IE6 Install w/o reboot?
« on: August 26, 2002, 08:44:50 AM »
I\'m trying to incorporate an IE6 install with a unattended W2K install.  The problem I keep on running into is that it reboots right after IE6 finishes and doesn\'t let the machine finish loading up thus causing a few errors.  I\'m initiating the IE6 install with a batch file in my GuiRunOnce and creating the IE6 package using the IEAK6.  I\'ve seen the posts that say to use the parameter /R:N but where do I put that parameter to make it stop rebooting?  Thanks for any help...

If your batch file says:
%systemdrive%winappsie6ie6setup.exe

Then change to:
%systemdrive%winappsie6ie6setup.exe /R:N
Hope this Helps,

Instead of initiating your IE6 install from the [GuiRunOnce] section in the unnattended file, use the cmdlines.txt approach. IE6 will then install before logging in the first time. It will be installed before saving settings, if I remember correctly.

The W2K install process then completes before rebooting (which it would do anyway). You can also put DirectX and WMP in the cmdlines, by the way

The machine is still rebooting automatically even with the /R:N parameter in my batch file.  Is there something i\'m missing? Thanks.
