%system%, i would doubt. The forum for xplode would be your best chance for answers though?

winnt.sif is a generated file from SetupManager. It is placed into I396 folder to enable setup to receive data from it, instead of you. A link should be in the unattended cd guide on this site for SetupManager.

You could try and use the recovery command console and use the net user command, net user FriendsName /add This may create an a/c so logon is possible?

If this is continuous. Faulty hardware may be the problem. Give it a good run with memtest86 to check the ram. I had to replace a mainboard on the last pc that kept currupting files and was becoming unbootable. Process of elimination is the way to go. Check the cheap and free options first before wasting money needlessly. Good luck.

Setup does not see usbehci.sys if it is in lowercase. It will complain that it is missing or corrupt. I had this problem some time back and simply renaming the file to uppercase fixes it. Do not ask me why, it just does.

So long as you have OemPreinstall = Yes in winnt.sif. The software you have in $oem$\$1\Install will be copied to %systemdrive%. I'm unsure if your adobe upgrade address is correct. I think you mixed up AdobeRdr folder with install folder? Double check your cmdlines.txt, to ensure that it is addressed to execute this batch file in it's location.

These files are located in the directory as commands.txt?

Why not insert the registry entries into inno setup. If entered as reg_expand_sz, then variables can be used, like %ProgramFiles%. You can also use ISTool, makes life easy with inno setup.

What program are you using?

They did a recode with xp. The later betas ran like a dream. Then before release, they added all the compatibity for 9x systems and made it unstable. Explorer never crashed in the betas. I can't vote as this road to recode has already been taken.

Use makecab to recompress. At a command prompt, type makecab /? for instructions. If you have modified the files, you may need to use modifype first. Use the site search to get it.

usbehci.sys needs to be in upper case.

Your fathers restore discs would be made from an oem version. Your home unattended version is ? . If retail, then no. You need oem keys for oems versions, retail keys for retail versions etc.

Looks fine. Ensure that you name it WINNT.SIF . Setup loves capitals letters for some reason. It should work, you said generated, which is good. Setting up partitions is normal but entering other data should not be so.

SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Setup" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "setup.exe /K:1234" /f This is what i tested with. Run it and checked the runonceex key. It is there.

I have run a little test and I get setup.exe /K:1234 entered into the registry? I do not understand, reg add works fine here.

If you only have 1 shortcut. You could use the copy command to copy from source to your desired location, after your account has been created.

You cannot use your name. {USER} You can choose between All Users or Default User only.

Yes, could be. If that is not it. Then the info supplied looks fine. Perhaps something registry that is causing it?

evilvoice offers good advice. use taskkill to kill the process then rd to cleanup. those are the commands to use. If you have home, use pskill to kill the process.

LogonType? Is that in the guide.

When you use SetupMGR to make your answer file. It also creates a bat file. Like displayed. rem This is a SAMPLE batch script generated by Setup Manager. rem If this script is moved from the location where it was generated, it may have to be modified. rem set AnswerFile=.\unattend.txt set SetupFiles=E:\i386 E:\i386\winnt32 /s:%SetupFiles% /unattend:%AnswerFile% So, your command would be E:\i386\winnt32 /s:E:\i386 /unattended:.\unattended.txt Assuming that E: is the setup drive. Or you can use a cd boot method and rename unattended.txt to winnt.sif, and put it in i386 directory.

Generic hardware. Your drivers will mean nothing inside virtual pc.

Cool. If your new to Autoit and like it. Get Scite4Autoit3 to script with. And Resource Hacker for it as well. Put exe inside folder 'AutoIt3\SciTe\CompileAU3'

If you have existing my docs on another drive. then do the unattended. will your exist data be safe?
