I modified all the base scripts to be a bit quieter by default. The batch scripts should have to echo almost nothing to the screen because todo.pl announces what it is about to execute AND gives status if it returns a non-0 error code. With this patch my unattended scripts look much nicer :) I also have been working on automated application installs using a batch script on machines that have never seen unattended before. Read: no c:\netinst directory, therefore no authentication files, no Z_ variables, etc. Rather then depending on outside scripts to setup things correctly (error prone) I decided to construct a separate script to setup the appropriate variables, Z_PATH and Z, map a drive using current user credentials, install perl and fire off the todo.pl script. It is a work in progress and most definitely needs work but it does work, I just don't like hard coding all the todo items in there, but its no worse then what postinst.bat does. I usually run justinstallapps.bat from the start menu -> run -> "\\servername\sharename\justinstallapps.bat" Comments encouraged.... Flame away :) -Jeff
