[Unattended] todo script without OS installation question

[ethicx]

Hi,

I been trying to implement the todo script without an OS installation by
following this:


1) Log into factory-shipped machine as local administrator.

2) Open a cmd prompt.

3) "net use z: \\ntinstall\install /pers:yes"

4) "mkdir C:\netinst"

5) "mkdir C:\netinst\logs"

6) "Z:\scripts\perl.bat"

7) "Z:\bin\todo.pl officexp.bat tightvnc.bat ..." (whatever)

8) "Z:\bin\todo.pl --go"


when the todo.pl --go gets run I get the following error: command not
recognized as an internal or external command .. what can I be doing wrong?
this is an XP machine by the way.. Any help is appreciated! thank you

You could also consider giving appsonly.bat a try. It handles item 1
to 8 + installation of Perl Runtime + PATH manipulation + autologin
issues.

I agree about appsonly, definately the better option - In regards to your problem, are you actually typing the quote marks above? Because with those quotes as they are, most of the commands won't work.
