Nutso Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Been working on this for two weeks now and AndyP helped me out a lot (thanks andy) and we cant still get it to work. I used the batch code to install IE6_SP1 during the setup mode. when it boots up it gives out a msg that it's updating the browser then goes to normal mode. The runonceex.cmd should run after that but it doesnt. I tried to manually click it and all i got was blank screen with code line for cmdow @ hid thats it. when i edited out the cmdow, i got error saying too many inline parameters. however the funny thing is that this was all done in vmware. When i tried the same file in my host computer, it ran perfectly. so why it didnt work in vmware? and yes the reg file, cmdow file is in the system32 file. This is my runonceex.cmdcmdow @ /HID@Echo Offrem PP=SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceExREG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /fREG ADD %KEY%\000 /VE /D "Preparing Installation..." /fREG ADD %KEY%\000 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\prepare.cmd" /fREG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Microsoft DirectX 9c" /fREG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\2K\DirectX9C\dxsetup.exe /silent" /fREG ADD %KEY%\004 /VE /D "Sun Java VM" /fREG ADD %KEY%\004 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\2K\JavaVM\j2re.EXE /s /v"/qn ADDLOCAL=jrecore IEXPLORER=1"" /fREG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Microsoft .NET Framework v1.1 SP1" /fREG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\2K\NetFramework\netfxsp1.exe" /fREG ADD %KEY%\016 /VE /D "Windows Media Player 9" /fREG ADD %KEY%\016 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Apps\WMP9\MPSetup.exe /Q:A /R:N" /fREG ADD %KEY%\900 /VE /D "Installing Post SP4 Hotfixes" /fREG ADD %KEY%\900 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\UpdateXP.exe" /fREG ADD %KEY%\990 /VE /D "Cleaning Up and Rebooting" /fREG ADD %KEY%\990 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\cleanup.cmd" /fEXITthanks for any inputs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tguy Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Try installing IE 6 SP1 using the cmdlines.txt file as the launch method. Worked for me on both VMware and physical servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutso Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 I did use cmdlines.txt thats what i put in the cmdlines.txt[COMMANDS]"Install_IE6.cmd""RunOnceEx.cmd"my only problem is the runonceex.cmd, it won't run. Let me know if you want me to add snapshots of my unattended cd (oem, install, so on)Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC00BS Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 runonce wont run because the ie install reboots the pc after the install so the runonce batch file doesnt run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC00BS Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 You can place the runoneex.cmd in the guirunonce part and add the linerundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcessat he end of your batch file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewpayne Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Hi Nutso What happens if you remove the Sun Java in RunOnceEx.cmd - those quotes don't look right to me. With RunOnceEx I have learned that if the parameters are slightly complex - make a folder under INSTALL and create a CMD batch file as batch files are much more forgiving!

Nutso Posted November 17, 2004 Author Share Posted November 17, 2004 Thanks for the post guys, i checked out the links that Famer sent me, those cmdlines.txt are the SAME as mine. Why is it that the runonceex.cmd says "to many command-line parameters" IN vmware while runonceex.cmd worked just fine on a regular computer like on this computer that im typing to you right now. I'm clicking it and it says operation completed successfully.Andy, u mean to move the runonceex.cmd to a new folder in install folder and make the cmdlines.txt find it in there? eg. %systemdrive%\install\runonceex\runonceex.cmd ?Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewpayne Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Hi Nutso - No, I meant to say to create a cmd in the same folder as the sun install file which has the full path to execute and just point to the cmd in RunOnceExieSUNJAVA.CMD (placed in your INSTALL\2K\JAVAVM Folder)cmdow @ /HIDC:\install\2K\JavaVM\j2re.EXE /s /v /qn ADDLOCAL=jrecore IEXPLORER=1EXITand in your RunOnceEx, change to:REG ADD %KEY%\004 /VE /D "Sun Java VM" /fREG ADD %KEY%\004 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\2K\JavaVM\SUNJAVA.CMD" /fmuch tidier for RunOnceEx - and saves those confusing double quotes which can lead to errors. BTW - If there is an error in RunOnceEx.cmd - it is ignored and the command is not executed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewpayne Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 another thing to check:The registry.reg (used by UpdateXP for the PostSP4 hotfixes) has to be a valid file - here's mine:REGISTRY.REGWindows Registry Editor Version 5.00;empty!and UpdateXP.ini should be:[Main];*****Run cleanup.cmd after reboot 1=yes 0=no (zero)*******Cleanup=0;*****Reboot the computer after installing hotfixes 1=yes 0=no (zero)*******Reboot=0;*****This must be a number between 10 and 90******RebootDelay=90as this function is carried out by your CLEANUP.CMD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
