[WPI 4.3.5]

Hi all i finally got around to adding wpi install to my unattened xp disk and everyhting goes fine until it starts to install the apps and then it tell me it cannot find the files or apps.

Yet after windows is finished installing i can go to my d:\ drive click on the wpi folder and click on the wpi.hta file and wpi will run and load all the apps i select just cant get it to do it while im installing windows

this is my runonce file if anyone can help me out please

[drivers on cd]

thanks for that i came accross that one before,doesnt excatly fit what im looking for though bashrath has done a great job collecting drivers and has them all in nice driver packs.What i want to do is leave my unattended dvd the way it is now, and just put his driverpacks onto a cd just them nothing else and have windows search the cd when i need to install a driver.

Is this possible ?

[drivers on cd]

jez ive spent weeks on this forum while making my unattended cd's and dvd's but i cant find a thread on this

You got any links handy please

[drivers on cd]

[using ris]

thanks all for your help i got it working the oem preinstall was set to no in the sif file i changed the value to yes and all is working great now

thanks again

[using ris]

I have tried placing the $oem$ folder beside the i386 folder but when the runonce starts after xp is setup it tells me it cannot find c:\install\applications so it seems to me that the install folder is not getting copied over..any ideas why thanks again

[using ris]

hey all i made my unattended xp sp2 install disk with all my apps no probs working great.But now i would like to use ris to deploy it for me.I installed ris on the server and copied the contents of the dvd to the share folder and tried to setup a client pc.All went well and it installed fine except it didnt install any of the apps like it does when im using the cd and it didnt fill in the product key.

Do i have to place the $oem$ folder inside the i386 folder or beside it to get it to load using ris.And also do i leave my answer file named winnt.sif in the i386 folder.

Thanks for all your help in advance..

[how do i make cmdlineslines.txt]

excellent Alanoll thanks again gonna test it now

[how do i make cmdlineslines.txt]

hi again second post just converted to the runonceex method and finally got it to work with your help "thanks" now i am having a little problem with adding a user.It worked with my batch file because i only had a cmdlines.txt with a reference to useraccount.cmd but with runonce i had to add another line to it so i made it like this

[COMMANDS]
"RunOnceEx.cmd"

[COMMANDS]
"user.cmd"

and then saved it as cmdlines.txt in my $oem$ folder

but its not adding a user

any help thanks

[need help with runonce plz]

done thanks for that

[need help with runonce plz]

Running it now in Virtual Pc to see if it will work cant believe i spent over a week looking for a solution to this because i was afraid to post been reading lots of posts from newbies like myself and thought i was gonna get torched and flamed.

Again Thank You.

thank you got it

[need help with runonce plz]

your dead right jez man ur good it works fine in tthe batch script so i assume it is gonna work ok in the runonceex script as well.

thats all i was having probs with..

and how do i do them codes doesn't look right in my last post....

[need help with runonce plz]

cool that helps a lot thanks mate.i'll try and edit the code tags things now have to do more reading.

quick one though i want to copy the file

$OEM$\$Progs\Adobe\Photoshop CS\AdobeLM.dll

so when windows is installed it will be in the file

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS\ folder is that right

[need help with runonce plz]
