Running batch file from GuiRunOnce doesnt complete

[B.Bill]

I am running a batch file from GuiRunOnce. The batch file takes about 2 minutes or so to complete if ran by hand, and completes with no issues. It installs several pieces of software, and does some quick checks to see if certain hotfixes are installed. When GuiRunOnce comes up after install, I see it kick off the batch file, but it finishes very quickly, with no obvious errors, and none of the software is installed. Here are the contents of the RunOnceEx.cmd:

@echo off

SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "install.bat" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\AP\install.bat" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "Sanupdate.bat" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\SanKit\5.26\InstallScript\sanupdate.bat" /f

EXIT

sanupdate.bat is the one that is having the issue.

Just so we're on the same page here... the code you posted should take a fraction of a second to run and I'm guessing it runs fine. The sanupdate.bat file that you mentioned is having problems is running from RunOnceEx. Since GuiRunOnce and RunOnceEx kick off at essentially the same time and you're intructing RunOnceEx to launch sanupdate.bat, then you'll have to reboot for sanupdate.bat to run.

I would suggest running the code you posted from cmdlines.txt if you want the RunOnceEx settings to take effect after the first reboot.

[B.Bill]

Maybe I am confused. Here is the contents of my cmdlines.txt:

[COMMANDS]

"RunOnceEx.cmd"

It just kicks off RunOnceex.cmd, which I posted earlier. RunOnceex.cmd will run install.bat and sanupdate.bat on first logon (I have autologon enabled and autologoncount set to 1). Shouldnt this just run install.bat and sanupdate.bat?

Perhaps this where I was confused. It seemed as though you were saying that the code above was running from GuiRunOnce.

RunOnceex.cmd, if it's code from post #1, will not run the batch files, but rather it will set them to run from RunOnceEx. So it does not appear as though anything is running from GuiRunOnce - at least not from what you've described thus far. If there is a problem with sanupdate.bat, then perhaps you would like to post that code. How and when are you getting the SanKit\5.26\InstallScript directory on to your system drive?

[B.Bill]

I have the directories in the $oem$\$1\ folder:

$oem$\$1\AP\

$oem$\$1\SanKit\

I must be confused about the GuiRunOnce. I thought the RunOncecmd was GuiRunOnce (disregard my ignorance). The code at the top is from the RunOnceex.cmd file. The sanupdate.bat runs fine if ran manually, so I dont think its something with the script. I just need these 2 batch files to run to install the san software on the machines. Is this not the place to do it?

[RogueSpear]

Well I don't see anything immediately that's wrong with your batch file setting the ROE entries. The only thing I can really think of is that something is not being found. One troubleshooting suggestion for circumstances like this is to verify your target exists. Try inserting an IF EXIST in there to see if "%systemdrive%\SanKit\5.26\InstallScript\sanupdate.bat is found by the batch file.

[B.Bill]

The batch files are being found, but arent completing. Could it bebecause something the batch file is looking for under the \SanKit\ directory hasnt been completely copied over yet? (its about 300Meg). Is there a better place to run the batch files automatically?

[RogueSpear]

If you're copying over everything via $OEM$\$1, then it all get copied during the text mode portion of setup. So it's there long before. This is why I was interested in the batch file. If it's working when run manually, but from RunOnceEx, I figured there may be something of interest to look at.

If there's anything sensitive in the batch file, just XXXX all of that out if you'd like to post it.

I don't really see anything that stands out in the batch file, but then again I'm more of a VB guy than batch. Perhaps one of MSFN's resident batch experts will take a look and see something.

[B.Bill]

A little more info. I added a log to the batch file and it is complaining about a hotfix not being applied. I added the hotfix to the image with the /integrate option. The batch file calls a vbs script that looks for the hotfixes that have been applied here:

cscript /nologo hotfix.vbs | find /i "908980"

this portion must be failing when running via RunOnceex.cmd. hotfix.vbs is on the %systemdrive% in the same dir as sanupdate.bat. After the system logs in the first time, if I run this by hand, it finds the hotfix with no issues. Any ideas?
