Hiya, I have written reg entries into the RunOnceEx structure for NT4. If I run 'rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess' then it works fine. However if I reboot it doesnt stat automatically like Windows XP - is there a reason for this has anyone else had the same problems ?? Have tried on more than one machine now Thanks Ed

I have it working on XP now - but dont seem to get anything on NT4 ??? Is it possible anyone ?? I run the rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess - and this then runs them fine ?????? But it doesnt seem to be automatic? Thanks Ed

Hiya, Thanks unfortantly I have tried this and it doesnt seem to work - nothing happens The double quotes are due to me coping it from a .reg file, there not there when imported. So on a Windows NT4 SP6a IE6 SP1+ machine which has been running for a year etc RunOnceEx should work okay for say a patch?? The only refs Ive seen on the net are to do with RunOnceEx.CMD files etc for unattended XP installs from fresh. I want to use it as a tool for just patch updates etc ?? Thanks Ed

Hiya, I am having problems runnning RunOnceEx with the following syntax: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx] "Title"="Updating Patches" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\001] "Acrobat Patch 6.0.1"="||msiexec /p \\\\TestServer\\TestArea\\Patches\\Applications\\Adobe\\Acrobat\\6\\Ac60BaP1.msp /qb- REINSTALLMODE=omus REINSTALL=ALL REBOOT=ReallySuppress" Basically Windows NT and XP are picking this up! Does RunOnceEx work only when Windows XP is setup for the first time or when you reboot your machines for standard packages etc ?? Thanks Ed
