cmdlines.txt did not execute during setup?

Ok, I got my cd working except it does not install my users nor my reg tweaks using the cmdlines.txt

cmdlines.txt:

[COMMANDS]
"useraccounts.cmd"
"REGEDIT /S regtweaks.reg"

useraccounts.cmd:

net user <user> <password> /add
net localgroup Administrators <user> /add
net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited
REGEDIT /S autologon.reg
EXIT

autologon.reg:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DefaultUserName"="<user>"
"DefaultPassword"="<password>"
"AutoAdminLogon"="1"

Obviously I wont poast the reg tweaks as its long, although I have edited it to my needs, like is recomended.

So have I missed something? I didnt see no commands being executed during intstall and no of the users or tweaks were applied.

Help much appreciated

first try with one command.imean

[COMMANDS]

"REGEDIT /S regtweaks.reg"

(working for me)

if it works.then the problem may be in user accounts stff.

[Mekrel]

Thanks or the help but what do you mean by:

accounts stff

Is this a file? Where is it located?

[MHz]

Do you have $OEM$ folder and I386 folder in the root of your cd?

[tguy]

From the looks of your registry file, it appears you may have a blank line at the top of the file. Try removing that so Windows Registry Editor 5.00 is on the top line.

[Mekrel]

$OEM$ and I386 are both in the root like they should be, like I said, my drivers and everything install , just not my reg tweaks

@tguy, I think the blank line is just from me posting the code here, I am at college atm so cant check - but I appreciate your help and will also double check that this line does not infact exist at the top of the document.

I was thinking it was maybe a line missing from my WINNT.SIF?

I know cmdlines.txt does not need mentioning in the winnt.sif but

maybe it is because I do not have unattendswitch=yes? or some other command in the winnt.sif?

Thanks again

useraccounts.cmd:

net user <user> <password> /add
net localgroup Administrators <user> /add
net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited
REGEDIT /S autologon.reg
EXIT

autologon.reg:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DefaultUserName"="<user>"
"DefaultPassword"="<password>"
"AutoAdminLogon"="1"

these things.what i want to say is first test ur setup in simple manner imean cmdlines.txt and a regtweak file.if it works then ur remaining settings r ok.then add other user accouts etc.if setup fail in first step only then check ur oem,winnt.... stuff

[Mekrel]

Dont ask me why but I got a feeling that adding:

Unattendedswitch=Yes

to the winnt.sif would work, I booted the cd using Virtual Pc first and it seems that it worked, but cant test for real - as forceware 70.02 gets stuck into a loop

So thanks for everyones help

Is the regtweaks.reg file in the same directory as regedit.exe or in a directory typically specified the PATH statement of a Windows installation? If not, specify the direct path to the regtweaks.reg file in your cmdlines.txt file.

Keep it in quotes to allow for spaces in the path statement to the file.

[Tsunami]

The regtweaks.reg file is in the same directory as the batch file, and the path to regedit.exe is specified in the path statement, so that can't be the problem.
