Why don't you just get unattended to run your batch files; then you can have fully automated installations :)

It is needed to install the dictionaries. Indeed. As it turns out I don't need 7zip coz the script never reaches the zip files. Also I've decided that while appsonly.bat was great for the time I used it, and I've loved having script-update and prepare to keep packages up to date, I'm moving on. It's mainly because we have too much other quirky software that noone is going to maintain an installation repos for other than us. So I've now got a suite of batch files that install everything at one click. I've plagiarised shamelessly from the unattended scripts and am very happy with the result so far. So I now have two systems: Unattended for operating system installation, patches and configuration; and my own suite of batch files for application deployment. It's actually smoother for me than trying to use unattended to do both.
