Thanks a lot Sonic, reaaaally appreciated your help ! This is exactly what I was looking for

Hi I need a little help with taskkill and advanced batch file. Want i want to do in my batch (lauching during runoncex.cmd; 1st logon) is: 1. deleting some reg keys (no pb with this) 2. executing launch of ms outlook express (msimn.exe) 3. killing msimn.exe task 4. writing some entry in registry 5. end of batch Her's my actual method, eveything is ok excepting step 3 (killing msimn.exe). Echo step "n" is not in my real batch just put this here for a better reading of my batch. My problem is with "step2 & 3" outlook is launch, but wait until i close it myself, so step 3 is not execute "properly" (and so step 3 is unusefull!), so how to launch OE AND after a few second closing OE automatically into the same batch ??? I tried something like "msimn.exe && taskkill /F /IM msimn.exe" but this don't work... OE is open and wait for "human click"... Any idea ?

Hum... I admit I don' try what you mean..., I mean hexedit "somefiles in bootfolder" for changing path to txtsetup.sif, of course I used the hexedit method for changing path in setupldr.bin and modifiying Textsetup.sif (SetupSourcePath). But the problem is not to install windows (in my case), install went fine, no pb ! Excepting when installing recovery console with "winnt32 /cmdcons /unattended" without putting txtsetup.sif into windows\system32, bring an error msg blabla don't find txtsetup.sif.... I mean "winnt32" is winnt32.exe located into "systemdrive" (let's say generally C drive) \windows\system32\winnt32.exe" or in: DVD\I386 path\winnt32.exe So I don't think boot folder is used by commandline: winnt32 /cmdcons /unattended; because winnt32 is not present in boot folder but in windows\system32 or dvd\I386 folder. I think and hope there's a solution like adding a switch to the commandline something like this: winnt32 /cmdcons /unattended /L:%path%\txtsetup.sif Unfortunatly I've never see anything like this (i've search a lot on google, msdn forum... i've found nothing), maybe there's an undocumented "winnt32 switch" but I never find it. Maybe there's another "trick" to do ? But I never find it, that's why I post here... because here there are many really good poweruser of multiboot technics ^^ Any other idea or trick around there ?

I had this problem too probably because I also use "provide defaut" in winnt.sif. But I manage to bypass this pb with "sysoc manager" with a txt file and a little cmdline execute in runonceex stage. -> Components.txt -> Components.cmd -> Runonceex.cmd: Works really fine at leat for me

Hi I used gosh method (winnt32 /noreboot) form making my boot folder, I put txtsetup.sif & winnt.sif into their respective boot folder; and deleted txtsetup.sif & winnt.sif from "i386". Everything is working fine excepting Unattended installation of Recovery console (in runonceex stage). Probleme is IF txtsetup.sif is NOT present into "i386" -> recovery console install don't find txtsetup.sif and can't install it, error msg (popup) appear and I can indicate path of txtsetup.sif (boot folder/txtsetup.sif). I wonder if anybody has a solution for this ? My dir structure: 3 boot folder pointing to the same I386 dir; I use different txtsetup.sif and winnt.sif in each boot folder. / /Setup/XPUA/$OEM$/$1/D --->(Driverspack by bashrat) /Setup/XPUA/$OEM$/$1/install/runonceex.cmd /Setup/XPUA/i386 ---> (no winnt.sif and txtsetup.sif inside!) /XPCL -> boot files gosh method (redirect to /Setup/XPUA) /XPNL/txtsetup.sif (original from i386) install NOT unattended /XPCL/SYSTEM32 /XPNL -> boot files gosh method (redirect to /Setup/XPUA) /XPNL/txtsetup.sif (same ver as XPCL txtsetup.sif) + winnt.sif (no btpack/oempnp, etc...) /XPNL/SYSTEM32 /XPUA -> boot files gosh method (redirect to /Setup/XPUA) /XPNL/txtsetup.sif (driverpacked) + and winnt.sif fully modified for driverspack etc... /XPUA/SYSTEM32 So I386 doesn't contains any txtsetup.sif or winnt.sif, these files are on their respective boot folder. But when i call these cmdcons with cmdline in my Runonceex: %cdrom%\Setup\XPUA\i386\winnt32 /cmdcons /unattend Setup don't find txtsetup.sif (don't remember the exact msg but "don't find txtsetup.sif" blabla) I can "Browse" for indicate the path of txtsetup.sif (pointing to boot folder/txtsetup.sif) so install resume and finish... IF i put txtsetup.sif into /Setup/XPUA/i386, no error msg appear during (runonceex) installation of recovery cons. RC is installed well unattended. But "my" txtsetup.sif had differents content (XPUA has driverpack; XPCL and XPNL has the original txtsetup.sif from XP) so i'd really like to use "external" txtsetup.sif... So my real question is... Is there any method or trick to bypass this problem ?

