Having problems with RunOnceEx - programs craching

[egil]

Hi all

Hope somebody got some insights in to this, cus i've been staring at it for hours now.

When I run my RunOnceEx.cmd file, and then run this from the Run menu - rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess, it all works out perfect, but if I run RunOnceEx.cmd then reboots, things start to go wrong (I do this to have the RunOnceEx environment run as it would during an unattended install - and I do get the following problems during an unattended install as well).

In particular, IE, DirectX and QuickTime seem to fail. QuickTime tells me that QTPluginInstall.exe has generated errors and must be restarted.

When DirectX and IE are installed via the RunOnceEx windows bitches about 6-8 .sys files that cant do something with another file, mostly hal.dll (these files include: mskssrv.sys, STREAM.sys, MPE.sys, steamip.sys, slip.sys, ccdecode.sys, nabtsfec.sys, wstcodec.sys) .

If I install via a normal .cmd file, that just calles the installers as RunOnceEx does, it also works out just fine.

So is there anything special about the RunOnceEx section when its being run just after logon?

EDIT: This is for a Windows 2000 Pro unattended installation, being delivered from a RIS server. Everything else works out as it should.

Heres my RunOnceEx.cmd:
