what i do is have my cleanup.cmd last, and as a forced option. within my cleanup, there is a restart command. i dont think its a good idea to run two things from [GuiRunOnce]

anyone else got any ideas?

you could also use: %UserProfile% for current user. %AllUsersProfile% for all users. this can be used, say, for deleting icons: DEL %AllUsersProfile%\Desktop\LINK.lnk

huh? i dunno...i use 1024x768 and everythings fine by me... maybe hasi has an answer.

maybe he wants 2.5 minutes, huh?

i think you're confusing two different things: the selection window (with the checkboxes) has arrows on the bottom if you have LOTS of programs, and it needs a new screen to continue listing them what we are talking about is the acutal "Windows Update" window that comes up once you press "Begin Install", with a list of everything this is being installed.

no, cleanup finishes about the time the countdown gets to 30 seconds... i have plenty of time for it to finish, but it doesnt...

looks ok, assuming your paths are correct. good luck

wait... why do I even need that setstartup.reg? can't I just call the command: "%systemdrive%\Install\Tweaks\Visual\SetVisualEffects.exe /silent" and have just SetVisualEffects.exe, and Settings.ini in that folder?

I know I can change the number of apps untul a new window opened. What I was suggesting is that there is one RunOnceEx Window open, listing all the categories, and then a new window opens up next to it for each categories sub-items. I don't know how to do what you said about looping.... Also, I do not have the problem LaptoniC described, but I also don't have the latest IE Patch...

the cleanup file looks ok, i think... where are you calling it from, maybe that command has a typo?

@Alpheratz13: I did put the hotfix, but I don't think my cleanup was fully working before anyways... @MHz, @evilvoice: Really? I didn't know that - I'll fix it (added REM to those "//" lines). But then why would SOME of my folders inside "Install" delete, and not all?

is this what you mean?

err...ok, but what if i dont want it for every single account. rather, i just want it for the current account? what if i dont want to keep it on my system? can i delete it during cleanup? what do i do?

if I don't want to put the files in System32, am i correct in assuming that the only thing i need to change is this: [Assuming that setstartup.reg is in the same folder as cmdlines.txt, and the other two files (SetVisualEffects.exe, Settings.ini) are in "$OEM$\$1\Install\Tweaks\Visual"]

I just ran across this post: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=30298 how's that for a solution for the "window is too big" problem? Install each category in a seperate window, with the first window displaying the list.

bump any help would be appreciated...

except that it does. i use the command several times in the cleanup, and the ONLY times it doesnt work are listed above. i think it has something to do with files-in-use, but i need a way to force deletion even if in use..

yes. but isnt the point of a cleanup to be able to delete everything, EVEN ITSELF? and how does that have anything to do with the other one: powerdvd?

PS - in case it wasn't clear, the line of: RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\Install is supposed to delete both of the above mentioned directories and subfiles (along with other directories, which DO successfully delete), since both are in %systemdrive%\install

is there a list somewhere of the SFX codes? Im very insterested in the "Shortcut" command, but I don't understand how it works...

hmm I just did my first real-world test. I used WPI 2.82, and i had some problems. I'm not sure if its from some coding differences or some changes you made to the WPI but some things did not install. I'm going to try to fix my coding, and i'll report back.

could you post the entire SFX code? thanks

here's the dealio: my cleanup.cmd file does almost everything it's supposed to. for some reason, the folders "c:\install\wpi282h", and "c:\install\applications\pdvd" won't delete. is there some way to force it? the apps in there are WPI, and POWERDVD5. both finished installing...probably some kind of background app running? here's my code: CLS @echo off TITLE Windows XP SP2 - Cleanup ECHO. shutdown.exe -r -f -t 60 -m "Windows XP will now restart in 1 minute..."

just thought i'd let you know: 1.01a installed perfectly on my REAL WORLD TEST XPCD. When I go to windows update, the only ciritcal one listed is the "KB834707" (which, i believe will be in the next update?) thanks for making this!!
