I need another brain to help me get round my issue.   I have one task sequence for all laptops /desktops.  All drivers install and laptop specfic apps install to laptops only.  The issue I have is that I we have a three  different groups of apps to be installed depending on what the users wants installed.   Only the users who is sitting at the pc is going to know what is to be installed so a menu is required. I would like a menu that prompts the user which image to choose which would then set a variable.  Then later on in the task sequence if the variable = image 1 install these apps.

Would it be possible to modify the task sequence.xml to have more choices which points to the same guid. but then write a reg key or set a varaible within the task sequence.  So later on I can install apps depending on the user input. 

I could write a some VBS code just after the OS install which prompts the user then sets a reg key.  Then later on in the task sequence install apps depending on what the reg key  is.  THis would work but would be messy as I would rather the menu is prompted at the start, preferable during the task sequence stage.  so the user then does not have to do anything until it has finished.

I cant write a regkey at the start as the pc has not formatted and the OS has not been installed.   Can anybody shed any light on how they are doing it.
