Too many installs to be seen on the Runonce list?

Is this in vmware or a real machine?

Look in your winnt.sif file

[Display]
BitsPerPel = 32
Xresolution = 1280
Yresolution = 1024
Vrefresh= 60
AutoConfirm=1

Make sure you fill in your own settings.

i run about 20 installs, 6-7 of them are batch files, i use them to install the small stuff like wallpapers, user acct picts, & other misc things, in each batch file i have about 5-10 items, i am actually getting ready to revamp my install so the last batch file be4 cleanup will have about 10-15 installs..........

Have you thought of breaking the install of apps into separate cmd that are installed by the runonce method.

Example of what I mean, then inside of each cmd have all the app install.

for %%i in (C: 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\SETUP.exe set CDROM=%%i

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

I have several runoncex windows, one for apps, one for regtweaks. one for cleanup.... I just called it runoncex2, and call it from the end of the original runonceex...

Once windows is installed, ROE runs, installs hotifxes, reassings drive letters, then reboots, then runoncex2 runs, installs apps, then a new roe window opens to install regtweaks, and a final one to cleanup, its just a case of calling the roe procedure again.

I will be happy to provide more info, but am at work at mo, and dont have access to the files...

This is my runonceex2.cmd, which has multiple windows, so it is only as big as I want it!!!!

I personally use 2 ROE.... and call the second one, from the end of the first one, which runs after a reboot... this is my original runonceex.cmd...

MY pc only reboots once, after installing hotfixes.... my first roe window

my second window

rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess

REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Registry & Cleanup" /f

and my final windows, all from same script, without rebooting.....

I only have 2 ROE, cos I choose to reboot after installing hotfixes.. my second ROE has 3 windows, and does not reboot after each one...

If you have one ROE, all you need to do is

Just by inserting

rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess

and starting the numbering sequence off agian, this opens up a new ROE window......

You DO NOT need to rebbot at all, that is just my personal preference... all can be done from a single ROE file, just add that line above, and start of the numbering sequence again...

It is the

rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess
that initiates a new ROE window...

If you want 4, and want to reboot after each of them, you will need to call the appropiate file at the end of each one, as in my case, the last entry in my runonceex.cmd is to execute runonceex2.cmd and so on...

I have highlighted the sections where a new window will open, notice the numbering starts from 00

again...

rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess

but with 'rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess' lines RunOnceEx commands will be executed right the 12 min setup part, right?

there's no way to avoid this and execute it only on 1st logon?

ROE works at first login...

Im not an expert, but I thought only stuff in the cmdlines.txt executed at the t12 stage....

All I know if it works fine for me, it seems to be a simple enough procedure... all I did was added that line, and started the numbering off, and a new ROE window opens up with the respective installs.. simple as that

The script at the top of the page (forget about multiple ROEs) will run at first login.. 1st window will open for Applications, then install WinRAR, ultraISO, then the second window wil run, called Registry and Cleanup, and finally a new window for Custom settings...

I sugges you try it, its a very simple procedure... it seems people are overcomplicating the process....
