and add this line into guirunonce option from nlites entries.ini

RunDll32.exe %11%\AdvPack.Dll,LaunchINFSection %17%\wmp11.inf,RunOnceEx

then it doesnt run at first startup!

so does anybody of you have a .inf code which can help me to run this runonceex stuff at first startup? cmdlines.txt i cannot edit with nlite.

nobody?

[foothills]

Those are INF files..... not reg files. That is the start of your problem I think.

[Sereby]

i know and that shouldnt be a problem and this should be .inf files..

where is the difference if i add the reg keys with a .inf and they run or if i use the inf to add the reg keys from a.reg file and they run? i can say it you.. there is no difference ^^

[Sereby]

has nobody a solution for me?

[Innocent Devil]

i dont know what the 'Flags' entry do???

try the 'rundll32 setupapi.dll,InstallHInfSection' method instead of LaunchINFSection

and the do a dry run by 'rundll32 iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess'

try to simplify the paths like %10%\inf ==> %17%

errs like wmp.dll.exe

Did you ever stop to think, that nLite has NO idea what the INF Directory IDs mean? %11% is useless to it, you'll need to use normal DOS variables. Even using this method, RunOnceEX will execute on the NEXT restart unless you force it.

As for one the first scenario doesn't work....

They're imported when WMP is installed, and a RunOnceEX call is made later on. The entries are deleted once RunOnceEX has executed.

What you could do instead, is create a seperate INF file, execute the INF directive at CMDLINES.TXT and then they'll execute at first logon.

tell me how i can call this inf file from CMDLINES.TXT if i want to make a nlite addon! i kno if i could add lines into it it would be no problem but i cant add lines into it if i want to make it as an addon.

and %17% is %windir%\inf yes and that has nothing todo with nlite because its an .inf file which is called during parsing sysoc.inf..

No idea. You'll have to find out yourself. I personally hate the AddOn. Now, you could just make a simple TXT file and copy it over yourself before creating the ISO.

I'm aware what %17% means, I was just explaining why

RunDll32.exe %11%\AdvPack.Dll,LaunchINFSection %17%\wmp11.inf,RunOnceEx

didn't work.
