Help with installation

**wnr** · October 19, 2004

Ok i have made my unattended cd, Windows XP PRO with SP2 slipstreamed, but when i test it, it doesnt skip the part where you enter your serial, which im not really bothered about, but the main thing is when it starts up i want it to install the programs i have put into it.

I want this to show up, but it doesnt. my programs dont get installed but only get put into c:\install\.

Can anyone help me?

Here are my winnt.sif and runonceex.cmd files

are you calling runonceex from cmdlines?

**wnr** · October 19, 2004

yeah i have a cmdlines.txt next the the batch file with

[COMMANDS]
"RunOnceEx.cmd"

Also i have this cmdlines and runonceex.cmd in the $oem$ folder, does it have to be somewhere specific?

**rx7tt** · October 19, 2004

Under the unattended section of your winnt file you have OemPreinstall listed twice once with no and the second with yes. This needs to be set to yes and only once.

[Unattended]
    UnattendMode=FullUnattended
    OemSkipEula=Yes
    OemPreinstall=No
    TargetPath=\WINDOWS
    OemPreinstall=Yes
    UnattendSwitch="yes"

Yes and you have them where they should be.

Also i have this cmdlines and runonceex.cmd in the $oem$ folder, does it have to be somewhere specific?

Hope this helps...

**wnr** · October 19, 2004

thanks im going to try it now.

So will it now install the programs now?

**rx7tt** · October 19, 2004

That was the problem when I first started setting up my UI and it fixed the problem however I am using a batch file(start.cmd) for my program instalations.

I'll cross my fingures...

**lodar123** · October 19, 2004

The reason why you stop at the serial is because you use

ProductKey=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

Try using

ProductID=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

This should fix your serial problem

Hope this help!

**lodar123** · October 19, 2004

Also... you should remove this from your winnt.sif since you are calling it from cmdlines.txt

[GuiRunOnce]
   %systemdrive%\RunOnceEX.cmd

**wnr** · October 19, 2004

Thanks im trying this the now, hopefully there wont be any problems

**rx7tt** · October 19, 2004

According to Microsoft ProductKey is the new prefered method for this not ProductID. I have no problems with it using ProductKey.

Try leaving it as ProductKey but wrapping it with "quotes"

Eg ProductKey="XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX"

The reason why you stop at the serial is because you use
ProductKey=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
Try using
ProductID=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
This should fix your serial problem

**wnr** · October 19, 2004

Ok well im just up to the point before it normally asks for the key so i will see if it does it, then i will try that way ^

Thanks

**wnr** · October 19, 2004

Well it works perfectly now, thanks

But theres one other thing, when it was installing the programs there installers came up and i had to actually install them myself, rather than it doing it automatically,(or is that silently) How would i go about doing this?

**lodar123** · October 20, 2004

If you had to do it manually, probably you dont have the right switches for those apps

**wnr** · October 20, 2004

hmm can you direct me to where i can find them?

Also when it came to install office, it came up with an error, i cant remeber what it said but i think its got to do with the

REG ADD %KEY%\070 /VE /D "Installing Microsoft Office XP" 
REG ADD %KEY%\070 /V 1 /D "$systemdrive%\install\Applications\OfficeXP\PRO11.msi TRANSFORMS=%systemdrive%\install\Applications\OfficeXP\Unattended.MST /qb-" /f

**rx7tt** · October 20, 2004

You only have command line switches for WMP and Office.

Check out the applications section of of unattended.msfn.org for some of the more popular ones.

Also you can check the Application Switches Thread. This topic has alot of good ones Application Switches.

Please feel free to reply or pm if there anr any you can't find or don't work correctly.

Thanks
