hey there. sorry, had no time yet to test it. i just looked at my *.inf again and wanted to try the installation as posted above. thats my inf: monitorxp.inf ; monitor.inf ; ; Installation inf for printer port monitor ; ; (c) Copyright 2001 DDK Example for print monitor installation ; [Version] Signature="$Windows NT$" Provider=%PMProducer% ClassGUID={4D36E979-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} Class=Printer [PortMonitors] "ND Client Fax Port XP" = ndportmon [ndportmon] CopyFiles=@ndmon3.dll PortMonitorDll=ndmon3.dll [SourceDisksFiles] ndmon3.dll=1,, [SourceDisksNames] 1="ND Client Fax Port Installation Disk",,, [Strings] PMProducer="Notes Development" so, 5eraph stated i had to add the files listed under [sourceDisksFiles], too. so what do i hjave to do now? i add my monitorxp.inf with the code form 5eraph, replacing YOUR.inf with monitorxp.inf. and then i do the same with ndmon3.dll or what? im not quite sure about the [sourceDisksFiles]-part

no ideas?

thx 5eraph, gonna test that and yes, we only have HP170X / HP500X printservers or networkcards in the printers for direct tcp/ip

hi im installing several printers during RunOnceEx. im setting all of them to port LPT1, so i can manually adjust them later to the printserver they are using later on. this is no problem, im using this code: [...] ECHO Kyocera Mita FS-1020D KX ... ECHO. start /wait RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /if /b "Kyocera Mita FS-1020D KX" /f "C:\apps\treiber\fs1020d\oemsetup.inf" /r "LPT1:" /m "Kyocera Mita FS-1020D KX" /q /u ECHO. [...] problem is: i also have to install a fax-printer for lotus notes. printer itself isnt a problemn, i just use the code from above (i have an *.inf for the printer). but it uses a special port called "NDFAX3" (ND Faxport V3). i also have an *.inf for that port, but i dont know how to install it automatically so my question is: is there a *.dll or something similar like printui.dll for printerports? or any other ideas how to realize this? thx moeTi

hi there i have some problems with the IE settings after an unattended install. in my winnt.sif there are the following settings for : [URL] AutoConfig = 1 AutoConfigURL = http://www.our1337intranet.de/proxy.pac Home_Page = http://www.our1337intranet.de so i am behind a proxy here, and i need to log on to the squid-proxy before i can load internet-page. so what i have to do is adding the link to the file proxy.pac in IE. (proxy.pac is a txt-file with different proxy-settings, doesnt matter here) i have to enter the link in IE -> LAN-settings -> automatic Config-Script (dunno the exact name, im using german IE) also, the homepage should be our intranet. so when i install it with the settings posted above, there is neither the configscript nor the homepage setting correct. i also tried to change those settings with some registry-tweaks after installation, but it doesnt seem to work. any ideas on that? thx in advance! moeTi

hi there didnt know what to type in to search for an answer, so i hope it wasnt answered before. when i install some pograms with a batch-file, windows opens up the starmenu-folders of that programs automatically. when i install 10 programs in a row, i also have 10 folders open . what i want to do now, is close the folders before installing the next program. is there a command or something like that to close active folders? it should work like alt+f4, but of course without pressing keys. thx in advance! moeTi

ok, found it myself now. for everyone with the same problem: instead of NOTESDIR use PROGDIR it now installs all data to the specified path, and nothing to "c:\program files\lotus\notes"

sorry for bringing this up again if i use the parameters notesdir and datadir, the installer still puts a lot of files to the default-path (c:\programme\lotus\notes\ in my case). actually there are about 100mb in c:\notes and 150mb in c:\programme\lotus\notes\ in the end notes is working like it should, but i still need everything in c:\notes is there another parameter for that? wasnt able to find anything helpful around. thx in advance! moeTi

hi there im currently trying to install slowview (image viewer) silent. i found no switches so far, and im searching for them quite a long time now.. i tried to make my own .msi installer with wininstall, but all i get out of it is a useless 4gb-slowview-entry in the software-list. dunno what im doing wrong tho. whatev. if someone could give me some switches or stuff, that wopuld be really great. i want to install it silently and associate all image-files with it thx in advance! moeTi

ok thanks for ur help unfortunately i cant write a code for 1st logon and 2nd logon that easily, because after first logon i have to disable autologon, and after rebooting there will be the login-screen for the novell client (we have both novell login, and windows login after booting the machine). /edit: oh ****, i read ur post again, and now i understand what u mean. got it wrong the first time.. i gonna try that RunOnce tip and i also have programs that are admin-only, so i definitly cant install everything with cmdlines.txt ok, i gonna screw around with the settings now

ok i will get more detailed about how my install runs at the moment: this is my cmdlines.txt: [COMMANDS] "useraccounts.cmd" "RunOnceEx.cmd" useraccounts.cmd creates the standard user runonceex.cmd looks like that: [...] REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "blablabla" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\apps\user.reg" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 2 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\apps\streammru.reg" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 3 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\apps\stream.reg" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Novell Netware Client" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\apps\NovellClient\WINNT\i386\acu.exe /u /d:no" /f [...] so, as u can see, im adding registry-tweaks within runonceex (user.reg etc), after that im running several application-installs, and in the end im deleting temp-folders with another .cmd why im doing it like that? i thought (and that might be the mistake ) that things like that... ;Disable Desktop Cleanup Wizard [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\CleanupWiz] "NoRun"=dword:00000001 ... wont work with no user logged in. and thats why i started the tweaks after im logged in as admin. any suggestions about that? thx in advance! moeTi

so when i add something to HKEY_USERS/.DEFAULT it is for all users? i have to add the reg-keys within RunOnceEx, because i cant add them before installing several programs

hi guys! my appologies for possibly bad english first, it has been a long day at work, so my brain is a bit tired i _really_ love this forum, it helped me out so many times now! im setting up an unattended-install at work. it works pretty good now, i found answers to most of my questions around here but one thing i didnt find here: we have 2 accounts on every machine. 1 admin and 1 standard-user for the normal users. its no problem to create the standard-user witch a small .cmd-file, thats working just perfect. after installing windows, windows logs in with the admin-account, runs runonceex and installs all programs and stuff. problem is: is want the registry-tweaks not only for admin, but also for the standard user. another thing: our admin-screen is red, so all the admins know if they are logged in as admin or standard. now, after installing unattended, the screen is red like it should be, but its also red with standard-user after looking around a bit i found out that u can load the standard-user netuser.dat in the registry, so u can edit the standard-registry over HKEY_USERS/<enternamehere> problem is, its not unattended any suggestions for that? i hope u understand what i mean, if not, just ask and i try to explain it again thx in advance moeTi edit: oh ****, thought i would post in unattended forums.. someone pls remove it if it is too wrong here..
