Is it possible to boot the Unattended Installation from an USB-Pen, I'm considering buying an USB-PEN, but I need to know if I can use it to boot from and start the Unattended XP installation. I have been reading a little about Bart PE and the possibility with USB, but thats in a "beta" as far is I understood? Anyone know a better way to do this? Sincerly Svein Magne

I have downloaded the lates Citrix Program Neighbourhood v9.0 (Ica32Pkg.msi). It installs OK with the MSI file, I have searched the forum, but did not find anything about adding how to add applicationssets. Is it possible / does anyone know how to: - Add application set(s) - Set the "logon" options to Local User --> Pass-through authentication? SM

sigh.... I found the solution to my problems! ( http://unattended.msfn.org/global/reference.htm ) SM

When I have used sysprep, and are installing from the Unattended DVD I have created, I still get several prompts for things. I need to "remove" the following 8 prompts if its possible? 1) Display settings 2) Monitor Settings 3) Welcome to Microsoft Windows Thanks for purchasing Microsoft Windows XP Lets spend a few etc. 4) Help protect your PC 5) Chercking Internet Connection 6) Registrer with Microsoft 7) Who will use this computer 8) Username Is there somewhere in the sysprep file I can put in some info to get theese promts away? Hope anyone have a clue on how to get theese prompts "away".

Thanks alot Dahi! I got it working! SMI

Dahi: Thanks for fast reply, but I did not understand all of it.. FOR %%C 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 %%C:\WIN51 SET CDROM=%%C: 1) Is this setting the CDROM to C:? 2) Whats the purpose of the C:\win51 ? 2) Use FOR to detect the WIN51 file in your CD and set the CDROM variable to the drive letter. <-- The only thing that stands in my WIN51 file is Windows..

Hi! I'm new to the Unattended process, and I have some issues I hope someone can help me with. The case is: Under C:\WINXP\$OEM$\ i have the following files. cmdlines.txt cmdow.exe runonceex.cmd RUNONCEEX.CMD ============= cmdow @ /HID @echo off %path%;%CDROM%;%systemdrive%:\ 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 6" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\AdobeReader6\setup.exe /qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\040 /VE /D "MSN Messenger 7.0" /f REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\msn7\msn.exe /qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\045 /VE /D "Nero Burning ROM v6.3.1.23" /f REG ADD %KEY%\045 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %CDROM%\install\nero\nero.reg" /f REG ADD %KEY%\045 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\Nero\Nero63123.exe /silent /noreboot" /f EXIT The unattended works fine, until it comes to the RunOnce install after the first logon. My problem is when it's starting to Install the programs, I't can't find the install path, It tryes to install from C:\install\Adobe\setup.exe. I want It to install the programs from the DVD I have burned (CD/DVDROM\Install\Adobe\setup.exe). What am I doing wrong? I think it's somthing about the path, but I don't know what to use.. I tride %CDROM% ? hehe Or maybe I have put my Install files in the wrong folder? I have put them in $OEM$\$1\Install\appname\setupfile.exe ? Little confused here! Anyone see whats wrong?
