Why don't you attempt, then we correct?

Hello

I've tried this :

@echo off

SET KEY= HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installation des Logiciels" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "CdEx" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\CDex\cdex_151.exe /S" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "Adobe Reader 6" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\AdobeReader\AdbeRdr60_fra_full.exe -p"-s /v\"/qn\"" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "MSN Messenger" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Msn\MsnMsgs.msi /qn" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "Pack Microsoft Office 2003" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS="unattended.mst" /qb- /f

REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "Norton Internet Security 2004" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\NAV2004\NAV\NAV.msi /QB" /f

exit

I'm a little lost with the "" and \", that's why I asked your help...but in fact i should had post my RunOnceExe file

Can you also explain me what does the \015\ mean ?

Thanks

Greg

\015 simply puts an order to the process. Lower numbers are executed prior to larger ones.

REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "Adobe Reader 6" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\AdobeReader\AdbeRdr60_fra_full.exe -p"-s /v\"/qn\"" /f

should be

REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "Adobe Reader 6" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\AdobeReader\AdbeRdr60_fra_full.exe -p\"-s /v\"/qn\"\"" /f

and

REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "Pack Microsoft Office 2003" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS="unattended.mst" /qb- /f

should be

REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "Pack Microsoft Office 2003" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=\"unattended.mst\" /qb- /f

The question on the quotes really isn't.... with "" but just with embedded quotes in general.....like your offcie line...

the outer quotes (the ones just after the /D and the ending ones just before the /f) don't get \ before them. ALL INNER QUOTES do. If you don't entire the \ with the inside quotes, then when importing the line is taken as two strings and imported wrong. the \ escapes the quotes and causes the line to be ONE string with the quotes inside.

REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "Pack Microsoft Office 2003" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=\"unattended.mst\" /qb- /f

should be

REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "Pack Microsoft Office 2003" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=\"unattended.mst\" /qb-" /f

notice the " after qb- to end the command.

it is easy to convert your commands, just take your time. once you start you can't finish

mind you the quotes around the mst you can leave out.

REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "Pack Microsoft Office 2003" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=unattended.mst /qb-" /f

Easier to look at and not tending to make mistakes.

Hello,

Thanks an all of you !!!

Is it possible to set a percentage of the installtion or a timer, in order to know how long it will take ?

example :

MSN messenger

|--- 55% completed

Thanks

Greg

Well, with RunOnceEX method you have a vertical list on-screen, showing the total and how many is finished - so you don't really need a percentage display. But if you do want it, check out the XPlode tool.

You also got two ... %KEY%\020 , change the first one to anything between 16 and 19
