Never say never, I finally solved the problem. I assumed that you can store the files in an additional subfolder - but no way. It work when you store the MUI package directly under muiinst in the $OEM$ folder. Any additional folder creates faults. By the way, after installing SP2 Microsoft changes the program muisetup. To avoid any problems replace the existing muisetup by the newone.

Dear ToBe, You really manged it? Then finally it must be the additional folder Install which I use, really hard to believe how nonflexible MS procedures can be sometimes.

Hello, as described I tested both methods - with and without systemvariables. I also changed the "/" to "-" as described in serveral forums. The only thing I have changed to the original Readme, which I read before, of MS is the additional subfolder Install. I am somehow sure that the problem is not related to this addtitinal folder. If MS had not decribed the possibility I would go the way by using a traditional batch file - but now I am nosey because I can not go a described way and this is somehow an ugly feeling in my chest. Thank for any useful response

Dear All, Sorry to bother all with this often discussed issue, but till now I did not find a solution that solves my problem. I have built an unattended installation DVD with XP - slipstreamed SP2, Office XP - slipstreamed SP3, MUI (german) for XP, MUI(german) for Office. The only problem I have is caused by the installation of the MUI for windows. I copied the MUI package in the folder $oem$\$1\Install\muiinst of the setup DVD. In the cmdlines.txt I added. [Commands] "Install\muiinst\muisetup.exe -i 0407 -d 0407 -r -s" I also tested [Commands] "%systemdrive%\Install\muiinst\muisetup.exe /i 0407 /d 0407 /r /s" But the installation did not start during excecution the cmdlines.txt (something like file not found in the error log, I don't know it by hearts exactly). The regtweaks I called in the cmdlines.txt are executed well but not the MUISETUP. I know I could copy the command in a batch but I would know it. I followed the MS guide. The files are all copied to the harddrive. I also found out - if I call the command for MUI installation by the command prompt and I use the complete command in quotion mark ("...") I got the error message file not found. If I leave any all switches like '/i 0407' and execute muisetup by ""%systemdrive%\Install\muiinst\muisetup.exe" the program starts. Without quotation marks and option switches it works as well. But for the cmdlines.txt I have to state each comment in quotation marks. Has anyone solved that problem or found the fault I did? Thanks
