cluberti Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Have [DetachedProgram] launch something like solitare.exe - note that the game will have to be very basic and completely standalone, with no registry or video acceleration needed.

cluberti Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 The DetachedProgram variable is called under the [GuiUnattended] section, and is of the formDetachedProgram = <path to application>There's not much more to it, really. Just make sure it's a standalone application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siginet Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Press Shift+F10 and you will get a cmd prompt. Now you can run all kinds of tools. Like sol.exe (Solitare).But sol.exe is not extracted to the hd for a while. But you can manually extract it off the cd and play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I need to fix some info before the first boot I'll open a command prompt and change the AutoUpdate settings and the machine name/network.
