[registry entries not merging at guirunonce]

i took out the /s and it pops up the "are you sure you want to add .reg to the registry?" box so its finding regedit fine

[registry entries not merging at guirunonce]

this is my GuiRunOnce:

[GUIRunOnce]
	command1 = "%SystemDrive%\D\BTS_DPs_finish.cmd"
	command2 = "%systemroot%\system32\wpi.cmd"
	command3 = "%systemroot%\system32\regs.cmd"

wpi.cmd is pretty much the standard WPI script:

@ECHO OFF

REM Example, how to look for CDROM-drive. Must have WPI.ico at the root of the CD.
for %%i in (C 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:\WPI.ico set CDROM=%%i:
echo Found CD-Rom as drive %CDROM%

REM Determine the WPI startup path. 
REM if wpi should run off the cd the replace %~dp0 with %cdrom%.
set wpipath=%cdrom%\WPI_v4.3.8\

REM Hide this command window.
%wpipath%Tools\cmdow.exe @ /hid

REM Special registry tweak needed.
regedit /s %wpipath%common\wpi.reg

REM Make WPI directory the current directory.
cd /d "%wpipath%"

REM Start WPI and wait for its end
wpi.hta

REM Undo registry tweak.
regedit /s %wpipath%common\undo.reg

exit

:end

[registry entries not merging at guirunonce]

for some reason, none of the .reg files that are called from my GuiRunOnce batch scripts are actually merging into the registry. however, if i use the GuiRunOnce test method once windows setup finished, the reg files merge fine. this applies to Current User as well as Local Machine entries. any ideas why they're not merging?

[Giving Your Windows Cosmetic Surgery]

or you could do this.....

;
; Version 2.0
;

[version]
signature = "$CHICAGO$"
Compatible = 1
AdvancedINF = 2.5,"You need a newer version of AdvPack.DLL!"
LayoutFile = layout.inf, layout1.inf, layout2.inf


[DefaultInstall]
AddReg  = Add

[Add]
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","UIHost",0x00020000,"%systemroot%\Resources\LogonUI\logonui.exe"

save as inf.

and then somewhere probally after your other reg commands add this....

"RunDll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 %Path to INF%"

if i understand you correctly, i would for example copy logonui.exe to $OEM$\$$\Resources\LogonUI\ then create logon.inf in $OEM$\$1\install\logon\ with the text you have in the (CODE) tags, then in one of the [GUIRUNONCE] .cmd files i would put:

ECHO Installing custom logon screen
RunDll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 %systemdrive%\install\logon\logon.inf

is that right? or do i need the quotes or a different path for that last line?

thanks a bunch
