hi I have been trying to install vista through network (ubuntu hosting the samba share) , The samba share has no account (security=share and public =yes as the smb.conf setting) . I can install vista through the share easily by mounting the share and running setup.exe . But when I use the unattend.xml file (setup.exe /unattend:"Unattend.xml")it give errors. I checked the error log it said "Cannot access the "<path of image>" using the credentials "<domian\useraccount>" 1. Is it necessary to have <Credentials> tag if the install.win is not local but on networkshare(\\networkshare\share install.wim) , if yes , then which credential should I use since the n/w share donot require any credential to access it. I have know clue what should I do , I have tried everything possible . plzzzzzz help. thanks
