[Unattended] Installing aplications with a user different than Administrator
Hello, I'm trying to setup some scripts to have most of the applications installed as a user other than administrator (although included in the administrators group). So far I have everything setup lo log on as a different user after installation. My problem now is automatically starting the todo --go command after the first user automatic logon. The todo.pl script sets the auto start option for the default user, but the first time the user I want to install with has never logged to the system yet. Any suggestions?

[Unattended] 3.5 Prepare script in Cygwin environment
Title: Message I have a couple of problems with the 3.5 prepare: 1) wget doesn'toutput to the correct location unless the parameters are switched (same as last time, but easier to fix) Change last line from: wget "$url" -O "$file" to: wget -O "$file" "$url" 2) I get the following for one of the downloads: --11:39:28-- ftp://ftp.attglobal.net/pub/client/win32/d5091.exe (try:12) = `packages/d5091.exe'Connecting to ftp.attglobal.net[165.87.194.246]:21... connected.Logging in as anonymous ... Logged in!== SYST ... done. == PWD ... done.== TYPE I ... done. == CWD /pub/client/win32 ... done.== PORT ...Invalid PORT.Retrying. It got up to (try:20) before I killed it. Perhaps a limit of three attempts would be appropriate. The wget command line parameter is --tries=X , although in Cygwin this must again be added before the $url argument. Maybe this is a slight bug in the port of wget. . Would it be possible to add an extra bit of output to the script so that the operator can tell in which file the "URL|xxx|" line being processed occurs. I've stuck in a line that says "echo Processing $file" before performing the wget command . JMB This email and any attachments are confidential to the intended recipient and may also be privileged.

[Unattended] New Sun JavaVM Script
Title: Message The following line inserted in the Sun JVM installation script (Z:\scripts\sun-jre.bat) works with the new prepare script to download the installation file: :: URL|ALL|http://java.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=9504|packages/j2re-1_4_2_03-windows-i586-p.exe (Well done to whomever figured the silent installation parameters for thisone.

(Well done to whomever figured the silent installation parameters for this one. I particularly like REBOOT=ReallySuppress. Is there also a REBOOT=NoThisTimeWeMeanItSuppress?) Blame MS, not Sun :-). The JRE installer is just a modern InstallShield gadget; see http://unattended.sourceforge.net/installers.html#ismsi. So the items inside the /v... are really the switches for msiexec. There are lots of standard msiexec properties, like REBOOT: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/msi/setup/reboot_property.asp I am not sure that the JVM installer even has to reboot, but I figure we should suppress it just in case. - Pat --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.

[Unattended] Manage devices from command line
I haven't looked at this recently but MS KB Q311272 provides a command line tool for managing devices http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q311272 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gareth Budge Sent: December 22, 2003 5:15 PM To: Patrick J. LoPresti Cc: Unattended Mailing List Subject: RE: [Unattended] RE: unattended-info digest, Vol 1 #244 - 4 msgs Hi Patrick, Sorry I should have been more descriptive. My bad. :) The procedure is that we need to install 3 drivers in total. Windows will detect the capture card, and request a driver. We provide this driver (ComArT 2nd Master) and as far as Windows is concerned the capture card is installed correctly and functions. However this is not the case. For the software to use this capture card to function correctly, it requires 2 additional drivers (ComArT 2nd Device and ComArT 2nd Slave). We have to add these using the Add/Remove Hardware wizard. Once this is done, Windows accepts the drivers and the capture card is now ready for use with 3rd party software. I am hopeful that there is a Windows shell command (or series of), or some WSH script code to install the drivers. Any assistance is much appreciated. Gareth -Original Message- From: Patrick J.
