Help Needed with mine RunOnceEx.cmd

[Wip]

Well because its is my first unattended xp creation , i would like some help over here so i don't make mistakes with bad switches or commands. Well i'm a starter so i don't make use of commands throw usage of .ini files, its just simple : install software without configuration about serial keys or including packages.

I had a look for switches on the forum and used them in mine RunOnceEx.cmd, Because of the many ways and people editing setup files or ini files i'm not sure about all switches of mine. And also i don't even know when a file is a msi package or just a .exe . Well i did has much as i could and download also handy packages from Ryan

Well this is were i am :

All Software files are in different maps

And this is mine RunOnceEx.cmd :

[OrcoXP]

Well for starters...it seems good...I can't see any problems with it but you can replace this:

IF EXIST D:\CD.txt set CDROM=D:
IF EXIST E:\CD.txt set CDROM=E:
IF EXIST F:\CD.txt set CDROM=F:
IF EXIST G:\CD.txt set CDROM=G:
IF EXIST H:\CD.txt set CDROM=H:
IF EXIST I:\CD.txt set CDROM=I:
IF EXIST J:\CD.txt set CDROM=J:

with this:

FOR %%i IN (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 %%i:\CD.TXT SET CDROM=%%i:

and you can add the following line in to do one section of RunOnceEX and then start another immediately after it...(without REG ADD...)

rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess

this will allow you to separate the apps into groups...like System Tools, IM& P2P

And any time the line gets too complicated you can make a separate CMD file for it and then call on it...

I'll attach min and you can see mostly what I have done

GUIRunOnce.cmd

[Bensit]

I've been struggling with this one too:

REG ADD %KEY%\060 /VE /D "Microsoft AntiSpyware" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\060 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\msa\msas.exe /s /v/qn" /f

This way you get an error after the installation saying you have to reinstall.....

Haven't figurerd it out yet.

[Wip]

thnx OrcoXP!!! Well i will try it out soon enough and thanx for the attachement

Well Bensit í'll have a look because i don't know what to do otherwise....

[Wip]

well OrcoXP after running RunOnceEx.cmd i noticed it didn't work properly.. It worked later.. but i found out that the local paths to some batch files or wrong and also to files that are located in the Software directory.

What i get is a :

Working Windows XP SP2 but without software, because he can't find the setup or .exe files

Also i get more users then instead of 1 Maybe it is becuase of SP2 intro that ask you for updates and internet connection to download these as fast as possible..

Well here it is index of $OEM$ :

Well i used a example of prepare.cmd that looks like this ( some words are dutch because i followed also a handy dutch tutorial which can be found on www.driverpacks.net ) :

cmdow @ /HID

FOR %%i IN (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 %%i:\CD.TXT SET CDROM=%%i:


DEL "%systemroot%\*.bmp"
DEL "%systemroot%\Web\Wallpaper\*.jpg"
DEL "%systemroot%\system32\dllcache\*.scr"
DEL "%systemroot%\system32\*.scr"

DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Windows Update.lnk"
DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programmatoegang en -instellingen.lnk"
DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Windows-catalogus.lnk"

EXIT

Well thise file is located in the directory $OEM$ and the error reports that /prepare.cmd cannot be found.

And here again the working RunOnceEx.cmd with wrong local paths to .exe files :

@ OrcoXP

How about posting your .cmd and .reg files that you reference in your GUIRunOnceEx.cmd.

Thanks

[Yzöwl]

Well thise file is located in the directory $OEM$ and the error reports that /prepare.cmd cannot be found.

And this is mine RunOnceEx.cmd :

cmdow @ /HID
@echo off

IF EXIST D:\CD.txt set CDROM=D:
IF EXIST E:\CD.txt set CDROM=E:
IF EXIST F:\CD.txt set CDROM=F:
IF EXIST G:\CD.txt set CDROM=G:

IF EXIST I:\CD.txt set CDROM=I:
IF EXIST J:\CD.txt set CDROM=J:

SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Preparing Installation..." /f
REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\prepare.cmd" /f

Well if you look at the code you will see why!

The CD-ROM is being set as a drive letter, in the first lines, (example G:).

In your code you are using %CDROM%\prepare.cmd which is equivalent to, (example G:\prepare.cmd). However your prepare.cmd is located at %CDROM%\$OEM$, (example G:\$OEM$\prepare.cmd). You would either need to place prepare.cmd at the root of your CD or the line would need changing in order to reflect the true location.