Yes off course, I've do that on a second dvd (without optimise), like this i'm safe. But if there a solution to "embed" a txtsetup.sif path into "winnt32 /cmdcons /unattended" it would be a better solution, because my dvd is still full. And I don't like "optimise" file functionality, I had pb with this in the past (certain dvd drive were "unhappy" with optimize function). It's reaaally dissapointing to see that MS has no "winnt32 switch" for specifing path of txtsetup.sif !ù*$€!!

Hi ! My UADVD works fine, my last "challenge" is to have one "Setup\I386" but with different boot folder like: XPUA = unattended with runonceex + full bashrat driverspack (and then txtsetup.sif modified a lot by driverpack (method1)) XPNL = normal xp install with a few things unattended (runonceex "a little") and no bashrat driverpack. XPCL = same as XPUA (unattended with runonceex winnt.sif) but no driverpack. Dir structure: / /---Setup /---Setup---/SOFT -> (all my apps installed by runonceex.cmd are here) /---Setup---/XPUA (bootfiles like bootfont.bin; WIN51...) /---Setup---/XPUA/$OEM$ /---Setup---/XPUA/$OEM$/$1/D (Driverspack by bashrat) /---Setup---/XPUA/$OEM$/$1/install/runonceex.cmd /---Setup---/XPUA/i386 (no winnt.sif and txtsetup.sif inside!) /---Setup---/XPUA/i386/SVCPACK /XPCL -> boot files gosh method (redirect vers /Setup/XPUA) /XPCL/txtsetup.sif "original" and winnt.sif UA /XPCL/SYSTEM32 /XPNL -> boot files gosh method (redirect vers /Setup/XPUA) /XPNL/txtsetup.sif "original" and winnt.sif /XPNL/SYSTEM32 /XPUA -> boot files gosh method (redirect vers /Setup/XPUA) /XPUA/txtsetup.sif and winnt.sif with driverspack) /XPUA/SYSTEM32 All of this works fine ^^ *but* here's my problem: For these 3 install, i use runonceex and all works fine, except... installation automatic of recovery console who don't find txtsetup.sif, entry in runonceex.cmd is: REG ADD %KEY%\011 /VE /D "Console de Recuperation" /f REG ADD %KEY%\011 /V 1 /D "%cdrom%\Setup\XPUA\i386\winnt32 /cmdcons /unattend" /f REG ADD %KEY%\011 /V 2 /D "%cdrom%\SETUP\SOFT\console.exe" /f remember my I386 dir contain no txtsetup.sif and winnt.sif, these files is on their respective boot folder. IF i put txtsetup.sif onto I386 : /---Setup---/XPUA/i386\txtsetup.sif no pb that works fine ! But i'd like to use the txtsetup.sif from each "boot folder" (xpua; xpcl; xpnl) ; because txtsetup.sif from XPUA contains entry for XPUA with driverpack. And if I put it into Setup/I386, XPNL & XPCL (boot file) will also use this same txtsetup.sif, and i think this not a good idea... So is there a way (winnt32 commandline) to indicate wich txtsetup.sif must be used with "winnt32 /cmdcons /unattend"... Batch file with var or other solution, but how ?

Hi ! I had the same pb due to SR desactivation. In fact i've found a "easy" solution, using the Windows Media Player deployment pack (EDP) you can repack the installer (unattended) including your hotfix and regtweak. FAQ: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsme...loypackFAQ.aspx DL: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsme...deploypack.aspx It works fine

Ok, working command line is: Backslash resolve this problem ^^ BIG Thanks again to all of you for your help and offer

Thanks guys for all your reply :-) I'll test this tomorow and post my result here of course. ps: didn't know the backslash trick at the end of the command line....

