so then i edit to: REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Microsoft Office XP" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "MSIEXEC.EXE /i %systemdrive%\install\Applications\OfficeXP\PROPLUS.msi TRANSFORMS=Unattended.mst /qb-" /f or do i specify the path to the msiexec.exe ???

thanks but it doesn't have a setup.exe only proplus.msi and i see no reason why a script to run a file wouldnt work if a exe or msi but u never know. but u may b right, when code was setup.exe i am told cannot find, when change to msi it just does nothing.

well seeing as most the help from here is search, i did and found that.

originally kept getting error that cannot find the office file after windows installs, now I get nothing and windows installs ok. full details: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=50038 I would hope that someone may advise, other post is just being ignored. please help

dont seem to get much help on these forums. I spose the the usual answer, hunt the forums, spend a few days putting the puzzle together. thanks alot

well tried a few times and nothing, tried using %systemdrive% and %cdrom% now just loads windows and dont start office no error messages about not finding file or nothing. 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:\CD.txt SET CDROM=%%i: SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Microsoft Office XP" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\OfficeXP\PROPLUS.msi TRANSFORMS=Unattended.mst /qb-" /f EXIT using the proplus.msi as when started the msfn unattended guide i didnt have setup.exe on cd so pointed to the msi. please help

just tested my 1st full attempt xp + office installed fine in VM, logs in then goes to run the office setup but fails. 'cannot find 'install\Applications\OfficeXP\Proplus.exe' this is my runonce file: 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:\CD.txt SET CDROM=%%i: SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Microsoft Office XP" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\install\Applications\OfficeXP\proplus.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.mst /qb-" /f EXIT and my directory structure to the file is (b4 iso convert): D:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\install\Applications\OfficeXP\proplus.exe obviously i must have the path wrong or something to do with the cdrom script part. do i amend to something like : "%CDROM%\$OEM$\$1\install\Applications\OfficeXP\proplus.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.mst /qb-" /f that dont seem right though ??? or am i being stupid and it should b PROPLUS.exe ???

hunted around the forums, find many answers for many things then have to piece the puzzle together. 2 scripts I found: REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "SpySweeper" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\SpySweeperRegSetup_EN.exe /VERYSILENT /KC=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" /f REG ADD %KEY%\006 /VE /D "Spy Sweeper 3.2" /f REG ADD %KEY%\006 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\Webroot\SpySweeper.exe /VERYSILENT /SP-" /f REG ADD %KEY%\006 /V 3 /D "CMD /C COPY \"%systemdrive%\Install\Webroot\install.dat\" \"%programfiles%\Webroot\Spy Sweeper\" /Y" /f which one should I use for the version im installing 3.2?

does above work better than: REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "SpySweeper" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D ""%CDROM%\Software\sspSetup.exe /VERYSILENT /KC=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" /f not tried that, im just collecting all the info b4 i put together. im using spysweeper 3.2.0 build 146

tried search, found a few things to help but nothing set in concrete. I want to silent with the serial in a runonce method like this: REG ADD %KEY%\006 /VE /D "Dreamweaver MX" /f REG ADD %KEY%\006 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\dwMX2004.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\007 /V 2 /D "taskkill /F /IM iexplore.exe" /VERYSILENT /KC=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" can it be done?

lol, sorry, looks like im answering my own questions again: REG ADD %KEY%\050 /VE /D "Microsoft Office 2003 Professional" /f REG ADD %KEY%\050 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.mst /qb-" /f so i should try the runonce method using above script and presumably copy most and edit for the next app? eg: REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "7 Zip 4.18" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\7Zip\7zip.exe -y /S" /f think I will shut up now and stop asking questions hehe

well I got my custom xp with Nlite and slipstreamed all updates and sp2 aswell as office xp and now got to the script stage. worked with cmd through the years so no issues there just a couple of clarification questions. at the end of the office slipstream I am told to add this: ECHO. ECHO Installing Office 2003 Professional ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb- no problem, presumably in the winnt.sif file i uderstand that but when looking through forums etc I see many do a slightly different way with the scripting like: REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "7 Zip 4.18" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\7Zip\7zip.exe -y /S" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "Adobe Reader 7" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Adobe\AdobeReader7.exe" /s /f I believe thats the runonce method? so these are 2 different ways of doing the job? which is best to be using? If use runonce method how to i finish my install so that runs the office i incorporated. sorry my head just getting a little confused on the scripting stage the tutorial is a little flaky on this area. (**** great tutorial though) any advice on starting the scripting stage be appreciated.

yeah sorry, my mind been going loopy all day working out how all this goes together, worked most out but my mind wasn't on work duties my main point was where specify the serial key for the app in question. presumably the scripting for serial keys and any install settings/prompts is coded different for each? i just need to hope whatever app i have to add has a thread in the forums with helpful info

cheers so i just need to work out how change the install options so not install as service mode. lots and lots to read it seems

no easier way to get all the updates apart from these manual methods? I cant do windows catalog as pc fully patched so it shows me nothing. I spose i could just format my spare pc and use windows catalog then, that work?

remote pc app called VNC, use to support and fix freinds and familys pc's. anyone done a silent install and selected the options not to install as a service etc?? I tried search but not one entry found

delete thread if u wish found info on windowblinds just need to find out about a custom skin silent install with it.

Just going through my list of apps to add. I want to silent install Windows blinds with its serial key and set to use a specific theme. anyone done that before and have advice on setup? cheers

lol buys the apps, dont be silly, 15 years in IT and never had to buy 1 app ever. maybe im not reading the guide correct but it doesnt mention where to put apps. I presume they go in the setup folder somwhere then script to run and do silent etc? edit: think i will answer http://unattended.msfn.org/global/oemfolders.htm so i just put all my apps into the install folder and then begin the scripting to setup ??????????

gonna get down to setting this up soon and have been reading up at: http://unattended.msfn.org I just need confirmation on best apps to use and a little guidance. What Im not sure on is do I have to package my apps, do I have to download all my apps and place in the setup folder? Looking at the guide it doesnt seem to cover that part. presumably I just put all my download apps into a certain folder in setup and then point to? also, can i specify all the registration keys etc for any of the apps and how about cracks for apps? the guide seems to get a little flaky when comes to this part of config.
