Hi guys. I hope someone is able to help me with this both annoying and unfathomable problem I have. I know this topic has been posted before, but none of the offered solutions work. I am stuck completely.

My problem is, that I have the CD (Windows 2000 pro with SP4 integrated). My $oem$ directory is in the root, and I have the $$ and $1 directories as well. Inside $1 is placed directories Drivers and Install. Drivers is obvious but inside Install I have WMP, MSN Messenger etc. to install using cmdlines.txt. The cmdlines.txt is placed inside the $oem$ root side by side with directories Drivers and Install.

When installing, all drivers are installed perfectly. But the cmdlines.txt is not parsed somehow. I know that my batchfile is correct, as I can call it without any problems whatsoever from an open command prompt. Thus all commands in there must be correct. My problem is, that I cannot get cmdlines.txt to execute my batchfile. I do not understand this problem, as I have used the same method for years now. All my files (scripts) are placed on a floppy alongside WinNT.sif. At some point my floppy just killed itself, and I had no backup. Now I am trying to recreate all my scripts, but unfortunately now I just can't seem to get it right.

I would be very greatful for any help or suggestion to this problem. Thanks.

My cmdlines.txt:

[COMMANDS]

"A:\CMDLINES\CMDLINES.CMD" (I keep the file on floppy)

This is my CMDLINES.CMD file:

@CLS

from my winnt.sif:

[Unattended]
	UnattendMode = FullUnattended
	UnattendSwitch = Yes
	OemPreinstall = Yes
	OemSkipEula = Yes
	FileSystem = *
	WaitForReboot = No
	NoWaitAfterTextMode = 1
	NoWaitAfterGUIMode = 1
	TargetPath = \WINNT
	DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore
	NonDriverSigningPolicy = Ignore
	Hibernation = No

maybe the UnattendSwitch = Yes (?)

Try running your unattended applications install using:

[GuiRunOnce]

"%systemdrive%\install\batch_file1.cmd" (example)

I don't think cmdlines.txt was meant to run so many apps like that. If you want to use cmdlines.txt, try cleaning things up little and have it call a batch file that will install your apps.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the input. Unfortunately I still have the same problem. As I am using the W2000 Pro, I cannot use the switch "UnattendSwitch = Yes" as suggested. I believe this switch is for WinXP only?

When I first made my CD and the scripts, I was following the guide on MSFN.org. But since then the guide has been altered completely, and now the solution to my problem does not seem to be there.

Unfortunately I do not remember who made the guide at the time, but I guess he must have the information, which I need? So if you are reading this, please post your suggestions. Thanks.
