I have everything setup, and now I am trying to get Winrar (just 1 program to start) to automatically install after reboot. Its gets written to the Registry but does not auto install, but does get copied to a folder on C:\ Install\Winrar

Where must you copy the actual program (WinRar) in your file structure to get it to auto install after reboot? I have read and read but am a little slow I guess :)

Also if using RunOnceEx method, must I put something in my Wnnt.sif file, and if so what eactly to get WinRar to auto install?

$OEM$ (RunOnceEx.cmd and cmdlines.txt are inside this folder)

==>$1\Install\Winrar\Rar.exe

first at all , your UA_CD

copy your $OEM$ directory (which include your app's) on the system directory

so , your files must be addressed with corect pathes

like I do :

[GUIRunOnce]
    %systemdrive%\install\hotfixes\hotfixes.cmd
    %systemdrive%\install\main_batch.cmd
    %systemdrive%\install\applications.cmd

without " "

I make also this mistake .

also where is run <<cmdlines.txt>> ?

If you have a reg key. Following way is much easier. It was posed by a good guy but I do not remember his name,sorry. Of course, you need to use RunOnceEx.cmd if you want to run the exe after rebooting. In my case, I use WPI.

1. I assume you have WinRAR installed on your system. Download the original installer of WinRAR here.

2. Using WinRAR, extract the files of the SFX to an empty folder.

3. Copy your rarreg.key to that folder.

4. Select all files in that folder and select "Add to archive..".

5. In the "General" tab, select Best Compression, Create SFX, Create Solid Archive, Put Authenticity Verification, Put Recovery Record, and Lock Archive.

6. Click the comment tab, and paste this comment.

the program can't seem to find the file and says incorrect path or something to that effect.

1)Where must you copy the actual program (WinRar) in your file structure to get it to auto install after reboot? I have read and read but am a little slow I guess :)

2)Also if using RunOnceEx method, must I put something in my Wnnt.sif file, and if so what eactly to get WinRar to auto install?

I have my $OEM$ folder, which has my $1 folder , which has my Install folder,which has my Winrar folder, and that is where I put the actual complete Winrar program, is this correct?

$OEM$ (RunOnceEx.cmd and cmdlines.txt are inside this folder)

==>$1\Install\Winrar\Rar.exe

This is the the error message I get after the computer reboots. I also changed /s to /S, but still didn't work.

C:\install\RunOnceEx.cmd

Windows cannot find "C:\install\RunOnceEx.cmd" Make sure you typed the name correctly, then try agian. To search for a file, click Start button, then click Search

I see "Install" in one place, and "install" in another...it's the small stuff that'll give you a headache. Got to double check the spelling, caps, etc. in your R.O.E.--it's super easy to overlook a minor detail.

I understand your points. See below site, then you will find answers for (1) and (2).

http://unattended.msfn.org/intermediate/apps/intro.htm

http://unattended.msfn.org/global/examples.htm

Why do not you use SFX.exe? It does not need any switches. Try it.

Make a WinRAR350B3.exe SFX file as I mentioned in my previous post.

In the following command, WinRAR350B3.exe is a SFX file.

RunOnceEx.cmd

ECHO.
ECHO Installing WinRAR 3.50B3
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\PowerToys\WinRAR350B3.exe
