So I use the wait command on the RunOnceEx? I thought that was for batches only. Here is what I have so far. Let me know of any suggestions you have. I dont recall the reboot issue before. I think it started when I added the .NET V1.1 install. I only added it because I read you needed to. I also found it annoying I was prompted for it on Windows Update. REG ADD %KEY%\003 /VE /D "HMTCD Wizard" /f REG ADD %KEY%\003 /V 1 /D "%PP%HMTCDWizard.exe /qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\004 /VE /D "Microsoft Office XP" /f REG ADD %KEY%\004 /V 1 /D "%PP%SETUPPLS.EXE TRANSFORMS=office11.MST /qb-" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Mozilla FireFox" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%PP%ff.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\006 /VE /D "MSN Messenger" /f REG ADD %KEY%\006 /V 1 /D "%PP%mm.msi /qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\007 /VE /D ".NET Framework v1.1" /f REG ADD %KEY%\007 /V 1 /D "%PP%dotNET11SP1.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\008 /VE /D ".NET Framework v2" /f REG ADD %KEY%\008 /V 1 /D "%PP%dotNET20.exe" /f

Okay, it is the .NET2 which does the restart. What is the switch to prevent it from rebooting? After the reboot the rest of the apps install fine. It is just annoying. I got the .NET2 installer from the Switchless Silent Installers thread.

Okay, it is the .NET2 which does the restart.

Okay, I see now what happened. I get an error refrencing 7 Zip when the silent installer of .NET SP1 is being processed. Any ideas?

Hello everyone, I just need to fix one thing before I call this project complete. I have spent about 5 days working on making an unattended CD. Need a bit of a rest. I want to thank everyone for your help and for having this awesome site. I learned quite a bit. Anyways, the issue a PC will reboot after installing .NET 1.1 through RunOnceEx. I used the version with the fix incorporated from RyanVM. cmdow @ /HID @Echo Off SET PP=%SystemDrive%\Install\ SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Programs" /f REG ADD %KEY%\000 /VE /D "Ad-Aware SE Pro" /f REG ADD %KEY%\000 /V 1 /D "%PP%aa.exe /S" /f REG ADD %KEY%\000 /V 2 /D "taskkill /IM Adaware.exe /F" /f REG ADD %KEY%\000 /V 3 /D "taskkill /IM hh.exe /F" /f REG ADD %KEY%\000 /V 4 /D "taskkill /IM Ad-Aware.exe /F" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Adobe Reader" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%PP%ar.exe /qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /VE /D "DVDShrink" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 1 /D "%PP%DS.exe /VERYSILENT" /f REG ADD %KEY%\004 /VE /D "Google Toolbar" /f REG ADD %KEY%\004 /V 1 /D "%PP%gt.exe /s /qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Microsoft Office XP" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%PP%SETUPPLS.EXE TRANSFORMS=office11.MST /qb-" /f REG ADD %KEY%\006 /VE /D "Mozilla FireFox" /f REG ADD %KEY%\006 /V 1 /D "%PP%ff.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\007 /VE /D "MSN Messenger" /f REG ADD %KEY%\007 /V 1 /D "%PP%mm.msi /qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\008 /VE /D ".NET Framework v1.1" /f REG ADD %KEY%\008 /V 1 /D "%PP%dn1.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\009 /VE /D ".NET Framework v2" /f REG ADD %KEY%\009 /V 1 /D "%PP%dn2.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "Nero Ultra" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%PP%nu.exe /SILENT /NOREBOOT /SN=xxxx-3072-8045-xxxx-9605-6424 /WRITE_SN" /f REG ADD %KEY%\011 /VE /D "NOD32" /f REG ADD %KEY%\011 /V 1 /D "%PP%no.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\011 /V 2 /D "%PP%fix.exe /VERYSILENT /NORESTART" /f REG ADD %KEY%\012 /VE /D "QuickTime Alternative" /f REG ADD %KEY%\012 /V 1 /D "%PP%qa.exe /VERYSILENT /SP-" /f REG ADD %KEY%\013 /VE /D "Real Alternative" /f REG ADD %KEY%\013 /V 1 /D "%PP%ra.exe /VERYSILENT /SP-" /f REG ADD %KEY%\014 /VE /D "Windows Media Player 10" /f REG ADD %KEY%\014 /V 1 /D "%PP%wm10.exe /Q:A /R:N" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "Cleaning Up and Rebooting" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\cleanup.cmd" /f EXIT

I got everything to work now. Only apps that I cannot figure out is PowerDVD.

I got Ad Aware, Ad Watch, Nero Ultra 6.6.0.16, Google Toolbar to install fine. RunOnceEx Creator is awesome! I am still having problems installing Office 2003 Pro, NOD32 and Power DVD. Anyone have suggestions for me on how I need to make the syntax look? Any help you have is appreciated. I don’t want to start another thread specifically for this.

