Autorun on insert...

[FromZto850]

Hello,

I have successfully created my OfficeXP SP3, unnattended CD. I have to click my batch file inorder to get it to install unattended.

How do I get it to automaticlly begin to install when inserted in the cd drive? or bring up a dialog box asking to install upon insering in the drive.

for what its worth my batch file is below:

ECHO.

ECHO Installing Office XP Professional with Frontpage

ECHO Please wait...

start /wait C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\install\Applications\OfficeXP\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-

Thanks in advance.

If this is an unattended office cd, then you could alter the autorun.inf file.

e.g.

[autorun]
OPEN=setuppls.exe /AUTORUN
ICON=setuppls.exe,1

shell\configure=&Configure...
shell\configure\command=setuppls.exe

shell\install=&Install...
shell\install\command=setuppls.exe

shell\unattended=&Unattended...
shell\unattended\command=setuppls.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-

This would alter it on my cd to right click on drive, and select Unattended in context menu.

You could also replace /AUTORUN with TRANSFORM=...... so it runs on cd insertion.Would not recommend.

Some changes may be needed to suit yours.

Your suggestion worked beautifully. I see now why it’s a better idea to right click & select unattended opposed to just running unattended on insert, its all about choices & options.

Thanks a lot

I deeply appreciate your reply.
