how to change the color of background - guirunonce ? run from winnt.sif

If you mean the grey background on the window, you can't. That's managed by the Windows theme.

or if you mean the cmd do this

0=balck (use it for backround)

1=blue

2=green

3=aqua

4=red

5=purple

6=yellow

7=white

8=gray

9=light blue

a=light green

b=light aqua

c=light red

d=light purple

e=light yellow

f=bright white

well thats all of them, first numeral is back round second

is the letter color

color 09 is black w\light blue lettering

ECHO.

color 09

ECHO Installing what ever

or if you mean the cmd do this

Oops, yeah. I was talking about the RunOnceEx window.

My mistake.

if u specify a program to run in winnt.sif it runs a blue background. its that blue color i want to change

example of xplode :

3.) Use [GUIRunOnce]inside Winnt.sif

Add this line underneath the section to start XPinstall using the default XPInstall.xml file

"%Systemdrive%\Install\XPinstall.exe"

Add this line if you want to start XPinstall using an alternate XML file such as test.xml

"%Systemdrive%\Install\XPinstall.exe /x:#Systemdrive#\Install\test.xml

edit:

is this the place to change?
