So I know MSIs have installed back to back before, even out of SFXs, so I'm puzzled. In any event... @ totoymola: the thunderbird version is 1.0. I just noticed your question about that @ p388l3s: I totally forgot about CD-RWs haha... I'll have to start using those. Actually, it does make more sense to install TB and FF at the beginning... the java plugin for mozilla (i'm not even sure it would work with FF, I haven't had a chance to test that yet) wouldn't get installed if the browser isn't installed yet. I'll move them to the top and we'll see what happens. @ prathapml: That's cool stuff... def will come in handy Thanks for all the help so far all... I'll post results later tonight as I'm burning a new image now.

can't wait... should be insane... PCGamer has a 10 page spread about it in this months issue

what size is your powersupply? I'm sure that might be fritzing, and when it does, it can cause all sorts of hardware problem, not limited to frying components

i'm a big fan of the antec super lanboy case http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=15001 i'll try to take some pics when I get home tonight

the easiest way you could accomplish this. 1. create a cmd file (i.e. startmenu.cmd) consisting of MOVE "%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE Professional\Ad-Aware SE Professional.lnk" "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\System\Ad-Aware Professional.lnk" RD "%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE Professional" /s /q and add that to your runonce, for example here: REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Ad-Aware Pro" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "C:\Install\aawsepro.exe /S" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 2 /D "taskkill /IM Adaware.exe /F" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 3 /D "taskkill /IM hh.exe /F" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 4 /D "taskkill /IM Ad-Aware.exe /F" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 5 /D "startmenu.cmd" /f

how are you attempting to install windows? are you booting from the CD, or are you just inserting it in your cd-rom drive while in windows?

yeah, that way seems much easier

ad-aware only installs in the current user's profile, it does not install to all users. You could make folders in your $1 directory and rather than copy the programs and shortcuts etc.. over, you could have them in the %allusersprofile% directory already $1 > Documents and Settings > All Users > Start Menu > (copy over ad-aware installation folder to here) hope that makes sense

i don't really care too much about total removal... i don't plan on uninstalling firefox anytime soon anyway. The only way I would remove it is if I had to do a clean install of windows, so it wouldn't matter at that point. I'll mess around with it a little more and see what I come up with. I hate having to burn CDs to test this... stinks not having something like vmware or virtual PC... oh well, blanks don't cost that much anyway

if I doubleclick on the MSI for firefox within windows, it just runs like any attended install would. It asks what type of install etc.. and it installs correctly. The thunderbird.exe is just an SFX, and the comment is correct. When I extract that and run, it also runs as an attended installation. I just can't figure out why it would say an install is currently running, when nothing is. I guess my next step would be to either use the different methods that prathapml suggested, or maybe move around the firefox and thunderbird files, maybe put them as the last thing to install. Any other thoughts or ideas?

As promised, here's my runonce code: I removed some stuff like the CDROM detection, plus the cleanup stuff at the end.

Thanks for the help

i'll give those a shot as well if I can't get this working.... I was so close to having a perfect uA cd... oh well, I'll just keep on plugging

I have been busy perfecting my uA CD , so that's why i've been away for a little bit. I'm at work now. I'll post my runonce when I get home.

so I'm using the silent thunderbird EXE found here and the silent firefox MSI totoymola made here in my runonce, both come up with an error saying that an install is already running, please wait and run after it has finished. I checked and rechecked my numbering scheme to make sure I wasn't calling 2 MSI's simultaneously and I'm not. If I run the files off the CD while in Windows, I don't have any problems... I have other MSI's that run back to back in the CD, and I only get the error when firefox and thunderbird are attempting to be installed. Any thoughts?

I'd have to agree... I never had many problems. I assume most problems came about because people installed those fun programs by gator, and other wonderful spyware programs

that's really strange... i've never had it ask me for CD2. Are you installing parts of office that aren't on CD1?

i knew this wasn't gonna a easy fix, but I was just seeing if you guys had suggestions for things I hadn't thought of yet. I'll have him run a memcheck, and check his drivers as well

that's right... i completely forgot about event viewer I know he doesn't have a space heater pointing at his computer I'll also have him check the killswitch. I think the lowest I've ever any kill switch set to is 50'C, so I'll have him check that. I've never heard of bad ram causing a boot disk failure, but I guess there's a first for everything Thanks for the help

I'm pretty sure he's using the 80 pin cable, but I'll doublecheck that. using AMD proc, the system fan speed is thermally controlled by the power supply, so I'll see about hooking it to a regular molex connector. Strange is that the computer has run for about 2.5 years without a hitch, and now it's running into problems. Thanks for the help, and if anyone wants to chime in, go for it.

office shrink should def not be mach specific. I'm using and have installed on multiple systems without a hitch... One thing you could try is to take the "-" out of the switch .... transforms="silent.mst" /qb- That switch hides errors. If you remove it, any errors in the installation should pop up.

This was discussed some time ago... found it in a quick search. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=28635&hl=

A buddy of mine has a computer which is spontaneously crashing on him every so often. at first I thought it was temperatures which caused an auto shutdown, but now i'm not so sure. Now it's just shutting off every 10-20 minutes, and sometimes, when he reboots, he gets the following screen: CPU Temp: 47c/116f System Fan Speed: 1622 RPM 3.3(v): 3.31v +12 (v): 12.16v -5(v): -4.99v CPU Fan Speed: 2812 RPM CPU voltage: 1.74v +5(v): 4.94 -12(v):-12.36 Verifying DMI Pool Data..... Boot from Atapi CD-Rom..... Boot from Atapi CD-Rom..... DISK BOOT FAILURE; INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER I know the CPU temp is a tad high, but it is def not high enough to cause this crash... my initial thought is that the hard drive is bad, however if he reboots a couple times, he gets past the diskboot failure and it loads windows OK. The strange thing is that he's left it running all weekend and it's never crashed, but if he uses it, it will crash hard on him. What y'all think? I've suggested he back up his data to be safe, but any headway into what could be causing these reboots would be sweet.

hello durex... welcome to unattended anonymous. I am also a member.

astalavista meant bashrat's driver packs... it's basically a collection of drivers that is referenced by windows during setup for multiple pieces of hardware starts here: http://www.btsunattended.net/EN/DriverPacks/index.htm

how are you installing this? is this an silent install? if so, what switches are you using?
