NOOBIE SIMPLE QUESTION

[ebin25]

I just statrted customixing my xp installations and so far I LOVE IT. I have made several .cmd files in (C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\install\Applications.) My question is, How do i tell [GuiRunOnce] to install one cmd file at a time?

i.e.

If i wanted to run two files, would i type (into winnt.sif)

"[GuiRunOnce]

c:\install\Applications\2003_batch.cmd

[GuiRunOnce]

c:\instal\Applications\QT\qtalt.bat"

or something more along the lines of

"[GuiRunOnce]

c:\install\Applications\2003_batch.cmd ,wait, c:\instal\Applications\QT\qtalt.bat"

sorry for my ignorance but i am eager to learn.

My second question is how do I get the "C:\install" folder to be automatically deleted after the .cmd and .bat are done running?

Thank you for your patience.

to delete your C:\Install folder, add rd /g /s /f to your cleanup.bat.

I think that to run two btch files they need to be placed like this

[GuiRunOnce]
c:\install\Applications\2003_batch.cmd
c:\install\Applications\QT\qtalt.bat

the last line of your first .cmd can contain a line that calls the second, doing a quick search should get your reults.

hope it helps

GuiRunOnce is setup like this to run several commands:

[GuiRunOnce]command7="%systemdrive%\install\Applications\2003_batch.cmd"

command8="%systemdrive%\install\Applications\QT\qtalt.bat"

HINT: change .bat extensions to .cmd

bat or cmd should not be any issue with an NT OS as both are run by the same interpreter but 9x OSes know only bats and the langauge that is used only to bat files without the newer NT commands. If you use the NT command replacements then you should use cmd extension, else bat is fine if 9x compatable.
