Dark Sim 905 Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Hello All. (nice forum! B) )I've made an unattended XP DVD and tested installing it with Virtual PC.The files were copied correctly (I have to check when I get home if EVERYTHING I wanted was copied correctly...)But my problem was that the only application that installed silently was Office 2003. Every other application gave me an error that the path doesn't exist. "systemroot/path/to/app.exe" does not exist. I have the "%systemdrive%" variables in place, and I cannot find anything that is wrong.Since I know someone will ask for some of the files required for the unattended install; I'll put them up when I get home. (I'm at school now.)I think I may be overlooking something, but I'll find out when I get home.Thanks for the help.msfn.org rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pthomas Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Yeah, post up your RunOnce.cmd, winnt.sif (take out any private info!), cmdlines.txt files. Double check all paths by copy/pasting them from the address bar. I noticed you said systemroot/path/to/app.exe I've never used the system root varable, I always use the "systemdrive% variable myself.I love these forums...Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Sim 905 Posted September 13, 2004 Author Share Posted September 13, 2004 Sorry it took me so long to finally post this. Was busy with other things.I actually found my mistake, and I think I can point it out.In Start.CMD I had this:ECHO.ECHO Installing Office XP Pro with FrontPageECHO Please Wait...start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\OfficeXP\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-ECHO.ECHO Installing AIMECHO Please Wait...start /wait %systemdrive\Install\Applications\AIM\Install_AIM.exe /SI should fix %systemdrive\ to be "%systemdrive%".I feel so stupid for making that mistake. Sorry for wasting everyone's time.So much for typing in everything manually...Sorry... I'll post here again if have questions or problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Sim 905 Posted September 13, 2004 Author Share Posted September 13, 2004 I was curious about two plugins for Paint Shop; Alienskin and Eye Candy. Do they have silent installs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
