How do you run the .inf file? Can you give me the code to run it from RunOnceEx.cmd? I couldn't get the first method to work. Do I need to apply the .reg file BEFORE installing the prog?

Finally sorted it out The problems was caused by virtual machine not having a D: drive. I changed this setting in winnt.sif: [GuiUnattended] ProfilesDir="D:\Documents and Settings\" To: [GuiUnattended] ProfilesDir="C:\Documents and Settings\"

I'm testing my unattended CD at the moment, but I'm having problems with my profiles. My winnt.sif sets the user profiles directories like this. [GuiUnattended] ProfilesDir="D:\Documents and Settings\" BUT, Virtual PC doesn't seem to recognise this disk, and when I install it hangs when applying user settings saying, Is there a way to make Virtual PC have a D: drive available for the "Documents and Settings" ? TIA Is this what's causing my trouble? EDIT: New test with "ProfilesDir" set to C: confirmed this is the causie of all my troubles!

Thanks! You were right about the version no. Should be 6.0 like you said. I've uppdated the code above with corrected paths in case someone wants to use it.

I tried to run it again with the fixes suggested here. Still no go. When the instalation gets to "Applying your personal settings" it freezes and requires a reboot. After reboot the error mentioned in the first post appears. After pressing "OK" it finishes the installation and starts running the RunOnceEx.cmd entries. I then get this error report from the Nero installation: Nero says: Could these problems be Virtual Machine related? I have 512 MB of RAM and the pagefile fixed at 786 MB. Could it be that VM is running out of recources?

Thanks a bunch!

Thanks! I added the last two lines to my RunOnceEx.cmd: REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "O&O Defrag Professional v.6" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%cdrom%\Apps\DfrgPro\OODefrag.msi /qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /VE /D "Registering O&O Defrag Professional" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 1 /D "%cdrom%\Apps\DfrgPro\regDefrag.cmd" /f Running: ECHO. ECHO Registering OO Defrag Professional... REGEDIT /S %cdrom%\Apps\DfrgPro\regDefr.reg Which again should run regDefr.reg which goes: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\O&O\O&O Defrag\6.0\Pro] "User"="XXXXX" "Company"="XXXX" "SerialNo"="XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXX-XXXX" Will this work corectly or do I need to specify "wait" somewhere for this to finish before the rest of the RunOnceEx.cmd continues?

My RunOnceEx.cmd now successfully installs O&O Defrag Pro. I still have to register it manually however. Is there a way around this? REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "O&O Professional Defrag 6" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%cdrom%\Apps\DfrgPro\OODefrag.msi /qn" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\009 /VE /D "Registry Tweaks" /f REG ADD %KEY%\009 /V 1 /D "%cdrom%\Apps\REGEDIT /S %CDROM%\Apps\regtweaks.reg" /f When running this section of my RunOnceEx.cmd I get the error "Windows cannot find D:\Apps\REGEDIT" Any suggestions?

The Password and Username errors happened because I wanted to change my username before posting. but obviously forgot to change it everywhere. It is correct in original. Cd Rom If Exists are missing They were removed by "RunOnceEx.cmd Creator" program. In fact, if using that prog I will have to add them manually after saving. Sorry about the serials. Fixed.

I just finished my Unattended CD and tried it in Virtual Machine. After installing everything (which seems to work fine), I run into two problems! 1 I get an error message saying: "Windows Cannot create a temporary profile directory. This may be caused by insufficient security rights. If this problem persists, contact your network administrator." Followed by: " Windows cannot load the user's profile but has logged you on with the default profile for the system. DETAIL - The device is not ready." 2 The start menu won't open, nor the "administrative tools" on the Control Panel. Any suggestions will be GREATLY appreciated.
