Post Unattend Windows XP Installation

Hi,

I want to setup a workstation through the unattend option. This works very well, but after the installation of Windows, I need to run the setup of 23 applications, some of which require a reboot of the OS. I tried it with the GuiRunOnce section, but that doesn’t roll over a reboot. I considered cmdlines.txt, but that requires a copy of all install packages to be copied to the hard disk, which is not possible for us, as there is too much data on the disk (8gb) to do the actual installation.

Is there any other method to achieve this? Because it’s the basic software load I’m putting on the workstation, my preference does not include tools like SMS and the like.

Thanks for your time and effort

Best regards
Guy
