Knows Nothing Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Hey guysI'm very new to this unattended malarky. I slowly seem to be getting the hang of it, the guides and this forum posts have been a great help, thanks I've got about 10 programs set up that run silently, but I just thought I'd check that there's no recommended order for installing programs, what with reboots being suppressed etc.I've not come accross anyone else asking yet, and I assume there's no bother, but I thought I'd just check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rendrag Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 as a general rule of thumb, you would install system things first, then regular programs.i.e. I would install java2 runtime before I install firefox, so that the java plugin for firefox gets installed properly. Same with shockwave, and any other similar program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLF Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Seem to remember a row ages ago about installing 7zipped and shrunk Office 2003 before/after .NET Framework never got clarified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knows Nothing Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 as a general rule of thumb, you would install system things first, then regular programs.That's a fair point From that it sounds like reg tweaks should be near or first thing in the RunOnceEx but in many examples I've seen, it's the last thing before a cleanup... By the way, what's the java2 runtime? I installed Firefox tonight (got as far as Google but been too busy to play) and there was no mention of requiring it. I have XP +SP2 so I guess java2 is already installed...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rendrag Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 i was just using it as an example. I deal with a lot of software that uses the java plugin, so that's why i used it. A lot of websites also use macromedia shockwave as well, so it is also why that was mentioned.I think a lot of people put reg tweaks last (including myself) because they do not want the possibility of the value changing because of another program (for example). I suppose depending on the tweaks you were putting in place you could run them at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
