Is this right?

[GuiUnattended]

AdminPassword=*

EncryptedAdminPassword=NO

OEMSkipRegional=1

TimeZone=4

OemSkipWelcome=1

DetachedProgram="%systemdrive%\install\t39.cmd"

If this isn't right please post the edited version so it will work. John

[MGadAllah]

did you tried it yet?

If yes, what was the result?

[mazin]

This is mine:

[GuiUnattended]

AdminPassword=123

EncryptedAdminPassword=NO

AutoLogon=No

AutoLogonCount=0

DetachedProgram = "%SystemDrive%\Install\Utils\GUIstart.bat"

[RBCC]

Does it have to be a .bat instead of a .cmd file? John

[mazin]

I read that a CMD does not work for some people, so I decided to use a BAT and it works just fine.

That's it.

@ mazin

where in the forum I can find a tutorial for creating such one, because search did not helped yet!?

[mazin]

No need to a tutorial. You just put the following line under [GuiUnattended] in WINNT.SIF:

DetachedProgram = "%SystemDrive%\Install\Utils\GUIstart.bat"

Let GUIstart.bat (or whatever name.bat) do whatever you want it to do at T-39.

In my situation, GUIstart.bat is in %SystemDrive%\Install\Utils.

Please Help!!

This doesn't run detachedprogram, can someone please edit it? I have tried it with quotes and not, whats wrong John

What about this idea

    DetachedProgram = CMD.EXE
    Arguments = "/C CALL or START whatever.BAT or another.CMD"

[mazin]

It works for me the way I posted. However, Yzöwl's code is much safer to use.

GuiUnattended]
AdminPassword=123
EncryptedAdminPassword=NO
AutoLogon=No
AutoLogonCount=0
DetachedProgram = "%SystemDrive%\Install\Utils\GUIstart.bat"

You write your winnt.sif lie this you will aler instalation password -123- but when you whant use RunOnceEx.cmd your instalation will sot and you will need write 123 password

GuiUnattended]
AdminPassword=123
EncryptedAdminPassword=NO
AutoLogon=Yes
AutoLogonCount=2
DetachedProgram = "%SystemDrive%\Install\Utils\GUIstart.bat"

Now will work bether do not stop.

What about this idea

DetachedProgram = CMD.EXE
	Arguments = "/C CALL or START whatever.BAT or another.CMD"

Thank you very much for your code. It works flawlessly for me.

What I have done is instead of putting all the expanded drivers in $oem$\$1\Drivers folder I have created a self extracting cab file encompassing all the drivers I need. Unlike M$ expand utility this executable automatically recreates directory structure also! The folder size has gone down from 75 mb to 45 mb. All the drivers are now available to the installer. I delete the executables & the .cmd file at the last stage of the installation.

I am now going to try the same trick with $Prog & $Doc folders to see if I can save further space.

[RBCC]

Thank you for all your help!

[RBCC]

could someone write a tutorial that what kinds of things you can install with detached program? thank you John
