peppecal Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Hello everyone,i'm trying to do an unattended installation of windows xp. Since I'm installing the system via VirtualBox, I wanted to know if you could specify in the answer file the automatic shutdown of the system after installation is complete. I am sure of your help, thanks in advance...peppecal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 (edited) You can do it with an answer file that has a GuiRunOnce command and then a batch file in the $OEM$ folders.Use something like this for GuiRunOnce...REG ADD HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Runonce /v Shutdown /d %SystemDrive%\shutdown.batand in shutdown.bat have....ping -n 15 127.0.0.1 >NULshutdown -sI would think that perhaps just adding shutdown -s to the GuiRunOnce might do the trick but I forget if the desktop is fully loaded at that point.Let me know if you need a more detailed response.
