My board is using the Silicon Image 3112a drivers. Do they differ from the 3112? I was unable to find this out. Please let me know. Thanks Web. Brian

Yes it should. Fixed that performing a clean install will post when finished if any of the suggestions above worked. Anymore things anyone sees wrong? Also so why does nothing have to be inserted into the winnt.sif file refrencing the Cmdlines.txt? Just did not know how the install knows to look there. B

Ok removed "AutoAdminLogon"="1" but will be a while before i can complete a new install and test it. I found this information here http://board.MSFN.org/index.php?showtopic=...ate%20user&st=0 [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\main_batch.cmd is my batch file that installs all my apps. Here is a copy of it: CLS @echo off ECHO. ECHO Over the next few minutes you will see automated installations ECHO of various sofware applications, windows updates, and registry ECHO hacks being implemented. The computer will restart automatically ECHO once the whole process has finished! ECHO.

Use this entry when performing a clean install of the operating system as the first step in building a master installation, which you then plan to duplicate onto multiple destination computers. You must place the OPK tools in the %systemdrive%\Sysprep folder. I really dont think i need this command i am removing it from the winnt.sif file. I will post if your suggestion worked or not. If anyone else has any suggestin let me know. Thanks B

Ok here is the problem i nearly have my auto install completed. I am having one problem. I decided it would be best to create a user and have him log in automaticly before the install of all my apps. When i set up a user account my install continues however the account is not created and windows is in classic mode when it completes the final restart. It was not in classic mode before i attempted to add the new user. Also i tried the install with and without the reg file and both completed with the same result as described about so i dont believe the reg file is the prob but i could be wrong. I read thru many pages and here is what i came up with: $OEM$ -Cmdlines.txt -user.cmd -Reg_Root_tweaks.reg Cmdlines.txt looks like this: [COMMANDS] ".\user.cmd" user.cmd looks like this: CLS @ECHO OFF ECHO Adding Default User... net user "Brian A.

I am so close to finishing thanks to all of you guys help in the past. B

Thanks guys. I used budsters method and it worked great. All i need to do is get my hands on AI Snapshot so that i can autoinstall Roxio Easy CD Creator 6 Thanks again HEVNBND

Neither way will add the shortcuts to the desktop or program group will they?

Did some research on AI Snapshot. Sounds like the program i may need. Yes if you could send me the exe for mirc that would be great.

I read a post in the sitches thread by aaron but it did not make a lot of since. How would i go about installing this app silently in my batch file? Thanks Brian

Nevermind got it to work using the /Y command. Thanks all

Ok it is still prompting me asking me if i want to overight the file or not

Ok i fixed the problem added -SMS before the -s and this tells the app to complete before continuing. You should add this info to your unattend page. Hope this helps someone else. Brian

Ok here is my apps.cmd info for this section: CLS @echo off ECHO. ECHO Installing Adobe Photoshop 7 ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Photoshop\setup.exe -s -f1"%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Photoshop\setup.iss" ECHO.

EXIT It does not matter what app i have after photoshop the batch does not wait for photoshop to complete. Photoshop is however still installing. I can tell this by watching the adobe folder grow and the icons show up for it. So it is definitly installing adobe and the next app at the same time. (just wanted to put this in there to rule out comments about it not installing the first app and continueing to the second) Anyone have any solutions? Thanks Brian

Ok i am doing an silent install of Quickbooks 2003 and running into a problem. The app uses installshield so i installed it copied the setup.iss and then hit the restart button. This app does not give you an option for yes or no on the restart. I then used the setup.iss to do a silent install. The app then installed silently but at the end it pops up a window completing installation and it then proceeds to uninstall the app. The reason i know this is because the icon for the app shows up on the desktop and then disappears. Any ideas anyone? Thanks Brian

Can you give me an example of what it would look like to copy a file over to replace another file? Thanks

Ok after i complete my apps.bat i want to copy several files over to different directories. They will be replacing files already there. This is probally very simple but i could not find it anywhere. Thanks Brian

Ok i am auto installing intervideo xpack. I will autoinstall but it still asks for the registration information. I installed it using setup.exe -R and copied the setup.iss to the directory of setup.exe but it is still prompting me to enter the serial.

What is causing these folders to show up all the sudden? I am using the latest do.cmd to create the slipstream. Here is a list of the updates i am using: KB329441.EXE 1\KB821557.EXE 1\KB824105.EXE 1\KBB24142.EXE 1\Q323255_.EXE 1\Q328310_.EXE 1\Q329048_.EXE 1\Q329115_.EXE 1\Q329170_.EXE 1\Q329390_.EXE 1\Q329834_.EXE 1\Q331953_.EXE 1\Q810565_.EXE 1\Q810577_.EXE 1\Q810833_.EXE 1\Q811493_.EXE 1\Q811630_.EXE 1\Q814033_.EXE 1\Q815021_.EXE 1\Q817606_.EXE 20 file(s) copied. 2\js56nen.EXE 2\q330994.EXE 2\Q817287.EXE 2\q822925.EXE 2\vbs56nen.EXE 2\WindowsM.EXE 6 file(s) copied. 3\Q823718_.cmd 1 file(s) copied. 3\Q823718_.EXE Please someone assist me asap.
