I was wondering if you can install IE6 in the cmdlines.txt file, or should I call a .cmd file to do it. This my current syntax in the cmdlines.txt: [COMMANDS] "%systemdrive%\Installs\IE\ie6setup.exe /Q:A /R:N" "RunOnceEx.cmd" Is this correct? TIA. HokieForever

I figured out my problem. I had a bad command line switch for an executable that ran before the shutdown which caused an explorer.exe error and shutdown to quit unexpectedly. Thanks to everyone for the help. HokieForever

This is for Windows 2000: Is there a way to force the IE6 entries in the runonceex to run without rebooting? I knoew XPCreate has an ie6start.exe but I would prefer to create/run my own if possible. This is the last hurdle I have in creating my bootable CD. I have all applications, hotfixes, etc. setup to run but the IE6 runonceex is throwing a wrench in my finished product. TIA. HokieForever

If I did not put in the sleep I would get an explorer.exe error and explorer.exe would crash. I only need currently two lines of code in my cleanup, the shutdown and the remove directory line do destroy the installs file. If I take the sleep out it does not work. HokieForever

Why do I feel like everyone is laughing at me? 25 views and no one has responded either it is an easy solution or everyone is just as stumped as I am. HokieForever

Everyone, First I want to thank Aaron for having a great site and forum that explains everything with unattended setups. I have a complete Windows 2000 Server CD with all the fixins' setup and ready to go. The only issue I am having is that my cleanup.cmd does not run correctly (it does run). Here is the code first: cmdow @ /HID shutdown.exe /L /R /T:60 /C "Windows 2000 will now restart in 1 minute..." sleep.exe 20 RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\Installs\ EXIT Now I know my runonceex key and the cleanup.cmd execution is correct because the Installs folder does delete. My problem is that the shutdown.exe never kicks off (no shutdown window and no "Windows 2000" text, so I have to manually reboot the machine. At first I did not have any delay between the shutdown line and the remove directory line so I thought maybe that was the issue since the cleanup.cmd eats itself, but that was not the issue. I have tried wait.exe and as you see above sleep.exe. I have even run the cleanup.cmd manually and it works. Any ideas? Nothing in the event log. HokieForever
