i followed unattended option A: i configured all the settings i wanted, saved the custom.msp to the \updates forlder. but when i exe the setup i get the same pop up windows described in the first post post. this may be a dumb question but; do i have to select upgrade or custom for the install to finish? and once the install finishes with no errors then i go back to the .msp and turn off all notifications? thanks in advance for your time.
