I will try these and post back

^^ Are you refereing to User Specific themes and tweaks. For Eg. Would you want to see User1 with a specific theme or tweak and User2 with a different theme/tweak ? If you are more clear, I may give it a shot and test. Dogway, please explain your scenario

These are the steps i followed .. 1. Edited Win7SP1.iso in WinISO 2. Created folder in sources directory -- $OEM$/$$/Setup/Scripts/SetupComplete.cmd (Dont know if uppercase/lowercase makes any difference but I renamed my folders exactly the same way I am mentioning here. 3. Create a folder named - Software in the DVD Root 4. Copied all my Silent Applications inside the Software folder 5. Edited the SetupComplete.cmd file mentioned above and removed the very first line - cmdow @ /HID ( Reason - cmdow showed unrecognised internal command while testing and running the script) 6. Copied my SetupComplete.cmd file inside the Scripts folder 7. Created a blank text file called - CD.txt so that when the script is run, it finds this blank file and sets the CDROM variable. 8. Then saved as New ISO 9. Tested the ISO and was able to Install all the Apps during Windows Installation I also added few registry entries into my SetupComplete.cmd and saved the reg files inside the Apps Folder. This is how my SetupComplete.cmd looks like @echo offFOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\CD.txt SET CDROM=%%i:REG ADD HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceExSET KEY=HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceExREG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /fREG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "7 Zip" /fREG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\7ZIP.exe" /fREG ADD %KEY%\003 /VE /D "Acrobat Reader" /fREG ADD %KEY%\003 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\ACROBAT.exe" /fREG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "CD BurnerXP" /fREG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\CDBURNER.exe" /fREG ADD %KEY%\007 /VE /D "Mozilla Firefox" /fREG ADD %KEY%\007 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\FIREFOX.exe" /fREG ADD %KEY%\009 /VE /D "FLASH ACTIVEX" /fREG ADD %KEY%\009 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\FLASHAX.exe" /fREG ADD %KEY%\011 /VE /D "FLASH PLUG-in" /fREG ADD %KEY%\011 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\FLASHPLUGIN.exe" /fREG ADD %KEY%\013 /VE /D "Google Chrome" /fREG ADD %KEY%\013 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\GOOGLECHROME.exe" /fREG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "KLite Media Pack" /fREG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\KLITE.exe" /fREG ADD %KEY%\017 /VE /D "Maleware Bytes Antimaleware" /fREG ADD %KEY%\017 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\MALEWAREBYTES.exe" /fREG ADD %KEY%\019 /VE /D "Microsoft Office 2007" /fREG ADD %KEY%\019 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\O2K7.exe" /fREG ADD %KEY%\021 /VE /D "Silverlight Plugin" /fREG ADD %KEY%\021 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\Slvrlight.exe" /fREG ADD %KEY%\023 /VE /D "Winamp Media Player" /fREG ADD %KEY%\023 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\WINAMP.exe" /fREG ADD %KEY%\025 /V 1 /D "regedit /s %CDROM%\upgrade\Apps\copyto.reg" /fREG ADD %KEY%\027 /V 1 /D "regedit /s %CDROM%\upgrade\Apps\moveto.reg" /fREG ADD %KEY%\029 /V 1 /D "regedit /s %CDROM%\upgrade\Apps\Add_Computer_Desktop_Icon_All_Users.reg" /f::CLEAN-UPcd %~dp0attrib -R -A -S -H *.*SHUTDOWN /R /T 5cd..RMDIR /S /Q "%WINDIR%\Setup\Scripts"EXITAnd this is the Directory Structure that I have in my ISO Thanks and Cheers !!

Issue resolved finally I was able to achieve what I wanted. will upload a tutorial soon

Hi there, would you help me understand the file named "program install.exe /s" %~dp0"Program Install.exe" /s ::CLEAN-UP cd %~dp0 attrib -R -A -S -H *.* SHUTDOWN /R /T 5 cd.. RMDIR /S /Q "%WINDIR%\Setup\Scripts" EXIT Thanks!

