what if the cdrom drive isn't D? Same dif right? 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: Runonceex.cmd uses the file win51ip.SP2 instead of CD.txt What's the purpose of a blank file that can't be written to anyway?

Ok...since it says "cant find \Apps\etcetcetc" it just be the first line: 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: This is supposed to find the CDROM, but it doesn't. Runonceex.cmd creator generated this, so what's wrong?

I made a runonceex.cmd using the runonceex.cmd creator. I put this file in %cdrom%\$OEM$ and put in it cmdlines.txt. This part is ok - the installer runs, but when it does, it says that it can't find any of the filenames if the apps. I'm sure I typed their names in correctly. I specified the apps to be in %cdrom%\Apps, and that's exactly where they are. This is my runoncecmd.exe: ____________________________________________________________________________ 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%\Apps\ SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Programs" /f REG ADD %KEY%\000 /VE /D ".net2" /f REG ADD %KEY%\000 /V 1 /D "%PP%dotnet2.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D ".netsp1" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%PP%dotnet11sp1.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /VE /D "java" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 1 /D "%PP%jre506.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\003 /VE /D "Kaspersky Antivirus" /f REG ADD %KEY%\003 /V 1 /D "%PP%kavscript.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\004 /VE /D "MSAntispyware" /f REG ADD %KEY%\004 /V 1 /D "%PP%MSAntispyware.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "MSN_Messenger_7.5.0322" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%PP%MSN_Messenger_7.5.0322.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\006 /VE /D "MsgPlus-362.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\006 /V 1 /D "%PP%MsgPlus-362.exe /SilentInstallNoSponsor" /f REG ADD %KEY%\007 /VE /D "reader705.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\007 /V 1 /D "%PP%reader705.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\008 /VE /D "Office 2003" /f REG ADD %KEY%\008 /V 1 /D "%PP%Office2003\PRO11.msi /QB" /f REG ADD %KEY%\009 /VE /D "Photoshop CS2" /f REG ADD %KEY%\009 /V 1 /D "%PP%PhotoshopCS2\PhotoshopCS2Script.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "Spybot.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%PP%Spybot.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\011 /VE /D "UltraEdit" /f REG ADD %KEY%\011 /V 1 /D "%PP%uesetup.exe /s" /f REG ADD %KEY%\012 /VE /D "WinRAR" /f REG ADD %KEY%\012 /V 1 /D "%PP%winrarscript.exe" /f EXIT ___________________________________________________________________________ any idea what the problem is?

so how do you find out what switches are built into an install program? I tried running them with /? switch but that didn't work. what's with this business: and What language is it? Is there a guide on this?

I can use AutoIt to script the installation of an app, then place the scripted exe in runoncexec.cmd and that'll install the program silently after it finishes with windows right?

yeah there are a list of switches for programs in the sticky yeah? but there are some other programs that i want to install silently which aren't in the stickies, eg office 2003, and other commercial apps with cd keys. how can i turn the installation programs for those apps into silent install ones? there has to be a rule or code or protocol or w/e as to what each switch does, and if there is i'd like to learn so i can make my own silent install apps edit: you can't? i heard there is a program called autoit - what does that do?

is there a guide on how to determine the switches to any install program, ie an install program with the usual license agreement, then name, cd key, etc etc? i know there are switches for a lot of programs in the stickies but i really wanna do my own, eg office 2003, etc.
