Thanks for updating ar9lite Sereby. Just a heads-up: AVG detects your ar9lite_eng.exe as being infected with Trojan horse Generic10.UZZ The previous version by Shark wasn't detected.

Nope, just tested that and it works fine. Cheers though enuffsaid. Cheers Aaron. Gareth

Cheers Aaron, I'll give it a try. Much appreciated. Gareth

I've tried several times now to get the Regional Settings sorted out during the unattended install. I want them all as UK/English and the user not to be asked after everything has been OEM resealed. What I get is everything set as UK except "Location - To help services provide you with local information, such as news and weather, select your present location:" which is under "Control Panel > Region and Language Options" at the bottom.

Ok, that worked. Cheers. Just a few more tweaks and it should be done. Any idea if the SysPrep tool runs automatically if it's from an OEM CD? I'd put it at the end of my hotfixes.cmd because I need it and it ran even though I'd typo'd the filename. What I mean really is did it run automatically because it's an OEM install or because I'd copied a folder called SysPrep into the root? If it's going to run automatically then I can not bother to copy the sysprep over or call it, you see. Many thanks, Gareth

No, it wasnt created by the OPK setup manager. I did think that might be odd but someone else's (that they claimed worked) on a different post didn't have one either so I thought it might be ok. I'll try adding one and see what happens. Cheers. Gareth

I'm getting a very similar error for XP Pro SP1a at T-39 minutes - just after it's rebooted from the text setup portion and entered Gui setup. Fatal Error An error has occured that prevents setup from continuing. Internal Setup data structures are corrupted (Phase 0) I've slipstreamed the SP1 Roll up and put in the hotfixes but I don't think it's getting that far. Would appreciate any pointers anyone can give me. For now, I'm goin' home. 12 hours straight is enough for any id*** Cheers, Gareth winnt.sif - There's a few things that are odd looking at it. It's half created by the OPK tools that I gave up on (they put in the bit about fileserver licensing which is odd) and half from cutting and pasting stuff ;This is the default Unattended installation file ;Target Path should be new directory ;Adminpassword is blank.
