I have a problem with my unattended XP CD. I Have made a RunOnceEx.cmd and a cmdlines.txt file in my $OEM$ directory. the cmdlines.txt points to my RunOnceEx.cmd like this: [Commands] RunOnceEx.cmd In the WINNT.SIF file i have deleted the GuiRunOnce or whatever the name is When i start the RunOnceEx.cmd on my Local computer, it works and after reboot he tries to install the applications, but fails because they are not at the right place(is ok, because the are not there) My WINNT.SIF file looks like this at the points of OEM including: [Data] Autopartition = 0 FloppyLess = 1 MsDosInitiated = 0 UnattendedInstall = Yes [Unattended] UnattendMode = FullUnattended UnattendSwitch = Yes OemPreinstall = Yes OemSkipEula = Yes FileSystem = * WaitForReboot = No NoWaitAfterTextMode = 1 NoWaitAfterGUIMode = 1 TargetPath = Windows DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore NonDriverSigningPolicy = Ignore Hibernation = No I know there are other lines in WINNT.SIF, but they are not nessecary for that porblem. So i created an iso and started installation with VPC, everything worked, but after the second reboot the applications should be installed, but nothing happens. I looked on the harddrive in VPC and there is no install folder. Is this folder removed after the windows installation? Another point is my cmdow.exe, which is Placed in $OEM$\$$\system32\ but after installation it is not placed in Windows\system32\ I'm sure it is not(only) the problem of the source, which seems not to be copied to the harddisk, because if the RunOnceEx.cmd runs at T-13 installation, the installation window must appear at the reboot, but it does not. I have searched the forum and found an article, in which one said to set a PAUSE to the RunOnceEx.cmd and to remove the cmdow /HID command. So i have done this and on my Computer it worked, after setting the registry keys he waited for any key, but at installation on VPC he never stopped. I think the problem is, that the RunOnceEx.cmd is never executet and it seems that the folders in $OEM$ are never copied to harddisk. I have tested many things and now i haven't any ideas. mfg rewyn
