Ok guys I know this question has been asked many times before... This is something I found easy to do with the 3 series of wpi but doesnt seem to work with this new 4.3.5 version... So my question is basically how do you make wpi run direct from cd, I'm not just talkin about putting "REM Determine the WPI startup path. REM if wpi should run off the cd the replace %~dp0 with %cdrom%. set wpipath=%cdrom%\wpi" in the wpi.cmd file, but all the rest that goes around it i.e.folders you use etc... Also how do you make the mediaplayer work whilst installing in this manner... Thanx for any help....

Quick question how do you make wpi auto reboot the computer... Indeed my normal script detailed below does not action... I do believe this is due to the fact that wpi is getting stuff straight from cd and not from hd... Can anyone help???? rem Restart Windows. shutdown.exe -r -f -t 60 -c "Rebooting..."

Can u please explain this, where do I find this runonceEX.cmd??? 6. We need to edit our runonceEX.cmd to look like this CODE cmdow @ /HID @echo off FOR %%i 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 %%i:\WIN51IP.SP2 SET CDROM=%%i: SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Installer.exe" /f EXIT

Soz 2 say but it still doesnt close final app window... Thanx 4 your help though...

Good mention oops i put the serial on here.... Nevermind.... Cheers 4 your help...

Alrite I've read through your thread a few times, I think I understand what you mean but could you give a bit more detail on the install.... ex: From what you say you have to start and create a wpi installation setup independant from your unattended windows installtion folders... Then you go into your wpi folder and compress all files inside including the install folder which has all your programs/utilities (in my case more than a gig). Once you have made the sfx archive with comment, you need to edit runonceEX.cmd. Where is that file/do I have to create it (is that winnt.sif file)????? Once I have done that i just put the sfx archive in the root of my unattended cd and that is it....All should work. Don't I have to mod my Winnt.sif file to launch the installer in the 1st place. Do I just create a runonceEX.cmd in the following folder? $OEM$\$1 And call it from Winnt.sif???? As you can see I have quite a few questions.... I'm just tryin to get things right.

thanx but it still doesnt work

I've made an autoit script. All works fine but when isobuster opens up I cant get it to close... Here is my script: Run ("IsoBuster_1804_(All_languages).exe /VERYSILENT") WinWaitActive ("Registration will enable IsoBuster PRO functionality") Send ("Predator@revenge.com_8L6RCO3TBOQR9RETD") Send ("{TAB}") Send ("****************************************") Send ("{TAB}") Send ("{ENTER}") WinWaitActive ( "Online Check" ) Send ("{ENTER}") WinWaitActive ("IsoBuster - Pro - 1.8") WinClose ("IsoBuster - Pro - 1.8") Can anyone help????

Yeah basically with WPI regarless what you want to install, it still puts all the installer files on your hd... Then that obliges you to have a cleanup script to delete the C:\install folder... Does you way run the installtion process straight from the cd hense avoiding putting temp files on your hd????

should I maybe put all this: for /d %%g in ("%temp%\*") do rd /s /q "%%g" for %%g in ("%temp%\*") do del /s /q "%%g" for /d %%g in ("%windir%\Downloaded Installations\*") do rd /s /q "%%g" for %%g in ("%windir%\Downloaded Installations\*") do del /s /q "%%g"

So, in your scripyt the actual command that gets rid of the C:\install folder is this: rd /s /q %SystemDrive%\Install like for my install... So, why does yours work and not mine???

what commands do you use???

this is my winnt.sif file: command2 = "%systemdrive%\install\wpi\wpi.cmd" command3 = "%SystemDrive%\D\BTS_DPs_finish.cmd"

I thought that and I did try and launch the deleting procedure from the same script that deletes the installation drivers but that didn't work either... Here are the details: CMDOW @ /HID RD /S /Q %SystemDrive%\D CMDOW @ /HID RD /S /Q %SystemDrive%\Install that should have done it but it didnt...

I've tried that and for some reason, once everything is done, I'm still left with C:\Install\WPI the WPI folder is empty but I'd like the whole directories to be deleted... I call my batch straight form WPI.cmd at the end...
