Software Deployment

It's pretty self explanitory.. have a look at exsiting examples in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run on your day to day workstation.

Only difference with RunOnce is that the entry is automatically deleted after it's been executed.

Not sure if you can have RunOnce per-user but depending on what your script is doing - ActiveSetup might be a better solution.

My applications script needs to copy of one the files on the system.But it doesnt happen coz, the machine reboots since its the package requirement.

I need the scripts should automatically run once the system is back.How coudl this be achieved?

can i copy the path of the Bat file in Runonce under the path specified by u?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Why not just use the MoveFile table?

I need to execute the Runonce in a Batch script...Could anyone help me with the script?

ActiveSetup can also be used

how? can you quote an example?

is the script's only purpose to copy over a file that's in use? If so, listen to VBScab. MSI will create a pending write operation that will execute after the reboot.
If not, use a custom action that runs after the reboot task.

how? can you quote an example?Can you use Google? Come on....

Did it ever occur to you that Google might be how he ended up here?

Some people are still trying to learn this stuff. "Can you use Google? Come on..." doesn't answer anything. If you don't want to help someone...say nothing. Basically what you did, but with less typing.

I know, the post is ancient...but it still came up in Google.

Did you get the point yet? Or will you have to Google it?

wow, a new member who is giving a lesson to VBScab, who has 8454 posts...

priceless!

not to mention it's 2 and a half years after the fact...

Did it ever occur to you that Google might be how he ended up here? Actually, he wouldn't have ended here, in this forum, but in the rather good article on Active Setup which has been the top hit on Google for the search term 'active setup' for as long as I can remember. If that article didn't provide the answer then, frankly, the OP should give up.

As to the time lag, to my mind, you were probably searching for the answer yourself. Did you ignore the top hit? Any of the next 4 or 5 hits would have provided what you (and the OP) needed.
