Can someone help me with runoncex.cmd

[Cti]

I am not quite understanding the comands in runonceex.cmd

here is the example from the unattended Windows guide

cmdow @ /HID

@echo off

SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Adobe Reader 6" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\AdobeReader6\AR6.msi /qn" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "Alcohol 120" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\alcohol\setup.exe /qn" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 2 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\alcohol\register.reg" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "Diskeeper 8" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\DiskeeperPro_8.0.459.exe /s /v/qn" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\050 /VE /D "Importing Registry Tweaks" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\050 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\regtweaks.reg" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\055 /VE /D "Cleaning Up and Rebooting" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\055 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\cleanup.cmd" /f

EXIT

REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Adobe Reader 6" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\AdobeReader6\AR6.msi /qn" /f

Now what is the command in red doing ?

REG ADD %KEY%\055 /VE /D "Cleaning Up and Rebooting" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\055 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\cleanup.cmd" /f

Again the same thing here, also I see the /V and /D also /f at the end of the command ? these must be switches of some kind

Please forgive my ignorance

EDIT:

I am also having some trouble with cleanup.cmd

why would this not work ?

DEL "%WINDIR%\Media\Windows XP Ding.wav"

runonecex.cmd is just a batch file.

If you open a command window and

type reg.exe /?

You will get help on the command and switches

and what they do.

don't know about cleanup.cmd, it looks

like that should work to me too.

also from the guide:

"In short, all you really need to do is duplicate each REG ADD entry, but change the numbering and everything enclosed in quotations. If you want more information, type REG ADD /? at the Command Prompt"

lays it out very nicely what all the switches are

as for the cleanup, maybe because it is protected and/or remakes itself? thats just a spit in the dark. no idea really

Thanks , I guess I can figure out all the switches ...

I am still wondering what

REG ADD %KEY%\050 /VE /D "Importing Registry Tweaks" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\050 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\regtweaks.reg" /f

why have a reg key for importing registry tweaks .. the first one .. I don't get it ?

EDIT:

Yeah maybe it needs the /Q switch .. I will try

There could be tweaks that don't work unless they

are applied after setup has finished and your logged

into windows.

I have a tweak that unchecks the 'always show confirmation

when deleting files' thats on the recycle bin when you right click.

that doesn't work unless I apply it after I've loggee on