P.S Removing the serial number for Nero would be a good idea.

[OrcoXP]

Yeah, Yzöwl is right...your paths are messed up.

You should leave the software installers and scripts on the CD.

I have mine in here: %CDROM%\VALUEADD\3RDPARTY\Software\

I would just take anything out of $OEM$ that doesn't need to be copied to the harddrive...

It'll just take more time to copy it...if it's even copying it with the folder structure the way you have it currently.

I added some variables to clean up the look of my GUIRunOnce.cmd.

You can do this using the SET command...I have %CDROM% for the CD and %FROM% for the full path.

NOTE: I extract my Installshield installers to be able to supply the command line switches...and this tends to make a log file in the directory of the installer...If you do this too, make sure you add the switch for creating the log file elsewhere (see "nVidia PureVideo" in my previous attachment).

Other suggestions I have for you are:

#1

Remove

Kazaa Lite Codec Pack

and the

Quicktime Installer

and replace them with

Kazaa Lite Mega Codec Pack

found

here

#2

RyanVM has a silent installer for

Adobe Acrobat Reader

located

here

...so you don't have to worry about the commandline switches.

#3

RyanVM also has a silent installer for

Java Runtime

and one for

Microsoft.NET Framework 1.1

that includes a hotfix. These are also located

here

#4

Nero 6 is a Winrar SFX...so you can add the commands directly in the SFX info rather than calling it from your script

#5

MS Office 2003 Resource Kit has a custom install wizard that will create a MST (transform file) that you can select your options, I have found that you can create an administrative installation, slipstream SPs and hotfixes, create the MST with your desired options and then put Office and Frontpage in the same folder to save a few hundred MBs

#6

The installer for Paint .Net v2.5 (which is still in beta) will be changing how things are done a little...read

this thread

in Ricks forums

#7

You have an installer for Winamp that is an EXE but uses the /QB switch? Check

this

out. (Stay tuned for v5.11)

#8

@115, use this instead: REG ADD %KEY%\115 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %CDROM%\install\regtweaks.reg" /F

#9

I would just add the items from

prepare.cmd

in your

cleanup.cmd

file...just to cut down on the things going on

#10

You see to have a lot of open quotes...you should scan through it to see which ones need to be closed

Wow, I don't usually talk this much...lol

[Wip]

Yeah! Yzöwl and OrcoXP thnx for gratefull help !

I would defintly use all your points OrcoXP and keep you in touch . last week i had vacation and i 'haven't a look for it already! So what i understand is that everything what's inside the $OEM$ directory gets installed to the hardrive..

So i could better remove the directory software to the root of the cd and then the command lines should be working ( as they are right now ) and prepare.cmd and cleanup.cmd also right ? And the packages of RyanVM doen'st needed to be closed by a command line(switch) only /F right ?? ??

I will have a look at my switches so i will post my RunOnceEx.cmd later.. And at least my last point

You see to have a lot of open quotes...you should scan through it to see which ones need to be closed

You mean the command line switches ?? Or more references to cleanup.cmd ?? Because the command /F is just for closing right ?

Sorry for being such a Big Noob but i hope to learn more and Thnx!

Hi everyone. I read the rules and it looks like its ok to bring up old topics.

Do the installs have to run silently? When i test mine, VLC player asks me for all the usual steps, will this happen during the unattended installation too? It would kind of defeat the whole idea of unattended installation lol.

Any one know where i can get info on all the different switches. I have just been copying other people and experimenting. Heres mine so far.

Your switch was some kind of mix netween Inno Setup and perhaps Wise. It is a Nullsoft installer and they use uppercase /S

This looks incorrect also. I add a /v to pass the following silent parameters to the msi.

REG ADD %KEY%\055 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\jre505.exe /s /v/qb" /F

Yeeeeeeeeeeeh. Was the dam quote.

REG ADD %KEY%\004 /VE /D "Java Runtime 5.0" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\004 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\java 5.0.exe /s /v " /qn /f

REG ADD %KEY%\004 /VE /D "Java Runtime 5.0" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\004 /V 1 /D "\"%systemdrive%\install\java 5.0.exe\" /s /v\"/qn\"" /f

Sometimes is best to wrap the /qn in quotes as above. You have a space in the filename so it will need to be quoted as well.

Now that looks like this when added to registry.

"C:\install\java 5.0.exe" /s /v"/qn"
