alternative to cmdow @ /HID

[JohnS]

I have now started playing with Autoit and making installation scripts that have visible windows during RunOnceEx.

Would the content of this thread be of any help in hiding the sucession of windows during the install of a program?

There is a topic about this problem, but with no success:

What's the way to INCLUDE nircmdc.exe into WinPE?

My problem is that cmdow.exe pr nircmd.exe CAN'T BE EXECUTED from STARTNET.CMD in a X64 WinPE Boot image !!!!

Seems that's a Group Security Policy LOCK for files differents from HKLM\COMPONENTS\CanonicalData\Components

Please HOW can I add my custom executable & run them in X64 WinPE Boot image?

How can i create & add Components for wim files?

Tnx

SOLVED!

The WinPE Enviroment is a PURE 64BIT so CMDOW, NIRCMD etc DOESN't WORK!

To solve DEFINITELY the problem use AUTOIT:

Forget STARTNET.CMD, instead create a file "Winpeshl.ini"

____________________________________________________________

[LaunchApp]

AppPath = ShellExecuteWait.exe "Setup.cmd" "" "" "open" "SW_HIDE"

____________________________________________________________

Create a file Setup.cmd

____________________________________________________________

@echo off

for %%a in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%a:\sources\setup.exe set CDROM=%%a:

call %CDROM%\sources\$OEM$\Unattended1.cmd

start /wait /realtime %CDROM%\sources\setup.exe

call %CDROM%\sources\$OEM$\Unattended2.cmd

____________________________________________________________

Unattended1.cmd & Unattended2.cmd scripts taht can be used to load/unload drivers before start Setup!

Compile the script (AutoIt) as 64 BIT

____________________________________________________________

;ShellExecuteWait ( "filename" [, "parameters" [, "workingdir" [, "verb" [, showflag]]]] )

Select

Case $CmdLine[5] = "SW_HIDE"

ShellExecuteWait($CmdLine[1],$CmdLine[2], $CmdLine[3], $CmdLine[4], @SW_HIDE)

Case $CmdLine[5] = "SW_MINIMIZE"

ShellExecuteWait($CmdLine[1],$CmdLine[2], $CmdLine[3], $CmdLine[4], @SW_MINIMIZE)

Case $CmdLine[5] = "SW_MAXIMIZE"

ShellExecuteWait($CmdLine[1],$CmdLine[2], $CmdLine[3], $CmdLine[4], @SW_MAXIMIZE)

Case $CmdLine[5] = "SW_SHOWNORMAL"

ShellExecuteWait($CmdLine[1],$CmdLine[2], $CmdLine[3], $CmdLine[4], @SW_SHOWNORMAL)

EndSelect

____________________________________________________________

put files in mounted WinPE startup image

All done .....

Will this work in the cmdlines.txt? I'm having difficulty making this work.
