Slipstreaming...
Posted by Carmen Gauvin-O'Donnell on May 19th, 2008


Hi everyone!

Is it possible to create a slipstream CD of anything other than an operating
system? I've looked online but the only stuff you find is for OSs.

The reason I ask is because I'm having to reload a program which consists
of, get this, *139* small executables.

Needless to say, if there's a way for me not to have to sit at my desk
clicking files 139 times, I'm in!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Carmen

the software manufacturer might have a website and good support email,
and maybe a forum, and would have some ideas.. Maybe they already have
a version that incorporates all the 139 patches.

If it is just a matter of running the executable, then you could make
a bat file with a list of all the executables in it.
suppose all your executables are in that directory. c:\patches
Do
c:\patches>dir /b >list.bat

So now you have a file called "list.bat" with all your executables.

A bat file can be executed. So then do
c:\>patches>list

And it will run list.bat

Now.. If more clicking is required like for specific executables, like
clicking Next.. You could use something like AutoIt maybe.
