  1. Thanks very much for the clarification. Ganesh
  2. Hello Benjamin, I am relatively new to unattended setup, in particular to WIHU. I have done some experiments with WIHU, and it seems to be an ideal utility to run after a full unattended setup, especially for changing 'Registered Owner' name, creation of new accounts, and continue installing favorite applications. Thanks very much for offering the neat tool. I have a couple of basic questions on invocation of wihu that I felt was not addressed in the help page (http://www.kalytta.com/wihu.manual.php) which I browsed some time ago. Where the command line that invokes wihu.exe should be placed in the unattended setup process for installing applications from CD? I have guess on this. As the name suggests (post installation), I felt that the command-line should be placed such that wihu.exe is invoked during first logon directly from CD. An example script would be $OEM$\CmdLines.txt [COMMANDS] wihu_start.cmd $OEM$\start_wihu.cmd (pseudocode only) cmdow @ /HID @echo off for %%I in (C D ... Z) do if exist %%I:\WIN51 set CDROM=%%I: SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce REG ADD %KEY% /V WIHU /D "%CDROM%\BasicApps\wihu.exe" /f exit where all application installation EXEs are placed in the folder tree with %CDROM%\BasicApps folder as root. I hope I am right? I felt calling wihu through CmdLine.txt is better since it runs as a system service as opposed to 'logged on user service' in the case of '[GuiRunOnce]' part of winnt.sif. [From ref.chm of xp tools deploy.cab] Such an invocation clearly makes wihu run during first logon. However I am begining to get doubts on my understanding after I read a post [Wihu CreateProcess] that mentioned something about running wihu during T-12 minute stage of XP setup. I am not clear about it. Can wihu be invoked by GUI setup process during T-12? Should not all applications be installed only after first logon into some account? Could someone throw some light please? Thanks very much Ganesh
