@parathml I must still mention that I WAS NOT FLUSTERED. I hate those people getting mad at others because they ask question. I don't think this is a nice attitude and I even posted against some angry nerds on another thread. If I was that type of person I would not have taken 10 minutes of my time to go through my code and make an explanation! It's just a fact that people tend to ask question first and not look for the answer themselves. And I probably did that on other threads too, I am human. That's why I helped him out! Now this is the net guys, not some country club where we can see each other's face over a bucket of beer. So please do a little interpretation effort before tagging everyone with "flustered" or "cool down", I simply mentionned that it's type of question was the newbie type and that I can understand (note: understand, not agree) why some people get mad at them, not to insult him but just to show him that a simple look would have answered his question. I still took my time to help him out so bug off my case god **** it! Do you always smile and talk nice to people, with flowers raining from the sky and lovebirds singing your joy to live??? I guess so, your Bob, but I'm Gigabyte and for my part the answer is no, sometimes I'm direct, sometimes I'm serious, and I don't have to be SOOOOO nice to answer a question, my answer was the best explanation or resumé of the method I could provide, I even included my personnal autoit solution to it! This was totally free, the results of my efforts to learn and I added it to the method cause I want to help too. So next time instead of jumping of your chairs because you saw "newbie" (oooooo a bad word.... there is worst things going on in Irak and Haiti...), take the time to appreciate the effort I made, even if it was made with my "just-out-of-bed" smile. Cheers @jinquinto that's why I helped, and that's why under my pic it's written 2nd star LEARNER.

Why people cannot follow simple instructions? I'm starting to understand why people like big poppa pump are so mean with newbies. Damnit this threat is about a guide, Maybe it should be more evident on page 1 or something... else you ask question AFTER you tried all the steps...

This is my SAV9.au3 wich is compiled to SAV9.exe ; ; AutoIt Version: 3.0 ; Language: Français ; Platform: Win9x/NT ; Author: Thauzar ; ; Script Function: ; Clic OK (pèse sur enter) lorsque l'installation de SAV 9 demande pour LiveUpdate ; ; WinWaitActive("Installation de LiveUpdate") Send ("{ENTER}") WinWaitActive("Installation de LiveUpdate") Send ("{ENTER}") That's it, see, i had trouble of my own, I followed the method and found myself the steps to get around it, with a bit of help from mazin and others but hey, that's why there is a forum. You should maybe learn to try a bit more before asking for predigerated food to be gently spit in your mouth And your runonce ex code has two "" "" on the same line, where did you see such a code here to install any program? nowhere... check your syntax! glad I could help

@Mazin thanks for the info. Well, if only it could detect also malicious scripts SAV would be perfect, cause even on a network sometimes an experienced user can have trouble with malicious scripts. But the protected recycle bin is not a must have, neither is the office integration, as long as you don't have fun downloading tons of Word Macros on the web. @smc1979 I use this reg tweak to set live update to run, im not sure what everyline does but I found this here on msfn so if you browse a bit you can find it back Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ;Reglage des options de LiveUpdate [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\INTEL\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion\PatternManager\Schedule] "Created"=dword:1093971976 "DayOfWeek"=dword:00000004 "Enabled"=dword:00000001 "LastStart"=dword:00000000 "MinOfDay"=dword:00000540 "MissedEventEnabled"=dword:00000001 "RandomizeDayOfWeek"=dword:00000006 "RandomizeDayRange"=dword:0000012c "RandomizeMinOfDay"=dword:00000031 "RandomizeMonthEnabled"=dword:00000000 "RandomizeWeekEnabled"=dword:00000000 "RandomizeWeekEnd"=dword:00000006 "RandomizeWeekStart"=dword:00000004 "SkipEvent"=dword:00000000 "TimeWindowDaily"=dword:00000004 "TimeWindowMonthly"=dword:00000002 "TimeWindowWeekly"=dword:00000002 "type"=dword:00000002

for the skinned installation, I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Look for some thread speaking of WINNTBBU.dll if you want to skin the installation of windowsXP instead of the blue theme you see. You can download customized screens or do it yourself. For my part I use nLite's tweak to get a clean, Win2k style installation without any "cute" GUI

set tagfile=\WIN51 for %%i in (c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z) do if exist "%%i:%tagfile%" set CDDRIVE=%%i: this is cleaner code and does the same.

Thanks, gonna try it now!

