<winxp> RunOnceEx from server
Posted by Jeff on April 21st, 2008


hey

(I'm playing arround with winxp installation for the purpose of learning
more about winxp installation, maybe if I'm lucky go and take a
certification exam on the subject someday in the future)

I've created an unattended installation of Windows XP Pro (sp2). When the
installation finishes I then want RunOnceEx.cmd to start installation of
some standard programs I need (java, symbian, carbide.c++ etc)

I would like to have this RunOnceEx.cmd placed on a server so I easily can
modify it's contents. For example when I create this RunOnceEx.cmd file I
use this file to install J2SE: java_j2se_1411.exe, so in RunOnceEx I specify
this file for installing J2SE. The problem is that a few months later that
is an old version of J2SE, and then I want to replace that file with another
file etc...

The goal is I want RunOnceEx to install programs which are up-to-date.

My unattended installtion is from a CDR I created (slipstreamed sp2 into it)

Is it possible to install XP from a CD-ROM and have it's RunOnceEx.cmd on a
network share?
(in addtion to the RunOnceEx.cmd on the network share I also place the setup
files for J2SE etc there too)

any suggestion?
