Hello , could you please help me replacing runonceex to WPI??

So, according to this guide : http://unattended.msfn.org/advanced/methods/wpi.htm , I have to put all the WPI files under X:\WPI, if I want to install apps from CD/DVD , right?

Till now I had a runonce cmd file with cmdlines.txt included in %OEM% distribution folder.

Now what should I do if I want to replace the normal runonceex with the Windows Post Installer?

And again I want to install the applications from Cd/Dvd.

Do I need the %OEM% distribution folders?

Do I have to add something to winnt.sif???

Thanks Indeed

Regards,

I dont understand you...

That is just a side effect of the multi configs opition.

So no need for it ,right?

But by default at some programs it set to yes.

Im speaking about the configurations line in the Config menu where I set up which program will be installed and how...

This line is under the Category dropdown box.

Clear??

i understand now where you talking about, but i am very unsure what your question is? you want to know why a checkbox (of a aplication) stay checked (called forced install)? or why some checkboxes are checked and other dont?

for both questions: RTFM which is included to your WPI.

i think you could better ask to kelsenellenelvian, i think he understand you better then i do...

What is Configurations line (array/row/string I dont know more word for it) for?

It is placed under the Category dropdown box.

What can I do with it.??

In the example file at some applications its set to Yes.

Another thing, why the WPI after installing programs doesnt delete the icons and doesnt reboot the machine?

But its set in the WPI.cmd

why dont you read the manual which is included with WPI? listen... you can set multiconfigs, for example, you have 3 sorts pc (PC1=school PC2=home PC3=office). on PC1 you need to install program 1 , 2 , 4 , 7. on PC2 you need to install 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 6, 7 on PC3 you need to install 6 and 7. this is not really needed, it is a feature of WPI, to choose 3 (of more) configs.

i have disable the multiconfig by removing all lines with "home, office, school". maybe i will use it in the future. i am kindly new to WPI (i use now 2 weeks)

is it clear for you? please dont ask so much, read the manual which is included in your WPI.

very good question, i noticed the same as you.

Ive found a solution that might work.

Just create a cleanup.cmd as it is written on the unattended mfsn page.

And then just insert into the application list and give it 999 for the position.

And at the end of the setup it will be executed and viola the Pc restarts and delets the icons.

I know now why it doesnt do anything.

Just remove the REM thing which is before the command.
