I posted these lines of setting.txt because when i run the runonceex.js all applications " install directly from the disk..." are ok, only firefox( copy to CD) fail . it said" please insert disk...firefox" sorry, I dont remember exactly but i hope you know this problem. I appreciate your help. ^^

Are you sure that firefox is not stored to CD ? Look in Software\firefox
Have you one cd or more created?

Firefox used -ms switch, not /s

Message "please insert disk...firefox" means the file or directory, notified in "firefox.checkPoint", is not found.. This message don't mean "wrong switch" !!

Make sure that directory "Software" called "Software" and not "Software " or " Software" (without spaces at begin or end of Name !!) Make same check for directory "firefox"

Look in the file $OEM$\$$\Runonceex.js on cd (right click and select "Edit", don't double click!!). Contains this file exactly follow code?

Code:

soft[n].name = "firefox";
soft[n].checkPoint = "Software\\firefox";

If its all ok, create a new ISO, maybe helps it

[dungxvn2007]

Thanks Don Vitali, you helped me so much
exacly the code is:
soft[n] = new Array();
soft[n].name = "firefox";
soft[n].checkPoint = "Software\\firefox";
soft[n][0] = "\"%CDROM%\\Software\\firefox\\Firefox Setup 2.0.exe\" /s";
n++;
anything wrong?

[Vitali]

No, all is ok ...

Try to create new ISO..
