calbrian Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Hi:Thanks to the knowledgable people on this board, I have read the information and sucessfully created created an XP SP1 Unattended Install disc. I was successful in integrating everything I want on one CD-ROMMy question:OK, this is what I want to do. I have my operating system and programs on C: and I have Backups (including all the setup files) for the applications I would like to install on D:How would I write a batch file, that I could run after XP is installed, to silently install all (or most) of my applications.I understand that many of you run an applications batch file during the windows install but this necessitates putting the windows XP install disc on a DVD, but I don't have a DVD burner...yet.I also understand that many use a syntax like:ECHO.ECHO Installing AIM 5.2ECHO Please wait...start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\AIM\Install_AIM.exe /sSo assuming I had a backup of the AIM installation program on my computer at:"D:\Backups\AIM\Install_AIM.exe" could I just change the syntax to read:ECHO.ECHO Installing AIM 5.2ECHO Please wait...start /wait D:\Backups\AIM\Install_AIM.exe /sand than generalize this to all the other programs I want to silently install according to the instructions here..Thank you in advance for any knowledgable replies.---------------------------------------------------------------------B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gosh Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 You might want to use a variable just in case you want to use a cd based install in the futureSet Source=D:\BackupsECHO.ECHO Installing AIM 5.2ECHO Please wait...start /wait %Source%\AIM\Install_AIM.exe /s-gosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
