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 Powertoy
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\PowerToys\TaskswitchPowertoySetup.exe /s /v /qn
ECHO.

ECHO Installing Command Here Powertoy
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\PowerToys\CmdHerePowertoySetup.exe /s /v/qn
ECHO.

ECHO Installing Image Resizer Powertoy
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\PowerToys\ImageResizerPowertoySetup.exe /s /v/qn
ECHO.

ECHO Installing Power Calculater Powertoy
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\PowerToys\PowerCalcPowertoySetup.exe /s /v/qn
ECHO.

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.

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.

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?

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 XP

ECHO Please wait...

start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Powertoys\PowertoysXP.msi /qn

works great

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.
