Help with my unattended XP.

[ijwcomp]

Hi again,

I am having some problems with my unattended XP setup, one of them when it is still installing programs from my batch file:

Batch File:

Most of the programs refer to AutoIT scripts (keeps my Program Files folder tidy as I can set where it installs etc...) and the this batch file is launched from nLite's Unattended section.

First of all, about when the computer is installing Microsoft Office 2007, it starts to load the taskbar, desktop and the startup programs. This unfortunately, disrupts my other AutoIT scripts as all these programs are demanding the user's interaction.

Secondly, I would like to increase the screen resolution. I have already set the screen resolution to 1024x768 on nLite but it doesn't change it to that resoultion (stuck on 640x480) (the display can change to 1024x768 without drivers)

1.) Maybe you add "start/wait" like this:

rem Stage 5 - Large Programs
start/wait "%Source%JW\STAGE5\office\setup.exe"

2.) You`ll need to integrate the driver for your hardware.

Ok, I'll try these two suggestions. Will get back when I am done.

1.) Maybe you add "start/wait" like this:

rem Stage 5 - Large Programs
start/wait "%Source%JW\STAGE5\office\setup.exe"

To prevent the setup path being incorrectly seen as "Title", I'd suggest this instead

start "" /wait "%Source%JW\STAGE5\office\setup.exe"

You can obviously place your own Title between the first set of double-quotes too!

Took me a while to actually have enough time to tinker around with it...

And yes, thanks Yzöwl and g-force it works now
