[install.cmd vs. RunOnceEx methods...]

guys...

RunOnceEx is the "stylish" method... there are no advantages in any of the methods that aren't complemented with disadvantages... (caught it? )

I personally tried the RunOnceEx, and i like the way it looks... and I'm using it with my winxp unattended install (cmdlines.txt) to install some basic apps (firefox, thunderbird, j2re, some regtweaks, etc...), but i'm still using the CMD method for the rest of my apps unattended install! I have them on a separate DVD-RW and i install with CMD for ONE MAJOR REASON: i can CANCEL the freaking thing at any time doing a CTRL+C!!!!! (i'm calm...)

EDIT: of course i don't use cmdow for the batch... and yes... i did build a decent looking batch file!! (always did since the days of DOS Customizing with batch files;)

Canceling with RunOnceEx is a "pain" and i don't like NOT being able to cancel ANYTHING at ANYTIME on MY computer!

so here are my 0.02

how about installing Macromedia Studio Mx (Plus and 2k4), Adobe Apps (namely Photoshop and Corel 11??

Nice challenge huh?? I bet it's possible, i just don't know how to insert the name/serial (needed to proceed installation on all above) on a setup config file!

Well... i'll wait... seated!
