Thank you for a tip I thought I can run it only during/after(?) installtion. Will try to make it work tomorrow. WPI meets all my requirements I guess. I was just surfing around trying to make the list of possible solutions. I guees I'll pay more attention to WPI now. Thank you.

Well, this is one of the best forum online I'm done with my first unattended Windows CD - works like a charm. Now the second step: applications. Unattended installations, switches, bla-bla... But I'm stuck in the beginning... OK. Here is my idea. There are options to install software thru RunOnce or WPI (which looks great), but I don't want to install during Windows installation. I want to be able to insert CD in PC with installed XP or just installed, mark checkboxes, hit start, and wait... What options do I have? Use any Autorun building software? And just run setups with switches? I want to gain freedom to install software any time... What do I loose not using RunOnce or WPI. Why so many people try to install everything during Windows setup like maniacs? Am I missing smth? I need just a direction to start my move ) Thanks.
