Nice work..

To save some typing you might change your batch to something like this loop for finding your source.

FOR %%I IN (D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z) DO (
IF EXIST %%I:\WIN51IP.SP1 SET CDROM=%%I:
)

Same for:

FOR %%I IN(.blt,.cue,.diz,.eml,.iss,ETC,ETC...) DO (
ASSOC %%I=txtfile
)

sorry to bump into this rather already old topic, but I'd like to ask gosh something about Trick #3: Associate file types...

Quote

REM ftype will also show all registered types
assoc .blt=txtfile
assoc .cue=txtfile
assoc .diz=txtfile
assoc .eml=txtfile
assoc .iss=txtfile
assoc .log=txtfile
assoc .md5=txtfile
assoc .m3u=txtfile
assoc .nbi=txtfile
assoc .nfo=txtfile
assoc .nt=txtfile
assoc .pif=txtfile
assoc .sam=txtfile
assoc .sif=txtfile
assoc .sfv=txtfile
assoc *=txtfile

What do you exactly mean by...REM ftype will also show all registered types...?
and the last one: assoc *=txtfile...doens't this mean all other files will be associated to a txtfile?

then...if I put your assoc commands in "filetype.cmd" for instance and I link that in "RunOnceEx.cmd" like this:

ECHO.
ECHO Associating File Types
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\filetype.cmd

Whould that work?

i wanted to use the 'association file types' method too, for my Unattended XP CD.
in fact it simply doesn't work at all, for me



here is what i use :

assoc.bat is launched at the begining of my RunOnceEx.cmd :

CLS
@echo off

REM ftype will also show all registered types
assoc .log=txtfile
assoc .nfo=txtfile
assoc .sfv=txtfile
assoc .sif=txtfile
assoc .srt=txtfile
assoc .sub=txtfile
assoc *=txtfile

EXIT

part from runonceex.cmd :

REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\assoc.bat" /f

i suppose the method can work, my knowlegde in unattended cd creation is not enough advanced, but in my case it has no effect.

Rename your batch file to assoc.bat

oh, i made a type error, i edit my previous post.

of course, it's assoc.bat and not assoc.cmd which is called in runonceex.cmd
sorry

[CoRoNe]

First of all what does CLS do? And can you tell me what "REM ftype will also show all registered types" means exactly? (I'm quit the beginner with this stuff)

So, can someone please tell me if the following CODE whould work?

RunOnceEx.cmd

ECHO.
ECHO Associating File Types
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\filetype.bat

filetyp.bat

REM ftype will also show all registered types
assoc .blt=txtfile
assoc .cue=txtfile
assoc .diz=txtfile
assoc .eml=txtfile
assoc .iss=txtfile
assoc .log=txtfile
assoc .md5=txtfile
assoc .m3u=txtfile
assoc .nbi=txtfile
assoc .nfo=txtfile
assoc .nt=txtfile
assoc .pif=txtfile
assoc .sam=txtfile
assoc .sif=txtfile
assoc .sfv=txtfile

CLS means Clear Screen.
it removes all the lines/characters in the DOS window, so it appears like a new DOS window.

i always write it, but it's not really necessary.

This is a very old thread. Please do not make posts here which are not directly related to the topic. Making a new thread for your above question will certainly get more people seeing it, and more responses.

[CoRoNe]

so CLS and @echo off have the same function ...weird

not topic related?
I guess if you look at the first page of this thread you most certainly see things about filetyp associations!!!
but oh well...I'll post a new one

not the same function !

CLS : clear the window's screen.

@echo off : means that only the texts after "echo" will be displayed, but not the actiions.
@echo on : means all texts will be displayed, text after "echo" but tha actions executed too.

make a test u'll see




@prathapml:
yes, that's true that the topic is quite old.
it could be good to open new topic for new questions

Hi there!
I'm trying to troubleshoot some problems in my current instalation, some software just doesn't install, don't know why. I use SFX archives, called from RunOnce.cmd (lanched from [GuiRunOnce] in WinNt.sif), that automaticly install all the software. Th problem is i've been trying to use Logs to determine what's causing some software not to be installed. How do you do to make the CMD files log errors and sucesses?

Or maybe they just don't have time to install, could it be?

Greetings
André Casal
