Perhaps a DHCP server is a much easier solution!

I have multiple hard drives and partitions, and almost everything i install goes to my F: partition, while windows and only windows goes on my C: partition...how can i pass the command to the installs where to install to? Such things like AIM, Diskeeper, office 2003, etc...
Thanks!
Set your %programfiles% to a different directory. You can do this by a regtweak.

right-click on the shortcut of notepad in start menu, then open properties, you can find 3 env.variables.
but env.vars on RunOnce are not all available as ready system. you can make a dump during RunOnce, SET>%SystemDrive%\env.log, to find out which env.vars available that time.
.\Util.EXE -y -o"%ProgramFiles%"
.\UtilLink.EXE -y -o"%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Desktop"that's what i do in RunOnce, they are both 7-zip console sfx archive.
first one extracts some program executables.
2nd one extracts shortcuts for those programs. all shortcuts using %ProgramFiles% to refer to where it is.
maybe you just forgot to enclose output directory with double quotes...
This was EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thank you!
(Just for the record, why doesn't Windows have a built-in alike feature?)

It should work. Maybe the 7z archive is messing it up. I made an NSIS installer for mozilla. You could do the same, and make a shortcut with the variables.
hmmm... Didn't think of that; didn't think of making an installer myself
Thanks for the idea, I'll try it tomorrow!0 -
cool, didn't know this was possible!
yeah, you can make pretty decent installations with winrar. i have some games in my unattended cd that install into program files, add a shortcut to the start menu, and execute a reg file to input the username and serial.
haven't got a clue, but why would you need to use that! winrar has totally converted me, i haven't installed winzip, winace, etc for years now.Are there alike possibilities with 7zip sfx archives?Perhaps... but 7zip has better compression! And a 700 MB CD is quickly filled...

The thing is: RunOnceEX installs Mozilla and Firefox through a 7zip SFX archive, which saves space and is easy in use. But I want shortcuts on the desktop. And I'd like the shortcut to refer to %programfiles%\... , this doesn't work as environment variables aren't supported in shortcuts...
Is there a work-around?

Is there a inf file in the Alcatel330 folder? (I think both folders are needed for drivers)

Doesn't the XP plus pack use MSI installer?
Just use the .msi switches.
I install it like this : "Microsoft Plus! for Windows XP.msi /QB-!"
i.e., the "/QB-!" switch.
i gave him switches for msi too
QN works better then QB, QB still shows the progress barregards
Some people like to see the installation progress... An empty screen doesn't say much...

add this to the comment for each shortcut:
Shortcut=X, "PATHTOPROGRAM", "SUBMENU", "DESCRIPTION", "SHORTCUTNAME"
where X can be:
D=Desktop
S=Start Menu
P=Start Menu/Programs
T=Startup
or when you're creating the SFX archive, go under the Advanced tab, and press Add Shortcut, fill in the blanks and your set.
cool, didn't know this was possible!
Are there alike possibilities with 7zip sfx archives?

anyone know a program that will extract the contents of .exe files?
WinRAR/7zip/...
Not ALL but MANY .exe's are possible to be extracted with above programs.

There are two possibilities where it's stored:
1) registry
==> use a program like RegShot (use google to find it, it's freeware) and take a snapshot of the registry before and after you've applied your settings
2) somewhere on your hdd
==> more possibilities:
...a) %programfiles%\diskeeper\
...b) %allusersprofile%\application data OR %usersprofile%\application data (= %appdata%)
look in all these folders for a file that _looks_ like a file with configuration info
good luck

I'd recommend 7zip, it's got much better compression, fast, easy in use AND freeware!

I've never seen \\ in a REG command when refering to directories and spaces. Network drives yes, not spaces.. In any case, the original was flawed.
There would be a " after READER if he looked in the registry along with /f
hmmm..... I think I must be confused or so....

REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 1 /D "\\mycomputer\msi\acrobat6\acrobat6.msi INSTALLDIR=\"e:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\"" /f
and /or (?) you could use double backslashes.
e.g.: E:\\program files\\Adobe\\xyz

Hi,
I'm trying to personalize a copy of XPE which I downloaded. I want to change the shortcuts which appear on the desktop and the startmenu once XPE starts up. In the system32 folder there is an autorun file which copies the Documents and Settings from the CD to the RAM drive created upon boot. I thought the shortcuts would there but the Documents and Settings and all its subfolders are all empty. So, to add my own shortcuts and get rid of the existing ones, I've created a cmd file. But I'd rather fix the problem at its root. How do I add/remove shortcuts which are seen on the desktop and startmenu once XPE starts up.
Thanks.
cheers!
Icons like the ones of 'This computer' and 'Networklocation' are included in explorer.exe. I guess you'd have to hack this to 'insert' it in Windows as_clean_as_possible.
And what is 'XPE'?? Windows XP Embedded?
While I'm here asking questions, how do I change what starts up when XPE boots?like, which cmd file it accesses.
thx
What do you exactly mean by this? Plz explain to me.

you need to start call the MSI by specifying MSIEXEC first at the beginning of the line.
ie: msiexec /i "install.msi /QB"
HTH

This is not needed. At least, it works fine for me without adding all this... (using RunOnceEx, before cmd)

Is there also away to do this IN Windows, through a batch file? (I guess not, but I ask it anyway because it might be very usefull)

Hi,
When All updates are installed, there are lots of temp directory's in the root.
The names of these dirs are like this: 4e8f1deb21588a62dda99
How to automaticly delete these?
Any help would be welcome.
Thanks
When you're using the /Q /O /N /Z switch I don't think there are any temp folders.
Can anyone confirm this?

You haven't done ANY search, have you???
Use:
-msfn search
-google
In this topic you can find all switches you need.

You want to do this manually, NOT unattended? Easy. When Windows has booted and your seeing the welcome-screen, press twice CTRL+ALT+DEL and a screen where you can login as administrator appears.

Interesting post!
One remark, in fact an addition:
driver.cat (I believe this is the PnP information)I'm quite sure this is the WHQL license.
Further no remarks! Nice guide!
