Im confused about when it says look at the link for an example http://unattended.ms...ions/winrar.htm

Add these lines to your batch file:

ECHO.
ECHO Installing WinRAR 3.20
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\WinRAR\wrar320.exe /s

I am doing a silent install of winrar and dont know what batch file it is talking about.

hi

u can do a silent install WITHOUT a batch file (just use the winnt.sif file)

but back 2 the original question

open notepad goto file > save as, next name it Applications.bat put quotes around it, so its like

"Applications.bat"

thats it

should now see the icon has changed wherever u saved it 2, it will have a "gear" icon

anywhere, most ppl usually put it in

$OEM$\$1\Install\Apps\<place Batch file Here>

then just refrence your GUIRunOnce section to it

[GuiRunOnce]
%systemdrive%\Install\Apps\Applications.bat
