View Full Version : Run an EXE after Windows XP install?

OK, I've created a slipstreamed Windows XP install. I've got a few EXEs that silentely install things like Adobe Acrobat, Java Runtime, .NET Framework; you know, essential stuff. I've added the EXEs to the $OEM$ folder, along with the drivers.

My question: after setup, the EXEs are copied to C:\Switchless Installers. How do I tell Windows to run a specified EXE on first login? I have the answer file set to automatically log in as the Administrator on first boot, so I need this to run the EXEs after the first automatic login. How do I do it? Something that goes in the answer file I'm assuming, yes?

There should be an "add commands" option when you are creating your answer file. You can instruct it to run a script that will install those items.... I think... It's been a while. :p

Thought it was something like:

[GuiRunOnce]
Command0=C:\blah.bat
Command1=C:\blahblah.exe
Command2=%windir%\notepad.exe

and so on.

seems easy enough if that's it. makes sense to me too... so that can't possibly be it. :D
honestly though, I don't know.

This has alot of information about unattended / slip stream installs.

Hope this helps.
