Thanks for the help m8, that really was very easy. Now need to work on slimming down my install. Thanks again

I've tested out if it other methods and no results. when I click to install I do get the InstallShield menu. Wouldn't that mean it is using instalshield?

Was hoping I can get some help here, my last file to convert and can't get it going. I am trying to do D-Link Software packed with installShield. There several ways I've tried to work this 1st setup.exe -R but doesn't create an .iss file at all. 2nd Setup.exe -s -f2"%systemdrive%\dlink.log" doesn't create the log unless i remove the 2 or 1 in other cases. Has to be just the -f for it to run. otherwise i get a mssg stating that "There is not enough space on drive 2dlink.log\ to extract this package. Please free up 2.88 MB and click Retry." And of course I have 100gb hard drive. So i don't understand this. If I run it with just the -f instead of the -f2 it will start the program but will still ask me to click on next to continue, so not much of a silent install I'd appreciate any help thx

Well, I almost got this done. Was fun, my first unattended. Tested all the programs b4 hand and nearly went insane on a few , but they work and install silently. I set up my regtweaks just like I want them. Even placed a logo and company name in the properties of my computer. I've now run into a problem after testing it on VirtualPC, and I know where it lies I just don't know how to work around this . When it installs goes through the whole process, just b4 it loads into windows for the first time it hangs at the welcome screen and so my programs will not load and doesn't load into windows. Now here is my situation and the cause for my troubles I want one of two things, either to set up a user like shown in the tutorial but with admin rights not a localgroup user. Also allow it to not have a password. I'm assuming to do that you just place an '*' where it asks for a password? Or the second option is to completely remove the files that create a user and use the .vbs script to rename administrator to what I want. This is where my trouble lies. Without that file, without renaming admin or creating a user my unattended cd works like a charm when I test it on VPC . Everything installs no problems. However, with the files my system will hang. The way I have it set up is that I call the file in my start.cmd file right at the begining of the program @echo off title Program Install ECHO. ECHO Renaming Administrator ECHO Please wait... %systemdrive%\install\applications\rename\rename.vbs I don't know how .vbs files work, don't know if it's in the right place or not. I just have it where all my applications are at. Do I have to call it from like my winnt.sif file or from something else? Do I have to place that code at the end of my script in the .cmd file after my program install coding? Or is there a way to have my user script create a user with admin rights. I'd prefer the first obtion, but whatever is best. I appreciate any feedback, or just some direction of where to go. I've looked around for more information on .vbs files, but I really haven't found anything.

First of all want to say thanks to everyone and their posts. I wouldn't be able to do any unattended installs without this forum. One of my last programs is to trying to install DLink Software for a wireless network card. I am having a hard time to have a silent install. What switches do i need? I've been playing with it, it starts the program but still asks if I want to install. I've done a search for DLink but haven't had any luck in finding much info.

would you do the registry tweaks at the beginning or at the end? I have a tweak to change my special folders some go to a network computer like 'My Documents' music and others are on my computer like 'Desktop' and 'Favorites'
