the iso.

CDIMAGE.EXE -lWXPCCP_EN -h -n -bBOOT.BIN -o -m C:\XPCD C:\WXPCCP_EN.ISOI would just use this. Change BOOT.BIN to suit your boot file.

Active Desktop Wallpaper Changer is pure commandline. If you do not care about commandline, you could use the wallpaper powertoy. Just need bgswitch.exe and bgswitch.dll in sys dir, then regsvr32 bgswitch.dll. BGSwitch.rar

@esp If you want to speed it. Then you could use the Gosh method which is a sticky in this forum. Take a look here.

I have an Audigy2. This CTZAPXX.exe that you mention, is the creative driver update utility. If you run it, it searches the internet for driver updates. What you want is the driver itself? You may need to download the latest drivers from creative. AUD_EAX4DRV_031031.exe or similar, which may depend on your pc language.

You may need to get the full-kb833858 from here.

Look at step 4 here as an example of updating with a msp file that is extracted from the hotfix exe.

MCT posted this not so long ago here.

Sorry. did not realize the 2 dot reference was intended for what you quoted. Thought that you may have been doing a shorthand skip.

You will not find default user profile in all users profile dir? Instead you may have to use the long way instead. Set DefaultUser = "%Systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\Default User"

That's what i do. Copy to HDD is not really required. Is good to copy stuff to sys dir and docs and settings etc.

Yes you can. Have your runonceex entries point to the dvd instead. cmdow @ /HID @ECHO OFF IF EXIST D:\WIN51 set CDROM=D: IF EXIST E:\WIN51 set CDROM=E: IF EXIST F:\WIN51 set CDROM=F: IF EXIST G:\WIN51 set CDROM=G: IF EXIST H:\WIN51 set CDROM=H: IF EXIST I:\WIN51 set CDROM=I: IF EXIST J:\WIN51 set CDROM=J: SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Install Applications" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Preparing Installation..." /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\prepare.cmd" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /VE /D "Another program here" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\program.exe" /f edited code mistake
