Stupid me, of course it wont work. Its being used in a batch so when the values are written to the regitry then they will contain the wrong variables I know for a fact because i tested it last night and nothing installed. Please can someone recomend a work around? If this can be run from Cmdlines.txt then i think that will solve it but can i run it that early? If not is there another way around this? Sorry for my urgency but i need to reformat tonoight if possible I got my OCZ Rev2's here

Dont think it is, i was wondering the other day and checked but it still said beta 1 on ms site, so i didnt know it had, hangon . Ok I remade it, with updated version, just going to test it Ok original post updated now on latest version http://rapidshare.de/files/753101/MSAnti-Installer.exe.html

Thanks for the information Go get it: http://rapidshare.de/files/753101/MSAnti-Installer.exe.html

I would like to see how your program deals with enclosed quotation marks ie having to use the escape char ( \" ) when nested quotations occur.

Thanks but i would like to get this one working. Just so i know the limitations because i have had a small and simple brainstorm. @echo off cmdow @ /HID SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Drive Letter Assignment" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\MapDrive.cmd ENU >%SystemDrive%\MapDrive.log 2>&1" /f FOR %%d IN (c: 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 REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing applications" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /VE /D "Mozilla Firefox 1.0 + Extensions" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Applications\Firefox\Firefox.exe /s" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Firefox\Setup.exe -MS -IRA" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 3 /D "%CDROM%\Applications\Firefox\Profile.exe /s" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 4 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Firefox\Firefox.cmd" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 5 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Firefox\Clean.cmd" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Logitech Setpoint for MX1000" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Applications\Setpoint\Setpoint-Installer.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "pskill.exe QuickTour2.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "Java 5.1 Runtime" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Applications\java\java11-Installer.exe /s" /f REG ADD %KEY%\012 /VE /D ".NET Framework 1.1 SP1" /f REG ADD %KEY%\012 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\$OEM$\$1\install\Applications\netframe\netfxsp11.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "Kerio Personal Firewall 4.1.2" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Applications\kpf\kpf412.exe /S /V\"/qn REBOOT=Suppress\"" /f REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "WinAmp 5.07" /f REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Applications\winamp\winamp.msi /qb-!

If i put mapdrive.cmd in $OEM$\$1\ then it will be copied to C:\. Then if i run it before the command to set my CDROM drive then there should be no problems because the: FOR %%d IN (c: 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 will pickup the cd drive letter after its been assigned Cant see no problems with this method, can anyone else before i try and implement it?

Sorry to revive a dead thread. I have been using this command file for my unattended windows Installs with no problems from RunonceEx. Now, im gonna be using my applications from CD and as durex has pointed out this may prove to be a hurdle, not if we can run the .cmd from cmdlines.txt Is this possible?

the psu for you is the X-Pro 460 watt. This comes cable sleeved, with orange cable braid, and has a LED 120mm fan, so its quiet and has a nice blue glow inside and out the back of your case. Also holds good rails. I got one and its the best PSU i have ever bought.

Yeah, i change my cmd window to be wider as i have a 17inch LCD. Setting my wallpaper by reg file for some reason doesnt work untill i manualy click apply when right clicking desktop, so hopefully this could sort it. Wonder if someone could test on VMware or VPC, i have not got either installed and its late here and have work in the morning. Thanks for sharing the wallpaper one. I took the .bmp from my application folder and put it onto my Windows OEM application folder and pointed to it using the .reg files. I did this before but pointed them to the .jpg in the Web folder in resources. Think my desktop should work automatically now. Thanks, let me know how you get on. I will also try but dont finish work untill 9pm tomorrow then will have to redownload VmMachine, and Daemon tools because my DVD ISO is large.

hi mate try this: Although the unattended site says you only need to call a .log file from running from CD, but i found installing GDATA antivirus kit didnt install even from HDD unless i specified a .log file. Try this PC.exe -s -f2"%systemdrive%\PCMark.log" That will make a .log file on C:\. Also make sure there was no .iss in C:\Windows before you record the installation. Hope this helps

