it has to go on the lines of this, you need the complete file name plus any switches to install silent prog[pn]=['Adobe Reader 6.0.1'] desc[pn]=['Allows to view PDF-Files.<i>Recommended</i>'] cmd1[pn]=['d:\\Install\\AbodeReader6\\acroread602.exe'] dflt[pn]=['yes'] cat[pn]=['Office'] ordr[pn]=[230] pn++

yes you still can just call it up from where it is just like above good on the edit button

If you mean your D:\ drive is your CDROM then yes it can be done. This is my RunOnceEx.cmd cmdow @ /HID @echo off FOR %%d IN (D: E: F: G: H: I: J: K: L: M: N: O: P: Q: R: S: T: U: V: W: X: Y: Z:) DO IF EXIST %%d\CD.TXT SET CDROM=%%d SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Preparing Installation..." /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "D:\install\wpi\WPI.hta" /f EXIT WPI is on the drive in D:\Install\wpi\

I think that should be Home_Page=http:\\www.google.nl or just add it through the registry homepage.reg Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] "Start Page"="http://www.google.nl/"

sorry but the only one i can help you on is Power DVD try just this ECHO Installing POWER DVD 5.0 ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\POWERDVD\setup.exe -s and put the iss file in the same directory as the setup.exe

What version is that? you have no pn++ at the end of your programmes plus if there are any mistakes then the whole thing wont work.

If you use an autologin.reg make sure after the complete install you set the AutoAdminLogin value back to 0. I had problems after installation that the computer always tried to login locally and not on the domain. make this the last thing in your RunOnceEx etc. after all software is installed. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "AutoAdminLogon"="0"

there are things missing on soem of these such as the /f at the end. ALL lines must finish with this. You are also using the same Key numbers eg. iTouch and Audigy using 002 Plus further down winamp uses the 4 twice. in front of some of your %systemdrive% are backslashes they need to be removed too cmdow @ /HID @echo off SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Changing Video Mode" REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "1365vidchng.exe 1152x864x60 -q" REG ADD %KEY%\002 /VE /D "iTouch Drivers" REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\iTouch\Disk1\setup.exe -s setup.iss" REG ADD %KEY%\002 /VE /D "Audigy LS Drivers" REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\audapps.cmd" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "ABC Bittorrent client" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Bittorrent\Bittornado.exe /S" REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "FlashFXP" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\FlashFXP\FXP.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "Gaim 1.0.2" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Gaim\gaim-1.0.2.exe /S" /f REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "Google Toolbar" /f REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "\"%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Google Toolbar\GoogleToolbarInstaller.exe\" /q /d" /f

no backslash before the ", that is the exact code from my dreamweaver and it instals ok. The f2 switch is only if you are installing from CDROM, if you install from the Hard Drive (eg. $OEM$\Install....) then you dont need to use the f2 switch.

not sure on the regedit but start the batch file like this. [GuiRunOnce] %WinDir%\regedit /s %WinDir%\system32\oemlink.reg %systemdrive%\install\1.bat you should be able to call it up like this. [GuiRunOnce] "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\install\XPLode\XPLode.exe log:"#systemdrive#\XPlode.log" just match up your directory structure to XPLode.exe

