You just need to find the silent install switches for that application. Then you can put it into first logon commands. I personally use this type:

			<FirstLogonCommands>
                <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">
                    <Order>1</Order>
                    <Description>Install program</Description>
                    <CommandLine>cmd /C start /wait c:\install.cmd</CommandLine>
                </SynchronousCommand>
            </FirstLogonCommands>

So I use a CMD because I need to do more than one thing at a time. Either you can just use a CMD as well, or put the install command directly in that CommandLine spot.

1. <FirstLogonCommands> ...... i add to my Autounattend.xml file?

2. I Mount image, create my folder, copy exe file, copy CMD file , Un-Mount. that it?

From what I understand, you could add it to the unattend.xml in Panther on an image that was sysprepped without an answer file. I wouldn't install into Audit Mode, it can install in OOBE mode.

So is this how the command prompt in WinPE is done?

What pass?

I need to replace the booted Command prompt in a WinPE with a scripted command prompt to (like you say) do multiple things.

I have assuming I could do this but it sounds like you are pretty much describing what I need to do.

After a functional WinPE is running with basic windows command line, I need to run commands to fix up the AutoUnattend on writable disk (merge tow of them actually) and then (re)start the (separate source)DVD installer for the real (non-WinPE) install.

The details aren't important, but the idea is to "do some stuff" from WinPE and reboot.

So, likely I could just call this out in the Windows PE section of the (WINPE) AutoUnattend.xml file.

Cool.

Thanks.
