Yazoo Posted September 21, 2003 Posted September 21, 2003 I seem to be having trouble installing MS Powertoys, the copy method for TweakUI works a treat but for the others I am using ECHO Installing Task Switcher PowertoyECHO Please wait...start /wait %systemdrive%\install\PowerToys\TaskswitchPowertoySetup.exe /s /v /qnECHO.ECHO Installing Command Here PowertoyECHO Please wait...start /wait %systemdrive%\install\PowerToys\CmdHerePowertoySetup.exe /s /v/qnECHO.ECHO Installing Image Resizer PowertoyECHO Please wait...start /wait %systemdrive%\install\PowerToys\ImageResizerPowertoySetup.exe /s /v/qnECHO.ECHO Installing Power Calculater PowertoyECHO Please wait...start /wait %systemdrive%\install\PowerToys\PowerCalcPowertoySetup.exe /s /v/qnECHO.It looks like its installing but they haven't. However the msi files the install create are located in the C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Installations What am I doing wrong? This is the last hurdle left in my CD.
Aaron Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 They only install into the current logged in user, not all users. So if these were installed in the Administrator account and you switched to your own username, the Powertoys won't exist.
Yazoo Posted September 22, 2003 Author Posted September 22, 2003 I use a batch file to create a user first, then the last thing to be installed is the powertoys. So what your saying is at that point I am still logged in as Admin. How can I set up a user account before the GUIRUNONCE kicks in?
rstryker Posted September 23, 2003 Posted September 23, 2003 if you run powertoysetup.exe and go to "C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Installations" you can get the "Powertoys For Windows XP.msi" then I renamed and used:ECHO.ECHO Installing Powertoys for Windows XPECHO Please wait...start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Powertoys\PowertoysXP.msi /qnworks great
Yazoo Posted September 23, 2003 Author Posted September 23, 2003 I was running them from GUI so they only installed for the Admin account.I moved them to cmdlines.txt now they work fine.Yeah I tried the msi too.
