thanks for your replies. I have read all the web (http://unattended.msfn.org) but my problem were that i don't understood were to put that file (and know i have see that my runonceex.cmd file has to be with cmdlines.txt). I'm goping to try it (i hope good news). Thanks!!!! EDIT: NOW WORKS FINE!!!!! THANKS!!!!

Wel, i'm spanish an my english is very limited , sorry. I have tried to do this kind of installation but i can't do it to work. I don't understand exactly what means "Save this as cmdlines.txt inside the $OEM$ folder within your Windows Setup Source folder." i have to put cmdlines.txt in C:\XPCD\$OEM$ ??? or in C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\Install\ ?? ( i have tried batch method and it works fine for me). i hope you can understand me and you can help me with this. Thanks a lot!!!!

yes but nothing occurs. I think cmdlines.txt is not executed during installation and for that there is nothing in registry and nothing is installed. i have seen that my Install folder in $OEM$ is copied during installation to HD. by the other hand , i have tried to do it installing from cd (like Astalavista says) but i have seen that files ($OEM$\$1\Install\ are copied to HD too. It is supposed to be installed from CD, why are copied to HD??? I think every time i try to do this installation, things works worse.

it could be my windows version?? (spanish it's mine, and this guide is for other??)

do i must have a call to cmdlines.txt in any file??? the definitive problem is that cmdlines.txt isn't be executed. any idea???

well, i have been working in this cd and i have no results. i have started again from a clear windows xp cd. I haven't modified winnt.sif (because [GUIRUNONCE] section in not necessary (isn't it). it doesn't completely unattended but i need to check the applications installations. ok, i created the cmdlinex.txt with your text and the tweak.reg file with my tweaks (this are yours because they are from this page). After this, i created the Runonceex.cmd file with the same content i have posted here. I created the $OEM$ structure with the aplications and i have downloaded the cmdow.exe file and copy it to $OEM$\$$\SYSTEM32. i think this are all the steps for this creation. (i'm correct??) well, i have created the ISO and run it to VMware. After the installation (all correct) i have verified that no registry entry has been added. WHY???? you have told to me that my files are correct . It seems that my cd doesn't have $OEM$ folders. i really don't what to do with this. I think i will be using start.cmd and [GUIRUNONCE] section in winnt.sif, it's the only that works to me. Thanks!!!

Astalavista, i like very much your idea for install the applications from cd but for the moment i prefer to run it from HD. And i think that it's more fast to install applications from HD when you have a lot of them. If you have a lot, i think from CD will be more slower. (but i'm sure in future i will use it ) to others: thanks for show my errors in application switches.

thanks a lot to all of you for helping me!!!!! i think i have mixed winnt.sif of windows 2000 and windows xp because i'm trying to do a multiOS bootable cd with an $OEM$ folder for each installation. I'm going to trying this and i'm completely sure thant you are in the certain thing. Thanks really to all for your help!!!! PD: is very difficult to understand me with my poor english????? i had a lot of time that i don't spoke in english. (and as you can see it costs a little to me)

this is my winnt.sif file: ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes UnattendSwitch="yes" FileSystem=* TargetPath=\WINDOWS [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=No OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=105 OemSkipWelcome=1 [UserData] ProductID=xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx FullName="."

What's wrong here????? Thanks a lot.

if i execute runonceex.cmd from cd it adds the registry entries without problems. the problem is during installation the file is like it doesn't exists.

This is my runonceex.cmd: cmdow @ /HID @echo off SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Instalando Aplicaciones..." /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Adobe Acrobat Reader 6" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Aplicaciones\AReader6\ADBERDR60_ESP_FULL.EXE /qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /VE /D "WinRAR 3.42 Corporativa" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Aplicaciones\WinRAR\WinRAR342ce.exe /s" /f REG ADD %KEY%\003 /VE /D "McAfee ViruScan Enterprise 8.0i" /f REG ADD %KEY%\003 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Aplicaciones\VSC\vse800.msi /qb" /f REG ADD %KEY%\004 /VE /D "Sun Java VM 1.4.2" /f REG ADD %KEY%\004 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Aplicaciones\Java\j2re-1_4_2_04-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v/qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Microsoft JavaVM - Build 3810" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\JavaVM\MSJavaVM_3810.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\006 /VE /D "Mozilla FireFox v1.0 Español" /f REG ADD %KEY%\006 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Aplicaciones\firefox\setup.exe -ms -ira" /f REG ADD %KEY%\007 /VE /D "RealPlayer Alternative" /f REG ADD %KEY%\007 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Aplicaciones\RAlt\realalt129.exe /VERYSILENT /SP-" /f REG ADD %KEY%\008 /VE /D "QuickTime Alternative" /f REG ADD %KEY%\008 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Aplicaciones\QAlt\quicktimealt139.exe /VERYSILENT /SP-" /f REG ADD %KEY%\009 /VE /D "Spyware Blaster v3.2" /f REG ADD %KEY%\009 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Aplicaciones\Spyw\spywareblastersetup.exe /verysilent" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "Office XP Professional con SP3" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Aplicaciones\OfficeXP\PROPLUS.msi /QB" /f REG ADD %KEY%\011 /VE /D "Nero Burning Rom 6.6.0.6" /f REG ADD %KEY%\011 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Aplicaciones\Nero\nero6606.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\011 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Aplicaciones\Nero\NeroLang.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\012 /VE /D "NeroVision Express v3.0.1.18" /f REG ADD %KEY%\012 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Aplicaciones\Nero\vision.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\012 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Aplicaciones\Nero\visionLang.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\013 /VE /D ".NET Framework 1.1" /f REG ADD %KEY%\013 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\aplicaciones\netf\dotnetfx.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\098 /VE /D "Importando Entradas al Registro" /f REG ADD %KEY%\098 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\regtweaks.reg" /f REG ADD %KEY%\099 /VE /D "Limpieza Final y Reiniciado" /f REG ADD %KEY%\099 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\cleanup.cmd" /f EXIT i think the problem is cmdow but i followed the instructions and i have downloaded and copy the file to \$OEM$\$$\System32. if cmdow is not in his correct location, runonceex.cmd doesn't run , isn't it? I don't have any entry in [GUIRUNONCE] in winnt.sif (the instructions says that this entry must be removed) Thanls for your help!!!

Hi!!! I have been reading forum ,post, (using the search function of course) but i can't look for the solution. My problem is that my runonceex.cmd file doesn't works. I doens't nothing. I have followed ALL THE STEPS you have done here but i think my cmdlines.txt never executes itself because i go to the registry after the installation and i don't have nothing in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx (is empty). I think i have tried all!!! here you got the picture with my $OEM$ folder. My cmdlines.txt: [COMMANDS] "RunOnceEx.cmd" I have removed [GUIRUNONCE..] in winnt.sif . Do i must to have reference for this files in any file???? I don't know. Sorry for my english but i'm spanish and i don't uset it enough. THANKS!!!!
