[TextBridge Pro 11]

Wel, i found the solution. i use the below .js-script file

function getWin(win, inc)
{
var cntr = 0;
while (!WshShell.AppActivate(win))
{
if (cntr==12) return true;
cntr++;
WScript.Sleep(inc);
}
return true;
}
var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
WshShell.Run("%systemdrive%\\install\\Applications\\TextBridgePro11\\setup.exe");
{
WScript.Sleep(10000);//time needed by installer to extract its files
getWin("TextBridge Pro 11.0 - InstallShield Wizard", 500);//name of setup screen and time to hold it
WshShell.SendKeys ("{ENTER}");//hitting Next button
WScript.Sleep(250);//Wait until Next
WshShell.SendKeys ("{UP}");//Accept License
WScript.Sleep(250);//Wait until Next
WshShell.SendKeys ("{ENTER}");//hitting Next button
WScript.Sleep(250);//Wait until Next
WshShell.SendKeys ("{TAB}");//Next Field
WScript.Sleep(250);//Wait until Next
WshShell.SendKeys ("{TAB}");//Next Field
WScript.Sleep(250);//Wait until Next
WshShell.SendKeys ("XXXXXXXXXXXXXX");//Enter Serial without the - in between, but just like: 12345678901234
WScript.Sleep(250);//Wait until Next
WshShell.SendKeys ("{ENTER}");//hitting Next button
WScript.Sleep(250);//Wait until Next
WshShell.SendKeys ("{ENTER}");//hitting Next button
WScript.Sleep(250);//Wait until Next
WshShell.SendKeys ("{ENTER}");//hitting Install button
WScript.Sleep(25000);//Wait until Next
WshShell.SendKeys ("{ESC}");//No registration
WScript.Sleep(250);//Wait until Next

Thanks MCT. I like that you added what i was missing

[NVidia silent install]

Already found the solution. i used the below .js-script.

function getWin(win, inc)
{
var cntr = 0;
while (!WshShell.AppActivate(win))
{
if (cntr==12) return true;
cntr++;
WScript.Sleep(inc);
}
return true;
}
var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
WshShell.Run("%systemdrive%\\Install\\Applications\\nvidia\\nvidia.exe -s");
{
WScript.Sleep(10000);//time needed by installer to extract its files
getWin("NVIDIA-stuurprogramma's voor het beeldscherm (Windows 2000/XP)", 500);//Change this according to your setup. just execute the setup until you reach the first screen.
WshShell.SendKeys ("{ENTER}");//hitting Install button
WScript.Sleep(35000);//time to Install
WshShell.SendKeys ("{ENTER}");//Hitting Finish button
}

I also used the below setup.iss

This is another thread of interest: Prevent multple reinstalls of winxp in a virtual PC

[HOWTO: Prevent continued reinstall of windows XP]

To prevent a continues reinstall of windows xp in a program like Virtual PC or VMWare, is quite easy. Just follow the below steps.

1. Install Windows XP in VPC or VMWare like you always do.

2. When ready, install the Virtual PC Add-ons (Don't know the name for VMWare, or even know it exists).

3. Create a Network connection or Virtual Folder in VPC or VMWare to yourown pc. Preferably to the directory containing the complete cd/dvd of your unattended install

4. Copy the file "RunOnceEx.cmd" to the install directory of your virtual Hard Drive.

5. In the "RunOnceEx.cmd" file, remove the line "cmdow @ /HID" to se when it ends.

6. Remove all the installed programs (except of course the windows patches).

7. Run "RunOnceEx.cmd".

8. Reboot

9. Enjoy your new testing enviroment.

By removing all the software, you can be sure that after step 7, that software will be installed again. If you find any errors in your testing-enviroment, you can see it quite easily now. You also ca add new programs and stuf to your "RunOnceEx.cmd" to install new software.

If all is to your likings, then you can copy everything back to your own Normal HardDrive and burn everything on a cd.
