Newbe need help

Hello guys. I found your site few days ago. I'm interested to make Unattended XP CD. I have a few questions.

1) I want to use the RunOnceEx window. So I understand a big part of the things but i'm not sure that i'm on the rght way For example i want to install WinRar. I want to install it in program files. So RunOnceEx.cmd file should look lite this one?

cmdow @ /HID
@echo off

SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Preparing Installation..." /f
REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Program Files\prepare.cmd" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "WinRar 3.3" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Program Files\WinRar\wrar330.exe /s

EXIT

I should put the installation exe in C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\Program Files\WinRar\ right?

2) How to add a key to registry. I know that with start.cmd should look like this one

REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\Applications\flashget\register.reg

and in RunOnceEx.cmd should be like that one?

REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 2 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\Applications\flashget\register.reg" /f

3) So my computer is with xp Bulgarian edition with i386 directory on hard disk (no Xp bulgarian edition cd ). So is possible to copy over the original i386 directory (in my xp english disk) the i386 dir from my hard disk and have normal working xp bulgarian cd. Is there a problem if i use the other files from the original xp cd

REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Program Files\WinRar\wrar330.exe /s

that is incorrect.. thats pointing 2 where the program is located... the .exe file has a predefined path that it will install 2.. which is program files\winrar.. u are just telling setup where 2 look for the file

so say u have C:\Install as where u put all your programs

u would put

REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\wrar330.exe /s

hope this explains a bit, goto http://unattended.msfn.org for more info

You need to put a " /f at the end of that Winrar line though.
