p4killer Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 First off, I'm new to the forum, and I've been reading through previous posts relating to this but probably not all, so bear with me and hopefully point me in the right direction...I've been trying to make an unattended install disc for 98se, which also installs ie6sp1, dx9b, the "unofficial" sp 1.2, and a few other updates. Please don't flame me about the outdatedness of 98se, etc... I work for a small computer company and I need to create said disc because we still sell lots of used computers with 98se. I used the ms batch creator and told it to execute a .reg file, in which I tell 98 to load the updates in the RunOnce and other .reg files for subsequent updates following restarts. I've tried about 10 combinations thereof, i.e. loading some things in RunServicesOnce and others RunOnce, etc... and I sortof got what I wanted at one point, except that ie6setup /q would NOT load from RunOnce, and I had no idea why because all the other updates (sp 1.2, dx9) would load from RunOnce fine...?!?So, is there a better way to go about doing this, without a bunch of reg files? I'm sure the answer is yes, but I need some resources on how to do it right...Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeMaC Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 maybe xplode might help u I dunno if it works with 98 installs but it'd be a good replacement.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 nope.I've been trying to get it to work on a Win98 machine i have, and even moving gdiplus.dll does not get it to work. There are some missing functions that are included XP and 2000 that 98 doesn't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 how about using the correct switches i dont know off hand but i know it isnt just /q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p4killer Posted March 18, 2004 Author Share Posted March 18, 2004 I'll check into xplode... as far as switches go, was confused me was that just /q worked if I manually ran it from a prompt, but not in the .reg file... :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p4killer Posted March 20, 2004 Author Share Posted March 20, 2004 looks like xplode is only for 2k and up. oh well. I shall persist, however, until I either succeed or run out of options... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p4killer Posted March 24, 2004 Author Share Posted March 24, 2004 I finally got it to do what I wanted... I needed a reg entry like so:REGEDIT4[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]"ie6setup"="C:\\WINDOWS\\OPTIONS\\UPDATES\\IE6SP1\\ie6setup.exe /Q:A /C:\"ie6wzd /S:\"\"#e\"\" /Q /M:2 /R:N\"" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfear Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 You just need to use:REGEDIT4[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]"ie6setup"="C:\\WINDOWS\\OPTIONS\\UPDATES\\IE6SP1\\Ie6setup.exe /Q:A /R:N"It's more than enough for Windows 98SE.pfear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
