When PC reboots after textsetup mode. Do not press any key to boot from CD again, else you will not boot from harddrive. Not sure, but you may be doing the loop with the CD boot, by pressing a key each time it boots? @benners Nice boot screen.

Repartition = Yes: Deletes all partitions on the first drive and reformats the drive with NTFS. Just so you know.

Correct

Use Autopartition = 1 if you want to install windows on the first partition without an windows installation already on it. Else set it at 0. If you want windows on the first drive, use repartition = Yes. Drive will be refomated and windows will install. Else set it at No. I prefer getting the prompt for partitioning myself. You may lose the ability for repairing etc.

@benjdr Nice pickup with the comma, but it is in the comments, not the code. @Professor Frink Thanks for the scripts.

You should be able to edit the ini file to reflect where the files are? This menu's are primarily designed for cdrom use. If you wish, using variables like %systemroot% in location should work.

On completion of setup. I can only get classic theme. If I go into display properties and enable a theme. No problems, all themes work. I am using RaveRod's uxtheme.dll and sfc_os.dll. I have not been switching off sfc during install. Would this be having an effect on starting initial theme? Setup err log is reporting those 2 files, so maybe it is blocking the initial theme? Would sfc do this?

Here is my scripts for full-unattended. Working good for me. Contains: Runonceex Dotnet Acrobat 6.01 Autoit 3.0102 Avast antivirus 4.1 Free dowload manager v1.0 Fraunhofer MP3 pro v1.263 HideOE v1.1 Maxthon Combo v1.0.220 Scite4Autoit3 v1.61 Serials2k v7.1 Sunjava v1.4.2 Talking messenger v3.1 WinRAR v3.3 Might be helpful for anyone. Only 19kb. B) Scripts.zip

@MCT Just install Autoit v3.102 into VPC. It has complie, edit and run script in context. Maybe you have an earlier version.

BTW, My unattended is fully Autoit driven.

Oh, I also use Scite modified for Autoit. That must add context in for me. Did not notice that fact. Can get Scite for Autoit from Autoit forum, if you like. It is fabulous.

You can get the zip or installer. The zip would not have context execute? I,ve only used the installer.

Cool, If you add a zip version of Autoit3, then this would be helpful. Thanks

I think it may be a Virtual PC hiccup? If i created xxx.bat. then enter del xxx.bat, then run it in virtual pc. it remains? Do the same in real environment. It self deletes. Wierd. May have to trust that it will work when I use it for real installation.

@Mazin Yes, I used Del this.bat. But for some reason, would not delete itself. Maybe the startup folder is locked or something during entering desktop. Your sleep idea may delay the action to a better time to delete itself. Maybe considering of deleting entry in registry of it existence may be an idea also ?, will test it. Thanks

@lpl Do you mean by some regtweak or an inf edit in the link of your post? Link is alittle unclear to me.

@mazin Yes, played with that idea. It removed the shortcuts . Had to use attrib to remove read only on the bat, so it could delete itself. But i could not get it is self-delete? Unsure whether I tried sleep with it though? Maybe, you have come up with an answer. Will try sleep before shortcut removal and self-delete. Thanks

Regtweak may get overwritten at first desktop startup, depending on what creates them. Have tried runonce, with following reboot, with no success, so far. Starting to run out of ideas.

@ diesel_98a Yes, that will remove those shortcuts, but the ones that I have listed, are not created until you enter desktop for the first time. I am using scripted executables, the shutdown command is instant. I need a separate process to remove at first show of desktop. Or maybe an inf or regtweak method to disable the creation of them. Thanks anyway.

Does anyone know of a method of removing shortcuts, from start menu -> programs without the use of runonceex commands? I would like IE, OE and Remote Assistance shortcuts removed, without runonceex entering into explorer startup.

Sorry, think I misread. Ignore my last post. Opps.

You have variable with nothing in it. You need cmds to locate what %KEY% equals. E.G. CD letter = %KEY% Like: 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: in runoncecmd.

usbehci.sys is on the windows cd. Put windows cd in drive and at a command prompt, type, expand -r "X:\I386\usbehci.sy_" "C:\windows\system32\usbehci.sys" X = cdrom letter C = your system harddrive. That should do it.

No probs with my setup. Maybe something in your regtweaks is causing this effect?

I had similar problem during testing yesterday. I uesd CDImageGUI to make iso. Keeped getting file could not find file... Then I used UltraISO, everything turned out good. Strange as I have used CDImageGUI lots with no prob before. Maybe use another app to make your ISO with?
