Hi Jaf,

I think that is what is supposed to happen, it installs only after another restart.

your best bet is to take the GuiRunOnce line out of your winnt.sif and add it to your cmdlines.txt in the $OEM$ folder. best is to put the Netpc.cmd in the $OEM$ folder too. call it up like this

cmdlines.txt

[COMMANDS]
"users.cmd"
"Netpc.cmd"

@BritishBulldog

thanks let's say that works, then I will have another problem

I slipstreamed 1 xppro and I have 3 pc's that I like to install with it

and those pc's need different addons (like utils)

all I did now was call on a different GuiUnattended .cmd file.

and thought that should do the trick or is there another way to do that?

check out this thread, it might not be what you want but it will stop before installing software/apps and ask you what you want to install. you just tick off what you want and then press install and away it goes.

@BritishBulldog

you are right about the cmdlines.txt and about that other workaround it does work to.

But it will not leave it unattended so I guess I have to try to make my own work around with some scripting.

Anyway it did gave me some ideas for creating something myself.

thanks again for your sharing.