Hi ^^ Real and Quicktime alternative could be installed with ini file. 1. launch real or quicktime alternative setup with this switch: -MakeUnattended eg. setup.exe -MakeUnattended 2. Follow installer and choose your option, every choice will be put in a single ini file, nothing is installed... this is just for creating ini file used by unattended install. ini file is: qtalt.ini or realalt.ini depending of chosen product launch with -MakeUnattended For installing: realalt144.exe" /silent /LoadInf=".\realalt.ini" (this is an example) Ok all of this works fine in cmd prompt but do nothing in RunOnceEx.cmd !!!!! Sometime depending on wich cmd i've tried soft has been installed silent but not with my options present in my ini file. In fact, i've tried many command line in RunOnceEx.cmd and none of them works like it should (pffff sorry french translation inside lol) --> my dir structure: \ (root) \SETUP\SOFT\Quickalt\quickalt163.exe \SETUP\SOFT\Quickalt\qtalt.ini \SETUP\SOFT\Realalt\realalt144.exe \SETUP\SOFT\Realalt\realalt.ini \SETUP\XPUA\$OEM$\$1\install\RunOnceEx.cmd qtalt.ini realalt.ini RunOnceEx.cmd I've tried many command line none of them works in runonceex.... eg. REG ADD %KEY%\025 /V 3 /D "%cdrom%\SETUP\SOFT\Realalt\realalt144.exe" /silent /LoadInf="%cdrom%\SETUP\SOFT\Realalt\realalt.ini"" /f REG ADD %KEY%\025 /V 4 /D "%cdrom%\SETUP\SOFT\Quickalt\quickalt163.exe" /silent /LoadInf="%cdrom%\SETUP\SOFT\Quickalt\qtalt.ini"" /f or REG ADD %KEY%\025 /V 3 /D "\%cdrom%\SETUP\SOFT\Realalt\realalt144.exe\" /silent /LoadInf="%cdrom%\SETUP\SOFT\Realalt\realalt.ini"" /f REG ADD %KEY%\025 /V 4 /D "\%cdrom%\SETUP\SOFT\Quickalt\quickalt163.exe\" /silent /LoadInf="%cdrom%\SETUP\SOFT\Quickalt\qtalt.ini"" /f or REG ADD %KEY%\025 /V 3 /D "%cdrom%\SETUP\SOFT\Realalt\realalt144.exe" /silent /LoadInf=".\realalt.ini"" /f REG ADD %KEY%\025 /V 4 /D "%cdrom%\SETUP\SOFT\Quickalt\quickalt163.exe" /silent /LoadInf=".\qtalt.ini"" /f or REG ADD %KEY%\025 /V 3 /D "\%cdrom%\SETUP\SOFT\Realalt\realalt144.exe\" /silent /LoadInf=".\realalt.ini"" /f REG ADD %KEY%\025 /V 4 /D "\%cdrom%\SETUP\SOFT\Quickalt\quickalt163.exe\" /silent /LoadInf=".\qtalt.ini"" /f Did someone had the good command in runonceex for doing this ? Please help or I'll become crazy with this !%µ$€!!! command line.......! ps: sorry for my bad english

A little tips...... Silent switch = ELIv1_0.exe /S To Xpero and Seven Alive: thanks for your good work ^^

Hi I have exactly the same problem, with probably the same "file structure".... I mean Office 2003 sp2 with mst file (or not) made with an admin install, ork, etc.... "OK or Cancel" when adding a components, arrrgh ! Did someone had a solution for this ? EDIT: You must remove any hidden attributes to all dir/files in your Office 2003 setup That's why installer couldn't find files to add during "adding/modifying" office post installation. but this works ONLY if your slipstreamed setup is on the hard disk !!! Then you can add*/modify office installation. If you burn it to cd/dvd this is always the same problem ("OK or Cancel" when adding/suppressing a components)... there's a solution look at this post: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=51225 Not so easy to do, but it works fine don't forget to label your cd/dvd "OFFICE11" otherwise it won't work. Good luck

Ok here's my method.... CDXP --$OEM$ ----cmdlines.txt ----cmdlines.reg ---$OEM$ -----------$1 --------------install --------------RunOnceEx.cmd --I386 ----winnt.sif 1. In cmdlines.reg i put ALL my tweak, including off course the "Stop System Restore Service": 2. In cmdlines.txt i put this line: 3. In my RunOnceEx.cmd I import a second time my reg tweak: Obviously this regtweak.reg contains also the strop SR tweak:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\srservice] "Start"=dword:00000004 4. Into winnt.sif put these line: Here' a little part of my winnt.sif for example: that's it, and its works fine ^^

winnt.sif method works fine and really easy to do: And in my regfile (cmdlines.txt) I also add the regkey for stopping the SR service. That's it at least for me.....

Aaah ok, this explain the error message box when i tried ^^ Thanks a lot for your reply, very useful for me (at least lol)

Thanks for your reply but i know all this link ^^ SP1 / SP2 have different files, so it's not 100% working. Sp2 (unrar) had this file: OWC102003SP2ff.msp, and I don't know how to well slipstream it.... "SP1 Guide" cmdline is working for: MAINSP2ff.msp OWC11SP2ff.msp but not for OWC102003SP2ff.msp So if anyone know how to perfectly slipstreaming sp2 into off2033 (including OWC102003SP2ff.msp) it would be great ^^ That's why in my last post I asked (with SP2) for proper cmd line and order.... ps: sorry for my poor english...

Hi ! Anyone knows how to slipstreming "fullsp2" into off2003 admin install ? admin install: setup /a blabla then I tried in a cmd file: working: MAINSP2ff.msp /a D:\off2003\PRO11.msi SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /qb working: OWC11SP2ff.msp /a D:\off2003\OWC11.MSI SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /qb doesn't work: OWC102003SP2ff.msp /a D:\off2003\OWC11.MSI SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /qb i also tried : OWC102003SP2ff.msp /a D:\off2003\OWC11.MSI SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /qb and OWC102003SP2ff.msp /a D:\off2003\PRO11.msi SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /qb so my *real* question is: what is the exact cmd line and proper order to do this ?
