I jsut finished my new unattened xp cd with sp2 and all of the programs i told the batch_file.cmd to run didn't install. It came up with errors for each one saying the .exe file was missing. So I am guessing that they got deleted during the install of xp. Anyway to fix tihs?

What you mean it can't be batch_file.cmd at GUI run once?

Uh. What?

Uh dude... i jsut put the stars so taht i wasn't giving away personal information..... My company administrator rescricts me from giving away the workgroup sence we are on a wireless network and we are a large organization.

I am asuming that sence it errors during the network install then the problem relies within the winnt.sif file so here it is. ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes UnattendSwitch="yes" DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore Hibernation=no UnattendSwitch=yes WaitForReboot=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\000_Chipset;Drivers\001_MA-101;Drivers\002_VideoCard;Drivers\003_DVD-Burner" [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword="*****" EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=15 OemSkipWelcome=1 [userData] ProductKey=************************* FullName="Tyler Durder" OrgName="Lotus : Graphic Design" ComputerName=Lotus [Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=1152 YResolution=864 Vrefresh=85 [TapiLocation] CountryCode=1 AreaCode=85719 [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 Language=00000409 [identification] JoinWorkgroup=******* [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes Home_Page=http://www.lotusds.tk/ [Components] msmsgs=off msnexplr=off freecell=off hearts=off minesweeper=off pinball=off solitaire=off spider=off zonegames=off [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\batch_file.cmd

My new slipstreamed XP cd with SP2 and other crap reboots durring the install right after it finishes the "installing network" phaze (around T-30), and the installation process starts all over at like T-39 or somthing. Why is this? how can i fix this?

Is there a universal code i can type in to prevent or ignore all program's request to reboot? So that regardless of what the program says the process wont occer and the installation of windows xp will continue?

around T-13 when XP runs batch_file.cmd a program is cousing windows install to reboot thus cousing the installation process to start over. I'm not quite sure exactly which program it is, it might be office 03, but this is preventing me from installing windows xp. How can i fix this? If you need me to post the batch_file, i will. or any other files for that matter.

Did you bother to read the website link that jrzycrim & I gave (in the 1st 2 replies)? Yes and i have everything right.

ack, once again i did a typo, i ment install, not installer. so OEMPreInstall. yeah evreyhing is right i just tested this in Virtual PC 04. durning the install my HD ran outa space and i had to delete some stuff to continue the emulation. do you think that it was just the virtual PC that messed it up?

yes, that IS what i ment. but do you know why it didn't copy?

My only guess to why this is, is maybe during install somhow it got deleted like maybe during windows' deletion of temp files or somthing. Any thoughts?

OEMPreInstaller is set to "Yes" and during the install it copied all the files in the $OEM$ folder, except for $OEM$\Installs folder. why is this? it was a big problem, because all my auto install flies werent copied thus they werent installed. what do i need to do to fix this?
