Like the format the RunOnceEx has. eg REG ADD %KEY%\055 /VE /D "TweakUI Powertoy" /f REG ADD %KEY%\055 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\PowerToys\TweakUi.msi /qb" /f To the config.js format

Question: Is there a convertor out there that will convert to the config format from RunOnceEx? I really don't want to do it by hand.

Before I download, can someone explain what this is? Thanks

Nope, still haven't figured it out.

Ok, Thanks for your help.

It is being called from cmdlines.txt

After the windows installation is done, there is just a blank blue screen after it finishes loading. I have to restart, and then the RunOnceEx starts. Anyone know why this happens? Thanks

I have a problem. For some reason, it opens notepad instead of IE for the readme. What do I do?

sorry if this has been posted before, but when i try it, it says shrink is already complete when i never ran this before. (Fresh install of xp, no office2003 installed yet)

It works after installation. (with DEP disabled and I don't know if it works with DEP on) I think its the data execution prevention that is making it crash. I've been having lots of problems with it until I disabled it. (I disabled it after all install was finished). For the config part, i want the person to make their own username/pass etc. ( no problems here ) thx for your help

Ok... for all my tests in vmware, it never crashed. But when I install it on my real computer, after it asks for the user stuff and starts creating it, it crashes. (this program has encountered an error. would you like to send report to microsoft or something like that) Sorry, i can't get the log file since this only happens for my real computer... when it is installing... btw... my comp is a amd64 trying to install 32-bit windows if that makes a differnce

anyone know how to get the variables working?

Update: I still don't have this working but after the install, if i delete this registry entry [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\32418F9EE1126B64A90E8365B85CFCF6] i can install it without the error...

I figured it out... it was a thing in the registry i had to delete and then it worked manually... but now i have to figure out how it got into the registry. btw, it was an incomplete msi installation thingy entry.

The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation is the error i get when i try to install alcohol 120% manually after the silent installation failed. (i set no such policy ) During the installation, i get no error messages. Before i used WIHU to make users, this didn't happen and it installed smoothly though it might of worked before i switched to WIHU to make users, I don't remember. Also, i have problems with variables in RunOnceEx. I've tried %username%, %userprofile%, and %appdata% and they all dont work (it just ignores them). So far, only %systemdrive% works. Thanks for any help and i hope i put this in the right forum

arg... it copies it to C:\ when i tell it to copy to %appdata%\mozilla (im pretty sure it does... but im sure it did not copy to the right location) ... this makes no sense to me :S

ok, i still have a problem. all my programs install fine except alcohol 120%. it says the system administrator has set policies to disable this installation (it was something like that) i had no problems when i was using the .cmd to make pre-named users. thanks

sorry if this is obvious, but does enabling this enable the thing in which if you go on another computer and you put in your computer's IP in IE, you can control it? or is it just the thing where you get the program "remote desktop connection" and type in the ip? hehe, hope i made sense thanks

one more thing... if i don't create the "Administrator" account that is called administrator in wihu, will windows create it anyways with the settings in winnt.sif?

ok, thanks for your help. time for me to test it!

LOL...funny... haha, thats funny

If i call it from runonceex, would all the applications install under the new user? or would i have to do a restart first? edit: oh and is there a command that MAKES you restart for sure? so i can use the norestartchange and that command...

oh, i use runonceex for programs but i want to use wihu to make my users since i don't want a pre-named username and i want the person to make their own user. also i want the runonceex to install all the programs for that user...

I run it from a cmd file which is called from cmdlines. I am also Windows XP... Hmm... thats strange, i don't get the error when i run it "normally" but i get the error when i call it from the cmd file which is called by cmdlines... so i have to remake iso and test it again in vmware to log it... ill be about an hour.. hehe
