Sunil Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 I think the problem most individuals find with the inf files is that it is a mite complicated and you are proned to make mistakes easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devil270975 Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 the reg way is easier, simply because if it is a normal reg file, nothing fancy about it at all, what could be simpler than writing a standard reg fileWindows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\zz110] <---This is the reg key"1"="C:\\Install\\Copy.cmd" <---This is the command, the same as a batch apart from the double slashes between directories@="Copying Files Needed For Setup" <---This is the caption seen on the screen[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\zz120] "1"="C:\\Install\\screensaver.vbs"@="Disabling Screensaver"That is all there is to it, exactly the same as any other registry entry, the only difference being the extra caption entrythough it is not neccesary i have started at zz110 for the simple fact it affects the running order less Ie: if you used zz1 zz2 zz3 the order of install would be zz1 zz10 zz11 ----zz19 zz2, so that is the reason for that, but you can use zz001 zz002 zz003 and that would install in the right order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My way is the easiest for me. Both your ways are great, but does it really matter what your UNATTENDED install looks like? You're not gunna be there watching it when you use it are you? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanoll Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 could you or somebody possibly post a screen shot of what this looks like?when does this run.....during teh cmdlines.txt i understand. But do the commands get started at the point as well, or when Windows does its final startup after setup?ie. Does Acrobat install at the point of cmdlines, or GUIRunonce?

T D Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I'm a bit confused...To execute runonceex the same time as cmdlines.txt, should I put"RunDll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 0 .\Setup.inf"orrundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess?
