Internet connection during setupcomplete.cmd

[ptd163]

I want to run a Ninite installer during the setupcomplete.cmd phase. However, since making an offline Ninite installer (what they call "freezing") is a Pro only feature so I need to have an internet connection if I want to run them.

 

Is it possible to have an internet connection during setupcomplete.cmd?

are you on a lan or wireless connection?

@ptd163, you haven't answered submix8c's question from the other duplicate, locked, thread:

 

... still confused.... If your install includes networking, you are physically connected, and you've come to your Desktop, why *wouldn't* you have an internet connection?

I don't know why i wouldn't have an internet connection. I'm using a MSDN Windows 7 SP1 ISO formatted to a USB drive. Maybe there's something I'm not doing or something I'm doing wrong, but I always have to install drivers to get an internet connection once I get through the OOBE and to the desktop. And since the OOBE & setupcomplete.cmd stages are before getting to the desktop I don't have an internet connection during those stages.

*NOW* you say you "have to install drivers" (apparently *not* supplied in Windows 7)...

 

Start here and read (click on) the links given and the very next page.

You need to add the drivers to an Unattended XML file.

 

Problems solved and HTH (sheesh...)
