Yes you can play music or sound during the install at the t13.

In the cmdlines.txt add a cmd for playing the sound

Example cmdlines.txt

[COMMANDS]

MyMusic.cmd

MyMusic.cmd

@Echo Off
CLS
MODE 55,5
COLOR F9
start "Some_Drive_Letter\Some_Folder\Music.File"

[uid0]

I use the ascii beep at T-13, echo (ctrl-G)

[spidercop]

@Echo Off

CLS

MODE 55,5

COLOR F9

start "C:\WINDOWS\system32\oobe\images\title.wma"

dont work

en how can i use ascii beep

[uid0]

in your batch file, type

echo

then hold down Ctrl and g

Perhaps you should check to see if the file exists first

[code]@Echo Off
CLS
MODE 55,5
COLOR F9
Set Music=%SystemDrive%\Windows\system32\oobe\images\title.wma

If Exist %Music% Goto Play
If Not Exist %Music% Goto Missing
:Play
start %Music%
Goto EOF
Exit

:Missing
CLS
Echo.
Echo Can Not Find This File
Echo %Music%
Echo.
set /p = Press Enter To Close This Window.
Goto EOF
Exit[/code]

Then try this it is a VBS script

Save as PlayMusic.vbs

[code]Dim Music :Music="Place The Path And Name Of The File Here"
Dim Act :Set Act = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Dim Fso :Set Fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
 If Fso.FileExists(Music) Then
  Act.Run("wmplayer.exe /play /close " & Music),0,True
 End If[/code]

I do not know if this script will work, I am on Vista and mplay32.exe is in my music folder.

This script plays all my music files in the folder and the player is not visable.

[code]Dim Act :Set Act = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Dim Fso :Set Fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim F1, F2
 Set F1 = Fso.GetFolder(".")
  For Each F2 In F1.Files
   If Right(InStr(F2.Name,".mp3"),4) Then
	Act.Run("mplay32.exe /play /close " & F2.Path),0,true
   End If 
  Next[/code]
