Do you have an unattended script made (WINNT.SIF)?
For help on making an unattended disc, goto MSFN, and you'll find the information on how to create an unattended disc.
An unattended disc simply goes through the installation for you, no user interaction required. The driverpack option has the drivers added (unattended?) and the regular option is just a normal XP installation, no driverpacks and no unattended.

start /wait
tells the command line to wait until the application it is calling is finished
%systemdrive%
refers to your systemdrive, normally C:\
@echo off
tells the computer to lose the:
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME
title
tells the computer to title the window, instead of seeing C:\WINDOWS\cmd.exe you'll see UnAttended XP Install v1.1
now that you've got the link to the guide, hopefully you'll read up on it.

HAHAHAHA, finish you unattended disc, thats a riot! You'll never be done, why do you think so many people have been here for so long.
What didn't work? Did Office just not install, did the office directory not get copied correctly, did the START.CMD not get started, did the CMD skip office? Whats happened?
Please be as specific as possible. What you are trying to say may be clear as day to you, but the rest of us are left in the fog :-)
Also, don't just install everything and hope it works. Create an small batch file just for OFFICE2003 that only has this:
ECHO.
ECHO Installing MS Office 2003 Professional
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Office_2003_Pro\SETUP.EXE TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-in it, and see if it works. It'll save you loads of time and frustration.

I mean really why learn about RunOnce at all if it has not a **** thing to do with what your looking to end up with.
.......
Teaching people 5 dozen things when all they need to do is learn six seems a** backwards to me.
I'll agree with this. Why bother teaching what people don't need, its pointless, and it takes up valuable space in my head.
And as for finding things using search, its next to impossible now because people post so many **** questions on how to do it. If you just searched in the first place it'd be simple!
I've been here nearly a year, most my posts have been helping people. Why did I not ask a whole bunch of questions, why because theres a search button! Thats what its there for. Its not there to look pretty, its there to answer your questions. I see so many people asking how to install nero or firefox, or whatnot, its insane!
--Edit:
Wow, I was here a year as of September, my how time fly's

@WotC
A list of the files you use would be cool. Just navigate to it in command line and type
dir > FILES.txt
I personally don't use this program, but others who do might like to know what files are needed.

Works for me using profiles. Works perfectly.
I still use the SIMONSAYS method

well, this sucks. I couldnt' wait for v3
Oh well, I'll have to get the source, which is hopfully still available and try to learn more C++

1) Well, the developer hates XML, thats his perogative.
2) Interesting idea. You could just tell the program to use your ini file instead of the defaul though. I install on plenty of different computers, and I just use a different INI file when needed.
3) eh, seems pretty pointless to me, but then again, the only things in the directory with WIHU is a buncha folders and the install.ini file, so they're always together for me.

If you want your programs to hide, you can always use AUTOIT.
I personally do NOT want to see asynchronus commands get implimented. My installation is pretty dependent on how I have it set up to run.
As for having it be on top, I would suggest it not always be on top, allow it via a switch. The reason for this is that AUTOIT based programs that I use will need to be on top. For example, I register my version of goldwave, it needs goldwave to be on the top, not WIHU.
Just my 2 cents

You have selected.2=0
of all stupid questions, you are clicking it manually to tell WIHU to install the software, correct?
Don't wanna ask a stupid question, but its usually the simple things that come back to haunt us.

Well, I think the update to the RVM integrator will make this much simpler :-)

Sigi, its an excellent program. I haven't had many errors with it at all, and the ones i did have were self inflicted.

Um....if you read the guide you shouldn't have too much of a problem.
A batch file basically just brings up a DOS box and types in what you want it to. The switches at you use for silent installs were built into the installer by the creator of the software. The silent switch basically simulates you clicking OK to everything and will install your programs to the default directory with default settings.
If you create a batch file with the proper switches, i don't know what more you need.
You can use the RUNONEX method thats been mentioned, but I would suggest creating and understanding the batch file first, then work your way up.
I personally use WIHU as a software selector and it works great for me. Others prefer WPI, or "Just another software selector" and the list goes on. You'll have to try and test these other methods out if you are interested.
Like I said though, get the basics to work and understand them first.

why do we use rundll32 printui.dll instead of a vbs liek this?
Wow, that works really well! THANKS!

why MUST you have a description? I've never had a description used and have never had these problems.

HM.....works fine here.
For all the people who are having problems, I made a MIRROR. Hopefully this will work for everyone.
If SIGINET wants me to delete this mirror, or update it later, I will happily do so, just drop me a PM.
EDIT: Mirror updated to my new domain

You could make an AUTOIT script, thats what I did. I beleive its for an earlier version though.

Would where you have it stored make any difference? It should run in 64-bit (as long as the programs are 64-bit compatable).
CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG THOUGH!

I'm considering picking up an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Processor (Winchester) Socket 939. and I have a couple questions, I figure people who have 64-bit processors could tell me.
1) When running Windows XP (32-bit), is the processor still fast (I mean is it comparable to the Intel P4 3.2GHz)
2) How is XP x64 unattended installations? About the same as XP?
3) (I looked and couldn't find) Anyone out there manage to find ATI 9200 All in Wonder drivers that work for XP x64?

For the adobe reader, all you have to do is download the reader that RyanVM has on his site. Its a switchless installer, all you have to do is call it in a batch file (ex... %CDROM%\RVM_ADOBE7.exe)
His adobe program is completely different and independent of his Post-SP2 pack (which I strongly recommend
)0 -
There are many options, WPI, WIHU, kTOOL, etc....
I have tried most of em, WIHU is the only one that would work the way I wanted it to, but all the others were awesome progs as well. Just test em out and see which one you like the best, then do what Doc Symbiosis suggests. Good luck

AUTOIT up a script.

Probably bad media. Try a different brand of DVD's. I've had some strange problems that get cleared up by simply changing media brands.

Jackson is a wierdo, and if I had kids I wouldn't want Jackson anywhere near them, but its not because I think he'll molest them, its just because he's too creepy.
The parents saw a way to make some easy cash, nothing more and nothing less.
Jackson might be strange, but he definately doesn't deserve what's happened to him.
