Its there, so now what?

no, setup.exe or txtsetup.sif is not in my $OEM$ directory

Thanks, Im trying the first option first. You said that unattended setup doesnt need stup.exe? Then how come when I skipped it, it messed up my installations?

I tried my XPCD in vm and after it formated, when it is coping files it says that it can not copy 'setup.exe'. Right now I am looking into it but I would like any help (maybe this happened to somebody else before?) would be apreciated.

Thanks alot for the help. Would @start "" "/XPCD/$OEM$/Cleanup.bat" sufice for calling cleanup.bat in the RunOnceEx

Before I get started I just want to say that I have (unsuccessfully) searched the forums and google searched for my answers. 1. I know how to use vmware, but I was wondering how I would install my Unattended XP without making a CD? I only want to do this so that I can test my Unattended XP without having to make a CD and find out later that I messed up with something. I have found some topics on this forum but they did not help me. 2. I do not own a dvd burner so I did the 2 CD method but I am not sure about every thing from here. It says to make a first_boot.cmd (which I did with no problems with) but it is not completely clear on were to put it, I think it has to be in C:/XPCD2/$OEM$/$1/install/Applications, I just want to clear that up. Also, it mentions 'applications.cmd' which I never heard of. And then it mentions 'cd_eject.vbs' which I put in C:/XPCD2/$OEM$/$1/install/Applications, not sure if that is in the right place. 3. After I customized my OfficeXP, I got to the final screen and in the instructions(here) it told me to change: but when I try to do so, I am not aloud to.4. My last question is a simple one. After I made my RunOnceEx.bat, I made a Cleanup.bat file like it said I could. After doing so, I changed cmdlines.txt to [COMMANDS] "RunOnceEx.cmd" "Cleanup.cmd" is that the right decision? Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
