Hey folks

I already successfully managed to get an unattended method, installing my applications by using the audit mode.

However, I'd love to try out to run installation scripts by using "<FirstlogonCommands>" aswell

For some reason, commands listed under <FirstlogonCommands> don't seem to be executed, when I login with user "Sony" the 1st time.

Below is my AutoUnattend.xml. Would you mind givin it a shot ? Maybe some experienced user finds an error I got in there.

As you can see, I'd like to have it run the C:\install\install.cmd script (I already tried replacing "c:" with %systemdrive%, no go either), which is copied over from the dvd ($oem$\$1\MyFolders) during setup (working properly).

But for some reason it just ain't executed.

Thanks to everyone in advance

Sony

Update:

Nevermind. I added a "pause" into the script. Actually it was executed, but gave an error inside and closed immediately. Way too fast for the eye to capture.

Nevertheless, I will stick to this thread should I run into problems again

hi,

how did you solve it? do you have a working xml for me?

Thanks

I'm almost sure but don't sue me if I am wrong.

For first logon commands you have to configure the .xml with autologon and the name of the user in autologon has to be "administrator".

- <AutoLogon>
  <Enabled>true</Enabled> 
  <LogonCount>1</LogonCount> 
  <Username>Administrator</Username> 
  </AutoLogon>