Hello everybody, I am once again stuck. I want to install some apps and cannot get my RunOnceEx.cmd to work. I am not going to lie to you though. I have no idea what I am doing. I looked at the examples and still screwed up. I have the programs copy over to C:\Install just fine. The Installing Box from RunOnce came up too, but the apps do not install. Here is what I want to install: Adobe Reader 7 AdAware Pro DVDShrink Nero Ultra 6.0.16 NOD32 Office 2003 SP2 PowerDVD6 Quicktime Alternative Real Alternative I went as far as to rename each installer using two letters to help minimize user error: ar.exe aa.exe ds.exe nu.exe no.exe setup.exe pd.exe qa.exe ra.exe Can someone provide me with some guidance on how it is supposed to look? I even tried the RunOnceEx Creator and screwed things up. It is very intuitive but has some sections that ask if Extract and Extra Command 1 and so on. Any help you can provide is appreciated Edit: Here is what I made with the RunOnceEx Creator: cmdow @ /HID @Echo Off FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\win51ip.SP2 SET CDROM=%%i: SET PP=%cdrom%\Install\ SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Programs" /f REG ADD %KEY%\000 /VE /D "Ad-Aware Pro" /f REG ADD %KEY%\000 /V 1 /D "%PP%aa.exe /S" /f REG ADD %KEY%\000 /V 2 /D "taskkill /IM Adaware.exe /F" /f REG ADD %KEY%\000 /V 3 /D "taskkill /IM hh.exe /F" /f REG ADD %KEY%\000 /V 4 /D "taskkill /IM Ad-Aware.exe /F" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Microsoft Office 2003 Professional" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%PP%setup.exe TRANSFORMS=office11.MST /qb-" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /VE /D "Real Alternative" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 1 /D "%PP%ra.exe /VERYSILENT /SP-" /f REG ADD %KEY%\003 /VE /D "QuickTime Alternative" /f REG ADD %KEY%\003 /V 1 /D "%PP%qa.exe /VERYSILENT /SP-" /f REG ADD %KEY%\004 /VE /D "Acrobat Reader 7.0" /f REG ADD %KEY%\004 /V 1 /D "%PP%ar.exe -p"-s /v\"/qn\""" /f EXIT

So I was correct in what I said above? It knows to look for the $OEM$ folder because of the answer in the winnt.sif file?

Thanks, for the response. I do have the $OEM$ folder on the same level as i386. So does the Windows Installer know to look for this folder automatically since it has nothing to do with the winnt.sif? I did one weird thing with my CD that kind of complicated things. I used nLite to slipstream the hot fixes in the RVMUpdatePack2.01.cab file to my CD. I am making the svpack.inf so I can install Windows Media Player 10. I looked at the SVPACK folder and see all the hotfixes there from the RVM cab file. However, I cannot find the current svpack.inf, which I am supposed to replace. I am afraid that by making a svpack.inf, I will jack up something with the hot fixes slipstreamed through nLite. Can I have WMP10 install through the cmdlines.txt or the [GuiRunOnce]?

Hello everyone, I want to make an Intermediate CD now and have some more questions. I want to make sure I have an understanding of what is going on. This is what I think is going on so far. The Windows installer knows there is a $OEM$ folder based on the answer on the winnt.isf file The content of the subfolders of the $OEM$ folder will copy to the HDD based on where I designated it on the $OEM$ folder tree i.e. 1$ represents Root or C:\ $$ represents Windows or C:\Windows The Windows CD looks for the cmdlines.txt during T-12 of setup and triggers the commands listed in it. The commands in the cmdlines.txt execute the .cmd and .bat scripts on the Windows CD The batch scripts reference files copied over from the $OEM$ folder to the root and install apps, copy over drivers, make registry changes, and so on. Am I correct so far in what I understand? I do not want to start additional threads so I will keep adding to this one as I am stumped. Edit: If I go with the [GuiRunOnce] batch files, when do they execute?

What does the Unattended Switch do?

Thanks you for your help guys. As I waited for a response I looked at the ref.cfm file and found the change for the oobinfo.ini. I put this: [userInfo] Identity000="NewUser-Admin" [Options] IntroOnly=1 Everything worked perfectly on the VM

Thanks for the reply. I am confused though. I did have that value set already on the winnt.sif file.

Hello everyone, Before I get to my question, I must say that this site is awesome. The information that is found here is just amazing. It is a little intimidating though. I been building, upgrading, fixing computers enough to think I was advanced. However, once I saw the Intermediate and Advanced sections for the Unattended CD it really humbled me. So far, I could only make the Beginner version. I am sure with your help I can get the rest down. Anyways, here is my question for the time being. I made a basic unattended CD, which works well. However, I still get prompted to enter a bit of information and am hoping you can tell me what I need to change. After the install, I receive the following prompts: Welcome to Microsoft XP Help Protect Your Computer Automatic Updates Checking for Internet Connection Register Windows XP Windows XP Tour How do I fix this? Is it on the winnt.sif or the OOBEINFO.ini? Here are both of them. winnt.sif OOBEINFO.INI
