Thank you!

Hi: Thanks to the knowledgable people on this board, I have read the information and sucessfully created created an XP SP1 Unattended Install disc. I was successful in integrating everything I want on one CD-ROM My question: OK, this is what I want to do. I have my operating system and programs on C: and I have Backups (including all the setup files) for the applications I would like to install on D: How would I write a batch file, that I could run after XP is installed, to silently install all (or most) of my applications. I understand that many of you run an applications batch file during the windows install but this necessitates putting the windows XP install disc on a DVD, but I don't have a DVD burner...yet. I also understand that many use a syntax like: So assuming I had a backup of the AIM installation program on my computer at: "D:\Backups\AIM\Install_AIM.exe" could I just change the syntax to read: and than generalize this to all the other programs I want to silently install according to the instructions here.. Thank you in advance for any knowledgable replies. -------------------------------------------------------------------- -B
