Problem with unattended install cd

**jbm** · February 9, 2008

you sure it's "/WIN" and not "\WIN"? i got an error, i'm running the install now.

Of course your right.

**Preferiti** · February 9, 2008

could you take a look at the error and see if you know what is the cause?

**jbm** · February 9, 2008

Sure, If I don;t know there's surely someone else here

who will.

**Preferiti** · February 10, 2008

i think i found out where the error is coming from. it has to be one of my installs of my apps. i'm running through the apps individually.

but shouldn't they be installed after it logs into windows? not during the installation?

Depends why don't you post a copy of your cmdlines.txt file

Also I noticed in you runonceex.cmd file you have

SET PP=%cdrom%\Install\
REG ADD %KEY%\000 /V 1 /D "%PP%install\WGAPluginInstall.exe /Q" /f

Which would end up as %cdrom%\Install\install\WGAPluginInstall.exe /Q

don't know if thats what you want or not.

cmdlines.txt

[COMMANDS]
"RunOnceEx.cmd"

and about that command line. thanks for the pickup. i had it twice there.

**jbm** · February 10, 2008

cmdlines.txt
[COMMANDS]
"RunOnceEx.cmd"

Don't see anything wrong there.

But where is your Runonceex.cmd

You also never said what the last error was you were getting

Yes apps installed through runonceex are normally

installed at first logon.

i've changed it around since the last install. so i'll post back with an update to see if it worked.

**Preferiti** · February 11, 2008

ok i'm in the middle of installing it right now and so far so good. it's still doing the installing xp stage. i'll post after work about what happens at the GUI stage.

btw here's my code. and thanks so much for your help JBM

ok well the install went through. however, my runonceex.cmd did not run. how do you make it run once you get into the GUI update?

The only thing I can think of right now is your runonceex.cmd is not in the root of the $OEM$

directory. The same place as cmdlines.txt. If it's not you have to specify the path to it.

Or you've misspelled the name of the command file.

**Preferiti** · February 11, 2008

yeah i just caught that as i was going through my code. so i had to end up editing my cmdlines.txt also. i have it add my user account. so my cmdlines.txt is as follows

[COMMANDS]
"useraccounts.cmd"
"RunOnceEx.cmd"

i'm running the install right now.

**Preferiti** · February 12, 2008

ok the install went through and the installs went through. i have to fine tune the silent arguments for them though. oh. the resolution didn't change to the 1900x1200. it should be enabled cause of my drivers being installed. but its only like 800x600 i think. i'll find out what exactly. but why didn't it change?

The drivers need to be signed for that to work

**Preferiti** · February 12, 2008

My driver is signed. should i try to lower it? will try that next when i find out the silent arguments for the numerous non silent installs on my disc almost have my complete unattended windows xp pro install disc