Hi, I was basically browsing around my docs and settings folder to see if any other files saved any good data which i could use to be restored via using the OEM dist folders. in C:\Documents and Settings\MekerZ\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows\Themes I found a Custom.theme file, Now i know via Winnt.sif we can point to a .theme file (many thanks to greenmachine for his great tutorial) but i

Now as long as the file points to the .msstyles files (which it does) im thinking cant we shove this file using OEM folders that it could be an alternative to using winnt.sif? As windows reads and edits this file each time you make a change? Sorry if im barking up the wrong tree.

dont think they do. Because $OEM$ doesnt represent a location within the windows install. Also i remember once out of interest searching for my RunonceEx (in oem folder) to see if it needed deleting via batch file, but never found it. Either they get copied and deleted automatically (highly unlikely) or they are not copied over at all.

Well I ended up using an alpha channel anyway because that how i make my transparent CS:S sprays. So ive got it sorted, thanks

Hi, im trying to do this atm, but its not going transparent. Im going by Allanols, and SiMonSaYs idea of the 0,0 px and opposite corner colour being the ones representing the transparent colour and saving as 32bit bitmap. Anyone have ago for me? or tell me what i need to do? http://www.meknet.co.uk/oemlogo.psd

I tried this, but was a no go either. START /MIN %ProgramFiles%\Mozilla\Firefox\Firefox.exe -silent -nosplash -setDefaultBrowser START /MIN %ProgramFiles%\Mozilla\Thunderbird\Thunderbird.exe -silent -nosplash -setDefaultMail PING 127.0.0.1 -n 10>NUL TASKKILL /F /IM Firefox.exe TASKKILL /F /IM Thunderbird.exe Thanks i will try this now. Yes it only seems to haven after 1.05 upgrade, thats the only thing i hhave changed. Oh well, there is a solution.

Ok lads calm down. I know people should search but he seems to want to know what the key is doing, not just that it does what he wants. Here is a small explanation. The startup entries in windows XP are stored in different keys, you will find most of them in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Run, some of them may be in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Run because some programs may start up depending on what user logs on. Just check both of them for the ones which you want to remove. It cant be any simpler. Here is a screenshot of my registry. As you can see I have 3 things starting up when i logon. But what programs do they represent? Well the key give info to which program it is launching, and I have highlighted this with a red box. So I know the key for Microsoft Anti Spyware is gcasServe. So to stop it from starting up, i need to remove this from the registry. So how do you remove keys unattended from the registry? Well in note pad create the file like in the picture, with the key branch the key is stored in (in the picture that is [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Run]) and then the key we want to remove. To remove a key you put "keyname"=- (using - in regedit removes a value) Save this file as startup.reg and in a batch file or form runonceEx (after all the programs have installed) put REGEDIT /S startup.reg. Also guys, how do you remove startup programs which are called Common startup in msconfig? They dont seem to have registry keys, unless im being a moron . Do you remove them by removing the .lnk files fron the startup folder?

Coolermaster 201 = best case ever made.

Please post your winnt.sif in code tags and also a screenshot of your folder setup using the tree view in explorer.

Yup, thats just turns off the warning message, windows will still install any old WHQL drivers over any new betas.

Nice info there prathapml, although im having problems getting my head around this Now I only found this out the other day, just after doing a fresh install with my UA DVD. When I first came to MSFN, I was using the 66.93 latest WHQL drivers, and I tried to do it with the 71.20 extreme G drivers but my PC would not get into windows and generate an error daying driver nv4_disp.dll got stuck in a loop. By now I had still not discovered that you cannot add beta nvidea display drivers, and I have since added 71.21 drivers to my UA disk and last week I did a reformat using it, and the drivers installed! It was after that I read you supposidly couldnt add beta drivers, very weird.

Thats for network usage though, anyway i sorted it running it from a batch which aint a biggie.

Well for the problem i posted above, I have sorted it using a .cmd file. Seems to you cant run a installer which needs. iss from the config.txt. So to do what you want make a .cmd and include it in the Archive.7z setup.exe /switch /anotherswitch /wait REGEDIT settings.reg Then call the .cmd file from config.txt
