dialogs not closing

Well ive almost got my unattended install to work

I use RunOnceEx to install my apps and because there are so many the dialog goes off the bottom of the screen, so ive split my apps up into diffrent 'dialogs' by use 6 diffrent .cmd files

e.g. RunOnceEx1.cmd, RunOnceEx2.cmd etc..

now my question is when these dialogs run, after the first one is done the second opens fine and so on, but the first one doesnt close and neither does the second when it goes onto the third one..

I have EXIT at the end of each .cmd file but it doesnt seem to work

is there any other way to close the dialogs?

also cmdow doesnt seem to be working (the cmd windows still show) any ideas on that..? :unsure:

Thanks

Colin-uk

How are these RunOnceEx# files triggered? It sounds like #1 runs, then it executes #2, and so on.

If that's the case, then what sounds like is happening is that RunOnceEx1 starts RunOnceEx2, and it will not move on to the next line (your EXIT command) until RunOnceEx2 completes and returns control. This continues on through RunOnceEx6. When that completes, control is returned to #5, which then exits and returns control to #4, which exits and returns control to #3, and so on.

I'm only going by how you have described it. If you post your code everyone will have an easier time troubleshooting it.

Now that i think about it nothing in the last .cmd file (RunOnceEx6.cmd) works at all :/

maybe i should just give up :P

How about a hta that has all you stuff that you want to install, then you would only have 1 RunOnceCmd to run. I made this HTA as a example, it has a couple of your apps in a Array.

	SYSMENU = "Yes"		 WINDOWSTATE = "normal"
	VERSION = "1.2.1"	   INNERBORDER = "yes"
	SELECTION = "yes"	   MAXIMIZEBUTTON = "No"
	MINIMIZEBUTTON = "Yes"  NAVIGABLE = "yes"
	CONTEXTMENU = "yes"	 BORDERSTYLE = "normal"
