I installed blackice with the -r switch to get a setup.iss file (it doesn't restart, but I wanted to choose some options), but the setup.iss didn't get created in my windows file. In fact, I also searched across my C, D, E HD's and it is not there. Any suggestions? Thanks ]Bonkers[

Try using cmdlines.txt ]Bonkers[

AaronXP: good idea, but how do I delete the batch file that deletes the folders :S What I have done is, took the deleting of the folders out, and created a reg in Runone to delete my two folders (Installs, Drivers) after my reboot. But how do I delete the bat file after it deletes ? Thanks ]Bonkers[

A little update... I changed xcopy to XCOPY /E /Q (thanks bigred for the idea. I will implement that on my next try and give an update). Also, bigred, thanks for the help on my regtweaks ( ) (it was my error, a typo at almost 3 AM, OMG! how did I miss it). I do have a nic card, and the drivers work. If I double click cleanup.bat, shutdown.exe works... so I am not sure why it is missing it during the unattended mode. Anyone: any ideas why my second dir, Drivers, isn't deleted. I check spelling (copied and pasted folder names to be 100% sure). Thanks ]Bonkers[

Not sure if this will work or not. but here she goes. Specifies whether to install the Volume Control feature on the computer. Syntax vol = On | Off Values On Installs the Volume Control feature on the computer. Off Does not install the Volume Control feature on the computer. Default Value On Example Vol = On Registry Subkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Setup\OC Manager\Subcomponents\vol ]Bonkers[

Ok, let me see if I get this right... you want to install some hotfixes (like in unattended mode), restart, and then after the restart (and all the hotfixes have been installed correctly) copy some system files? If this is the case then: Create a system_U.reg file and (for this example) put it in C:\installs\ Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce] "system_U"="C:\installs\system_U.bat" and then in your last bat file (I guess the hotfixes, but it doesn't matter), type this: regedit.exe /s C:\installs\system_U.reg. Then create a system_u.bat file to copy over all your system files. So basically what happened was, your last bat file, put a registry entry in the registry, to run system_U.bat after the reboot. ]Bonkers[

No worries, sometimes if you haven't seem a post about it, knowing the proper search words can be a tough one. ]Bonkers[

I have been tweaking my winxp cd (typos etc., files names different from batches , etc.) and I still have a problem. I have tried and tried and still with no luck can't figure it out. My winnt.sif My apps.bat, updates.bat and hotfixes.bat run fine with no problems. It is cleanup.bat where all my problems are occuring. I don't believe that my RegTweaks.reg was run, but my stat_bar.vbs seemed to work (at least the popbox showed up). As for my themes being copied, nope doesn't happen. They are in Installs\Themes\Sub Dir for each theme and they don't get copied. The default wallpapers I believe have been deleted, but my wallpapers aren't copied over. They are in Installs\W_paper\(various jpgs = not a file, just stating that I have jpgs in that folder). Screensavers are gone! Menu shortcuts have been deleted! The folder Installs is deleted, but not drivers. and shutdown.exe doens't work. (yet, if I double click my batch file, the 60 sec countdown works). Any ideas why these things are occuring. (I checked spelling, I can't see it being that). Thanks ]Bonkers[

quya: I couldn't get the longer code to work so I used and that worked. Thanks ]Bonkers[

Can someone explain what I should do then to fix my problem of it not creating an account for me Thanks ]Bonkers[

Bachus: Thanks Everyone: is there a work around this so that I won't Thanks ]Bonkers[

guya: thanks for the explaination of your file. I do have a problem though with it though. I can't seem to get it to create my username. Here is what I have done. under my oem folder I have cmdlines.txt and users.cmd cmdlines.txt [COMMANDS] "USERS.CMD" (is the .\USERS.CMD different???) users.cmd @Echo Off reg export "hklm\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion" anyfilename1>nul find /n "RegisteredOwner" anyfilename1>anyfilename2 FOR /F "tokens=2 delims==" %%i in (anyfilename2) do set FName=%%i set FName=%FName:~1,-1% net user "%FName%" /add>nul net localgroup administrators "%FName%" /add>nul del anyfilename1 del anyfilename2 any idea why it isn't working? Thanks ]Bonkers[

