[Problem with RunOnceEx.cmd]

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!!!!

[I can't resolve this!]

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.

[I can't resolve this!]

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

[I can't resolve this!]

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???

[I can't resolve this!]

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.

[I can't resolve this!]

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)

[I can't resolve this!]

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.

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!!!

[I can't resolve this!]

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!!!!
