July 2, 200521 yr maybe u need to tell windows to start runonceex.cmd through cmdlines.txt? edit: here ya go http://unattended.msfn.org/intermediate/me...s/runonceex.htm try the very first step it's "called getting started" Edited July 2, 200521 yr by eben
July 2, 200521 yr Author Thanks for the help, sorry I missed that bit, will try it now.ps. sarcasm is the lowest form of wit
July 2, 200521 yr ... but the highest form of intelligence.could be the part of the quote you left out, no?
July 2, 200521 yr Author Right, I have added the cmdlines.txt as mentioned and after xp installed I did see the .cmd flash on the screen but nothing installed.Please could you have a look at what I have previously done and see if there is a mistake for it not to install the files.thanks
July 2, 200521 yr no need to reburn reformatu can test it by simply copying the apps & install folders to your up-and-running system... and starting the runonceex.cmd (or rename cmdlines.txt to *.cmd) by simply clicking on it.also if you start it through cmd (run in start menu) it won't flash you but tell you what went wrong let us know the errors that show and solving it will be easyBTW: u can install ur apps and stuff from the cd, no need to let 'm all copy to your harddisk. u'll have to add a few command to you runonceex and that's it... u can find the info for this somewhere on this forum.

July 2, 200521 yr First, Coleburg, you cmdlines.txt and your RunOnceEx.cmd should be in the $oem$ folder, NOT in the install folder.Second, if you haven't downloaded cmdow.exe and placed it in your $$\System32 folder then it won't be there to hide the window. This is mainly cosmetic so you don't have to have it, but if you don't then remove the line "cmdow @ /HID" (or put a REM in from of it) from the RunOnceEx.cmd file.Third, remove the [GuiRunOnce] lind from your winnt.sif file as you don't need it.Fourth, in the example you gave with Kaspersky you forgot it put closing " quotes after it.Fifth, you seem to have two locations (install and apps) with the software you want to install. Consolidate that into one folder and use that folder only.Sixth, check your RunOnceEx.cmd all they way through for integrity and then execute it. go to the registry and see if everything got put in to the key correctly and and then you can delte all the entries.Lastly, you need to do some debugging. When you post here you should be using the [ code] tags. Please do so. It will be easier for us to separate out. Thanks. )