I was reading the thread and I still am not sure on a couple of things. dansar: What I am trying to do is have say Windows and Program files on my C:\ partition and E:\ will be for Documents and Settings. 1. will it just registry the path there (and not create any of the default folders like it normally does (my music, my pictures)) 2. Set the path there but create the default layout (my music, my pictures) and overwrite my files 3. See my username ]Bonkers, and create Bonkers%Compname& 4. Or something else I can't think of Thanks ]Bonkers[

Hey guya: Would that still be possible? I have kinda an idea what is going on, but still a little clueless. What does anyfilename do? Thanks ]Bonkers[ Would that still be possible

If I go [GuiUnattended] ProfilesDir="X:\Documents and Settings" will it create the default layout overwritting my files? What I am trying to do is create a partition on my HD and have it store my Documents and Settings, this way I don't have to transfer my music, ebooks, etc. from my active partition to my default. So is it possible to see, Documents and Settings for say user ]Bonkers[ and no create anything? ]Bonkers[

quya: I have a question for you then. Could you explain your code (line by line ???) @Echo Off reg export "hklm\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion" anyfilename1>nul find /n "RegisteredOwner" anyfilename1>anyfilename2 FOR /F "tokens=2 delims==" %%i in (anyfilename2) do set FName=%%i set FName=%FName:~1,-1% net user "%FName%" /add>nul net localgroup administrators "%FName%" /add>nul del anyfilename1 del anyfilename2 better so that I could add some code to copy my "favourites" folder to Document Settings\User Thanks ]Bonkers[

Could someone verify the $Doc folder. (I checked another site on the similar topic and they didn't mention that folder either.) ]Bonkers[

devil270975: good call. What I did was ask myself during the install (so, no its not unattended but oh well), whether or not I wanted to install Zone Alarm Pro, if I said Yes, then I don't install the pop-up blocker, if I say no, then it installs the popup blocker. Thanks for all the reponses ]Bonkers[

Thanks Pzyko, I just saw that last night on google.com. I am going to wait until it is out of beta till I install. For now I am going to try and install the ad blocker I have and see if I can just add registration to the registry. Philip

Thanks guys for your replies, but I still prefer my ad blocker. (hehe). It is perfect for what I am doing! I will keep looking and try and find something that suits me better, or work on this pop-up blocker and see if I can get it to work. ]Bonkers[

Again, kinda off topic (asking for software), but the current pop-up blocker I have will be too hard to use with an unattended install (because it uses call-phone registration). For a pop-up filter/killer, something small, and simple (no fancy features) and a bypass key that allows pop-ups (like hold control and click on a link, and the window will come up for sure). Also, it needs to install unattended (or with switches, you get the idea ) ]Bonkers[

Nah, thanks b0r3d, but I got the batch to work! The only change I needed to do was change Set /p %install%=Do you wish to install Zone Alarm Pro 4.0O(Y/N): to Set /p install=Do you wish to install Zone Alarm Pro 4.0O(Y/N) :

:BEGIN Set /p %install%=Do you wish to install Zone Alarm Pro 4.0O(Y/N) : If %install%==Y Goto YES If %install%==N GOTO NO Echo Please either say Y or N GOTO Begin :Yes ECHO Installing Zone Alarm Pro 4.0.123.012 ECHO Please Wait... Start /wait %systemdrive%\installs\Z_Alarm\zapsetup.exe /s /noreboot Goto END :NO ECHO You chose not to install Zone Alarm Pro 4.0 ECHO Now continuing with installation Goto END :END Will that work, any suggestions?

I was looking at the commands, but the thing I can't figure out is how to set the variable. http://siri.akershus-f.kommune.no/dos/dos_lives_on.htm. How do I set that up? ]Bonkers[