For Windows xp I followed this guide http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/59/ Could not find any crystal clear tutorial for Windows 7 regarding RunOnceEx

Things that has been tried... 1.Checked regedit but did not find any Runonceex key. 2. Turned off UAC, then ran the SetupComplete.cmd again 3.Then logged off and logged in again to Windows 4. Was able to see RunOnceEx getting executed. This means the script is error free. It requires UAC turned off so I created an answer file and started to install Windows 7 again. This time Was able to log in with UAC turned off but the script did not run .... I am definitely doing something wrong. Can you guys tell me if I need to put in CMDLINES.TXT anywhere in the $OEM$ folder?

You mean - ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemroot%\Setup\Scripts\7ZIP.exeECHO.Done Ok, then what would be the best way to install these Apps ? I have used SetupComplete.cmd with the command line above and it works fine. My only concern is it takes a little longer because my APP folder contains all the Silent.exe apps which first gets copied to HDD and then executes via SetupComplete.cmd Is there a way to run these Apps from CD / DVD without copying them to local system ? Because if I create a folder say - Software in Windows Root DVD then how will SetupComplete.cmd trigger the exe inside my Software folder ? I have three systems and DVD / USB drive letter may vary.

Sorry for digging this old post ... I have tried RunOnceEx on Windows XP and it works perfectly fine. But I am unable to do it on Windows 7 using SetupComplete.cmd. Can you tell me what am i missing ?

Hello mates, I was able to install my all my Applications during Windows XP SP3 setup using RunOnceEx.cmd. There has absolutely been no issues and everything went on smoothly. I also was successful in installing my Application during Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 Setup by using SetupComplete.cmd. My Concern - Windows 7 UL installation takes time as it has to copy all the Applications from $OEM$\$$\Setup\Scripts to my HDD and then run the SetupComplete.cmd. My Scripts folder has all my Silent Apps and SetupComplete.cmd Now this is what i want to achieve - I want to install all my Apps from CD / DVD /USB Stick without copying them to the HDD. I have gone through numerous posts and have followed the instructions - 1. Under $OEM$\$$\Setup\Scripts I have my SetupComplete.cmd where i have the following script cmdow @ /HID@echo offFOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\CD.txt SET CDROM=%%i:REG ADD HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceExSET KEY=HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceExREG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /fREG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "7 Zip" /fREG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\7ZIP.exe" /fREG ADD %KEY%\003 /VE /D "Acrobat Reader" /fREG ADD %KEY%\003 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\ACROBAT.exe" /fREG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "CD BurnerXP" /fREG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\CDBURNER.exe" /fREG ADD %KEY%\007 /VE /D "Mozilla Firefox" /fREG ADD %KEY%\007 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\FIREFOX.exe" /fREG ADD %KEY%\009 /VE /D "FLASH ACTIVEX" /fREG ADD %KEY%\009 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\FLASHAX.exe" /fREG ADD %KEY%\011 /VE /D "FLASH PLUG-in" /fREG ADD %KEY%\011 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\FLASHPLUGIN.exe" /fREG ADD %KEY%\013 /VE /D "Google Chrome" /fREG ADD %KEY%\013 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\GOOGLECHROME.exe" /fREG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "KLite Media Pack" /fREG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\KLITE.exe" /fREG ADD %KEY%\017 /VE /D "Maleware Bytes Antimaleware" /fREG ADD %KEY%\017 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\MALEWAREBYTES.exe" /fREG ADD %KEY%\019 /VE /D "Microsoft Office 2007" /fREG ADD %KEY%\019 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\O2K7.exe" /fREG ADD %KEY%\021 /VE /D "Silverlight Plugin" /fREG ADD %KEY%\021 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\Slvrlight.exe" /fREG ADD %KEY%\023 /VE /D "Winamp Media Player" /fREG ADD %KEY%\023 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\WINAMP.exe" /f::CLEAN-UPattrib -R -A -S -H *.*SHUTDOWN /R /T 5cd..RMDIR /S /Q "%WINDIR%\Setup\Scripts"EXITI dont have any silent switch added to these apps because they are already repackaged using silent switches. They run absolutely without any problems / screens / prompts / restarts when I use them using SetupComplete.cmd I am also pasting CMDOW file inside the $OEM$/$$/Setup/System32. Kindly help me to achieve this. I do not have any UNATTENDED/ ANSWER File. I do not want to try out third party like RT7Lite. Am I missing something ? Kindly guide me
