Ironeagle Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 (edited) Hi. I have just begun to make an unattended xp cd on my own. I can make an xpcd which has sp2 and all the hotfixes upto now with nLite, no problem. But when I want to put programs on that cd I get confused very much; batch files, winnt.sif, runonce.ex.cmd I don't know about these.What I want is this:When installing windows, I want these applications to be installed from cd too:Office2003Frontpage2003MacromediaMXAdobe ReaderWinampWinrarFlashgetKasperskyMediaplayer10Neroand maybe more...I know that there must be enough space in cd for these progs and I have silent setup files for these programs. All are single exe's. I found them from somewhere. Can anybody patient tell me what to do, step by step. I mean where to put these exes in cd, what files must be changed for install etc. Edited March 26, 2006 by Ironeagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironeagle Posted March 26, 2006 Author Share Posted March 26, 2006 Thanks RyanVM, I know there and I have read many times before but believe me this is a difficult subject for me to understand and one must have enough knowledge over some areas to understand it. I don't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankE9999 Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Check out www.appdeploy.com for information on how to do silent installs for various applications.As for starting everything off I would just run a batch file from the [GuiRunOnce] section of winnt.sif. If you put the batch file in the $OEM$\$1\Temp folder it will get copied to the local hard drive.[GuiRunOnce]"%SystemDrive%\Temp\run.bat"Since you are installing off a CD you may want to look at 7-zip. 7-Zip is freeware and it can compress your installs into self-extracting executables.
