[Mikep7779]

I was reading http://gosh.msfnhosting.com/using_runonceex.htm

I did what it said Hoever it did not tell me where to put in the textsetup.sif

runonceex.inf = 1,,,,,,,20,0,0

new.inf = 1,,,,,,_x,,3,3

And when i run the setup i get that textsetup.sif

is corupt at line 1, where i put the first parimiter...

Any help?

My english isnt that good so dont be harsh

I use the RunOnceEx.cmd method of unattended install for my third party applications.

All I did to make this work was..

create a file with called cmdlines.txt which contains the following:

[COMMANDS]
"RunOnceEx.cmd"

Save this in your $OEM$ folder.

Also in the $OEM$ folder, place your RunOnceEx.cmd file.

Here's what mine looks like:

EXIT

In the I386 directory, open the file winnt.sif (assuming you have created one with windows sp2 deployment tools) and remove any [GuiRunOnce] entries you may have.

I did not edit or change any other files.

This will install the apps at before the first user logon. Some install progress is displayed for some of the apps, I prefer to see what's going on.

Hope this helps you.

Ok, the install went fine, but it didnt copy the files to my hard drive.....

EXIT

thats what my RunOnceEx.cmd says, i have all the files in

\$OEM$\$1\Install

Ideas?

[Mikep7779]

btw, does the

REG ADD %KEY%\000 /V 2 /D "REGEDIT /S PP%\Install\Alcohol\alcohol.reg" /f

Disable the virtual drive, if so can you post it?

[hohner]

The Alcohol reg file does not disable the virtual drive, it will configure it on first start up. If you don't want the virtual drive I suggest changing the options in Alcohol after it is installed.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Alcohol Soft\Alcohol 120%\Info]
"UserName"="your username"
"Company"="your company"
"SerialNo"="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Alcohol Soft\Alcohol 120%\Info]
"UserName"="your username"
"Company"="your company"
"SerialNo"="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

Note: the serial number should be enclosed in quotes just like your username, I'm not sure what happened but I didn't type the & #34; so just ignore them and put a " there.

[Mikep7779]

any awnswer to my other question?

[hohner]

No sorry, I'm not sure why it didn't install your apps. Double check your install paths maybe. Did you reverse the changes you made to the textsetup.sif?

Anyone else have any ideas?

[wullieb1]

Nero won't instal because you have 45 instead of 25.

Can't see anything else wrong though.

All your apps are in the correct path on the cd??

[Alanoll]

OEMPreInstall=YES in WINNT.SIF maybe?

[Stinger12348]

I took this straight from Gosh's page

First, create a file called runonceex.inf and put your runonceex settings in it.  Then put it into your i386 folder.  Edit txtsetup.sif and put this:

runonceex.inf = 1,,,,,,,20,0,0

That way runonceex.inf will be copied to the %windir%\inf folder.  Also add what's in bold below to txtsetup.sif:

[HiveInfs.Fresh]AddReg = hivedef.inf,AddReg

AddReg = hivesys.inf,AddReg

AddReg = hivesft.inf,AddReg

AddReg = hivecls.inf,AddReg

AddReg = hiveusd.inf,AddReg

AddReg = hivesxs.inf,AddReg

AddReg = dmreg.inf,DM.AddReg

AddReg = new.inf,newhive

Create new.inf and put it in your i386 folder.  In txtsetup.sif add this line:

new.inf = 1,,,,,,_x,,3,3

Also in dosnet.inf add these lines:

d1,runonceex.inf

d1,new.inf
