I am using a xp with sp2 cd.

And nope the detachedprogram just does not run even with the
command prompt command option.

Is there any other way to make this work?


edit: When I check out my drive, I do see the directory install with
the command "slideshow.cmd" copy successfully during the text-mode
part of the xp setup.

I'm having the same trouble as you 123321.

DetachedProgram="%systemdrive%\install\slideshow.cmd"

C:\Install\slideshow.cmd is there

winntbbu.dll just cuts in as per normal install.

I cannot think of any thing else to try.
All the other commands in the answer file work fine.

okay, I'll try your winnt.sif
and see if it works, but your and my are almost exactly the same, except
for the keyboard, timezone, and custom theme layout.


Weird, that yours work any my does not.

While searching on the web for some additional help
by typing "detachedprogram" in Google web search.
A link to the "MSFN" forum section discussing the command
"DetachedProgram": most people have difficulities with "detachedprogram"
Also it does not support "cmd" commands. Only about 2 or 3 people have manage
to make it work while most of the others can not.

Is there something special with your CD?

[websee]

i do not know, i have a regular windows xp cd that i patched myself to sp2, well actually i now use a dvd, but thats not the point. i never really had problems using detached program, but i install most of my drivers and programs from [setup params] as you can see from my winnt.sif

if you try my winnt.sif, you should delete the [components] part, cuz then you wont have some programs you could be missing later, like paint and games, but u will have instead iis installed. and of couse enter a valid cd-key

[welard]

Could u edit the code to run a vidio clip in sted of a slideshow?

[websee]

unfortunately this wont work, because i need to use windows media fpr this and wm is installed later in the setup process.

[welard]

@websee
ok ty i can not get the slide show to work not sure y

[mediapla]

i allways use a program under detachdedprograms to install my compressed driver archiv. Is it possible to run a second cmd-file at this time or can i use the start /wait parameter to run the slideshow after the driver installation ?

[websee]

yes, simply run the slideshow after your driver installation

[mediapla]

Now i have tried it. But it doesnt run. It starts the second line after the driver install but.... The file (*.hta) is looking for a linked program (... Select a program from the list) and in the list i have only Notepad.....whats going wrong ?

[websee]

try

%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\mshta.exe "%yourpath%\slideshow.hta"

[mediapla]

I tried this, but it doesnt run. Have put some "pause" in the detached.cmd to see how it runs....no function, no error message...im going creazy...
Have canceled deteched.cmd (STRG+C) and start the slideshow manually at the prompt...the same problem....

[mediapla]

...but if i start slideshow.hta after the installation it runs fine...

[stasys44]

Neither for me.

The same problem

[websee]

i really do not know what is wrong, but i read the forums a bit, and there are really a lot people complaining about detachedprogran not working. i do not know what could be the reason for it. i cannot imagine, that it depends on different xp-cds, and unfortunately ref.chm does not say anything about it. sorry, but i cannot say what to do, it works for me and i do not have any xp-installation that is not working to test it.

before you try to configure the slideshow you should make sure detachedprogram works for you.

[kmosh]

Hi,
I would realy appriciate someone to post slideshow.hta file.
How should it look like?
I looked at wpi.hta and there is no filelist.js file.
Or even better if a link to the complete files for the slideshow would be provided...
Thanks,
Kmosh.

[websee]

have you tryed looking at the very first post? you didn? the you should...
http://www.msfn.org/...showtopic=40484
there is an attachment in my very first post containing all needed slideshow files and my original instructions.

[kmosh]

Sorry, missed it first time. thanks websee

[mediapla]

..it doesnt run. Habe tried some configurations, load pictures from harddisk, dvd - no function. But now im play a little animation film on detached.cmd and mp3 files with cmdlines.txt .... "multimedia setup"....
