Can some one please post a simple guide, explaining exactly hoe you add extra programs to an unattended instal, i know theres information all over the place, but some of them dont even work! Theres a tutorial on how to do this, on this very site, the one with the copy.archiovs, but icant seem to get this to work, (maybe im typing my syntax wrong?) ok, heres my beef, Im doing the unattended install, as you know, but when im typing my syntax, it doesnt seem to be working. the operating system install silently but it doesnt delete the desktop shortcuts or add any installed programs. This is what i type e:\setup.exe /msbatch.inf /id /is /iw And then leave it Im not entirley sure what or where im supposed to type in the msbatch file, i just want it to open and run a .bat file during installation. From there i can do the arkward bit of typing all the switches, (see, i have searched) If anyone could provide a decent, follow-able guide, id be so grateful, Steve
