Hi all, my first time posting here. was wondering if someone could help me out, i've been working with the unatended install all night, and im at the frustrated point with the batch i have setup for the applications i have. i followed the directions 100% as stated on the website. here is my config. I386 and $OEM$ in the same folder $1 under $OEM$ Install under $1 APplications under install etc... My batch file is located in $1 install folder and the winnt.sif file states: [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\start.cmd but nothing is copying over when i test the iso in Virtual PC. anyone can help me out id appreciate it! Thanks Mike
