Run *.bat file during or after install?!

[V I R U S]

Hi all!

Is there some possibility to run a *.bat file during install, to take some tweaks or after install?

I saw one possibility with $OEM$ folder, used for WPI, but i will run the script directly from CD w/out copying it to HDD.

Is there such possibility?!

u will get command console

Ahm... I mean automatically, during installation =))

you need to copy the files to hd first, then you can use winnt.sif

%systemdrive%\batchfile.bat

in $OEM$ folder put PRECOPY.BAT

@ECHO OFF

1. I was asking if it's possible to run files from CD directly, without copying it to HDD.

2. I think the part you gave comes from nLite which is designed for XP only, cause there is no WINNT.SIF file on CD...

As i see there, it's possible to set the file you wish to run on firstLogin. Mby there is possibility to run it during install too???

		<SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">
		<Order>1</Order>
		<CommandLine>%Systemdrive%\Install\install.bat</CommandLine>
		</SynchronousCommand>
	  </FirstLogonCommands>

%Systemdrive% - most time it's C:

Is there some parameter to determine the CD-ROM dirve too? Like %CDROM%, so that just to replace and execute the files directly from CD?

No one knows?!

Try to help from Legolash2Go. He makes some unattended installations that work with windows vista during installation. he is the maker of vista update toolkit & also a member of msfn or download vista update toolkit from wincert.com
