hello, My unattended install worked up to a point: when it came time to install the diffrent applications I has slipstreamed it said that it could locate the install file for them. I put the install folders for each program in the $1$ folder. example: C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1$\install\ECD C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1$\install\Alcohol Here is a copy or my RunOnce file. ********************************************************** @Echo Off rem PP=%SystemDrive%\Install\ SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Programs" /f REG ADD %KEY%\000 /VE /D "Alcohol 120%" /f REG ADD %KEY%\000 /V 1 /D "%SystemDrive%\Install\Alcohol\setup.exe /qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Google Toolbar" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%SystemDrive%\Install\GoogleToolbarInstaller.exe /s /qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /VE /D "Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 1 /D "%SystemDrive%\Install\PSP\JPSP8.msi /qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\003 /VE /D "Easy CD Creater 6.0" /f REG ADD %KEY%\003 /V 1 /D "%SystemDrive%\Install\ECD\SETUP.EXE /s /v\"/qr REBOOT=Suppress REBOOTPROMPT=S\"" /f EXIT *********************************************************** Do I have the stuff in a completely wrong folder ($1$) or do I just have to adjust my RunOne.exe? Thanks guys miche

right... I figured if the other program made it bootable and added the proper files then it wouldn't matter what program I used to burn the ISO...as long as i did it Disk-At-Once. So thats not the case?? I have Easy CD Creator on my pc (ya ya i know... but i am use to it and I like it) and it conflicks with Nero.... anything else I can do? miche

Ya OK no duh its not safedisc protected Asta... but there is no reason that i have seen or read that says that I can't use Alchohol 120 to burn my .ISO. As a matter of fact it is recommended on the http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/finish.htm site. I followed the directions for the site "CDImage is a command-line driven application developed by Microsoft to create an ISO image from a directory of files and folders. We have put together the tool, with the boot.bin file (to make your ISO file bootable), and a batch file that contains the necessary switches to create the ISO. This is a one-click ISO creation tool! " So I made it bootable...which it was. Thanks, MHZ I apreciate your responce...it looks alot more helpfull and could very well be the issue. I will give that a try

OK I got it to boot to the DVD and it started to look like it was going to run XP setup after it Loaded drivers and just before it got to the licence agreement it poped up with this interesting message... Please insert the disk labeled Windows XP Professional CD-ROM into drive A: press enter when ready. WHAT THE HECK HAPPEND??? miche

hello all, I put the files together, created the ISO with the CDImage Pro program and burned it to a DVD with Alchohol 120%. The DVD rom is the first boot device and when I try to Boot with the DVD Rom I get an "emulation Error" and it kicks out and goes to the next boot device in my sequence. any ideas on what went wrong or how to fix it??? thanks michelle

thanks, I get that part. Creating the .cmd file isn't the problem. I am trying to figure out if I need ALL the contents off the programs CD (be it PSP, NAV, Alchohol 120%) to make the install work. And if I just drop it all in the "Install" folder... or if inside the "Install" folder I should create a sub-folder for each application? michelle

I'm sorry this is a crappy newbie question.... if someone could throw me a bone I would greatly appreciate it. I'm at a wall and can't move on and start testing this thing untill I get passed it. Michelle

hello, Assuming I have all the switches correct in my RunOnceex.cmd file, that isn't enough to install the programs right? I would have to copy files from the actuall program CD into one of the folders in $OEM$. (is this right so far ;o) say for example i was going to load Paint Shop Pro 8.... I woudl have to copy the JPSP8.msi file. Where exactly do i stick this? Do I have to copy anything else, such as the TUBES folder? Your help is greatly appreciated i have been sitting infront of this screen for hours you know how it is thanks michelle

if your not going to add a user account (just have the default admin account) do you need to have the UserAccounts.cmd file in the $OEM$ folder? Or do you just leave it and it installs to the admin acount. What about the Autologon.reg? if your just using the default do you leave this out as well?? thanks for your help guys michelle

here we go ... i dug deeper and i think i get where to put the file and how to set it up. thanks for putting up with the newbie michelle

okay so i looked at that site again and i see the example... but i still don't see witch FOLDER I put this batchfile in that contains the commands to load the extra slipstreamed programs. So...... which folder do you put it in?? michelle

hello all, I read through the msfn site and I understand the Answer files, Program folders ($) and I know the basics of creating batch files, but here lies the question..... Which folder do I put the batch file in? I swear i didn't see that anywhere. also... Does anyone have an example of a batch file for a program that they slipstreamed that they could post? I just want to make sure I have the steps and syntax right. thanks ) michelle
