Softwares Installation for many users, possible ?

[r0sWell]

Hi,

here's my last problem in creating my Windows XP unattended CD :

on my 2nd Computer, i create 3 users.

Ok, fine.

but after the Windows installation, the batch file installs my softwares only for ONE user (the 1st account).

So when i arrive to the logon screen and choose the 2nd or the 3rd account to enter Windows, these 'secondary' accounts don't have any modifications i made with the 'principal' account.

these 3 accounts are members of the Administrators group.

so i'm wondering if there is a way to install my softwares for all of the 3 accounts created ?

i don't see how to do that.

thx in advance for your help.

Importing HKEY_CURRENT_USER Registry Tweaks

Does this help u?

Just very briefly: after first logon all of your settings are only saved in the _current_ user profile. When you logon as another user this user has got its own settings. The seperate user profiles are independent from each other.

One possible solution for this problem, see link above. Just install your software before first user-logon.

thx for your reply,

i read the guide you linked in your reply but i didn't understand everything, sorry

i'm looking for a way to install all my softwares for every user i can create after.

i think, as you said, that a method would be to launch my "tweaks.bat" (at the moment launched by [GuiRunOnce] in WINNT.SIF) in the "cmdlines.txt" ?

now in "cmdlines.txt", i have this :

[COMMANDS]
"useraccounts.cmd"

where in "useraccounts.cmd" are created my 1st account, and others accounts.

i'm wondering, can i have this to install my softwares for all users ? :

[COMMANDS]
"start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\tweaks.bat"
"useraccounts.cmd"

So all my softwares would be installed for the default user (is that correct ?), and after it launch "useraccounts.cmd" which will create my accounts ?

Or maybe with this method none of my accounts would get back my predefined settings because the settings would have been applied only for Defult user ?

thx a lot for your help and for guiding me.

it's really fuzzy for me.
