Hello everyone,

I just need to fix one thing before I call this project complete. I have spent about 5 days working on making an unattended CD. Need a bit of a rest. I want to thank everyone for your help and for having this awesome site. I learned quite a bit.

Anyways, the issue a PC will reboot after installing .NET 1.1 through RunOnceEx. I used the version with the fix incorporated from RyanVM.

REG ADD %KEY%\008 /VE /D ".NET Framework v1.1" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\008 /V 1 /D "%PP%dn1.exe" /f

is that dn1.exe a SFX?

I use the same from Ryanvm and it don't reboot but I have this

REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /VE /D ".NET Framework v1.1 SP1" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /V Inum /D "%SystemDrive%\Install\_NET_1.1_SP1\netfxsp1.exe" /f

Okay, I see now what happened. I get an error refrencing 7 Zip when the silent installer of .NET SP1 is being processed. Any ideas?

No cause I don't even see 7-Zip in your list

Perhaps a Cmd /C Start /Wait is needed on something there to make it wait till it's done before the next item. You'll learn that some things bypass and it starts something else even while the last is running. Thats where you need the wait.

I typically do about 50 - 60 apps and I've learned that some require the /wait. Its trial and error on your part

Okay, it is the .NET2 which does the restart.

Ok same thing http://ryanvm.msfn.org/

REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /VE /D ".NET Framework v2.0" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /V Inum /D "CMD /C Start /Wait %SystemDrive%\Install\_Net2.0\dotnet2.exe" /f

I do the /wait there

Okay, it is the .NET2 which does the restart.

What is the switch to prevent it from rebooting? After the reboot the rest of the apps install fine. It is just annoying.

I got the .NET2 installer from the Switchless Silent Installers thread.

So I use the wait command on the RunOnceEx? I thought that was for batches only.

Here is what I have so far. Let me know of any suggestions you have. I dont recall the reboot issue before. I think it started when I added the .NET V1.1 install. I only added it because I read you needed to. I also found it annoying I was prompted for it on Windows Update.
