problem with my runonceex.cmd ?

[Macromorph]

Hi,

I made my own unattended XP install.

Problem is the applications I added are not unattended installed:

I've got this error in setuperr.log :(translated from french )

Warning: Setup was unabe to invoke external program runonceex.cmd
CreateProcess returned error 2 (2).

***

Error:
Setup was unable to execute the commands in $OEM$\OEMFILES\cmdlines.txt.

My cmdlines.txt is :

[COMMANDS]
"runonceex.cmd"

My runonceex.cmd is:

cmdow @ /HID
@echo off

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

REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installation des applications" /f

REG ADD %HEY%\005 /VE /D "MSN Messenger 7.5" /f
REG ADD %HEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%Systemdrive%\INSTALL\MSN\MsnMsgs.msi /qn" /f

REG ADD %HEY%\010 /VE /D "Emule 0.46c" /f
REG ADD %HEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%Systemdrive%\INSTALL\EMULE\emule.exe /S" /f

REG ADD %HEY%\015 /VE /D "Winamp 5" /f
REG ADD %HEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%Systemdrive%\INSTALL\WINAMP\winamp.msi /qn Xfull=1 XDesktop=0 XQuicklaunch=1" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\090 /VE /D "Ajout des utilisateurs" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\090 /V 1 /D "%Systemdrive%\INSTALL\comptes.cmd" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\095 /VE /D "Modification de la base de registre" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\095 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %Systemdrive%\INSTALL\regmodif.reg" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\099 /VE /D "Nettoyage et Reboot" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\099 /V 1 /D "%Systemdrive%\INSTALL\cleanup.cmd" /f

EXIT

cmdow.exe is in $OEM$\$$\system32\

all other files at their places.

I don't get it, could you help me please

Thx in advance

That looks correct, but I've got a better solution that cmdlines.txt that is less prone to error (at least for me ).

Place your runonceex.cmd file in $oem$\$1\TEMP on your CD, then in your Winnt.sif file, use the [setupParams] section to call your script:

[SetupParams]
   UserExecute=%systemdrive%\temp\runonceex.cmd

This will execute at T-9 during setup, with no need for a cmdlines.txt or any other files to keep track of.

Well I think i'm gonna try your solution

I forgot to say that in a previous version my comptes.cmd file was called from the cmdlines.txt, line under runonceex.cmd and comptes.cmd ran successfuly.

[Macromorph]

with your method i get this now :

Warning: Setup was unabe to invoke external program c:\temp\runonceex.cmd
CreateProcess returned error 2 (2).

Could it be because my file is renamed runonc~1.cmd ?

That's definitely it. Is the file getting renamed during install? If so, that's yet another problem because it shouldn't be...

well it's cdimage who shrinked the file names.

It's ok now it works.

It didn't work the first time and you can now all laugh at me look, and I searched like 1 hour why it didn't work properly:

cmdow @ /HID

@echo off
