Hello,

Could someone explain me how I can install programs from the DVD of Windows 7?

In Windows XP:

- Create Folder @ CD (root\Software\..)

- Create a RunOncEx.cmd and call it from CMDlines

.cmd contains:

@echo off

SetLocal EnableExtensions
SET CDROM=%~d0

SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing blabla.." /f

REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Installing blabla." /f
REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%~d0\SOFTWARE\Setup.exe /SP- /VERYSILENT /NORESTART" /f

EndLocal

EXIT

But with Windows 7 this doesnt work?

What is the easiest way to install some applications from the DVD (without using $OEM$ folder)?

Someone that can tell me how to? Thank you!

There are really two options - either in the specialize settings pass, via component "Microsoft-Windows-Deployment" as a RunSynchronous section's RunSynchronousCommand command, or in the oobeSystem settings pass, via component "Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" as a FirstLogonCommands section's SynchronousCommand. Here's a snippet from one of my unattend files, showing the relevant passes and sections only:

	...
	</settings>
	<settings pass="oobeSystem">

				</SynchronousCommand>
			</FirstLogonCommands>
		</component>
	...
	</settings>

Obviously this is just a snippet of these sections - use the WSIM or MDT+WAIK if you need a GUI to try and configure this.

Thanks, I am using firstlogoncommands now, but is there a way to install the executables from the DVD, so without using the $OEM$ folder to copy the files to the harddrive, just start them from the Windows 7 DVD.

There is a easier way.

I have found after long searching a tool where you can do everything with such as:

*intregating updates from windows;

*intregating software into install.wim file ( does it all by him self)

*driver intregation.

no and its not vlite or nlite, its i a better one special for windows 7.

I'm trying it out but i love it at the moment.

You mean Windows 7 Toolkit?

hi, i found it a right in the a** trying 2 add some silent installs 2 vista & win7.

what i did was was copy the file over in the setup [$OEM$] u could just put the files in a folder on the disc.

when i made a CMD that saves 2 the desktop when the setup is runnin [$OEM$], so when the desktop coms up i just click on the CMD and the silent installs start the last command deletes the folder.

i found this the best way coz when i was try with SETUPCOMPLETE.CMD [basically RunOncEx.cmd in vista/win7] thing where bein installed but icons and start menu entries were not showin up i found out it was something 2 do with somethings bein install 2 the pubic user & others to the main user.

i know this is not the way u want 2 do it but it is an option & it works great.

good luck!

cheers james

Yes thats it Raoul90 , but if i look on that site can i leave the number 90 away

Coming back to you setupcomplete.cmd i've have no problem with it, a part i have intregatedwith the tool kit but the bigger programs like office i use the setcomplete file.

I use FirstLogonCommands.

Just make sure to include a variable (such as the one being used in the Unattended Guide of MSFN) so that you can put your folder/setups wverywhere you want, including DVD.

Yes I know, but where should i put it and what to put there.

I assume something like:

FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\bootmgr SET CDROM=%%

But where should I put it?
