^eMpTy^ Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 On my RIS server I've been integrating Windows XP patches into my source image for a while now. I noticed that KB925454 would not integrate and I can no longer find it in the standard XP hotfixes thread. So I decided to simply launch the installer using a batch file on first boot, but even that just doesn't seem to be working. So I was wondering if there is anything special about this hotfix that I'm missing.I also had another small problem with RunOnceEx not performing all of its assigned tasks. It seems to fail at some point and never reach the final step of cleaning. I was wondering if perhaps there is some kind of issue with RunOnceEx and running faulty batch files that can cause RunOnceEx to fail. That is to say: can an error in a batch file cause RunOnceEx to error out and stop before it's finished?Thanks!

It should install with the following switches:KB925454.exe /passive /norestart /quietThe only issue I have seen with runonceex is IE7. ieronce.dll which handles runonceex has a bug in it where it will not execute the entries you add. There is a thread about this so you can search the board for more info.To answer your question if one line in your batch fails it goes to the next it should not terminate.
cluberti Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 It's not a bug, it was functionality removed because IE7 no longer needed the reboot and the runonceex functionality to install correctly. The functionality may be added back, but it's not a bug. It was removed on purpose.

Runonceex is a funtion in Windows XP and IE just so happens to own the file. It has nothign to do with IE7 install process. I have the bug # and a case open on the issue. Microsoft already admitted it was a bug.
