Using Cmdlines.txt
« on: August 20, 2002, 04:21:41 PM »
So far, I have managed to create a fully unattended Windows 2000 setup. Now I am ready to take it one step further. I have noticed you can use Cmdlines.txt to install applications during the GUI setup. I would like for it to install IE6, DX8, WMP8, Detonator Drivers and so on. What switches/commands would I use for this ?

I don\'t think you can use cmdlines.txt for the Detonator drivers, IE6, WMP7.1 and DX81.b however works well, check http://www.tech-hints.com/ie.html

cmd and gui\'s apps don\'t mix. cmd can work as gui but not the other way around. so if you have a gui to install you apps, and there is not switch to bypass bui mode, you will have to write some macros for it and run that. i would sugget goshting if you need all of that out of the gate. would be faster and obviously less interaction.

You are correct FJellu. Today I made a fully unattended setup which also installed IE6, WMP8 and DX8.1B. However, I could not get the hotfixes running by themselves. What switches should I use under the [GuiRunOnce] section ?

Specify hotfixes!
If you mean IE, WMP and DX themselves create separate batch files for each, ex. IE6.bat, put them in the root of $OEM$ folder structure and run from cmdlines.txt
[Commands]
\".IE6.bat\"
This way you can use relative paths which enables to install to other drives than C:

For W2K updates: Slipstream SP3 into Gold version W2K. Slipstream hotfixes using the method I mention in, (with comments for SP3)

http://www.thetechguide.com/forum/showflat...er=5591&fpart=1

For IE6 patches use IEAK6; read http://www.tech-hints.com/ie.html#1

For WMP patches: use the method explained in http://www.tech-hints.com/ie.html#3
The first WMP patch can be run from cmdlines.txt (ie wmpup1.bat). The second WMP rollup patch must be run from [GuiRunOnce] (ie wmpup2.bat)

For such: ?????
