I want to bump this, in the hopes of a more clear answer... Which programs should be first? second? middle? last? Could someone make a list? (ex: antivirus, word, spyware stuff, etc.)

I want to know what are the switches for Drag'n Drop CD+DVD 3? USSF says "no known installer"... [EDIT] For anyone who gets this post from a search: I figured it out. It was an InstallShield. Instructions from: http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/applications/installshield.htm

Hi, I am trying to silently install Sysreset 2.53 It's mIRC plus fserve script. Anyway, the file is, acording to USSF, a "selfextracting RAR archive", and "the RAR comment contains the setup script". How do I install this silently? And how do I change the path (default is C:\Sysreset)? Here is the website: http://www.sysreset.com/ And while I'm at it, how do I save the reg info for mirc/sysreset, so I can just run a .reg file to re-register it?

so which is the right code to use? ALiAS_2004's? CLS @echo off ECHO. REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\NAV2005\navreg.reg ECHO. REM taskkill.exe /F /IM symlcsvc.exe CCPD-LC.exe del "%systemdrive%\WINDOWS\system32\CCPD-LC.exe" ECHO. start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\NAV2005\NAVSetup.exe /O REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qb EXIT Also, if I follow these directions, and install NAV, using this method, onto another computer, will it still work?

Soooo close to perfect... Everything I need is right here except that. Please change it to: Forced installation will install some applications even if UNCHECKED (and you click Install). BUT, Clicking EXIT allows for NOTHING to be installed. THEN I will finally be happy with WPI. [EDIT] Also, what happened to "wpi.cmd"? You removed it? It used to be in the same directory as "WPI.hta". Oh, and do we really need the "docs" folder anymore? It hasn't been updated since who-knows-when.

Ok, I finished making the changes I wanted. Could you look over this code, and make sure I applied it correctly? winnt.sif [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\WPI20b15\wpi.cmd regedit /S %systemdrive%\install\cleanup.reg cleanup.reg Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce] "OEMCleanup"="%systemdrive%\\install\\cleanup.cmd" cleanup.cmd CLS @echo off TITLE Windows XP SP2 - Cleanup ECHO. shutdown.exe -r -f -t 60 -c "Windows XP will now restart in 1 minute..."

RD /S /Q "%UserProfile%\Favorites\" ECHO Deleting Temp Installation Files... RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\Drivers RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\Install RD /S /Q "%systemroot%\Cache\Adobe Reader 6\" EXIT the cleanup.cmd is also deleting some shortcuts from programs which should be installed on the FIRST BOOT. As I understand this method, cleanup.cmd will run on the SECOND BOOT. Is this correct? Thanks!!! (PS - my cleanup.reg and cleanup.cmd are in "$OEM$\$1\Install\" )

are you guys working together? there are so many versions of WPI now... suggestion: could you make the timer hard-coded on or off? Because I want to be able t install windows, and maybe come back an hour or two later and have it waiting on the WPI install screen. I want it unattended UNTIL WPI. Clearly, some people want the timer feature, so maybe you can have an option in the actual coding to turn it on or off, without having to click the "stop" button.

Let me see if I understand this... 1) Both files (OEMClean.reg, OEMClean.bat) should be in my $OEM$\$$ dir (so that they are copied to windows\system32) 2) in my winnt.sif, I have: [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\WPI20b15\wpi.cmd regedit /S C:\Windows\System32\OEMClean.reg 3) My OEMClean.reg should be: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce] "OEMCleanup"="C:\\Windows\\System32\\OEMClean.bat" 4) My OEMClean.bat should be: Deltree /Y C:\Install Deltree /Y C:\Drivers Deltree /Y C:\Windows\System32\OEMClean.reg Deltree /Y C:\Windows\System32\OEMClean.bat (or basically, my cleanup file) Q1) Is this implemented correctly? Q2) This should cause my wpi.cmd to run now, and my OEMClean to run AFTER my next startup (meaning AFTER I reboot the machine?) - namely, after all my programs install, then I reboot, then this runs? Q3) Can I change my OEMClean.bat to be a ".cmd" file? (assuming I change all references of OEMClean.bat to OEMClean.cmd, will this still work?)

so if you used WPI_2.0b_Kampfwurscht_1.5 - i can add up to 48 programs? and this timer thing - there's a button to stop the timer? (sorry i havent downloaded it yet) i still think it makes more sense to have the "defaults" selected by default, and NOT select all - this way if it's unattended, only the default stuff is installed, not every single app. nice job though!!

umm... 1) Nice feature...maybe set it to 120 seconds instead? It takes time to browse through all the programs 2) How about having only the DEFAULT boxes checked? (for the "default=yes" command) 3) Ok, I guess.. 4) Cool Question1: Which WPI did you use as a basis? There are now a lot of versions... I ask this because I know "WPI_2.0b_Kampfwurscht_1.5" (which I use now) allows for up to 48 programs, while others are less than 20... Question2: Are all other features the same as in whatever original code base you used?

could you post your batch file so I can see your exmaple?

Update: Created another ISO, once again leaving out the Touchpad driver, and, once again, NO BSOD!!

as i suspected, it did not work. It waits until the graphical check-box selection finished. but once that's done, it begins cleanup before the programs actually install. i guess i'll have to find another way to activate the cleanup AFTER the programs install.... hmmm... How do I make a program (cleanup.cmd) run AFTER everything else is done?

oh my god!!! it didnt work!!! is this a VMWare problem? what am I doing wrong?!?!?!?!?!?!? ARRRGGHHH!!!

Yea, i put that exact code in, and im testing it now...let's see.. (maybe it's a problem with VMWare?)

lol, i was just thinking the same thing! but im a lot more n00b than you...

Ok, first of all, thanks for explaining the partition thing. On a side note, all day long I tried making diff ISO's removing different drivers. I just found an ISO that worked - No BSOD. The driver that I removed (and, apparently was causing the BSOD when left in) was the TOUCHPAD driver. I hope this was the problem, and that I'm done with it....

... next install i'll test it.

If I do this (below), will it WAIT for WPI to be totally done? WPI is a check-box interface, once that finishes, it installs things in a runonceex kind of way,,, i want it to wait for all of that to finish.

i understand everything until that last line... when i have two partitions, how do i decide which to use (ie - how do i change). also, how do i get rid of a partition, and just have all my space under one drive, like it is now - will doing that delete all my data?

laurens - 1) i know that, but can i select "always use..." for notepad? or will that interfere in some way with the unattended cd? 2) i dont see how that will help - both files are running, its just that the second file runs too early. i need it to wait until WPI finishes...

1) Every time i try to edit my winnt.sif, it says "what program would you like to use" - can i select always use notepad? or will that interfere with the functioning of the winnt.sif file during install? 2) I'm having a problem with my [GuiRunOnce]. I need two things to run, but i need the second to not run until the first finishes. [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\WPI20b\wpi.cmd %systemdrive%\install\cleanup.cmd WPI is intalling tons of programs, and takes a while. ONCE THAT FINISHES, I want to run cleanup (delete the temp install files - some of which are used for WPI). How do I do this correctly? Now the code deletes the files just as WPI starts...

@ RyanVM: After reading your reply, and re-reading my post, I see I wasn't clear. I know about VMWare, etc. I meant to go through the entire install process (even on a VM) takes a lot of time for a small thing such as this. That's why it can be helpful to simply ask people who have already done it, sometimes. But, in any case, I see your point.
