This is already asked and answered, but my image was developed on VMWare with an eventual target of Dell Optiplex using a similar method. My Dell drivers are 010, 020..., and my VMWare hardware drivers are 510, 520... and both are listed in OemPnPDriversPath This hastened development time considerably.

Ok, I've got a nice working DVD install of XP SP1 and Office 2000. I install all of my patches and software at GUIRUNONCE (I've seen arguments for either way) and I install all of my user registry keys by loading Default's NTUSER.DAT into a temporary user hive and then performing my import. The process that I'm creating exists so that we can continue to roll-out new images in our environment (20,000+ machines) without any human intervention. Insert DVD, boot, watch install, wait for eventual BEEP that informs the technician that it's time to ghost their new image up after sysprep runs. Everything is going nice and peachy, but I've got a few things that SEARCH hasn't found for me yet. How do I remove Help and Support? Acrobat 6.0.2 does install silently with the .EXE parameters, but I'm fairly certain RUN /wait returns after the stub completes, and while the .MSI is still executing. I've posted this as the true MSI line (it's what the INI file executes, and what Process Explorer reaveals the command to be). start /wait MSIEXEC /i "%cdrom%\Install\ar602\Adobe Reader 6.0.1.msi" /qn TRANSFORMS="%cdrom%\Install\ar602\rdr602.mst" Normal usage of transform command-lines don't function correctly, and the above line gives an error -- sometimes. The below line works, but I'd be curious if anyone else is actually playing with this. start /wait %cdrom%\Install\ar602\setup.exe /S /v/qn And, the old method, of installing 6.0.1 and then installing the 6.0.2 patch works, if you want to download them that way. That's more of an annoyance than a problem, though. I'm stuck with one last Baloon. The first "Click on the start menu" baloon hasn't vanished. Suggestions? Also, I *think* I've got my office problem solved with a change to the install paramaters to include a custom transform that adds Exchance support. I'd like to avoid having the admin to manually launch Outlook once to get that configured. And, I'm looking for the setting to include the Analysis Toolpack by default in Excel. I should probably have that before my next reboot Anyway, any help would be appricated.

Actually 6.0.2 is the 6.0.1 install MSI and a transform. MSIEXEC /i "Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0.1.msi" /qb TRANSFORMS=rdr602.mst Extract and enjoy. (or /qn if you're all silenty!)

I'm having trouble with a recent unattended build. After adding my hardware, I'm getting an unable to copy DISK.TA_ (tag) error during text-mode setup. The file is in the right location on my build: TXTSETUP.SIF [SourceDisksNames.x86] 1982 = %cdname%,%cdtagfilei%,,"\i386\nldrv" ... [SourceDisksFiles] disk.ta_ = 1982,,,,,,,1982,0,0 And I've got a disk.ta_ in \i386\dldrv on my machine. Everything else that gets coppied from that folder works. Since my build works just dandy without it, I can easily remove the SourceDiskFiles entries, but I'd like to know why this isn't touchable. There's little information about what actually goes on in DISK.TAG. Is it just in use? Have I stuck a text-mode driver in the wrong place? Enquiring minds...