The InstallShield need to write a log so add this to each line after the -s -f2"%systemdrive%\\dream.log" my complete line looks like this cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Install\\Grafix\\Dreamweaver\\Setup.exe -s -f2"%systemdrive%\\dream.log"'] this will write the log in the systemdrive C:\ you can batch file them to be deleted in your cleanup.cmd. you dont have to use the f1 switch if the iss file is in the same directory as the setup.exe yours would look like this prog[pn]=['HDD Tool Seagate 4.09.05'] desc[pn]=['Zum Vorbereiten von Seagate HDDs'] cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Install\\HDDtoolSeagate4.09.05\\Setup.exe -s -f2"%systemdrive%\\HDD_SG.log"'] dflt[pn]=['no'] cat[pn]=['System'] pn++ prog[pn]=['HDD Tool Western Digital 11.0'] desc[pn]=['Zum Vorbereiten von WD HDDs'] cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Install\\HDDtoolWesternDigital11.0\\Setup.exe -s -f2"%systemdrive%\\HDD_WD.log"'] cmd2[pn]=['taskkill.exe /F /IM CDEject.exe'] dflt[pn]=['no'] cat[pn]=['System'] pn++ prog[pn]=['Live Update fuer MSI Mainboards'] desc[pn]=['Live Update 3.64'] cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Install\\MSI_LiveUpdate3.64\\setup.exe -s -f2"%systemdrive%\\MSI.log"'] dflt[pn]=['no'] cat[pn]=['System'] pn++ prog[pn]=['Realtek Audio Driver'] desc[pn]=['Treiber fuer Soundkarte von Rodent'] cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Install\\AudioDriver\\Setup.exe -s -f2"%systemdrive%\\RealTek.log"'] dflt[pn]=['yes'] cat[pn]=['System'] pn++ prog[pn]=['WS_FTP Pro 9.01'] desc[pn]=['FTP Client'] cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Install\\WS_FTPpro9.01\\fo-w901.exe -s -f2"%systemdrive%\\WSFTP.log"'] dflt[pn]=['yes'] cat[pn]=['System'] pn++ prog[pn]=['Macromedia DreamweaverMX 2004 7.0.1'] desc[pn]=['Web Editor'] cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Install\\DreamweaverMX2004\\Setup.exe -s -f2"%systemdrive%\\dream.log"'] cmd2[pn]=['xcopy /y /s %cdrom%\\Install\\DreamweaverMX2004\\Anleitungen\*.* "%programfiles%\\Macromedia\\Dreamweaver MX 2004\\Anleitungen\\"'] rega[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Install\\DreamweaverMX2004\\register.reg'] rega[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Install\\DreamweaverMX2004\\dateiendungen.reg'] dflt[pn]=['no'] cat[pn]=['Webdesign'] pn++ prog[pn]=['VIA Hyperion 4in1 4.53'] desc[pn]=['Treiber fuer Mainboard fuer Rodent'] cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Install\\via4in1_4.53\\Setup.exe -s -f2"%systemdrive%\\VIA.log"'] dflt[pn]=['yes'] cat[pn]=['System'] pn++ prog[pn]=['ULEAD Photo Impact XL 8.5 ESD'] desc[pn]=['Bildbearbeitung'] cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Install\\PhotoImpactXL8.5\\setup.exe -s -f2"%systemdrive%\\Ulead.log"'] dflt[pn]=['yes'] cat[pn]=['Webdesign'] pn++

Dafür ist dieses Forum auch da :-) Gruss

Are you using a useraccount.cmd if so what are the contents? plus your .reg file

I have a problem that half way down my list of installing software is 'Preparing Installation...' when it should be at the top. It seems that in the registry this is not in first place because the numbering is wierd. see picture.

I have also installed this without changing any ini files, just used the setup.exe -R to create the iss file put it in the same directory as the setup.exe through RunOnceEx.cmd started it like this REG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "POWER DVD 5.0" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Install\PowerDVD\setup.exe /s -f2\"%systemdrive%\power.log\"" /f Through XPLode like this <item display='Power DVD 5'> <execute display='Installing Power DVD........' program='#SOURCEDRIVE#\install\DVD\PowerDVD\setup.exe' arguments='-s -f2"%systemdrive%\power.log"' /> </item> and through WPI like this prog[pn]=['Power DVD 5'] desc[pn]=['Install Power DVD a must for any computer with a DVD ROM.<i>Recommended</i>'] cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\install\\DVD\\PowerDVD\\setup.exe -s -f2"%systemdrive%\\power.log"'] dflt[pn]=['yes'] cat[pn]=['DVD'] pn++ setup.iss is attached setup.iss

#sourcepath# is the CDROM drive letter. So far as i see there is no real difference between % abd # although some variables work better with the # in XPLode, i only use the # now

Is there a list somewhere of what variables WPI uses? I need to get some things like %ProgramFiles% for an automatic McAfee update going. oops found some of them and it is in there but it does not work will try a pause and get it going. Are they case sensitive?

