@GM FYI I tried the last days hard to get a unattended install with XPCreate of XP Home Dutch and XP Prof Dutch. All seems to function till the point after the validation of the download of the SP1a package of 123 MB [luckly I don't have to pay for the downloaded MB]. It is not seen as validated and thrown away. After analysing I found out that the HFLISTS file were incomplete; the MDAC value for the SP1a package is missing (for Pro and Home NLD), and through that XPCreate gives the message that the SP1-path can't be found (is also missing in the mentioned files), but start downloading, after that the things go wrong. I made a workaround by slipstreaming SP1a by hand and after that Prof functions, but Home not. The problem with the Home edition is, that it comes until configuring of setup (is after copying files during Textmode), reads e.g. the dmreg.inf and after that comes up with stopcode 0x00BE with the message that maybe setupdd.sys is causing the error. But I can't find anything strange at that file? Have anybody an idea. Thanks in advance
