Please help I have just installed xp and the hotfixes seemed to have worked but the applications have not. I have read the instruction and search and I think its just that I missunderstand them. I have the I386 folder and in that I have a WINNT.SIF with the following ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS UnattendSwitch="yes" [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=105 OemSkipWelcome=1 [userData] ProductKey= blar blar blar FullName="Coleburg" OrgName="" ComputerName=Home [TapiLocation] CountryCode=46 [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 Language=00000809 [identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [Components] msmsgs=off [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\RunOnceEx.cmd I then have a folder in the same place as the I386 called $OEM$, in that I have a folder called $1 and in that a folder called install, in that I have a file called RunOnceEx.cmd with the following cmdow @ /HID @echo off SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f REG ADD %KEY%\047 /VE /D "MSN7" /f REG ADD %KEY%\047 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\apps\MSN7\MSN7.msi /qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\080 /VE /D "Kaspersky5" /f REG ADD %KEY%\080 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Kaspersky5\Kaspersky5.exe /S EXIT and I also have another folder in there called apps with a folder containg the software of each item mentioned with the same name as the software. Like I said, I have tried, you have to give me that, but it seems I have gone wrong as these wont install. Please be kind enough to help me. Many thanks.
