hey, first post here. i've been trying to create my own unattended wxp install disk, and have largely been successful, but i'm having problems with three programs, live messenger, symantic antivirus 10 and alcohol120%. I'm installing using a batch file and guirunonce.

basically, at first log on, SAV will start to run, show the little progress box for a second and then start onto the next install.

ECHO.
ECHO Installing Symantec AntiVirus 10CE and it's latest updates...
ECHO Please wait...
msiexec /i "%systemdrive%\install\SAV\sav.msi" /passive RUNLIVEUPDATE=0 reboot=reallysuppres

that's the code i'm using and it works once i've actually logged on. as of now, the last lines of my batch file copy the sav.msi/ and the code to the desktop and i run it from there.

i thought the problem was with the /passive switch, since defender installs perfectly and uses the /qb switch, but i changed it and got this error for all the msi installers (except defender)
"this installation could not be opened. verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer package."

lastly, the same thing happens with alcohol, but also during setup alcohol adds a drive which prompts windows hardware wizard to start. is there anyway to automate the windows hardware wizard?

ECHO.
EcHO Installing Alcohol 120%...
ECHO Please wait...
msiexec /i "%systemdrive%\documents and settings\all users\desktop\SAV\setup.msi" /qb reboot=reallysuppress
regedit /s "%systemdrive%\documents and settings\all users\desktop\SAV\key.reg"
regedit /s "%systemdrive%\documents and settings\all users\desktop\SAV\lang.reg"

that's my alcoholcode. it works once logged in, but still prompts for the WHW

thanks for your time, hopefully these problems are pretty easily solved!

Autoit?

WinWaitActive("Hardware Update Wizard")
Send("{TAB}{ENTER}")

I made this literally off the top of my head, I can't remember the window titles or what keystrokes to use. You'll need to make ur own, but this gives u an idea.

You need to let autoit start alcohol otherwise it wont popup the hardware wizard.
And there is no (silent) switch for the latest alcohol.
