Hello

what you are missing is the ::OPTIONAL in the first line of the batch file, 
which tells unattended that this script can be selected.
Why don´t you use the base.bat?

Regards

Betreff: [Unattended] updates and packages

Hi all,

I'm currently using unattended-4.7 on a CentOS 5 server and I have a question 
concerning the installation of hotfixes and applications "the unattended way".

The setup works fine, I can install my machines using diskless PXE boot.

The problem is when I want to add hotfixes and applications.
I first put all batch scripts (except perl.bat which I do not touch) which were 
in the scripts directory in a subdirectory which I called "unused_scripts" for 
lack of a better name.
I downloaded 7-zip and vlc binaries, placed them in the packages directory; 
copied the 7-zip.bat and vlc.bat back into the scripts directory and edited 
them in order to keep only the minimal number of lines. That works fine, cool. 
:-) I then copied the firefox and thunderbird scripts into the scripts 
directory and downloaded the binaries into the packages directory. That works 
too, great. :-) Feeling very bold and lucky, I then copied the winxpsp*.bat 
scripts back into the scripts directory and ran the script-update and prepare 
tools with the proper language code (FRA). It indeed updated my scripts and 
downloaded the binaries to the proper directories, brilliant. :-) 
Unfortunately, when I run the installation of a machine, the only applications 
I can install are 7-zip, vlc, firefox and thunderbird. No trace of the updates 
anywhere. I checked rights on files and folders, that's OK. I tried copying the 
binaries to the packages directory and editing the scripts, to no avail. I just 
can't get these updates to appear in the applications list...

There must be something obvious missing which I can't, for the life of me, 
spot. :-( Can someone point me to a clue? That would be great. :-)

Thanks a lot and congratulations for this great project. :-)

Cheers,
