Sorry if i bothering you with my stupid question!

The RunOnceEx file contain 2 command lines launching prepeare.cmd and cleanup.cmd files as shonwn in the example here bellow

cmdow @ /HID
@echo off

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

REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Preparing Installation..." /f
REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\prepare.cmd" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Adobe Reader 6" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\AdobeReader6\AR6.msi /qn" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\055 /VE /D "Cleaning Up and Rebooting" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\055 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\cleanup.cmd" /f

EXIT

How far I know/learn,

prepare.cmd file is used for things i want the runonceex.cmd to do before it got rolling and

cleanup.cmd for what i want it to do at the end (like deleting stuff, etc).

I could find example of files in the Unattended Guide except for prepare.cmd.

1) My RunOnceEX contain the batch for Office2003, MUI 2003, Diskeeper, Acrobat PowerDVD6, NAV Corp9...

How do i intend that ineed a prepare.cmd???

Does someone else can give me a link for a prepare.cmd example???

2) On the cleanup.cmd file exapmle, there are few "del" command regarding Adobe 6, are there any for Acrobat 7(not reader)???

How do i know that this apps need a "RD" and/or "del" command???

TNX for yr help

I couldn't really understand all what you were actually asking..

So if I understood you correctly... You only need "a prepare.cmd" if there is something you want to run before the programs install in RunOnceEx.. So it's up to you. If you cant think of anything you need to add in it you wont probably need it. (OR if you want to write the install commands into the prepare.cmd and make RunOnceEx run it... well, then that's your choice but it defeats most of the point of using RunOnceEx at all)

The DEL command is used to delete a file or a group of files (wildcard, for example *.jpg)

The RD command (Remove Directory) is as the name says used to delete directories.

So if you want to delete a file or files use DEL.. if you want to remove the entire directory (and all the files in it) use RD.

2) On the cleanup.cmd file exapmle, there are few "del" command regarding Adobe 6, are there any for Acrobat 7(not reader)???

Do you mean things like deleting shortcuts? Just find the location and name of the shortcut and write the command yourself... DEL /Q "%systemdrive%\shortcut_location\shortcut.LNK"

TNX for yr help and excuse my poor english. I try to make myself more clear.

prepare.cmd

As I'm not a computer expert, i would like to know what kind of "prepare" i do need, because every one here in our forum have that file.

In fact, all RunOnceEx.cmd examples are starting with a line like REG ADD %KEY... ...\prepare .cmd" /f and i didn't saw any prepare.cmd exapmle, I tought there is a "standard" prepare.cmd file.

May someone let me look his own prepare.cmd???

cleanup.cmd

How do i know that special apps need a "rd" or "del" link???

I notice that some apps like Acrobat 7, Roxio easy Media creator 7... are running a remove backup routine at the end of them standard installation. Do they need therefore a rd/del command line in the cleanup.cmd file??? If so, how could i know what link and where is it???

Regards

1:\ A prepare cmd is a option I dont use one

2:\ The RunOnceEx.cmd Is What You Use To Install Stuff

3:\ The Clean Up Cmd Is To Remove The Install And Drivers

Folders

Example Of A RunOnceEx.cmd

REG ADD %KEY%\065 /VE /D "Ua065 %A1% Wrar341" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\065 /V 1 /D "%CD1%Ua065\Wrar341-SFX.exe" /f

Here A Clean Up Cmd That Will Remove The Install And Driver Folders Remove These Shortcuts.

CMD

echo off

cls

echo.

ping -n 3 127.0.0.1>Nul | Echo Running CleanUp Script!!.......

Oh OK!!!

To summarize, i may remove my cleanup.cmd file in my x:\XPCD\Software and replace it by CLEANR1.exe this thread attached???

and here will be the command line in RunOnceEx???

REG ADD %KEY%\100 /VE /D "Cleaning Up and Rebooting" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\100 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\CLEANR1.exe" /f

If so, what about this command line for PowerDVD6 in my actual clenup.cmd 

del "%systemdrive%\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD\OLRSubmission\OLRSubmission.exe"
del "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\CyberLink PowerDVD\On-Line Registration.lnk"
