Comment: All, I'm doing a unattended install and I'd like the [GuiRunOnce] option in my winnt.sif to run the "%SystemRoot%\System32\infinst_autol\setup.exe" command. I'd then like to remove the "%SystemRoot%\System32\infinst_autol" directory once it has finished. Unfortunately, I've attempted to do this with a combination of batch files but the "%SystemRoot%\System32\infinst_autol" directory is removed before the setup.exe is executed or the setup.exe is executed and the "%SystemRoot%\System32\infinst_autol" directory isn't removed. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks The key is to have this automated so I can give the install disk to a student to run in a 40 PC lab.

Reply: (edit)Put the batch file somewhere else. Have it execute your .EXE file and wait for it to finish (use the START command with the /WAIT switch), then delete your directory, then as the last command in the batch file delete the file itself (batch files can be self-deleting - use Google for examples). You'll want to test the commands prior to using it in your automated process, but that should work for you...
