I have been refining my unattended Windows XP SP2 + Hotfix rollups thanks to TommyP's excellent HFSLIP tool and the efforts of all of the tireless MSFN Unattended Windows junkies here.

I've run into an odd problem trying to get AVG-Free to install from a fired RunOnceEx command.

The error log:

Now, my RunOnceEx.cmd setup script:

EXIT

I've never seen this sort of error before... the log shows the RARSFX is being fully decompressed in the C:\WINDOWS\TEMP area, so running it from CD-ROM isn't the problem. I've also eliminated corruption by typing the same effective install command from the command line - it works flawlessly.

I imagine the "broken" KB update which can't integrate is possibly trying to queue up a file modification on the same file... I'm about to try to re-queue another install event (RunOnceEx queueing another RunOnceEx - ick)...

Or perhaps I can move this install to a T-12 time thing?

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Just as a follow-up to this post.

Moving the AVG install in the RunOnceEx.cmd up to the first position (just renumbering the item) seems to have fixed the problem with the AVG install failing due to a "PENDING UPDATE" conflict. Both the buggy KB update and AVG were correctly installed after this change.

Note: this does nothing for the "auto-update" definitions issue which seems to be still unresolved at this point.

For AVG-Free to install from a fired RunOnceEx command, see http://unattended.ms....xp/view/web/31

When conflict with pending file rename operations are detected, it's best to convert to your checklist to make sure everything is in order!
