[How to make a 7-Zip Switchless Installer]

;!@Install@!UTF-8!

RunProgram="Nero7.0.1.2.BASIC.exe -passive -norestart"

;!@InstallEnd@!

Why do I keep rebooting???

Will removing the -norestart from config.txt and calling the .exe from a batch

"%systemdrive%\install\applications\Nero7.0.1.2.BASIC.exe /norestart"

stop the reboot?

Thank you. Since I started coming here I have made a few custom installs and several switchless installers. Who would have thought it could be so easy... although there are still some troublesome apps (D%$n McAfee, Nero 7, Etc)

[McAfee Internet Security Suite, silent install]

I made a 7zip switchless installer (/s) and it works fine.

[NOOBIE SIMPLE QUESTION]

thanks for all the help. I have learned a lot in the past 4 days. So far these are my only added apps to install, but i will keep learning

[GuiRunOnce]

command1="%systemdrive%\installs\Applications\Office2003\2003.bat"

command2="%systemdrive%\installs\Applications\K-Lite Codec Pack\klcpf.bat"

command3="%systemdrive%\installs\Applications\QuickTime Alternative\qtalt.bat"

command4="%systemdrive%\installs\Applications\Real Alternative\realalt.bat"

command5="%systemdrive%\installs\Applications\****\****.bat"

[NOOBIE SIMPLE QUESTION]

to delete your C:\Install folder, add rd /g /s /f to your cleanup.bat.

can you explain this further. as i said. I am a COMPLETE noob and have never read anything about cleanup bat.

again. my appologies for ignorance.

thank you for your help btw. I have run several trials on msvpc and so far so good. just gotta get rid of that install folder.

[NOOBIE SIMPLE QUESTION]

I just statrted customixing my xp installations and so far I LOVE IT. I have made several .cmd files in (C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\install\Applications.) My question is, How do i tell [GuiRunOnce] to install one cmd file at a time?

i.e.

If i wanted to run two files, would i type (into winnt.sif)

"[GuiRunOnce]

c:\install\Applications\2003_batch.cmd

[GuiRunOnce]

c:\instal\Applications\QT\qtalt.bat"

or something more along the lines of

"[GuiRunOnce]

c:\install\Applications\2003_batch.cmd ,wait, c:\instal\Applications\QT\qtalt.bat"

sorry for my ignorance but i am eager to learn.

My second question is how do I get the "C:\install" folder to be automatically deleted after the .cmd and .bat are done running?

Thank you for your patience.

[Cant get office 2003 to silently install]

http://unattended.msfn.org/intermediate/ap...03_advanced.htm

I followed these instructions to the "T", but when i install xp, office has not been installed. There is, however a folder (something like C:\Install\Application\Office 2003) where i can install 2003 from. I want it to be silently installed.

I placed this

ECHO.

ECHO Installing Office 2003 Professional

ECHO Please wait...

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb- ( .bat file) in C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\install\Applications

Do i need to add anything to winnt.sif?

What am I doing wrong?

[I was proud of myself before reading some of your posts.]
