I have this in my RunOnceEx.cmd

REG ADD %KEY%\040 /VE /D "Installing Internet Explorer 7" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\UN\IE7-Setup.exe /quiet /update-no /norestart" /f

Its one of many things in there. Everything else works, and I can see the IE7 install start. I believe it isnt working now because it cant validate the install at that time. How do I get around this?

Im not a big fan of bumping, but this is still a problem for me, maybe I have the wrong ie7 installer? maybe there is a better one?

First, browse the forums using the 'Search' feature. Keywords might include 'IE7 Validation'

Below is an excerpt of a batch file that I used to install various programs, but maybe taking note of the switches will be all you need.

@echo off

title Internet Explorer 7

color 9f

echo.
echo. Installing Internet Explorer 7 - This may take a minute or two
Start /wait %systemdrive%\OemPreinstall\IE7.exe /norestart /quiet /passive
echo. done!

I used the [GuiRunOnce] section of WINNT.sif.

[GuiRunOnce]
	Command0=%systemdrive%\OemPreinstall\yourbatchfile.bat

We have volume licensed copies of Professional, so I'm not familiar with validation troubles with IE7.
