Hmmm... well, one thing I that really shouldn't be posted here is that blacklisted WinXP key. I'd recommend editing the post and add all "X"'s for the key. other than that, one of the other gurus here should take a crack at yer code.

[DarkPhoenix]

Honestly, posting your Product Key, especially that specific one, is a bad idea.

[diesel_98a]

is each app in its own folder? u make it sound like everything is just in the application folder as: %systemdrive%\install\Applications. for example: not %systemdrive%\install\Applications\DAP7, which is the way u have it listed.

[Matrix Hacker]

i'm sorry guys .. i just edited my post and removed the serial number ...

and i made a folder for every program inside the (Applications) folder..

and i made the right code for it inside the (batch_file.cmd) as you can see above ..

the proplem is that they copied themselves into the c:/install/applications

but they never got unattended install ..

so,please guys help me out with this and i will be thankful ..

[ZoSTeR]

A little debugging advice:

Remove the @ECHO OFF and add a PAUSE after every start command. This way you see what going wrong in your batch.

And you must add quotes around paths with blanks in them or better yet remove the blanks all together.

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Deamon Tools\daemon343.exe /S /W

should become

start "" /wait "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Deamon Tools\daemon343.exe" /S /W

[Matrix Hacker]

Thanks for trying to help me out ..

but i took my code from the Examples page in the site www.unattended.msfn.org..

and they didn't put " " in every app ..

see this page for sure ..

http://www.unattended.msfn.org/xp/examples.htm

.. please guys what my cd is not making an unattended program install ??

and thank you all..

[ZoSTeR]

and they didn't put " " in every app ..

That's because there are no spaces in their file paths.

Is your Batch_file.cmd being started at all?

[[BM]Crusher]

no reply for Zoster?? i'm interested if your batch is being executed too..

[[BM]Crusher]

For Daemon Tools and Acrobat Reader, use the MSI installation method instead it's much better... (MSFN have instructions in the Application Switches thread I think)

Don't use spaces at all.... they are just confusing

Convert to a RunOnceEx installation method, it's cleaner....

instead of running your batch file through GuiRunOnce, execute it from cmdlines.txt instead (it will run at T-13)

For the RunOnceEx method, the actual numbers don't really mean anything... as long as they are in order (mine goes from 001 to 005 to 010) I leave a bit of a gap in between numbers in case I want to add something near the start of the list later (i could put it in as number 2 or 3 for example)

Make your batch file look similar to this one:
