Start here. http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/31/ Read it twice, and then once more, and go through it once step at a time. I got it working just right. Like you I am not a scripter so it's certainly going to work. Once you have a few in the runonce.cmd file, it kind of starts making sense. The first thing to do is make the file with 3 apps in it, and run it, then go into your registry and look for the entries. That will give you a clue.

Never mind. This just goes to prove that 2 hours sleep is NOT enough. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks to all those with the goods on these forums, this is going to make my regular reinstall a snap, and also helps me at work considerably as well. To the problem. I have made a DVD with the CD installs on it, using the runonce option to setup the needed applications upon first logging onto the system. The requested install goes to work, but none of the files are on the hardrive. I have made on the CD a $OEM$ cd, and under that the $1, the $$ etc folders. Under $1 I have placed a bin folder, and in that there is an installs folder, and a drivers folder. I set it up as a full unattendedinstall, and it's not working. In reading Gosh's post here (http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=9453) he mentions down the page under Tip#2: Using an oempreinstall you can copy files to your install, such as: $OEM$\$$\Web\Wallpaper - put wallpapers here $OEM$\$$\System32 - put screensavers, files such as cdimage.exe and cdburn.exe here $OEM$\$$\Resources\Themes - put themes here. To specify default them make a .theme file and specify it in unattend file. Does this mean that doing it as an unattended is not the best method? Should I make it an oempreinstall (which makes sense) instead? All help appreciated. Thanks.
