Post-Setup Window has gone missing

[joel3]

Hi,

In the last week or so i've noticed my new builds no longer show the Post-Setup (as user) steps as they used to upon reaching the Windows Desktop.

The apps that I've placed in post setup install just fine, yet the box that usually shows the progress of these just no longer appears. It was a handy little feature, is this a known bug?

Many thanks,
Joel

I can confirm it's a Windows thing. The dialog box is from RunOnce, but you don't have to run a Windows install to reproduce the problem.

1. Create a few RunOnce tasks, like NTLite does:

reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce" /v "00" /t REG_SZ /d "cmd /k" /f
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce" /v "01" /t REG_SZ /d "cmd /k" /f
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce" /v "02" /t REG_SZ /d "cmd /k" /f

2. Logout and logon. You should see the first CMD window pop up, but no dialog box.

Normally it should list "00", "01", "02" as the list of queued tasks. There isn't a reg setting to make the box visible or invisible, so MS probably made a recent change.

That's bizzare! I've just used an earlier version of NTLite from last month, with the same preset & everything. The Post-Setup window now appears. How weird!
