Anyone else having an issue with NAV2005 asking for you to activate again if you're using a symlcrst.dll file that was activated on a previous date? I activated on the 11th, at around 10 o'clock. Did a test install about a half hour later and it worked fine. Did a run after 12am, and it asked to be activated. Kai

Deleting *after* reboot is just preferrable to me, and I think I pulled an error because an installed program was still using the directory when I tried to set the delete to occur on the first boot up. This: SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY%\030 /VE /D "Delete Work Directory" /f REG ADD %KEY%\030 /V 1 /D "%windir%\system32\cmd.exe /c rd /s /q %systemdrive%\Install" /f shutdown.exe -r -f -t 0 Worked perfectly, thanks for the explanation. You were right, I had an entra set of quotes in my original command, 2 in front of %systemdrive% would've been right. Still worked, though. ^_^ Kai

Figure I may as well learn the long way around first. ^_^ Would be interested in seeing some examples though... I haven't been able to figure out how WinRar's SFX functions work yet. Kai

I managed to get it to work, and came across something I don't think I've seen posted here. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I set some pauses and just tried to add the username through useraccounts.cmd. Here's what I got: D:\XPDVD-KIKI\$OEM$>net localgroup Administrators "Kiki" /add System error 1317 has occurred. The specified user does not exist. Well, yah.. duh. I deleted the limited account before running it... of course it didn't exist. I thought maybe it didn't like the sequence of the letters or something, so I changed all instances of "Kiki" to "Test". Sure enough, it created the admin account just fine. So, does my computer not like my sister's name? I didn't think much of it, but I remembered that I set the "Computer Name" to "kiki" in winnt.sif, and decided to change it... just in case. Changed the names in useraccounts.cmd, and BAM!, now it's working. Coincidence, or can anyone else confirm that creating an account in this way will pull that error if the account name used is the same as the name of the computer? Kai

I wasn't actually using "User" as the account name... it was just an example. The cleanup.cmd file seems to be working ok, it does what it's supposed to do... what does "embedded quotes without escaping them" mean? And how would it effect the way another cmd file works? Kai

Still new to this, but I've been making considerable progress. Managed to get my first unattended install on my laptop working perfectly, so now I'm moving on to the desktop. The only thing I'm doing differently is adding more programs, and I would like to add in the WinXPTaskbar registry tweak. However, for one reason or another, the user account I defined in UserAccounts.cmd and Autologon.reg is being created as a limited account. When the programs defined in RunOnceEX start to install, they all pull lack of priviledge errors. I then have to log off the created account, into the passworded:( Here's what I've got, let me know if you see anything out of whack.

Hello. First time poster here, having a bit of trouble getting the control panel portion of this guide to work correctly. The display driver itself installs fine, but I'm probably missing something obvious when trying to get the cpanel to silently install. I'm not using any rar'ed files, just the extracted setup. Here's what I've got so far: Control Panel setup files are in this directory: \$OEM$\$1\Install\ATI\CPanel There is a setup.iss file already there, which I'm not sure if I should remove or keep or what. Cmdlines.txt file is in the \$OEM$\ folder. Here's what's in that: [COMMANDS] "RunOnceEx.cmd" RunOnceEx.cmd file is in the \$OEM$\ folder. Here's what's in that: IF EXIST %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\atiddc.dll REG ADD %KEY%\055 /VE /D "Catalyst Control Panel" /f IF EXIST %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\atiddc.dll REG ADD %KEY%\055 /V 1 /D "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Install\ATI\CPanel\Setup.exe /K" /f That's all I have in regards to the Cpanel stuff. I didn't enter anything else in the winnt.sif file, because I didn't use the rarsfx option. Is there something here I'm missing? Kai
