RE: [Unattended] Re: Problem after first reboot

[Rampanelli M. J <Michael.Rampanelli@Siemens.com>]

Well I'm glad to see someone else had the same problem as me.  I too
don't know perl but I researched it enough to be able to modify todo.pl
to put it in the startup group instead of the registry.  This seems to
have fixed my problem.  I have not had any issues since doing this.  I
suggested to the list that they change it permanently in todo.pl but got
no response.  Below is the snippet of code that I changed.  Basically it
copies a "launch.bat" to the startup group, which launches todo.pl. I
commented out the original lines that copy to the registry.  Hope this
helps! =20

Here is my launch.bat:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=

c:\netinst\mapznrun.bat z:\bin\todo.pl --go

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=

 Here is the snippet from todo.pl.

Subject: RE: [Unattended] Re: Problem after first reboot


Hello, All!

I have similar problem with ie6 installation on Windows 2000. After
ie6sp1  is installed PC is rebooted by todo.pl script, but after PC=20
automatically logins
todo.pl is not invoked any more. I checked the Run registry key and=20
found that
mapznrun line presents there, but todo.pl does not starts.

more details:
a. I have windows 2000 with integrated sp4 unattended  installation. The
ie6.bat is the very first thing installed after perl installation.

b. I populated ie6sp1 with prepare script, also I downloaded and
unpacked  ie6 installer to Z:\packages\ie6sp1\enu folder as asked in
unatteded=20
documentation.

I though that I could integrate ie6 into Windows 2000, but from MS docs=20
I see
 the integration is possible only for hotfixes, and ie6 can not be=20
integrated,
at least I did not found the way.

What can I do to solve mine problem? Is it correct way to modify todo.pl
script to put in Startup group instead of Run registry section? Can it
rise any issues? Also, I'm not much experienced in Perl, and I would be
pleased if someone  provide adjusted run_at_logon  procedure, so that I
can change mine todo.pl script, please?

I'm going to solve the problem by sheduling reboot after ie6sp1=20
installation.

Best Regards,
Voronkov Konstantin
