i'm new at this unattended xp install stuff, i have however been able to get a working unattended xp disc with officexp, its adding all my programs im having trouble with. I have followed the msfn guide but there are still programs i cannot get to load (i'm using the virtual pc to test first and am getting soooo tired of waiting to see if each change i make works). these are the programs i would like to load and would love it if anyone knew the corrrect switches for them:

MsWorks (do i need a answer sheet for this one? and if so how)

Photoshop 7.0 (i read the post in here but still cant seem to get it)

Nvidia drivers (i tried putting this into my application folder and using like:

ECHO.

ECHO Installing Nvidia Drivers

ECHO Please wait...

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Nvidia\setup.exe /s

ECHO Installation Complete!

but that didnt work). i tried the same method for my epson scanner driver, needless to say that didnt work either.

any input would be greatly appreciated. and thanks in advance for your patience with a newbie.

You don't need to run a full Windows XP installation to test application installs. All you need is an up & running Windows XP workstation, and use the Command Prompt to test out switches.

dang, i didnt even think of that. thanks aaronxp. Does that install the program on my computer though. i dont want 2 of the same programs on there?

i found a workaround using AutoIt script which i have posted under....

"Can AutoIt fill in user input" in the application switch forum.

Hope this helps someone