Is the NIC getting an IP address? Have you got DHCP=yes in the winnt.sif? I had trouble with this but found a solution http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=31503 try this to logon to the daomain Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "DefaultUserName"="*username*" "DefaultPassword"="*userpassword*" "AutoAdminLogon"="1" "DefaultDomainName" = "*Domain*" make sure after your install that you change the "AutoAdminLogin"="0" otherwise the computer will autologin all the time. I have got this working at work but dont have the settings here at home. I will double check on monday and post again then.

That is the only part i will do too, I will not let windows do this for me either

Dont get that because it works fine on my CD.... There is nothing else to set ony add the winnt.sif

How can i set up my unattended install to logon to a Domain at first boot? my settings are as follows. winnt.sif [Identification] JoinDomain=*DomainName* DomainAdmin=*DomainAdminName* DomainAdminPassword=*DomainAdminPassword* my cmdlines.txt calls up a konten.cmd which has this in it cmdow @ /HID @echo off net user aspnet /delete net user *username* /add net localgroup Administratoren *username* /add net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited REGEDIT /S autologin.reg EXIT and my autologin.reg is as follows Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "DefaultUserName"="*username*" "DefaultPassword"="*userpassword*" "AutoAdminLogon"="1" The user is already in the domain. It is just getting the autologon to use the domain and not the local user. My unattended stops at login and i can change to the domain, but that is not hte point of the whole thing. Everything between the stars has been changed

here is my full code just add your name and Product key and try this one. Make sure the winnt.sif is in the I386 directory. This works for my inst. ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" AutomaticUpdates=yes [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=yes UnattendSwitch="yes" TargetPath=\WINDOWS FileSystem=* WaitForReboot="No" DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword="wally" EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=105 OemSkipWelcome=1 [UserData] ProductKey=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX FullName="FullName" OrgName="" ComputerName=computer [Display] BitsPerPel=24 Xresolution=1024 YResolution=768 [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 Language=00000407 [Identification] JoinWorkgroup=wally [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=No [NetAdapters] Adapter1=params.Adapter1 [params.Adapter1] INFID=* [NetClients] MS_MSClient=params.MS_MSClient [NetServices] MS_SERVER=params.MS_SERVER [NetProtocols] MS_TCPIP=params.MS_TCPIP [params.MS_TCPIP] DNS=Yes UseDomainNameDevolution=No EnableLMHosts=Yes AdapterSections=params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1 [params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1] SpecificTo=Adapter1 DHCP=Yes WINS=No NetBIOSOptions=0 [Components] msmsgs=off msnexplr=off freecell=off hearts=off minesweeper=off pinball=off solitaire=off spider=off zonegames=off [GuiRunOnce]

in the winnt.sif you have to add the following. This is for the MAC address [params.Adapter1] NetcardAddress = 0x123456789AB or if you know this info [params.Adapter1] PCIBusNumber = 0 PCIDeviceNumber = 11 PCIFunctionNumber = 0 so the Network bits in my winnt.sif look like this [Identification] JoinDomain=*MyDomain* DomainAdmin=*MyAdmin* DomainAdminPassword=*MyAdminPassword* [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=No [NetAdapters] Adapter1=params.Adapter1 [params.Adapter1] PCIBusNumber = 2 PCIDeviceNumber = 6 PCIFunctionNumber = 0 [NetClients] MS_MSClient=params.MS_MSClient [NetServices] MS_SERVER=params.MS_SERVER [NetProtocols] MS_TCPIP=params.MS_TCPIP [params.MS_TCPIP] DNS=No UseDomainNameDevolution=No EnableLMHosts=Yes AdapterSections=params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1 [params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1] SpecificTo=Adapter1 DHCP=No IPAddress=172.22.9.34 SubnetMask=255.255.248.0 DefaultGateway=172.22.8.1 DNSServerSearchOrder=172.22.8.44,172.22.8.32 WINS=No NetBIOSOptions=0 I have not got the login to the Domain going yet so any help on this would be good, but the IP address is assigned to the correct NIC.
