Post install modifications

[asampaleanu]

Hello,

Can someone confirm if the following is possible to achieve with NTLite?

I'd like to create a Windows image that has a couple of applications (non-store apps) slipstreamed into it. One of the applications needs to have some post install changes applied that are specific to the particular installation. These changes could consist of file system and registry modifications, with values gathered at the point of installation from the installing technician. My goal is to shorten installation time (OS + apps + config for the apps) and reduce the number of steps necessary to get to the final deployment state. Ideally, the UI for inputting the values used in the final configuration changes should be done in a seamless way, and, if there is a problem with the final result, it should be straightforward to redo the complete install.

TIA for any thoughts and advice,
Adrian

Hi,

In short, current post-setup execution does not allow for prompting apps. In the future there will be choice to delay execution until user has logged on.
If the input can come from after login, then check here how to initiate post-user login prompt.
Then if you want it only once, for example on admin autologon / count in Unattended autologon option = 1, and make sure to remove the default user runonce entry so that next user does not trigger your tool execution on logon. And/or delete the tool.
