Of course the rules may be different in your language. The problem is that nLite does not enforce these rules but Windows Setup does.Hope this helps, John. ok, I know that. That's why I tried such names as "KOMPUTER", "XXX" or "NONE"; same for "Workgroup", "Company" and "Full" names - I use only max. 8-character strings including ONLY english letters and/or numbers, I even tried to left individual fields empty, like that computer name, which then is filled with an automatically genereted name, but it still doesn't make any difference - I always need to tap enter on that screen during instalation. I'll try again with ver. 1.4.8 and see if I can still confirm what I wrote before - that the problem didn't concern 1.4.8. tnx for the answer. --- well I did run nlite 1.4.8 and made an unattended installer using WinXP SP2 OEM installation media, and bump - it neither works - instalation process is still interrupted and installer asks for computer name - I'm writing computer name, not Workgroup name, for there's keyb. focus in computer name entry. it could also concern workgroup name. now I know nothing... I think I once or two times achived the proper result (no computer name and workgroup screen) using 1.4.8 but not with HOME OEM version, as I'd been using WinXP Pro (BOX) earlier and there was everything ok in that time. I now don't posses Pro installer, so that could be the problem. well, I'm a bit confused here, for there is no clear reason why this happens. can someone inspect the way nlite operates on that particular area of the installation process? if you're able to make a perfectly automatic, non-interactive windows installer please give some information on versions of software you are using (.NET, nlite, Windows, other?) --- also, the option to switch off personalized start menu doesn't work either in 1.4.8 and 1.4.9.x =P
