Hello Thank you for the great help. Really: UnattendedSwitch was wrong spelled. Thank you for the hint. I correctet it to UnattendSwitch and tried again but it didn't work. I guess it's because i use UnattendMode=DefaultHide and not the really unattended mode. so it seems to be ignored... then i tried the version of gosh to disable oobe. and it worked fine! thank you both - great help. happy week, saimen

Hi folks I'm making an auto-install cd for windows xp. I want to enter the serial number and hostname manually for each installation. (that's why I choose UnattendedMode=DefaultHide). But although I set UnattendedSwitch="yes", it displays the "activation" and "add users" in the setup. Here's a part from my winnt.sif: ... [Unattended] UnattendMode=DefaultHide OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS FileSystem=* UnattendedSwitch="yes" WaitForReboot="No" KeyboardLayout="Deutsch (Schweiz)" ... Is there any possibility, to 1) skip the activation dialog in the setup (so I can activate it later with the "key" in the taskbar)? 2) skip the add user dialog in the setup and add (if necessary) the users later? thank you for your inspirations saimen PS: Despite of those two small "problems", everything else works wonderful.
