RE: [Unattended] language dependent updates
What I'm working on is in using Microsoft SUS (Software Update Services) to download all the latest patches and upgrades from the selected language to the unattended upgrade directory. Then it is necessary to create the script that installs the downloaded patches. This avoids the need to search for the download locations. The main problem is that the upgrades don't have the standard names that we usually download from Microsoft. Anyone has worked on this before?

Having Perl is no different than having Visual Basic, and nobody asks about uninstalling THAT. But you are the third person to ask, so... It may be tricky. Everything in Unattended, including the code which cleans up the registry and reboots at the very end, is written in Perl. I do not know what will happen if you try to uninstall Perl from within a Perl script. Maybe it will just work. You can use msiexec /x to uninstall the package. The first thing I would try is putting it just before the final .reboot directive in the initial todo.txt file. If that doesn't work, then we have a problem.

[Unattended] Installing aplications as a user other than administrator.
Hello everyone, I already posted this question a couple of days ago but haven't got any answers yet. Maybe the mail did not get to the mailing list correctly. I'm trying to setup some scripts to have most of the applications installed as a user other than administrator (the user of course is provided with administrator privileges). So far I have everything setup so that after a first logon as administrator, it switches automatic logon to the specified user. My problem now is automatically starting the todo.pl --go command after the first logon for this user. The user I log on with is a domain user so the first time I log on the profile for such user does not even exist. I've tried adding the todo.pl --go command in the HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run registry key without success. I hopped that such key would be copied to the installation user profile on its first logon but when the profile for the user is created it does not seem add the todo.pl --go command to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run registry branch. Of course, the first thing that I am planning to execute after the installation user logon is a cleanup of the registry key in HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Any suggestions to accomplish my goal.
