1. What are the contents of the %systemdrive%\Install\AdobeReader7 directory? all that is in there is the reader7.msi and the .exe for Windows Journal Viewer which installs fine. 2. Have you tried running it with the /qb switch instead? Do any errors pop up if you run it with that switch? Will try that now 3. Are you trying to install from an administrative install point or just from what was extracted when the regular Reader 7 was run? Hmm, not sure what you mean by this, but i am installing from what was extracted when the regular Reader7 was run. I have used this msi file before though (just from some bat files) to remotely install it on some PC's and it works fine then.

HOw do i stop the prompts coming up after service pack 1 and 2 are (OfficeXP) are installed which says something along the lines of them being succesfully installed? YOu have to click ok before it will move onto the next application install. Here is the code that I using. REG ADD %KEY%\059 /VE /D "Office XP ServicePack1" /f REG ADD %KEY%\059 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\OXPWebComp\oxpsp1.exe /Q" /f REG ADD %KEY%\060 /VE /D "Office XP ServicePack2" /f REG ADD %KEY%\060 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\OXPWebComp\oxpsp2.exe /Q" /f

When RunOnceEx runs it doesn't come up with any problems with adobe Acrobat 7, but once it is all finished it just isn't installed. Can anyone see what is wrong with my code?? REG ADD %KEY%\055 /VE /D "Adobe Acrobat 7" /f REG ADD %KEY%\055 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\AdobeReader7\reader7.msi /qn" /f

Trying it now, thanks heaps. IF all goes well you won't hear back from me. Thanks again

what do you mean by start from scratch?

Thanks, that helped with that section anyway. But with the web componenets, if i add the cab file to the folder it is way to large and puts the size of the cd way to high. Is there anyway of getting around having the cab file witht he OWC10.msi file?

I am trying to install Oracle J Initiator through my RunOnceEx.bat file and it seems to install ok but it is not silent, a screen pop comes up saying "You are about to install JInitiator, do you want to continue" any ideas what the switch would be to stop this?? This is what I am using at the moment REG ADD %KEY%\056 /VE /D "JInitiator" /f REG ADD %KEY%\056 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Jinit\jinit11822.exe /qn" /f

No, i meant what i said, i just didn't explain very well I am running this bat file to ideally create and iso for Windows XP with SP1 like it says, but when I copy this ISO to a cd and run it on a PC, SP2 is installed and I can't for the life of me work out how when I am not instructing it to do this. Also, i can't find a folder anywhere in the XPCD directory that is called WINXP_SP1, or SP_2 for that matter, so I don't know where it is getting it from.

When I type command/? in a command line it says Any ideas? This dosn't mean much to me. So how come /Q would work but not /QB??

I am working on the files for an unattended install of Windows XP SP2 which where creted by someone else and I need to take SP2, out. The guy had created a bat file to create an iso image and he had one for SP2 and one for SP1 but they both install SP2. So does anyone know how I can fix this to only be installing SP1, are there files that need to be deleted? This is the code in the bat file that he is using to create the iso @ECHO OFF TITLE Creating ISO Image of Windows XP Professional ECHO. ECHO. ECHO Creating ISO... CDIMAGE.EXE -lWinXP_SP1 -t12/31/2002,12:00:00 -h -j1 -m -b"boot.img" XPCD %systemdrive%\WinXPCustom_SP1.ISO ECHO. PAUSE EXIT

Yeah I would do this but I need to take them off about 60 PC's so I there might be some script of something I could run from a command line or something??

Thanks, i tried these and ran it again, but for the office web components i get and error message "cann't find office1.cab" (I am running the OWC10.msi to install these) and for the service packs I get the error message "Command line option syntax error. Type command/? for help". Any idea what these problems come from? These are the sections of code from the RunOnceEx.exe file. REG ADD %KEY%\058 /VE /D "Office XP Webcomponents" /f REG ADD %KEY%\058 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\OXPWebComp\OWC10.msi /QB" /f REG ADD %KEY%\059 /VE /D "Office XP ServicePack1" /f REG ADD %KEY%\059 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\OXPWebComp\oxpsp1.exe /QB" /f REG ADD %KEY%\060 /VE /D "Office XP ServicePack2" /f REG ADD %KEY%\060 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\OXPWebComp\oxpsp2.exe /QB" /f Can you see anything wrong??

Does anyone know a way of remotely uninstalling windows games off a list of PC's??

HI, I don't want to install office itself but i do need to install the webcomponents and SP1 and SP2 for office. Can i run these from RunOnceEx? if so what switches would I need to use? Thanks

I need to install a program with the RunOnceEx, but usually when you install this program it has some prompts that need to be clicked on to move forward in the installation. What line of code is needed for this to run silently in the background? Thanks

Worked great - thanks

This is a little off track from the unattended cd, but i need to uninstall the windows games off a heap of pc's, is there any way of doing this remotely?

What do I need to do to stop the standard games being installed when I run my unattended windows cd??

Also what would the line have to be to be called from the runonceex.cmd file. At the moment for example there is a a command to install ad-aware which looks like this REG ADD %KEY%\054 /VE /D "Adware SE Personal" /f REG ADD %KEY%\054 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\AdAware\aawsepersonal.exe /S" /f This shows in a box that pops up. So to run the .bat file to register the ocx's and dll's what would the code need to look like?

Thanks for that, i am working on a previously set up (by the person in the job before me) unattended build and am not sure where runonceex even gets called from. Do you know where this may be called from??

Ok, i have added the oxc's etc to the $OEM$\$$\system32 folder. I have also added the batch file to the $OEM$ folder and this is what is in it regsvr32 /s msdatgrd.ocx regsvr32 /s msdatlst.ocx regsvr32 /s comcat.dll regsvr32 /s msstdfmt.dll regsvr32 /s mscomct2.ocx regsvr32 /s msadodc.ocx regsvr32 /s ccrpFD6.ocx regsvr32 /s ccrpDtp.ocx regsvr32 /s MSFLXGRD.OCX rem regsvr32 /s softphone.ocx @Echo Operation Completed. Is there any other other code that needs to go in this bat file?? Also I renamed it to a .cmd file as the other ones in the $OEM$ where in that file format (example RunOnceEx.cmd)

I am in the process of creating an unattended windows XP installation CD and I need to add to have this cd load some ocx's and dll's for MSDataGrid's, these will need to be copied to the system32 folder and then registered. I currently have a bat file that does this when run locally on a PC, but how do I go about adding this to the unattended CD?
