Nakatomi2010 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Reboot the system when it's done installing everything... I have it install the XPize pack, but once it's install it wont look proper until it does a restart, and I'd rather it restart itself automatically...And on top of that, how would I tell it to delete a couple of directories once it's rebooted? Reason it has to be after the reboot is because the directory WPI runs out of is on the drive, and I figure it wont delete the directory it's in because it's in use, so after the reboot, while it's booting, I could have Windows delete it's directory...

Thauzar Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 you should read a bit about runonceex... and to delete files and folders, there is nothing easier than a simple batch file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakatomi2010 Posted September 29, 2005 Author Share Posted September 29, 2005 I know about RunOnceEx, I use WPI because it allows me to do some things I can't with ROE, even though it creates a script for ROE to use in the first place, and I know I can write a batch file, I just don't know how to have it called up on the next boot, and only have it called up that one boot.