Very good question indeed, cause it's the only thing not automatic... (once you automate liveupdates) I think this is because you can't update the SAV engine on a machine with SAV already installed, that's why we do the AIP thing on an empty machine, or before the installation during an unattended install. I we could simply update the files I guess they would've add this to liveupdate. For my part I am still wondering, except for the bigger installation files and some norton utilities addons, what's the difference between Norton and SAV. If norton was a smaller install I would have stayed with norton since im not an enterprise.

It sucks to always have to wait for the patches and updates to come to french. I mean, the engine should have 1 language and the GUI should be translated... thus everyone could have the 9.0.1.1100 version for his language while releasing only 1 .exe, no waiting for other languages users i'm not patient...

I started from that post... And if I look at Parahtmlwhatever who said to remove the 99 key... well I still wonder how is windows gonna know where to look for the next runoncex.

The 1st 999 line sets the path to the next file while the 2nd one runs it no? Please explain cause im using this method, starting at 999 decrementing for each file, it works but the runonceex windows do not close when they are done If I delete the last lines... then how is windows gonna know what it must run and from where? Should I put all the RunOnceEx in the same folder as cmdlines.txt?

Hi, I installed msn plus with the hereby mentionned runonceex command, I dbl checked, it's similar except I kept the original filename for messenger plus. The problem: 1 over 3 installations gets an error, and when getting in windows for the first time after runonceex is done and rebooted, well an error occurs, the cpu reboots again, and then when back to windows it says something about repairing msgplus installation... that sucks and is not constant. What is causing this error?

Glad to hear that, but the problem is still there... and I really can't figure out how come it does that. Could it only be caused by VM Ware not being a real life pc? EDIT: AHhA! I think I found a trail to follow, I noticed that it does that also between 1st and 2nd runonceex but it does not show cause the window is the same size how do we make the window close then? It should close before runing the next one no? Well the 3rd one does when it finishes his last command. So except from doing another autoit script, how can we make those windows close?

I noticed that I get an error between my 2nd and my 3rd runonceex. The 2nd windows does not disapear and seems stuck on the office installation, but the rest continues correctly, now how does this happen? I don't know, this may have something to do with the disck changer program I used so it asks the user to prompt the office cd in, it's a ok or cancel box, and when I press cancel, the runonceex window does not go end of my runonceex2 REG ADD %KEY%\045 /VE /D "Windows Media Player 10" /f REG ADD %KEY%\045 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\WMP10\MP10Setup.exe /q:A /c:\"setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N DisallowSystemRestore\"" /f REG ADD %KEY%\050 /VE /D "OfficeXP Professionnel SP3" /f REG ADD %KEY%\050 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\DskChg.cmd" /f REG ADD %KEY%\998 /V 01 /D "%SystemDrive%\Install\RunOnceExs\RunOnceEx3.cmd" /f REG ADD %KEY%\998 /V 02 /D "rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess" /f EXIT now dskchg.cmd cmdow @ /HID @echo off start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\DskChg.exe EXIT this is the only way I have to run autoit programs during runonceex, in both cases (ok or cancel), when dskchg.exe exits, its supposed to end the runonceex line. dskchg.exe (autoit script) ; ; AutoIt Version: 3.0 ; Language: Français ; Platform: Win9x/NT ; Author: Thauzar ; ; Script Function: ; Ouvre une fenêtre pour demander a l'utilisateur de changer de cd ; ; $var=MsgBox(33, "Changer le disque", "Veuillez inserer le disque 2 Microsoft OfficeXP Professionnel SP3 et attendre que la diode cesse de clignoter...") Select Case $var=1 RunWait("Office.cmd") EXIT Case $var=2 EXIT EndSelect EXIT The 3rd EXIT I added now to test... but the rest was there at the time of this post. supposed to get a msg box to appear, when i click ok it starts the office.cmd routine from the root (the cmd refers to the cd drive), if cancel is pressed it just exits. When pressiing ok everything is fine but not when pressing cancel EDIT: and what if it didn't go away when I press ok... I tested so long ago that I don't remember... Thanks for any help

I looked at the other thread, **** I'll wait for this weekend to try this cause 1- it looks so much more complicated 2-not even sure if it finally works fine I wished there was a more easy way to do things not with 3-5 RunOnceEx#, which is the methods listed, but with only one RunOnceEx with some row tags, like HTML (imagine /VE and /WE would be from left to right the progs title in the left row, and W in the right row, X would be the most to the right, and Y and then Z if you need 5 rows) That would be simple and easy. I'll continue searching for something like this before doing the other method, anyway it's more professionnal in my opinion to have only one windows, that when it's over, you know it's over, thant having 5 installation windows that reboots, then starts back, reboots, starts back, and you never know when it's done

