I can see taht the inf file is for qchains.
But theese i have slipstreamed with nlite

If i want to put in my WMP 11 i can undeerstand that i put the file name in the svcpack.inf but where?
And then just the WMP exe file in the svcpack folder?

can i use this inf file for other programs that i would like to install?

or how do i install all kind of other programs or run a exe file that only needs a click on OK ?

I think the "svcpack.inf" is just for Windows-Updates.

Your "svcpack.inf" should look like this:
[Version] 
Signature="$Windows NT$"
MajorVersion=5
MinorVersion=1
BuildNumber=2600

[SetupData]
CatalogSubDir="\i386\SVCPACK"

[ProductCatalogsToInstall]

[SetupHotfixesToRun]
WMP11.exe /Q
qchain.exe


You have to put the "WMP11.exe" in "i386\SVCPACK" on your Unattended-CD.


To install all your other applications unattended, you can use different methods for that. I prefer the "RunOnceEx" method.

Yes, you can also install apps from svcpack.inf(if they support being installed at T-13)...

The answer to what the difference is about GuiRunOnce and RunOnceEx, you can easilly find yourself by re-reading the MSFN Unattended Guide...

Thanks...As I understand the diff. is first put the applications to c drive and install aplications from c drive or directly from the CD.
