Thanks I did look but did not find it, maybe better luck next time...

If you put as much energy into answering questions properly then so many people here would not be p***ed off. Why bother answering in the first place. also do you know the rules ? obviously not read rule 11 I HAVE SEARCHED!!!!!! if i knew exactly what i was looking for then i might have got a better search result. thanks for your help anyone got any constructive answers to this?

Is there a way to get rid of the yellow highlight when a new programme is installed and not started. I dont like starting everything that is installed just to get rid of it, sometimes it is only a readme file.

I have made a vbs script to install Winamp 5.0.6 it is attached so if anyone wants to use it go ahead. If you want to pick components then it needs to be changed. this part is when the Choose Components screen comes up WshShell.SendKeys ("{TAB}") WScript.Sleep(1000) WshShell.SendKeys ("{DOWN}") ' choose components WScript.Sleep(1000) WshShell.SendKeys (" ") WScript.Sleep(1000) ' add here any more sendkeys that you want to choose the components to install The first {TAB} takes you into the window to choose components. It then goes {DOWN} onto the Winamp Agent and {SPACE} unchecks it. It is here that you need to add WScript.SendKeys to choose what you want. So if you want to go to 'User Interface Extensions ' you have to add the {DOWN} 3 times and to open it up once {RIGHT}. The code would then look like this... WshShell.SendKeys ("{TAB}") WScript.Sleep(1000) WshShell.SendKeys ("{DOWN}") ' choose components WScript.Sleep(1000) WshShell.SendKeys (" ") WScript.Sleep(1000) WshShell.SendKeys ("{DOWN}") WScript.Sleep(1000) WshShell.SendKeys ("{DOWN}") WScript.Sleep(1000) WshShell.SendKeys ("{DOWN}") WScript.Sleep(1000) WshShell.SendKeys ("{RIGHT}") ' add here any more sendkeys that you want to choose the components to install the last few lines have been REM'ed out so if you want to use them they have to be customised as this would be a german OS. What this does is makes up a folder called Multimedia in Start/Programs if one does not exist and moves WinAmp to that. WinAmp.vbs

You already have it and are using it, well WPI is. WPI only passes on information to the registry to be installed.

Hi Lost Sole I got your PM and have replied. I dont think there is anything wrong with the code What it probably is is the sizes of your pictures. XPlode does not stretch the pictures so you have to optimise your pictures. If i remember correctly mine is using 480*640. I have done this because i install on multiple computers and the graphic card is not always found. I have made the head.png 639x33 main.png 639x425 foot.png 639x25 these may be odd sizes but it works.

I dont think that has anything to do with WPI. Wpi is only there for the selection not the installing. That is done through RunOnceEx in the registry

I was thinking of the same thing This program rocks....

The simple answer is 'YES' that is the reason, no fancy programming will help you need to put the cleanup.cmd in the $OEM$ folder directly and call it up from there. How do you call it up now? through RunOnceEx? if so you need to call it up directly from the cd. for example like this but not in the install directory, it wont delete itself and will stop. %CDROM%\$OEM$\cleanup.cmd

i had that too with the blue screens, the only way i got rid of it was to recopy the Windows XP CD again. Make sure you save your winnt.sif and other files you have set up. Copy the CD to a new directory and then add a new $OEM$ etc (ie new directories)

WPI is a the best I have found to select software. Even got it set up at work through the network. Godd work guys

lol...hey, i can't understand german nor can i the winnt.sif way is ok if you want to type in hundreds of entries otherwise i would just use a good old copy to allusers location.

@FavouriteVisitor depends where you are copying from? Do you mean from an unattended CD to the 'Favoriten' folder in C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\user\Favoriten? MCT's example is just copying from one folder to another.

have you tried installing java again? sounds like something with that one system is wrong

@NukeLed it might be easier to put the winnt.sif on CD but if you need to change info such as Windows Key or user info then you dont have to keep on re-burning the cd. I have to install many computers per week so this is a sufficient way of doing it. I also have my account.cmd and autologon.reg on the floppy with a command from cmdlines to use the floppy. [COMMANDS]"a:\account.cmd" CODE]

is there a way in vbs to tell if a window is still active? need it for an install where files are extracted out of a cab. I could use the sleep command but it is a bit primitive and it will have to be set way over the extraction time just in case it is used on a slower computer. So the best is to wait untill everything is extracted and see if the extraction windows is still open. also what is the time of the sleep function say for: WScript.Sleep(200);

Has anyone done a vbs script for EasyBoot?

glad to help

bmn i think this is the wrong thread for that, i have no idea about that try a different thread... sorry

hmmm it works perfect on my WPI, at least it comes up without errors. send me a pm with your email addy and i will send you the complete WPI I have with your config.js in it.

this is a code for a 60 second pause PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 60000 >NUL this is i think then for a 5 second pause PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 5000 >NUL Viel Erfolg

For firefox you could just add the cmd4 to the clean.cmd.

Hi glent, to start with some of your cmd lines are missing backslashes, there needs to be two together between directories ie. prog[pn]=['.Net Framework 1.1+SP1'] desc[pn]=['Installs Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1+SP1. <i>Recommended</i>'] cmd1[pn]=['c:\\install\applications\\XP\netfxsp1.exe'] only one between install\applications the tool tips were gone so an error was comin up too, plus a few minor errors try this... copy and paste it over the complete contents of you config.js or make a new file //Application Options: var debugOn = 0; // Each application has nine parameters. These are: var prog=[] // Program Name var desc=[] // A description var cmd1=[] // drive + Command Line 1, drive = 'systemdrive' or 'cdrom' or 'programfiles' or 'windir' or '' var cmd2=[] // drive + Command Line 2 var cmd3=[] // drive + Command Line 3 var regb=[] // b=befor installing the application var rega=[] // a=after installing the application var dflt=[] // Whether it's a default option.

your useraccounts.cmd is being called up in the cmdlines.txt? try adding a pause between each line of the useraccounts.cmd so it stops and waits to carry on maybe you can see what is not working.

I did not know about the winnt.sif method so i used the reg file method works, so 'why change a running system' You learn something new every day here, a fantastic source of information.
