Hi all. I have an iritating problem. I slipstreamed SP3 into my Win XP home unattended install. Nou when i run the following code (used to work fine): I get the following error message: Annyone any idea what error 3 means? Hmm.. never mind. Must be sleeping. Directory isn't correct. Sorry for this useless post.

Nice topic! But can't seem to find 953235 and 953230. Could you add a link to the download pages please?

AutoPartition=1 DELETE'S all partitions on the first hdd and make's one new partition last time i tried. He wants the install to leave the other partitions alone. This isn't posible i'm afraid.

Hmmm... there'a a typo in the former post. I now get a msdos box poping up, but the text that the script echo's is gone. (like it's being redirected to a log file or something) Is this something that can be turned off? (like using another switch at UnattendMode?)

Daniel, To help you on your way: ECHO. ECHO Installing Nero Burning Rom 6.3.0.3. ECHO Please stand by... start /wait %systemdrive%\Applications\Nero\nero6303.exe /SILENT /NOREBOOT /SN=enteryourserialhere /WRITE_SN Put this in your .bat file. this should silently install Nero... (works fine for me) the .bat run's after first (auto) login...

Question: how can i make my script work during unattended install? I use a KiXtart script (see www.KiXtart.org for more info on the KiX languige) to handle the user adding part. I use two methods in the script: 1 unattended 2 user input required method 1: The script looks for a file on the D:\ drive of the system with the extention .con. If such a file is found, it uses the file name to automattically create a useraccount. If no .con file is found, script goes to method 2. Method 2: Script prompts for number of accounts to create, name's of the accounts to create and finaly the system name and comment. Problem: Script never execute's Method 2 while run in unattended install. Description: Script runs perfectly if i execute it now, even method 2 works, so the script is ok! When called from the cmdlines.txt file or from the WINNT.sif's DetachedProgram, it refuses to show the prompt for user input (method 2). Am i calling the script at the wrong time or whith the wrong method? cmdlines.tct: [COMMANDS] "install.cmd" "useraccounts.cmd" useraccounts.cmd: start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\kix32.exe %systemdrive%\Install\addusers.kix winnt.sif: ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS FileSystem = ConvertNTFS Repartition=No UnattendSwitch=Yes WaitForReboot=No OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\SIS\VGA;Drivers\Sweex\Wireless\PCICard; Drivers\Realtek\LAN;Drivers\VIA\Sound;Drivers\3Com\3C90x" DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=*encrypted* EncryptedAdminPassword=Yes OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=110 OemSkipWelcome=1 DetachedProgram="%systemdrive%\Install\KIX32.exe addusers.kix" [Display] BitsPerPel=16 Xresolution=1024 YResolution=768 [UserData] ProductKey=**************** FullName="."

That could be so, but it's not the script that's not working. It works fine if i start it up now. But at that stage of installation i cannot get a prompt that waits for user input! So it's not the question how to manually input users when i get a prompt, the question is HOW do i get a prompt that waits for user input at that stage of setup.

Hi, I wanted to make an automated script to create Users automattically at unattended install using a responce file on the D:\ drive of the machine it's installing on. That works like a charm, but i also wanted to have the option to create users manually if the responce file isn't found. The script is attached (KiXtart) I just don't seem to be able to let the install wait until the script is finished (the user inserted the user info) What am i doing wrong? cmdlines.txt: [COMMANDS] "install.cmd" "useraccounts.cmd" useraccounts.cmd: start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\kix32.exe addusers.kix addusers.kix.txt

k... next problem... How do i change them using Group Policy Folders Redirection? and where can i find ref.chm?

I am trying to change the default "My Documents" directory to a directory on the D: drive (for backup purposes) Now i've found out which regkey's i have to change during unattended installation, but the regkey's are not changed! Even if i execute the .reg file after installation, the key's are NOT changed. (according to regedit) here is the .reg file (It's a NL XP version): Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders] "Personal"="D:\Mijn Documenten" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders] "My Music"="D:\Mijn Documenten\Mijn muziek" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders] "My Pictures"="D:\Mijn Documenten\Mijn afbeeldingen" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders] "Personal"="D:\Mijn Documenten" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders] "My Pictures"="D:\Mijn Documenten\Mijn afbeeldingen" [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders] "Personal"="D:\Mijn Documenten" [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders] "My Music"="D:\Mijn Documenten\Mijn muziek" [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders] "My Pictures"="D:\Mijn Documenten\Mijn afbeeldingen" [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders] "Personal"="D:\Mijn Documenten" [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders] "My Pictures"="D:\Mijn Documenten\Mijn afbeeldingen" These key's won't change. Only direct editing them in regedit does the trick. Anyone any ideas what i'm doing wrong? (Or other method's to change the "My Documents" location unattended?)
