I think this should work.

You should not need anything between start and /wait.

Call regedit without start /wait.

You should not need .\ when working to relative address. Though some programs insist on it. cmd.exe shouldn't.

tottaly screwed me silent installs up, gonna av to work out why both VMWARE and virtual pc keep bluescreening me

[BritishBulldog]

i had that too with the blue screens, the only way i got rid of it was to recopy the Windows XP CD again.

Make sure you save your winnt.sif and other files you have set up. Copy the CD to a new directory and then add a new $OEM$ etc (ie new directories)

You seem to have quotation marks everywhere for no reason, and unbalanced...

Try something like this, bear in mind, I have never seen installs for IE6 etc. so I'm assuming this is for Win2000. The rule of thumb should be to use the quotation marks to keep sections with spaces in together, seeing as most of yours do not have spaces in them, you don't need em. I've left some in simply because I don't know the commands, but at least they appear to balance up.

So it was just the unbalanced quotation marks then..

Out of curiosity, why the DX9 and IE6, have you not slipstreamed either of the service packs?

He could be using Win2K...

And to the thread starter, use descriptive thread titles. You're much more likely to get help when people browsing the forum have a clue as to what your thread is about. In fact, there's even a rule about that. I'd say you should spend some time reading and familiarizing yourself with them so you don't make the same mistake in the future.

12. Very often we see meaningless subjects in topic title. They give no clue of what the posts are all about. For example:

- Oh no!

- Help

- I'm mad

- Please help

- Question

- I need your help

- Hmmmm ....

This should be avoided. Users should enter something more specific in topic title so that it is easier for others to help.

A few good examples:

- Strange problem with DirectX9b redist

- RunOnceEx install problem (double installation)

- Change Internet Explorer's Icon back to default
