What I wish to do is: start the installation manually (with no timeout), and when all is finished, automatically exit / restart after timeout.

I tried playing with "/autoexit" switch but it will abort only on startup of wihu.

Is that possible?

Why don't you create a batch launching wihu 2 times ?

I don't follow you - please explain

It depend what you want to do exactly.

I imagine you want to install several apps by default and when it's done give the user the option to install a few others.

It could be done in 2 way.

If it's linked with an unattended CD, you could launch wihu a 1st time at T-13 using cmdlines.txt and a second time at the 1st final boot via [GuiRunOnce] in winnt.sif
You could use 2 different ini file if needed.

If it's not linked with an unattended CD, just create a batch file ex:test.cmd with 2 lines

CODE
wihu
wihu


You could also set different parameters for each wihu execution:
CODE
wihu /SkipSettings /INI=file1.ini /Autoinstall=5 /SkipRestart /Log=log1.txt
wihu /INI=file2.ini /Log=log2.txt


That's just an idea, but could work fine

I think this should work with /autoinstall=1000000000
