Maybe a noob problem with script

[elmatadorbr]

Hi guys!

I'm new on unattend install, and i having some problems...i get the idea about driverpacks, updates, themes, tweaks, etc...but the apps autoinstall are making me nuts!! I made some installations with autoit, others with silent switches, and about this everything is ok. But, why the script aren't working? It shows only a command prompt with a syntax error for every line:

(RunOnceEx Method, huh?)

Well most of the problems are likely cause by the non-logical addition of the trailing backslash in your %PP% variable.

I've made a few changes to the syntax, I have no intention of looking at any programs and/or switches however so you'll need to do your own research etc. for any which do fail to load unattendedly during installation.

Hope this helps you out a little!

Thanks a lot my friend!! But something else happened now...nothing!

The installation runs okay, but on the phase of installing apps, nothing happens! I've put the command on the "commands to execute on first run" or something like that on Nlite, but nothing happened...why? Another noob error I guess...

Thanks a lot guys!!

If nothing is happening then the most likely scenarios are that either your Install directory is not located in the root of the installation media or a problem with your implementation through nLite.

Yes, it is. Is on the folder "Install", on the root of installation. Anyway, i'll try doing by scratch again and tell to you!

are you doing this on sp3? if so i have found the searching for cd.txt in the different drives fails i reverted to the local format

if it sp2 i will have a closer look at it as it worked fien for me on sp2

Yeah, it is SP3! I didn't undersand well what would be this reversion...

Please read the MSFN unattended guide...

You are using the 'RunOnceEx from CD' method, and this relies on the reg-entries that handles the installations to be imported before first logon, like e.g. at T-12(cmdlines.txt) or T-13(svcpack.inf).

nLite doesn't have any GUI options for getting those reg-entries imported before first-logon, so instead of adding the commands to nLite's 'Runonce' section, then you could e.g. manually include a batchfile with those commands into the '$OEM$' folder and then add the batchfiles name surrounded by double-quotes to 'cmdlines.txt'.

If you're using sp3, surely you should be checking the root drive for WIN51IP.SP3!

[elmatadorbr]

Yeah, now i read it with more attention! But i understand better now...

i'm tryin a maybe simple method, that is including a line in cmdlines.txt to execute my script, and if it works, will make fine tune to installers and cleaning!

EDIT:

Now everything is working fine!!! Thanks a lot guys!! Now still some small errors with the installations, plus anothers i'll put into disc! Thanks!!
