Under some unknown condition the session.ini file is not generated for an AIO integration. No input box (with default file name) is presented when starting the integration. Install files are Win7 x86 SP1 ISO file downloaded with WTK. Integrating system is Win7 x86 with current patches. Since no session.ini file is generated, what is needed/desired to debug the problem?

I am aware of the prerequisites. I took them out of the AIO run when attempting to narrow down why RunOnce is not executed.

The default session.ini filename is YYYY-MM-DD-HH-SS-CC.ini when request box is presented when starting AIO integration. The actual file used is YYYY-MM-DD-HH-SS-CC_YYYY-MM-DD-HH-SS-CC.ini in both the "%programfiles%\WinToolkit\Last Session" and root of the install files directories. I have attached file explorer displays as well as the session.ini file. 2014-05-13_15-30-28_2014-05-13_15-30-28 Win7 x86 Ultimate-only.ini

No session file is generated in %ProgramFiles%\WinToolkit\Last Sessions directory or in the root directory of the install files. Source for the install files is Win7 x86 SP1 ISO downloaded via WTK and copied to c:\temp\Win7x86. WTK session (executed on Win7 x86 SP1 system with current patches) updated drivers, added 11 themes, integrated 20 updates, and had both automatic and optional silent installs

I desire to have "IE11-Windows7-x86-en-us" to be an optional install. Must it be integrated? I will open a new topic to report the other error that I discovered.

I went to the registry editor as instructed above. The desired registry entries for my silent installs are present ( and pasted below), but RunOnce is not executed. While testing, I have found a second bug. The last session.ini file is not generated in either %Program Files%\WinToolkit\LastSessions directory or in the install files root. When I pressed "start" (to start the WTK integration process), I was not presented with the question box for what to name the file. Should I create a new topic for this, or continue this one? [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\WIM_Software\WinToolkit] "00000|DoubleDriver"="|%DVD%:\\WinToolkit_Apps\\DoubleDriver\\DoubleDriver.exe*" "00001|EasyBCD 2.2"="|%DVD%:\\WinToolkit_Apps\\EasyBCD_2.2\\EasyBCD_2.2.exe*/S" "00002|NetworkIndicatorSetup"="%DVD%:\\WinToolkit_Apps\\NetworkIndicatorSetup\\NetworkIndicatorSetup.exe*" "00003|vcredist_x86"="|%DVD%:\\WinToolkit_Apps\\vcredist_x86\\vcredist_x86.exe*/passive /norestart" "00004|MicrosoftCodecPack_x86"="|%DVD%:\\WinToolkit_Apps\\MicrosoftCodecPack_x86\\MicrosoftCodecPack_x86.msi*/passive /norestart" "00005|IE11-Windows7-x86-en-us"="%DVD%:\\WinToolkit_Apps\\IE11-Windows7-x86-en-us\\IE11-Windows7-x86-en-us.exe*/passive /closeprograms"

I ran WTK -> AIO with bare minimum (no additional drivers, tweaks or updates, just silent installer). RunOnce (SilentInstaller) ran fine. Install.ini does not have either of your suggested changes to it. I have pasted the file contents below. Refer last session .ini file name: The prompt for the file name (when AIO -> start is pressed) has a single date/time instance, but the actual file has the date/time in the name twice - i.e "2014-05-04_23-02-30_2014-05-04_23-02-30.ini" #Any line starting with a # are comments and will be ignored. #Lets you specify the configuration of the installers #InstallDir is where your apps are located. #DriverDir is which directories to scan for inf files. #Reboot makes RunOnce reboot Windows after completion. #NOTE: INSTALLDIR will ALWAYS check the following directories even if not specified in the config section: #INSTALLDIR=Sources\WinToolkit_Apps #INSTALLDIR=WinToolkit_Apps [Config] INSTALLDIR=Sources\Apps DRIVERDIR=Sources\Drivers #Here are some other samples. #INSTALLDIR=E:\Software #DRIVERDIR=X:\MyDriverCollection REBOOT=FALSE #Things which will always get installed. Anything after * is a switch i.e. /S /Q /Silent [Automatic] #KBXXXXXX-x64=%DVD%:\WinToolkit_Apps\Windows6.1-KBXXXXXX-x64\Windows6.1-KBXXXXXX-x64.msu #User will be asked to choose which of the following apps to install. [Manual] #Microsoft Office 2013=%DVD%:\WinToolkit_Apps\Office2013\Setup.exe*/configure %DVD%:\WinToolkit_Apps\Office2013\config.xml #Example 1=%DVD%:\WinToolkit_Apps\ExampleProgram\Example.exe*/s

I will try your suggestion. Where can I find a list of other literals (%DVD%, %SOURCEDIR%) used by the install process?

