Ive just finished breaking my runonce ex batch into 15 prog segments,but have noticed in VPC it seems to execute the progs @T12 & not the not the next reboot??

Is this a prob in VPC or normal just the rest of the install appears to hang while these progs install??

My first part of runonecex is here:

rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess

Anyone experienced this?

y dont u just use wpi?

download the attachment for u.

wpi.rar

rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess

Kick starts the process.

You could

A. Have a master RunOnceEX that then calls each segment of RunOnceEX in turn

B. Put them all in GUIRunOnce and have the same effect as just One after the other but no master file.

@Astalavista

WPI is not the end all answer...

I am only asking a question.

y dont u just use wpi?

download the attachment for u.

Thanks Guys for quick answers

Alanoll with B is it just a matter of calling RunoncEX1, then RunoncEX2 , etc from guirunonce??

your best bet would be to have multiple files RunOnceEx.cmd, RunOnceEx2.cmd, RunOnceEx3.cmd

the fist would be as above but the last line out

RunOnceEx.cmd

REG ADD %KEY%\099 /VE /D "RunOnceEx two" /f

but with the last lines in

all other RunOnceEx files will look like this

RunOnceEx2.cmd,RunOnceEx3.cmd etc...

rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess

only changing the call up for the next RunOnceEx. The rundll line will then automatically start the process.

So you only need to start the first RunOnceEx from guirunonce!!!

this will call up RunOnceEx2.cmd.

RunOnceEx2.cmd will call up RunOnceEx3.cmd and so on

@Bulldog

Right, but wouldnt this method leave you with 3 seperate RunOnce boxes on the screen at the same time?

If you have RunOnceEX copied to the hdd, and you have that rundll32 command at the bottom of each one, yes B)

Thanks Guys I will get moving on it.
