Hi all,

I am hoping someone could help me. I am attempting to make a win2k unattended cd with applications and I cant seem to get it to work. I followed through the tutorial and I can get my winnt.sif file to work. Although I have a few minor problems. (areacode=602) doesnt work.

My structure looks like this

     cmdlines.txt
     runonceex.cmd
     various reg files
     cleanup.cmd
     |$$
        |System32
          |cmdow.exe
     |$1
        |Install
          |Applications
             |Various application files as above

If anyone can see what in the world I am doing wrong please let me know. Windows will install but I do not get any of the applications loaded or registry fixes.

Take care

Oh, I should also state that I dont get any errors, and with the cleanup.cmd removed, I don't even get the files copied to the disk.

not entirely sure of your REGEDIT problem off the top of my head...

However, Windows 2000 does NOT have teh REG.EXE command bundled with it. You'll have to download it yourself and either ahve it copy over before calling it, or use paths to the REG command itself.

How is this a regedit problem?

What Alanoll is saying is that your runonceex.cmd is using an executable, which doesn't exist as part of your OS.

• REG ADD
  this is reg.exe add
  or if not in %path%,
  drive:\path to\reg.exe add
  

You will therefore need to add the REG.EXE to your CD, then either copy it to an appropriate location in %PATH%, (from your $OEM$), or reference its location on the CD as part of the commands in your runonceex.cmd file

I can't get RunOnceEx to work in Windows 2000 either. Exact same RunOnceEx and $OEM$ Folder Tree works in XP but under 2K nothing happens at all. No error messages, just nothing. It gets completely ignored. "Install" and "Drivers" folders get copied to the hard drive but software doesn't install.

Unlike XP, W2K needs to have the full path for your commands. So a simple regedit.exe /s blah.reg won't work. Instead, you need a %windir%\regedit.exe /s blah.reg.
