Newby needs Help installing applications, etc.

[Steverino]

I am having problems creating an unattended XP CD that will add a user account and install Norton Antivirus 2003, Acrobat Reader 6, SunJava, and some registry tweaks. My CD installs XP SP2 just fine, but the new installation stops at the Administrator login prompt where it needs the password to continue. There is no additional user account. I carefully followed the instructions here: http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/autologon.htm. The third party applications do not get installed. I'm trying to use RunOnce and I followed the instructions at http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/runonceex.htm. I could not find the right RunOnce syntax for Norton Antivirus, so I tried to install it with a batch file called from the cmdlines.txt. I know I must be missing something simple, but I can't see what it is. I've posted my files below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve Smith

That's a completely switchless installer for JRE 5 I made. Just run the exe and it'll install it for you.

EDIT: Just so you know, it doesn't install the AutoUpdate component, so you won't need that registry tweak anymore, either.

While we're at it, here's a switchless installer for Acrobat Reader 6.0.2

Also, why are you doing a RunOnceEx to add a registry entry which imports registry entries?

Why not just import them directly?
