xracer Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Which would be best for use with XPC and how is it integrated into it? Examples?There are certain applications I'd like to run silent during install, and in the case of Adobe 6 reader, it won't install at T13 (says XP must complete first). Please be patient, noob behind wheel, but making progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 i use RunOnceEX it is very easy to integrate into the cd making process, simply follow the guide here http://unattended.msfn.org/ especially this page http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/runonceex.htm where it says C:\XPCD\$OEM$\ use \XPCREATE\FILESCD instead and make your $OEM$ Folders in FILESCD folder.

GreenMachine Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 I would say it is a matter of personal esthetic preference: both can accomplish the same installation results. RunOnceEx looks prettier, GuiRunOnce is simpler. I use RunOnceEx, as I have it all automated. If I were to do it by hand, I would certainly consider GuiRunOnce. My two cents ...

xracer Posted April 22, 2004 Author Share Posted April 22, 2004 I can do complete installs without any issues now (not sure about the hotfixes), except that I can't seem to get any programs to install. My reg tweak is I think, but it seems to just skip over the program install. I only tried one to keep it simple.Edit: I tried again with another program, but didn't install either. They are in theC:\Install\Applications folder, so at least that's working right. Should they be extracted first?cmdow @ /HID@echo offSET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceExREG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /fREG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Preparing Installation..." /fREG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\prepare.cmd" /fREG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "ZoneAlarm" /fREG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D %systemdrive%\install\Applications\ZoneAlarm\zlssetup_45_594_000.exe /s /noreboot /fREG ADD %KEY%\050 /VE /D "Importing Registry Tweaks" /fREG ADD %KEY%\050 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\!SafeProAllstart.reg" /fREG ADD %KEY%\055 /VE /D "Cleaning Up and Rebooting" /fREG ADD %KEY%\055 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\cleanup.cmd" /fEXIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xracer Posted April 24, 2004 Author Share Posted April 24, 2004 bumpSorry, just trying to resolve this last issue as I can't seem to find the problem. I can do complete installs without any issues now (not sure about the hotfixes), except that I can't seem to get any programs to install. It seems to just skip over the program install even though the install message pops up and looks like it's going to work. I only tried one app and reg tweak to keep it simple.Edit: I tried again with another program, but didn't install either. They are in theC:\Install\Applications folder after the OS is installed, so at least that's working right. Should they be extracted first? cmdow @ /HID@echo offSET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceExREG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /fREG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Preparing Installation..." /fREG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\prepare.cmd" /fREG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "ZoneAlarm" /fREG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D %systemdrive%\install\Applications\ZoneAlarm\zlssetup_45_594_000.exe /s /noreboot /fREG ADD %KEY%\050 /VE /D "Importing Registry Tweaks" /fREG ADD %KEY%\050 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\!SafeProAllstart.reg" /fREG ADD %KEY%\055 /VE /D "Cleaning Up and Rebooting" /fREG ADD %KEY%\055 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\cleanup.cmd" /fEXIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 You forgot to close it off with quotations like every other REG ADD entry you have."%systemdrive%\install\Applications\ZoneAlarm\zlssetup_45_594_000.exe /s /noreboot" /f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
