cmdlines.txt strangeness

[Spheris]

Would appreciate some insight from anyone familiar with the cmdlines.txt as far as moving the bulk of the batch commands to that

tried it with standard start wait switches - nothing

but not given up hope yet

I haven't tried cmdlines before, but there's one thing you should know - the Windows Installer service isn't started in that area, so you can't install programs such as MSN Messenger 6 and Movie Maker 2

[Spheris]

Thanks much for the reply

I have an alternate for the msi installs that I'll post up later today

the thing i'm looking to do is integrate the hotfixes to the cmdlines sections - should cut a considerable amount of time because it will use the win32 rather than wow subsystem to install them

[Bachus]

If you manage that, could you post what you've done for the rest of us to look at?

Here you go- the last three lines are not for the faint of heart and experimental

Sometimes ya really gotta dig to find stuff. 2 questions, Spheris:

1) Is it a typo on the startstate line, that there are no quotes?

2) Is there any reason this would not work from SVCPACK.INF?

Sorry to blow the dust off ...
