Thanks for the reply Bacd, Alas, yes I tried the normal command box to test it, I get the same thing. Few seconds of activity, then nought. The ISS was created using the -r (or /r) and is in the same dir as the exe. Have tried it with and without the -f1 stuff. I haven't tried putting it in the $OEM$ as yet - mainly because I still can't even get it to work from the command line, even off HDD, and partly because I REALLY want it to install from the CD. Appreciate the suggestions though... I'll keep toying with runonce and screaming at my PC, hopefully one of those actions will get it working. If you think/hear of anything else, would appreciate it if you could post in another reply. Cheers, Si.

I've already made a post or 2 about this, not getting any replies as yet. Here goes number 3. Installshield applications are NOT installing when using runonceex.cmd This is my command: REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "3D Mark 2003" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Appz\3DMark03\3DMark03.exe -s -f1\"%CDROM%\Appz\3DMark03\setup.iss" -f2\"%systemdrive%\3DMark03.log\"" /f I have tried this with and without the /a (even though /a was NOT needed for creating the ISS file) I have also tried without the -f1/ string. In all cases, there is a few seconds of HDD activity and then nothing. The applications this specifically relate to are 3dMark 2003 and 2005. I cannot extract the installers any further using any versions of 7zip or winrar or anything. Other installers, such as WISE, work perfectly. PLEASE HELP!

Howdy folks, long time reader, firt time poster. Have tried to avoid asking but cannot find references to this anywhere at MSFN.org. I have an unattended installation package consisting of just a few applications we use in house for system testing. Among these are the trilogy of 3d Mark apps. However they do not appear to be installing - in fact none of my installshield apps will install. My runonceex looks as thus: REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "3D Mark 2003" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Appz\3DMark03\3DMark03.exe -s -f2\"%systemdrive%\3DMark03.log\"" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "3D Mark 2003 Update" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Appz\3DMark03\PATCH\3DMark03_Patch330.exe -s -f2\"%systemdrive%\3dmark03ptch.log\"" /f REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "3D Mark 2005" /f REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Appz\3DMark05\3DMark05_v100_installer.exe -s -f2\"%systemdrive%\3DMark05.log\"" /f My other, non-installshield apps work fine, so it's not a path problem... The installshield ones have the ISS created and in the same DIR as the .EXE... they also create the log file, but nothing else on the HDD. Log file contains no errors that I can see. The installation appears to be doing something (long pause before going to next app in the list). I've tried pre-extracting them but cannot do so (and i didn't have to use the /a to make the ISS file anyway). Anyone installed these from CD before when using runonceex? Howd you do it? I've heard mention of a -f1 switch but not sure what it does or how I add it in with the correct syntax... If someone can edit just 1 of the examples above and post back what they think will work, I'd be a happy, grateful man! Cheers all!
