Thanks. Still get the error...'A Runtime Error has occured. Do you wish to Debug? Line 1 Error: Invalid character ****...If I press no the installer hta disappears, but all the apps AFTER the office continue to install...I also have the mshta process hung...
I couldn't even launch the wpi.hta with these files replaced...gave me a ton of errors... line 26, char 2, 'fso' undefined line 101, char 5, 'optionsFile' undefined line 134, char 2, 'optionsFile' undefined etc etc
I do not think there is a solution yet...My error only occurs when installing / integrating the Updates...Are you doing the same? Are you placing the new hotfixes in the 'Updates' folder and letting Office install them automatically? See if it works if you rename the 'Updates' folder to 'Temp' and then install office...
Just thought I'd give you guys an update. I found out where the "Windows is loading files..." is stored in the bootmgr file. Only problem is that when I try to change it I get this error: "The file is possibly corrupt. The file header checksum does not match the computed checksum." So it seems that this file is uneditable unless I can figure out where the checksum is stored and how to compute a new one with my own message. However, the area where the loading message is stored seems to be part of an xml file, so I'm thinking there may be a way to compile your own bootmgr with a custom xml file. Basically I've only ran into more brick walls, but I'll still hack around with it in my spare time (if there is such a thing). Edit: Finally hit 2^8 posts lol. I've run into this before. You need something called ModifyPE http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/64/ Let me know if you get it working! Thanks for the research by the way!
I mean, Mac OS does not have a media center, as does Vista and/or XP Media Center. Ahh I see. I thought you meant that If you installed Vista on a Mac, the Media Center wouldn't work...Apple has their MediaCenter equivalent called 'Front Row' I believe...
It didn't work when you ran it off the desktop? i.e. You have the DVD in the drive, ran RunOnceEx from the desktop. Then logged and logged out (or rebooted and logged in) and nothing happend? Hmm...
Just leave it as it is. You don't need any 'EXIT' anywhere. The window will automatically close and exit once it executes everything under [COMMANDS]. By having EXIT in batch.cmd, it forced the command window to close BEFORE executing RunOnceEx.cmd
Does the RunOnceEx window even come up @ all? Can I see a screenshot of what is inside the $OEM$ folder? At the VERY LEAST, you should have the RunOnceEx window coming up saying "Configuring Your System"...If that doesn't even come up then there is a problem in you CMDLINES.txt file (You wrote commands.txt in your post but I hope you meant cmdlines.txt )
