Poor, Lost Soul!

Under batch method, no window pops up after installing MSN 6.2.

It's a problem with the quotes, I think. You may need to consult Aaron. He's expert in this.

[Lost Soul]

yea im thinking of placing it on a batch until i can completly figure out why this is happening

[Lost Soul]

ok guys this problem isnt kool ive now put the install portion of my msn 6.2 on a batch.cmd file and im still getting this window to pop up, it seems its not poping up after the instal for msn 6.2 is finished but its poping up some where right when the msg plus 3 is finishing its instal, this is the ending part of my RunOnceEx file.

REG ADD %KEY%\100 /VE /D "MSN Messenger 6.2" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\100 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Messenger\batch.cmd" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\100 /V 2 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Messenger\register.reg" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\105 /VE /D "Messenger Plus 3" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\105 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Messenger Plus\MsgPlus-301.exe /SilentInstallNoSponsor" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\105 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\install\pskill msnmsgr.exe" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\105 /V 3 /D "%systemdrive%\install\pskill iexplore.exe" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\110 /VE /D "Norton Systemworks 2003" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\110 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\norton\Setup.exe /qn Reboot=Suppress " /f

REG ADD %KEY%\115 /VE /D "Cleaning Up and Rebooting" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\115 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\cleanup.cmd" /f

EXIT

if yall see any thing i could probably do to fix this folder poping up situation id be forever grateful..

try putting the kill command later in the script....

I have AIM and DeadAIM in my routine, and I install AIM, then start AIM....but while it's starting I install something else, THEN kill it later on to make sure it loads fully. Maybe you need to do the same thing?

Alanoll

ive just tested it out with the kill later on in the script right before the norton utilities like this

REG ADD %KEY%\100 /VE /D "MSN Messenger 6.2" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\100 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Messenger\MsnMsgs.msi /qn" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\100 /V 2 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Messenger\register.reg" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\105 /VE /D "Messenger Plus 3" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\105 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Messenger Plus\MsgPlus-301.exe /SilentInstallNoSponsor" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\105 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\install\pskill msnmsgr.exe" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\105 /V 3 /D "%systemdrive%\install\pskill iexplore.exe" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\110 /VE /D "Norton Systemworks 2003" /f

RED ADD %KEY%\110 /V 1 /D "taskkill.exe /F /FI \"WINDOWTITLE eq Messenger*\"" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\110 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\norton\Setup.exe /qn Reboot=Suppress " /f

REG ADD %KEY%\115 /VE /D "Cleaning Up and Rebooting" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\115 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\cleanup.cmd" /f

EXIT

but for some strange reason its still not killing that window do you think i have that

kill line right

RED ADD %KEY%\110 /V 1 /D "taskkill.exe /F /FI \"WINDOWTITLE eq Messenger*\"" /f

this is very strange it seems nothing i do right now is killing that screen

ive tried using a unextracted msn 6.2

ive tried a /QB and a lower case /qb plus ive tried it the way Aeonxp does it with the files ectraxted using the /qn

any new ideals ?

[Lost Soul]

you know im trying now just to test out if i can get the taskkill.exe with the right command to kill an opened window.

ive made a small batch and placed it in testing folder to try to see if i can kill the folder its not even killing it

heres my batch

@echo off

taskkill.exe /F /FI "WINDOWTITLE eq testing"

EXIT

im still not having any luck

[Lost Soul]

ok so far this taskkill method only kills processes like programs and html pahes and things like that

@echo off

taskkill /F /FI "WINDOWTITLE ne untitle*"

EXIT

it does not kill folders but heres the strange part, once a folder is open thats considered a window also, right ? well if thats true why cant it be killed by this method..

any ideals

[Lost Soul]

well since i couldnt find a way to kill that folder that pops up for somereason its brought on by the messenger plus 3 instal ive alter the arrangment of last few instals in runonceex by playing the messenger plus 3, its not the best way to do it but now when that folder pops up its not up very long because of my reboot cmd well i think im gonna let this folder thing rest now but if any body has any ideals why the messenger 6.2 instal folder is popping up because of the messenger plus 3 please let me know

thanks for every ones time and effort in helping me try to fix this problem
