please post your runonce.cmd again in its current state, the nlite line should be of no consequence.

what happens when you double the .cmd? do the items end up in the registry as they should?

This is my cmdlines.txt

[Commands]

"rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection nLite.inf,U"

"./RunOnceEx.cmd"

and this is my RunOnceEx.cmd

SetLocal enableextensions

I am beginning to wonder if it is my directory structure as well... is this the proper layout?

CD Root---->$OEM$---->$$, cmdlines.txt, RunOnceEx.cmd

Also one quick question from reading, what is the difference between GUIRunOnce and RunOnceEx?

cmmcnamara, the cmdlines.txt goes in the $OEM$ folder. The things in the $$ folder are placed in the C:\Windows folder. See here for a description of the $OEM$ folder. Enjoy, John.

Sorry I wasn't very good at showing that tree. The folder $$ is in the $OEM$ folder and the cmdlines.txt and RunOnceEx.cmd is in the $OEM$ folder as well but not inside $$.

Anyone have any other ideas? I cannot see a way past this...

Is that a "./runonceex"? how about some backslash action

Ok thanks for all the help guys, I just cleared it up. I just changed all the REGKEY to KEY and it works. Also the CD method suggested didn't work, I went back to my original method and it ran smoothly.
