Now I have it completely fixed my last problem above was from making my Virtual machine only 2gigs so it didnt have enough space to install all the files. I also figured out the problems with my application installs, two of them just had ""'s in the wrong spot...

Well I got it to work, just tried it a 2nd time and it worked for some reason? Tested it out in vmware to mak sure they were applied. Thanks.

OK I got everything working except this one thing. After windows is done installing and it tries to login for the first time I get this error Windows Product Activation This copy of windows must be activated with Microsoft before you can continue. You cannot log on until you activate windows. Do you want to activate Windows Now? I select Yes and I get this A problem is preventing Windows from accurately checking the license for this computer. Error code: 0x80004005. Here is my current winnt.sif file.(note: my serial number does work) ; Generated by nLite 1.2.1 [Data] Autopartition=0 UnattendedInstall="Yes" MsDosInitiated=No [unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended UnattendSwitch="Yes" OemSkipEula="Yes" OemPreinstall=Yes FileSystem=* WaitForReboot="No" NoWaitAfterTextMode=1 NoWaitAfterGUIMode=1 DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore NonDriverSigningPolicy=Ignore OemPreinstall=Yes [systemRestore] [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* OemSkipWelcome=1 OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone= [shell] DefaultThemesOff="Yes" [Components] Iis_common=Off Iis_ftp=Off Iis_inetmgr=Off Iis_internetdataconnector=Off Iis_nntp=Off Iis_serversideincludes=Off Iis_smtp=Off Iis_webadmin=Off Iis_webdav=Off Iis_www=Off Iis_www_vdir_scripts=Off Iis_asp=Off msmsgs=off msnexplr=off zonegames=off [userData] ProductKey="MY SERIAL" ComputerName=UNKNOWN FullName="NA" OrgName="NA" [RegionalSettings] Language= "0409" [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents="Yes" [GUIRunOnce] command9="%SystemDrive%\DPsFnshr.exe" %systemdrive%\install\batch_file.cmd

Ok so I tested out an other iso. I had to go back to nlite and check off a few more things and re-integrate it then I went back to RVM integrator and did that again, went back to DPBASe and re-integrated the hotfix package, edited my winnt.sif file to add the location of my batch command to run silent application installs, and re-created iso file. This is what happened when I tested it in vmware this time. It got up to the point Regional and Language Options then it wanted me to select and hit next. THe other dialog boxes that popped up that I had to attend to were --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Personalize your software" - Name and Organization fields Date and time settings. Workgroup or Domain name "Welcome to Microsoft windows - Thank you for purchasing windows..." "Will this computer connect to the internet directly or through a network?" "Ready to Register with microsoft?" "Who will use this computer?" Your name, 2nd user fields "Thank You! You computer is configured for internet access... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How can I get past these unattended?

Hello everyone, I've been messing around with the whole windows xp sp2 unattended install for a week now. Been testing it out with vmware player. First time I tried everything manual. A lot of stuff didn't work of course. 2nd time I did these steps in THIS ORDER: 1. Took windows xp sp2 cd and copied all folders/files to C:\XPSP2 2. Used RVM Integrator to integrate his sp2 hotfix pack. 3. Used Nlite to trim down size and select registry edits. 4. Integrated all driver packs wtih DPBASE.(From Driverpacks site of course). With this I had a lot more luck, though I still ran into a few screens that I had to attend to during xp setup(think I forgot to check off a few things in Nlite). Now, I want to add silent application installs to this setup and I'm somewhat confused where to start since I already did all those integrations. I've added the $OEM$ folders to C:\XPSP2, put all my installation files into C:\XPSP2\$OEM$\$1\Install, created a batch_file.cmd(Which Ive tested in VMWARE to make sure its completely silent)inside of "Install" folder as well and have $systemdrive%\install\Batch_file.cmd in [GUIRUNONCE] within the WINNT.SIF file. I need to create the ISO now for the setup, so would I re-integrate all those things then make the iso or just create a new ISO with my new settings? Also I noticed that even though I used DPBASE to integrate all the driver packs I downloaded from driverpacks.net that it didnt select the right drivers in vmware like for my audigy sound card. I just saw a dialog popup when windows first logged in. I got sound to work by manually installing the driver though. Anyways Thanks a lot.

hey everyone, I am brand new to this. I am using the manual method to create a unattended winxp sp2 cd. I downloaded all the required tools like the deployment tool and all the hotfixes and created the batch file to integrate all the hotfixes. The thing is, the winxp files I copied off my installation cd onto harddrive already has sp2 built in. so when I run the batch file it will go through all them and at the very end it gives me this error, "This service pack cannot be integrated into a destination that also has integrated software updates." I don't have a winxp cd that doesn't have service pack 2 on it. so how can I add the hotfixes?
