kicka**, thanks so much. clint

check your version of shutdown.exe, i had similar problems, and it had to do with the switches i was using behind your command, ie: shutdown.exe -r -f -t 60 -c clint

try setting your homepage. on the forth pic down, it shows your internet options, and your homepage is not set. that might work. clint

Hey Guys, Look what i found in my travels, a xml builder for xplode! i didnt know about it, so i figured maybe theres others who dont either. http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/mhayward/...ds/Xplosion.exe briar

Do alittle research into txtsetup.sif in the i386 folder. if i remember correctly the boot.bin ( the boot sector responsible for the message "Press any key to boot from cd" ) points to the txtsetup.sif file first. So my theory is you MAY be able to link to a cmd file from there. briar

Look into "autologon" and "autologoncount" for winnt.sif briar

Hello All, Does anyone know where i can find more information about the timeline windows 2000 follows during setup? Thanks in advance. briar

Was going to reply, when i just noticed you already solved it. good deal. briar

Thank you for your taking the time to reply with such an in-depth answer. seriously. But, i have actually tried that so many times, im sick of it. i have made 39 iso's so far with similar results, nothing. alot of the time my problem was with the actual RunOnceEx.cmd file itself. after i was actually able to get the thing to run, it gave me the errors about cmdow and reg.exe which i found answers to. After that it kept giving me the error message, "Too many command-line parameters". i never got to the bottom of that. i have read many of the tutorials about building automated cds and have tried many ways to get this to work. This is the only way i have found to work. when i run the file in windows, it adds to the registry. when i build the cd it works fine except for that stupid error. the program pops up on re-start and starts down the list, pausing at each one to spit an error at the screen, " path or file not found! C:\Install\Adobe Acrobat 6.msi". Do you mind looking at the .reg file and see if i set things up correctly? Briar

Hello All, I finally figured out a way to make the runonceex to work. i made a .reg file and set it to run under guirunonce under winnt.sif. i put the applications and the reg file in CD\$oem$\$1\Apps\. i have to restart to get it to work, but when i do, it does start but it gives me an error that says the path or file is not found. Please see the attached reg file and see if i screwed up anything. i checked the physical path and it is correct, i dont know what im missing. thanks briar
