Are These Right?

[Dirago]

I will admit that I am new to this and I have read (and downloaded) the tutorials. I am able to get alot (around 24 apps) to install unattended but, I am having problems with these five. I am using the RunOnceEX to install all these but, like I said the following I am having trouble with. Can anyone tell me what I have done wrong?

REG ADD %KEY%\105 /VE /D "Acrobat Pro 6.0" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\105 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Acrobat\AcroPro.msi /QR

REG ADD %KEY%\112 /VE /D "Diskeeper 8" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\112 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\DK8\DKPro.exe /s" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\125 /VE /D "Quicken Deluxe 2003" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\125 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Quicken2003\Quicken2003.exe /s" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\165 /VE /D "BPS" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\165 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\BPS Spyware\bpssr82-FV.exe /s" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\175 /VE /D "LimeWire Pro" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\175 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\LimeWire\LimeWireWin.exe /s" /f

Mods: Please move if I am in the wrong place.

Thanks

Can you post your whole runonceex.cmd file?

I want to see the other apps you installed & the switches.

REG ADD %KEY%\105 /VE /D "Acrobat Pro 6.0" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\105 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Acrobat\AcroPro.msi /QR" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\112 /VE /D "Diskeeper 8" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\112 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\DK8\DKPro.exe /s" /f (bad switch? Its /s /v/qn on mine.)

REG ADD %KEY%\165 /VE /D "BPS" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\165 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\BPS Spyware\bpssr82-FV.exe /s" /f

You should proof-read it. As for the rest, they could be wrong application switches, did you test them before placing them into RunOnceEx code?

Aaron: I did test them (sort of) what I am getting is what is coded in red is prompting me for action. What is coded in Blue is not installing at all, the window with the exe pops up but, dosen't install.

I forgot that I was able to get Adobe Acrobat Pro 6.0 to install (silently) but, when I start up adobe I get: "No Valid Acrobat Serial Number Found. Acrobat will now quit." (I removed the Serial Number for security purposes)

First off, I think you should read this post: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=21582

Secondly, you can try your image in an emulator like VirtualPC or VMWare and test your cd out. Have a pen and paper and make any notes on typos like links to files being incorrect or programs not running unattendly. Then go back to your source files (always keep the folder where your source is compiled from) and make any modifications and retest. That my friend, is the fool proof way.

First off my appologizes on the post.

Secondly, I am using VirturalPC to test my image hence my first post with the code for 5 apps that I am having trouble with. I am trying Aaron suggestions now and hopefuly that works. The trouble I am having is as follows:

Adobe Acrobat Pro, loads silently with no problems but, when I start the app after install I get this error: "No Valid Acrobat Serial Number Found. Acrobat will now quit" I do have the correct serial number in so I am guessing that there is something wrong with the Abcpy.ini file that's why the post on that.

Diskeeper Pro 8 Loads but, it prompts for action ie: click next to install etc, just as if I were installing it normally from windows.

Quicken Deluxe 2003 does the same thing as Diskeeper Pro 8.

BPS SpyWare and LimeWire Pro, when Windows gets to them to install them it just opens the folder up with the exe in it and that's it. So it dosen't install them. I am guessing I have the wrong switch for them also.

Again my appologies for not following the rules, I didn't mean to and yes I should have read them......

[fillalph]

For Adobe Acrobat Pro your serial shouldn't have any dashes. It should be in the following form: 123456790.... (ie. no spaces, no dashes).

That is what mine looks like.

For diskeeper (and Quicken I imagine), my guess is an incorrect switch or maybe just the syntax. Here is what mine looks like:

setup.exe /S /v"/qn"

Good luck

Thanks Bonkers for the help. I am not putting any dashes in my serial but, from what you have posted (abcpy.ini) I see a change I need to make. I will give the switches you have suggested a try.

Thanks again.
