    Hey up my clever MDL folk.

    tn here, messing as usual and messing with making my own custom Win 7, as usual.:rolleyes:

    Imagine your DISM command, one right click and all your tweaks, addons intergrations etc etc are performed.
    Everything goes well and the command window closes, unless a "pause" at the end is added.

    What I was thinking is , once the commands are run and DISM unmounts the image would it be possible for a pop up window to, well, pop up say COMPLETE !

    Do you get what I mean ?

    :cool:

    Cheers..

    Thanks for that. buttttttttt.

    where do you put such a code ?

    I just tested adding both those codes, one at a time to the bottom of my Mount Image command. No pop up window.

    My scripting skills are woefully bad I am sad to say.

    I will Google about and see what "pops Up"...:rolleyes:

    MrJinge is the powershell guy... Sometimes it seems he wants to conquer the world with powershell ;)

    put this code after dism unmount:
    Code:
    msg console /time:20 Your message belongs here

    Cheers...
    I wonder though could the title of the message box be named ? It Just says "Message from my PC....."

    :biggrin:

    afaik nope. you also only have this one line, I wasn't able in the past to create multiple lines with msg.exe - if you want it fency you can still use vbs with MsgBox.

    I see...

    Right, let's make it fancy then !

    So if this code is save as .vbs

    Say "messagebox.vbs"

    How would I make the Mount.cmd point to the .vbs after the image has been mounted.

    Or I have got it all wrong ?

    :confused::confused:

    ähhh.... you're mixing it all.

    Jinje's snipplet is PowerShell = ps1
    I don't recommend ps for so easy tasks.

    search for msgbox and vbs. the result will be one line of code.

    Code:
    start wscript "%~dp0message box.vbs"
