thanks . this is what i just did!! i just thought that the folder should not have been created !

SuperHidden tweak worked perfectly BUT a 1.2 GB is still wasted in the "C:\System Volume Information" folder even through System restore is disabled .

i used this reg code to show hidden files and folders: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "Hidden"=dword:00000001 but the result was over !! i need help to hide the files and folders surrounded by red . secondly: i used this code to disable system restore [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SystemRestore] "DisableSR"=dword:00000001 ;Disable System Restore Service [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\srservice] "Start"=dword:00000004 but the i found that the "C:\System Volume Information" is 1.2GB in size !! how can i prevent the from happening.

i solved the problem found that picasa added "LowerFilters" entry to the registry : [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}] and [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}] deleted the entries and everything was fine.

i did my unattended install and during the cleanup process i started mycomputer : the cd dom was there. then the computer restarted and the cdrom disappeared? any idea what could have happened?

thankx to all of you for helping me.

Yzöwl: shortcut and cmd file are both in the same path !

i used quotes but no use copy Picasa2.lnk "%AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\"

i created an sfx with the same code and works fine. all other still wont work..this code will always work as long as it is not in ran at startup. i pause the cmd file and found that the error was: the path c:\document was not found

the code is as follows: copy Picasa2.lnk "%AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\" after installing the app i copy the shortcut during the RunOnceEx.cmd as i said.

during the RunOnceEx.cmd i try to copy some shortcuts to quick launch folder so that they will appear in the quick launck after reboot ..but it fails !! i use a cmd file to do the copy. when i try it on my development PC it works fine but will always fail when i run in during my RunOnceEx.cmd. can anyone help?

thankx . it worked.

any idea of how to set "language for non-unicode programs" to a specific langauge automatically during winxp installation?

why my unatteneded office fails . i can run it and it wil install on my machine . BUT.. it will always fail and rollup on my Virtual PC no matter where i place in my RunOnceEX file.

i made an MST file. Shrank office and compressed with 7zip. NOW : office installes perefectly on my machine. BUT installation always rollup when run it MS virtual PC even though im using exactly the same package!!

here are my files * cmdlines.txt [COMMANDS] "RunOnceEx.cmd" "cleanup.cmd" * and my RunOnceEx.cmd cmdow @ /HID @Echo Off SET PP=%SystemDrive%\Install\ SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Programs" /f REG ADD %KEY%\004 /VE /D "Directx 9.0 C" /f REG ADD %KEY%\004 /V 1 /D "%PP%directx9c.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\009 /VE /D "Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0" /f REG ADD %KEY%\009 /V 1 /D "%PP%netfx.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\014 /VE /D "Sun Java 5 update 6" /f REG ADD %KEY%\014 /V 1 /D "%PP%java.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\019 /VE /D "Windows Media Player 10" /f REG ADD %KEY%\019 /V 1 /D "%PP%MP10Setup.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\024 /VE /D "Windows Movie Maker 2.0" /f REG ADD %KEY%\024 /V 1 /D "%PP%wmm20.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\029 /VE /D "MS Office 2003" /f REG ADD %KEY%\029 /V 1 /D "%PP%office.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\034 /VE /D "Acronis TrueImage 9" /f REG ADD %KEY%\034 /V 1 /D "%PP%acronis.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\039 /VE /D "Acrobat Reader7.05" /f REG ADD %KEY%\039 /V 1 /D "%PP%AR705a.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\044 /VE /D "CCleaner" /f REG ADD %KEY%\044 /V 1 /D "%PP%ccsetup125.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\049 /VE /D "Flashget 1.71" /f REG ADD %KEY%\049 /V 1 /D "%PP%Flashget.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\054 /VE /D "Flash & Shockwave Players" /f REG ADD %KEY%\054 /V 1 /D "%PP%flswplayer.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\059 /VE /D "Nero 6.6.0.18" /f REG ADD %KEY%\059 /V 1 /D "%PP%nerosetup.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\064 /VE /D "K-Lite mega codecs" /f REG ADD %KEY%\064 /V 1 /D "%PP%klite.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\069 /VE /D "Notepad ++" /f REG ADD %KEY%\069 /V 1 /D "%PP%npp.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\074 /VE /D "Paint .Net" /f REG ADD %KEY%\074 /V 1 /D "%PP%PaintDotNet.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\079 /VE /D "Picasa" /f REG ADD %KEY%\079 /V 1 /D "%PP%picasa.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\084 /VE /D "Switch Audio Converter" /f REG ADD %KEY%\084 /V 1 /D "%PP%switch.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\089 /VE /D "Winamp pro 5.12" /f REG ADD %KEY%\089 /V 1 /D "%PP%Winamp5.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\094 /VE /D "Winrar 3.51" /f REG ADD %KEY%\094 /V 1 /D "%PP%winrar.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\099 /VE /D "Windows Visual Styles" /f REG ADD %KEY%\099 /V 1 /D "%PP%Themes.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\099 /VE /D "Registry Tweaks" /f REG ADD %KEY%\099 /V 1 /D "%PP%REGEDIT /S %PP%tweaks.reg" /f EXIT BTW, i notice that windows copied the files during text mode of the process !!

unattended install goes fine but when i reach the stage where applicatons will be installed i get a msg saying that C:\install\APP NAME if not found!! what happened?

Does anyone know how to silent install ACE Mega Codec Pack 6.03 with professional configuration?

thankx. very useful.

i m talking about winamp and Switch audio converter. since i have ACDSee as my default icon viewer( + image viewer of course) then the shortcuts created will have the icons assigned by acdsee instead of the ones that are suppose to be. i allow MaSaI Installer to take a snapshot and then just edit whatever needed . Simple as that. One thing: i tried my repackaged application on a virtual PC and the shortcuts appeared fine.

i repackaged my an application using MaSaI Installer but after installing the repackaged app i find that the shortcuts created are not the correct ones even though the icons in the package are all fine.

you are right . Thankx .

i use this to install it: ACDSee 8.msi" /qn PIDKEY="xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxx"

i think then it would be better if we have only the original uninstaller since the msi will only install the files that the original installer will install.

Now with the msi edition : try to uninstall it from the uninstaller in the app directory then go to the control panel and you will see that the uninstall enrty is in the list . click remove and uninstaller loads again and uninstall winamp !! why is that?
