ok for the first my cmd files seem ot execute properly so I have not worried about it. I never really thought about weather or not they waited as I know they do it's just that they execute so fast or at least the ones I use do execute fast.

I'm not sure what you mean by problem with wfp the only way you get that is if you try to replace windows files. AS for me Ido have a few things that remove files but they are cmd files and as such an eror is genereated but you simply ignore the error and wait for the ssytem to reboot.

Note: you can only do that as part of guirunonce and not part of cmdlines.txt as used here.

well for the inf file it is just putting in regitry entries so after the registry entry you see

"the name you want displayed on the installer",0,"the command line to execute"

in there I have given examples on how to do msi installer types also. For iss(install shield) installers I use cmd files to install them with wich seems ot work just fine.

lol youve done a few to many linux installs. I'm not sure if it could be done or not. You know I do have a few older gamed that are like majong and stuff that are not micrsoft games but really the soonest you would be able to call it would be durring cmdlines.txt and by that time the install is almost done or at least 2/3's the way done.

Just a thought for your inf files but maybe pictures could be include in the setup windows instead you no just to make it look nice and all.

medic: I'm using part of your 2 cd cmd for the windows update method and it works, but it doesn't work on the inf method, any suggestions?

this

should be

IF EXIST %systemdrive%\install\apps.inf GOTO RUNBATCH
SET CDROM2=
IF EXIST D:\install\apps.inf SET CDROM2=D:
IF EXIST E:\install\apps.inf SET CDROM2=E:

I also see at the end you are not calling the inf file you need to call it at some point for it ro run.

for instance in guirunonce.

[GuiRunOnce]
Command0="%systemdrive%\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %systemdrive%\install\apps.inf"

hmmm... maybe I dind't make myself clear, im using apps.cmd only to let the batch file know if the correct disc is inserted and begin copying files, actually I don't use that file, the applications setup is called within setup.inf (which is called from cmdlines.txt) setup.inf searches for applications on %systemdrive% but it wont find anything because the content of the second disc was not copied to %systemdrive% that's my problem.

PS Jus ta thought: perhaps setup is not giving copy.cmd enough time to do the job and it terminates before it can copy a thing

ah that explains it I have tried and you will get problems if you try ot do a 2cd install from cmdlines.txt. There is no way I know if to over come that.
