Nevermind. I'll just Nlite's RunOnce instead as it's working well.

Here are the contents. SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Symantec Endpoint" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Symantec.exe /s REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS" /f PAUSE EXIT I double checked the file extensions: cmdlines.txt and RunOnceEx.cmd

No, I'm using cmdlines.txt. Why would that matter? Even if the file is executed, it will crash.

I wrote a RunOnceEx.cmd, tested it, and copied it to an image. When I installed Windows it doesn't run. I can't run it manually either - the command window flashes up for a split second, presumably with an error message. But if I open the same file and copy and paste its contents into a new file, the new file runs perfectly. What is it about the image file that could be different than the copy-paste file?

Thanks. Out of curiosity, why does it matter what folder? Permissions?

Ah. Works now. I needed to add: [unattended] FileSystem-ConvertNTFS Repartition=Yes

I don't know what you mean by that. But this addon isn't the problem; the installation crashed before I added it and the installation works fine with this addon minus the hotfixes. Dunno. I've only used this in VirtualBox so far. I believe VirtualBox uses PATA.

I did the above but it didn't work. My final image does include WINNT.SIF with Autopartition=1

Oops! It's attached above now.

Duly noted. Thanks

This is from Program Files\nLite\Presets\Last Session.ini. I hope thats the right one. I didn't before because the Red Letters refer to removing components and I didn't remove any components. I am using a virtual machine for testing, but it's still time intensive to test every one. Thanks for your help! I appreciate it Last Session.ini

I can't find an add-on for Flash that supports non-IE browsers. Hard to believe it doesn't exist.

One, possibly more, Windows hotfixes are causing my Windows nLite installation to fail. The DOS segment (partition & file copy) goes fine but as soon as the GUI segment starts, it says "Startup is restarting........" and reboots into a loop. I haven't narrowed down the exact villain(s) as that would take MANY trial and errors. My gut is that a windows media player update is one, but not the only problem. Any tips?

Is it possible to automate the partitioning step? I just want to delete all partitions and perform a full format (not a quickformat) as NTFS. I manually edited my nlite preset to include: Autopartition=1 I've never manually edited a preset before, so maybe I'm doing something wrong. I created a preset in nLite, closed nLite, edited the preset in a text editor, and ran thru nLite again with that preset and skipped all the steps except burning the ISO.

Thanks! I didn't realize they were called add-ons.
