install batch file hangs
Jeremy
I have three scripts I use in conjunction with a Windows 2000 install.
During the unattended install, initiate.cmd is copied to the c drive.
Map.cmd and Install.cmd are copied to the c:\install directory. The idea is
that after the unattended install is completed, the administrator account
logs on one time. It runs c:\initiate.cmd. That calls c:\install\map.cmd
which calls c:\install\install.cmd. Map.cmd and Install.cmd are inside
c:\install so that I can have c:\initiate.cmd delete the directory for
security purposes (so the paths, user names and passwords will all disappear
after the first reboot). Something about the process was causing a General
Fault error though, so initiate.cmd would not complete the reboot task. I
thought the problem was something to do with my rd c:\install line and or my
reboot line, so I deleted them, but still no change. By chance, the
c:\install directory and the initiate.cmd and shutdown.exe files were not
copied over during the unattended install one time. So I manually copied
them to the appropriate location and, lo and behold, everything ran smoothly
and didn't hang. So I'm thinking the best plan would be to rewrite my
script so that it uses copy and xcopy to copy the files and directories I
need and then starts installing the programs. But I thought I'd post all
three scripts just in case someone sees something inside of them that can be
change. And sorry, I should have recoreded what the General Fault was
exactly. I'll have to do that on Monday.

installs for firefox, adobe, etc.
You could add 'EXIT /B 1' for the 1st script then 'EXIT /B 2' for the 2nd etc.
Then you could use 'ECHO %ERRORLEVEL% after the CALL statement to check that subscript was executed.
To narrow down the error further just inject extra 'ECHO ...' statements before & after a potential
error condition - maybe before a package install & then after to see you get both ECHO's okay.
I found this simple approach can quickly narrow down the location of where the script 'blows up'.
I ike that piping:-
>ver | find "XP" > nul
>if %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 goto CTSORC309
Will use this in my scripts :)

I added some more 'START /W ' commands - probably important to wait for those large package
installs for firefox, adobe, etc.
You could add 'EXIT /B 1' for the 1st script then 'EXIT /B 2' for the 2nd etc.
Then you could use 'ECHO %ERRORLEVEL% after the CALL statement to check that subscript was executed.
