RE: [Unattended] Quick Launch (amendment)
I don't know if this is VERY off topic is you look on the date posted, but
another approach that I used half a year ago to go round this problem was to
create profiles in XP and let a script copy them over with all the required
changes and settings that my company wants an installation to include.

Hm, tricky.
According to this thread:
http://groups.google.com/groups?threadm=uOmqnfa5BHA.2196%40tkmsftngp07
...the relevant registry entry is the Taskbar value under the
HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/Streams/Deskto
p
key. Obviously, it is a per-user setting.
Unfortunately, that value looks like a random binary blob to me. The
only KB article I could find is not terribly helpful:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=216663
But, maybe if you take a snapshot of that value as a .reg file and
restore it into the Default User's settings, it will do what you want.

RE: [Unattended] Can Active Perl be uninstalled before the Unattended instalation is ended?
Personally I don't see the need either... What we do is delete the entry in the Start Menu by simple having a batch file clean them up. I can see the need for the users not knowing an extra piece of software is there, but not to remove it...

Currently i've shared the folder for specific group only and i'm able to perform an installation while logging initially with my username and password. More details, please... What version of Unattended did you use to create your boot disk? How are you logging in initially? By answering yes to Override bootdisk defaults, or something else? (Specifically, what are you typing and seeing on the screen up to the point where you map the drive for the first time?) You have to let autoexec.bat (not the net logon command itself) ask you for the user name and password explicity; otherwise, there is no way we can grab the credentials to store them. - Pat --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.

That's because people people install Visual Basic to design programs, but
then distribute the programs with the vb runtime. With Perl, you have to
the program installed for the scripts to run.
It may be tricky. Everything in Unattended, including the code which

To uninstall ActivePerl 5.8.1.807 you can run MsiExec.exe
/x{2A0016A1-1150-4147-A618-E34C18F1AAA7} /qb and it will uninstall without
any prompts. The problem is that each version of Perl uses a different {}
string, so you may have to look up the correct string if your using a
different version.
I was thinking, although I haven't tried it yet, of putting in the
site\unattend.txt under meta:
bottem=cleanup.bat
In there I would have regedit \s uninstperl.reg
and in the .reg I would have it under
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx]
uninstperl=MsiExec.exe /x{2A0016A1-1150-4147-A618-E34C18F1AAA7} /qb
Like I said, and idea, but one I'll try later.