This post may be in the wrong thread, but I can't find lots of information about runonceex (not only copy pasting but information to LEARN) and I was wondering if there was a way to to more then 1 row... I explain Installation of progs -7zip -adobe -nero -bla -bla -bla -and -so -on I got 20+ progs to install and the list is getting very long, would there be a way to radjust the visual a bit? Installation of progs -7zip -bla -adobe -and -nero -so -bla -on -bla EDIT: imagine 2nd row is parallel to the 1st one, cause the post doesn't like having lots of spaces one after another And if there is a way, well you got yourself a new suggestion for your next version

woot thanks! if all topics could be that simple...

I don't know how you did it but my SAVSource installation folder is 42.5Mb (including the most recent virus defs and Intelligent Updater (around 8Mb)) How can any of you compress this using 7zip to get to 11Mb sfx? I tried at ultra compression, with 255 word lenght and 48 word size (or something like that) and I still got a 27Mb file... any hints? What's the difference between LiveUpdate and IntelligentUpdater? Symantec's site is so clear and full of explanations... (I'm being sarcastic here) But since both are updating the virus def, I don't need both, maybe one is automatic and LiveUpdate is manual? Then why do I have to manually download the new intelligent updater file?

I don't know for sure, but on my cd it's $OEM$\blablabla... maybe it has something to do with that

It's really strange, but I double checked and the readme (lisezmoi) file in the lusetup2.0.zip and in the liveupdate folder (the one you sent me) are both saying it's v2.0 dated december 2003... I don't know what else to do or say... And to RyanVM, it's not live update telling me it's up to date but the installer itself, when I manually tried the file mazin sent me from the french folder on symantec's ftp. So I hope they are currently working on releasing the other lu setup in the other languages... anyone here not on an english system too?

Nope it says that the version I have is already up to date!

I personnally use BITTORNADO! The only simple (well i tried 2 before this one)bittorent client. Just click the torrent link and it starts up, very fast downloads. Just wait for the convenient tray icon to turn from gray to white and download is done. Don't forget to stay on longer after file transfert is finished if you want to help share the wealth! Since I'm very unlucky at finding bittorent files appart from suprnova (I really don't rememeber the url, justdon't put an e to supr) I have been using eDonkey for a long time. It gots lots of good stuff there, like albums in .rar or .zip format, which is so much better then looking for each song (there is so much bands with only 1 hit and an album that sucks a**), but for some people, including me, since version 1.0 was released I'm having serious speed problems, often uploading a full day without downloading a byte, i'm also "lowid"ed even if i done all the steps to resolve this (it occured only after installing v1.0) so if you can find the old 0.53 installer (maybe I should rollback... ) DOWNLOAD EDONKEY v0.53b else try v1.0 if it works or wait for an update! Should I try Shareaza? Well there is a new 2.0 version, and I'm afrait of new things (like I regret trying the new edonkey version...) so anyone know it it's good?

And what about /qr? anyway, i want to learn so if you could link to those article it would be nice, during that time i'll try to google the answer but as I told before, looking for switches on the net is not an easy task. I'm really curious what those switches do, what's the difference, and why -p"-s /v\"/qn\"" why - instead of , why \ why the " WHY WHY WHY??? Gotta find those tech articles see ya

The GreenMachine is soo right! When I was looking for pskill 2 days ago, I looked on google and found it in minutes! Now the only thing not working is pskill itself, telling me that there is no process named msnmsgr.exe while ctrl-alt-insert (in vmware) shows there is a process with that exact name....

good ones, why /qb and /qb- ??? difference between /qb /qn (it's the progress bar) and /qr ? why sometime put the switches at the beggining and sometimes at the end? why sometime use - instead of / and why combine those 2? what about \ then? This may be ABC to programmers and scripters but lots of people here are also geeks without any formations, more guides should be created so the forum could breathe a little more

Ok guys I found it out, it's just VMWare that's stupid, cause when it's on, it takes over the windows setting for internet connection and when you shut it down, it doesn't set them back to windows, thus windows thinks a cable is unplugged while the internet can continue working perfectly. And that's also why a reboot solved this. Now.. it's VMware programmers job to solve this thing.
