[Runonceex Not Working]

Thanks for some suggestions. I will have to try those and see what happens.

[Runonceex Not Working]

Hi everyone,

I have verified that the runonce.cmd file is being executed from the cmdlines.txt file. However, I do not know why the Adobe Acrobat 7 registry entries are not being put into the registry.

Here is my runonce.cmd file:

cmdow @ /HID
@echo off

FOR %%i IN (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 %%i:\cd.txt SET CDROM=%%i:

SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Adobe Reader 7" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\install\ar7\ar7.msi /qn" /f


EXIT

[Cmdlines.txt Not Working]

It still is not working and I do not know why. Any suggestions anyone?

[Cmdlines.txt Not Working]

It is on the root of the CD and I checked the rest of the folder path. Thats looks all right to me.

[Cmdlines.txt Not Working]

I put a test batch file in my cmdlines.txt as follows just to see if the cmdlines.txt was getting parsed or not:

[COMMANDS]
"test.bat"
"runonce.cmd"

Here is the test.bat file:

md %systemdrive%\test

Sure enough the test folder is being made so the problem must be with something in the runonce.cmd file. I made sure I had the cd.txt on the root of of the CD to make sure the CD-ROM variable works within the runonce.cmd file:

cmdow @ /HID
@echo off

FOR %%i IN (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 %%i:\cd.txt SET CDROM=%%i:

SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Adobe Reader 7" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\install\ar7\ar7.msi /qn" /f


EXIT

I don't know why it is still not working.

[Cmdlines.txt Not Working]

I would like to use the RunOnceEx method to install applications. However, it seems like the cmdlines.txt is not processed or the runonce.cmd file is not properly configured. I have made sure the cmdlines.txt and runonce.cmd files are in the $OEM$ on the root of the installationation CD and made the OEMPreinstall=Yes in the winnt.sif file. I do not know how come it is not working.

Here is my cmdlines.txt file:

[COMMANDS]
"runonce.cmd"

Here is my runonce.cmd file:

cmdow @ /HID
@echo off

FOR %%i IN (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 %%i:\CD.txt SET CDROM=%%i:

SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Adobe Reader 7" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\install\ar7\ar7.msi /qn" /f

EXIT

Here is my winnt.sif file:

[Ie6sp1 And Directx 9 Won't Install]

I have placed the ie6setup.exe in the svcpack along with the cab files and extracted Direct X 9 as well into the svcpack folder. Deleted the svcpack.in_ file and created a svcpack.inf file. Here is my svcpack.inf:

;Windows 2000
[Version] 
Signature="$Windows NT$"
MajorVersion=5
MinorVersion=0
BuildNumber=2195

[SetupData]
CatalogSubDir="\i386\SVCPACK"

[ProductCatalogsToInstall]

[SetupHotfixesToRun]
DXSETUP.EXE /SILENT 
IE6SETUP.EXE /Q:A /R:N 
MPSETUP.EXE /Q:A /R:N

I do not understand why they both do not get installed. It probably is something simple I am overlooking. Also here is my winnt.sif file that is placed in the I386 folder:

;SetupMgrTag
