I'm pretty confused by this, so beforehand: I'm not sure I'm even asking this right.

How does a person go about adding programs to a slipstream (Some freeware stuff I want like xplorer2, paint.net, etc)? Do I just add it like I add hotfixes or is there something more?

its comes downs to what type of program you trying to add

some can be installed in the installation of windows and other cant be

like .net ver 2

what .paint needs

so to do this is two ways

way 1 . use the WPI .. and add all the programs you want to be listed in there so u can pick what u wantted to be installed

or

way . find a program called " runonce creator" to add the programs you wantted installed with the switchs to make them silent and they will be installed at the frist boot up of windows

ok i cant find the program thats lets me do the runonce making

but its looks like this in the file

call the file like install.cmd

cmdow @ /HID
@echo off

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

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

REG ADD %KEY%\002 /VE /D "MSN live msger" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\addons\MsnMsgs.msi /passive" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\003 /VE /D "flash plug" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\003 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\addons\install_flash_player_plugin.msi /passive" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\004 /VE /D "Wallpaper" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\004 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\addons\wallpaper.exe " /f

REG ADD %KEY%\055 /VE /D "Cleaning up" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\055 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\addons\cleanup.cmd" /f

add that to the file .. to load this

add this to the cmdlines.txt file in the \$oem$\

"install.cmd"

So can .net 2 be installed in the RunOnce method if it were installed first? If not can you provide an easy example of where it can be installed please?

Thanks
