cmdlines.txt

[tIlldEath]

am new to the unattended cds

cant make the cmdlines.txt work

i have this line in my winnt.sif

[GuiRunOnce]
;"%systemdrive%\cmdlines.txt"

and i have the file located in >

$OEM$\$1\cmdlines.txt

so what am doing wrong ??

[mkh]

hello

You must type :

[GuiRunOnce]

"%systemdrive%\cmdlines.txt"

good luck

[oioldman]

the

;

will have something to do with it.

Remove it and see what happens

[MHz]

Cmdlines.txt is placed in: "$OEM$\Cmdlines.txt"

Sample contents of Cmdlines.txt

[COMMANDS]
"RegEdit /s RegTweaks.reg"

Edit:

Setup will look for this file by default at T-12, so do not worry about calling it from anywhere.

i've moved my cmdlines file to the root of the $OEM$ directory, but it didnt seem to work

as i've got an error saying something like the [c:\cmdlines.txt is missing ]

i've also removed the ";" from this line [;"%systemdrive%\cmdlines.txt"]

now am putting the cmdlines.txt back to the "$1" folder and re-installing

will keep u posted, thx

I can tell you with absolute confidence that Mhz was correct in stating that it goes into $OEM$ and that setup will look for it automatically. Perhaps the contents of your cmdlines.txt file has errors in it and that's why it's not working.

here is my cmdlines.txt

[COMMANDS]
"RunOnceEx.cmd"
"useraccounts.cmd"
"REGEDIT /S hkcu.reg"
"REGEDIT /S Install\Soft.reg"

sorry, am not an expert

Well it certainly looks fine.. are you also putting the two .cmd and two .reg files in $OEM$ ?

[MHz]

Your Cmdlines.txt is fine. You just need to add it into the root of $OEM$.

Do not have an entry in Winnt.sif to execute Cmdlines.txt.

Note: Cmdlines.txt will execute at T-12, even without a Winnt.sif file used.

my problem was that the 2 .cmd, and .reg where in the folder called $1.

when i moved them to the root of the $oem$ it worked like a charm