Modified file, pasted below, also did not execute RunOnce. I am installing from a USB flash drive to a live (separate) hard drive partition. Should "%DVD%" still be used? #Any line starting with a # are comments and will be ignored. #Lets you specify the configuration of the installers #InstallDir is where your apps are located. #DriverDir is which directories to scan for inf files. #Reboot makes RunOnce reboot Windows after completion. #NOTE: INSTALLDIR will ALWAYS check the following directories even if not specified in the config section: #INSTALLDIR=Sources\WinToolkit_Apps #INSTALLDIR=WinToolkit_Apps [Config] INSTALLDIR=%DVD%:\WinToolkit_Apps DRIVERDIR=Sources\Drivers #Here are some other samples. #INSTALLDIR=E:\Software #DRIVERDIR=X:\MyDriverCollection REBOOT=FALSE #Things which will always get installed. Anything after * is a switch i.e. /S /Q /Silent [Automatic] #KBXXXXXX-x64=%DVD%:\WinToolkit_Apps\Windows6.1-KBXXXXXX-x64\Windows6.1-KBXXXXXX-x64.msu #User will be asked to choose which of the following apps to install. [Manual] #Microsoft Office 2013=%DVD%:\WinToolkit_Apps\Office2013\Setup.exe*/configure %DVD%:\WinToolkit_Apps\Office2013\config.xml #Example 1=%DVD%:\WinToolkit_Apps\ExampleProgram\Example.exe*/s

The problem is not restricted to only x64; I also experience it with x86.

install.ini does not have the line. I have pasted the file contents below. Can I manually edit the file to add the line and rerun the install as a work-around? #Any line starting with a # are comments and will be ignored. #Lets you specify the configuration of the installers #InstallDir is where your apps are located. #DriverDir is which directories to scan for inf files. #Reboot makes RunOnce reboot Windows after completion. #NOTE: INSTALLDIR will ALWAYS check the following directories even if not specified in the config section: #INSTALLDIR=Sources\WinToolkit_Apps #INSTALLDIR=WinToolkit_Apps [Config] INSTALLDIR=Sources\Apps DRIVERDIR=Sources\Drivers #Here are some other samples. #INSTALLDIR=E:\Software #DRIVERDIR=X:\MyDriverCollection REBOOT=FALSE #Things which will always get installed.

Install of files, generated with WTK, completes without calling Wintoolkit_Apps (RunOnce). Files generated starting with downloaded Win7 x86 SP1 using Win7 x86 SP1 computer. See attached session file for what was done. The Wintoolkit_Apps directory and subdir are created, just not used. BTW - why does the session file name contain date and time twice? 2014-05-04_06-56-22_2014-05-04_06-56-22 Win7 x86 #204.ini

Check box default is ticked, meaning the item will always be installed. If you wish to be asked, during the install process, if the item is to be installed, the box must be unticked.

Your write-up makes no mention of boot.wim. Are the x64 items automagically added when the x64 install.wim is merged?

I'm trying Silent Install +Sfx (runonce?) and ran into a problem. Is there a way to have an optional step run before an automatic step? It appears to always run the automatic items before beginning the optional.

Just used all-i-one creator, combining x86 and x64 images. It even automagically renamed the images to prevent conflicts! I also see Win-PE and Windows-setup images listed for both x86 and x64. What are the for? Are they needed?

Current RunOnce performs all the automatic installs first, then the selected non-automatic. Desire to run a non-automatic before an automatic.

Add ability to replace or update catalog files. Currently need to use M$ AIK. The catalog file should also be deleted when a product is deleted.

A-i-O shows ability to tweak via Advanced -> tweaks. This ability is not present in the current production version (1.4.32.5). See attached page from guide.

Listing of languages for download has "English", but no description whether US/British/Canadian.

When an Image is deleted (i.e. - WindowsBasic), the associated catalog (CLG) file is not deleted. This problem with version 1.4.32.5
