ok man... ****... i aint a junkie... i just smoke weed... Yes we know the real issue now :/

wow firstly i have a confession... Yesturday i was sitting at my desk and smoking blunts, which will explain why i got so confused.. i think i got a good understanding now, so thanks.. what i will do is, create a XP unattended, then test it, then add the tweaks, test again, then i will add my programs so that i have to follow the installation through, and finally once everything is in working order i will work on the batch files to ensure that i can leave it purely unattended.. sorry to be a n00b yesturday, i was impaitent because i was too stoned.. thanks for all the wonderful help all.. Toke.

Okay i just wanted to say a BIG thank you to all of you who have helped me so far, i no this must be really painstaking litreally walking me through everystep!!! i should really have picked it up from now, but to be honest i really dont understand it, and even though i dont i want to continue, just for experience!! remember, karma toke.

^^ you dont have to be sorry, its just not everyone is as computer literate as everyone else, this coding is all very new to me, i am only 16 years old, and am currently attempting this for the first time, i have been sat at this desk since 4pm its now 7:40, i have read and re-read all the guides i have found, and got so far, its this point where i am finding it really difficult..

**** man you are extremely helpful, ecspecially to a numbskull like me.. here is what i have done so far, i was wondering if you could just check and have a look to see if i am doing it correctly:

ok i think i am doing alright so far, however how do i tell it to install into a perticular directory or is that out of the question?? and i assume this part takes the longest?

ok so the above code you have entered will allow me to prompt the installation, and a switch at the end will make it silent? so i search the other forum for the programs i am using and make them a silent install? edit: ECHO. ECHO Installing Jasc PaintShopPro ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\PSP8\PaintshopPro8.exe /qn this would allow me install psp silently?

See this is why i am soo confused, i am just too dumb.. where you say myapps, should that be, start? runonceex?? what? edit :okie i see, i had already got the start.cmd file, so thats now understood, thanks 2nd edit: Okay i apoligise for the n00bish thinking, i seem to be getting a better understanding now.. its in the batchfile, start.cmd, that i am getting confused, as looking at peoples examples they are using different switches at the end of the file names, etc.. i would like to know, how i would find out what text i will enter to prompt the installation of my apps'

i want to cry!! lol okay.. You know when you have selected the app's you want, and you want to make them to be a silent install winthin the XP setup? you have to create a batch file... now i dont know all this start/?wait... etc. etc. stuff and want to install certain programs.. i know there are two ways about it, batch files and runonceex or something.. i dont care which way i do it, as long as i can do it, so could some one, you please tell me what i should be writing in these files..

thanks for the suggestion, but i have looked there and it really does not make any sence?

considering i havent had any replies to my previous thread and i am planning to try and finish the most part of this unattended install disc tonite, i have decided to try and create a better thread explaining my problems.. I followed the overclockers.com guide exactly, which is almost the same as the msfn one.. the problem is creating the batch files.. I really am confused on what to do, i know i need to tell the installation that i want these 3rd party app's to be installed, but from what i have seen it differs everytime - unless using the runoncex.cmd so could some one please please help me, i am totally lost and confused and really want to do this.. I have the app's in the correct file and everything, i just need to know what code i shall be typing into the .cmd file to ensure it will install silently.. any help would be appreciated!!

okies i dig some searching and i found this http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=27036 this is pretty much where i am struggling, i admit my IT knowledge on this subject is no way close to most of yours, hence the asking for help.. So i would like to install 3rd party programs unattended, and dont quite understand the batch giles, nor the other route suggested, if some one could reflect some light onto this, i would be greatly welcomed

Okay i have spent the most part of today following the guide from overlclockers.com.. i was really impressed on the writing style throughout as it was extremely easy to follow, however on page 6/7 i have hit a rather, well anoying problem.. so i thought i would head to your unattended website to see if it was wording differently or could explain it to me in a different way, which i woudl understand.. however this is not the case.. What i would like to do, and the reason i set out to do an unattended install was the fact i could have 3rd party programs silently installing on to the computer, without any need for me to interact.. i am currently at the install/applications folder, which is full of new folders which contain the exe's and installations files of several programs i would like to install.. now, i realise there are only certain programs which have the switches/ref code etc. for, and i dont think i even have a single program in the list.. So what i am asking is i need to create a batch file, telling the XP install that i want these 3rd party programs installed too.. (Getting confused) So can any one help me?? i am really confused here!! Thanks toke/
