I have this in my Winnt.sif. I don't understand why Start.cmd is not run after the setup and only after another restart. What am i missing?

[GUIRunOnce]
	command7= "%SystemDrive%\DP\S\Sound_Control_Panels_1.cmd"
	command8= "%SystemDrive%\DP\S\Sound_Control_Panels_2.cmd"
	command9= "cmd.exe /c RD /S /Q %SystemDrive%\DP"
	%systemdrive%\start.cmd

what is the sign for % in a CMD file? Because % is used as a operator in CMD file and i am trying to remove the link for Alcohol 120%

DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop\Alcohol 120%.lnk"

Another problem is with program files. %Programfiles% works but when i stick them all in it will generate a Error message stating C:\Program not found. I found out if i use [ "%Programfiles%command" -switch ] then it will work in CMD. So i am wondering what i need to do in Runonce.

REG ADD %KEY%\025 /VE /D "Clean Up" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\025 /V 1 /D "%PP%%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe -silent -nosplash -setDefaultMail" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\025 /V 2 /D "%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe -silent -nosplash -setDefaultBrowser" /f

Since it parses the first % just use "Alcohol 120%%"

or you could just do

DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop\Alcohol*.lnk"

that'll delete every shortcut on the desktop that starts with alcohol.

Thanks. What about the first question? any ideas?

Edit: And i edited a 2nd question as well.

Added 3rd question

start.cmd importing RunOnceEX entries?

As for the %ProgramFiles% problem, you'll need to enclose the path in quotes, but in RunOnceEX you'll need to escape the quotes ( \" )

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yes. Start.cmd has all my RunonceEX entries. ( Sorry my first time using RunonceEX method , Anything wrong? )

2. So it would be like?

"\"%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe\" -silent -nosplash -setDefaultMail"

1. Yes, you're doing it wrong. Simlest fix is to add:

rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess

at the end of the START.CMD file just before the EXIT.

2. Correct
