have you considered using REG.EXE? Supposedly you can replace values.....

So then you just have those few lines in your REG file that require the change in your CMD file (RunOnceEX maybe?)

**MCT** · July 15, 2004

ill look into reg.exe thanks

**Alanoll** · July 15, 2004

If it's just for replacing C: with %CDROM% or whatever, refer to the RunOnceEX from CD guide on the website, it should show you the syntax pretty much for REG.EXE and give you an example of usage.

**MCT** · July 15, 2004

i think we're on 2 sepeate paths now :S lol im lost

instead of having

:Foobare

Regedit /S %CDROM%\Install\Reg\foobar2000e.reg

it would mod the original .reg file & replace C: with E: anything that will do that?

**|00|** · July 15, 2004

why not to call a little vbs script via a .cmd file ?

e.g

================================

VBS script (call it foo.vbs)

it aims to install all formats

btw you can modify it

place it in ...\$OEM$\$1\Install\applications\foobar

with foobar.exe (rename it if necessary)

================================

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

On Error Resume Next

WshShell.Run ("c:\install\applications\foobar\foobar.exe /S")

WScript.Sleep 10000

WshShell.SendKeys "{DOWN}"

WScript.Sleep 800

WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB 2}"

WScript.Sleep 500

WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"

WScript.Sleep 6000

WshShell.SendKeys "{SPACE}"

WScript.Sleep 500

WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB 2}"

WScript.Sleep 500

WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"

WScript.Sleep 500

Wscript.Quit

================================

in the batch that you call with winnt.sif e.g

================================

ECHO Installing foobar v0.8 special

ECHO please, wait...

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\foobar\foo.vbs

with a vbs script you can install each option you want

you don't need .reg

but you are wright if you need it, it is :

REGEDIT /S

**MCT** · July 15, 2004

i never thought of that that could be a good possibility, do u know of a guide or something i can refrence off of 2 learn vbs ? ive never done it b4

EDIT: found one, http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....mthsendkeys.asp if anyone wants it

thanks

**|00|** · July 15, 2004

to make it simple

Set WshShell = WScript.NOCreateObject("WScript.Shell")

On Error Resume Next

--> copy and paste it

WshShell.Run

--> too run a command

here, runs foobar install

WScript.Sleep 10000

--> pause 10000 ms = 10 sec

WshShell.SendKeys

--> DOWN = DOWN

--> TAB 2 = TAB two times

Wscript.Quit

--> to close

if you want to know the keys, make a simple install and note each key you need to install foobar you own way...
