I finally got winnt.sif working and got an install w/ drivers and most of my apps, but for some reason my msi installers don't work. In windows whenever I run an msi or windows installer powered exe I get an error saying that Windows Installer cannot be accessed or may not be installed correctly. I tried using instmsiw.exe to install the installer service, but it didn't seem to work. Any help is appreciated.

hey, thanks for the help. sorry about the key.

I added my driver paths to winnt.sif and now it throws an "Invalid option on line 10" error. If anyone can tell me what's wrong, it would be greatly appreciated. Here is my winnt.sif file: ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" MsDosInitiated= "0" [unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\000_NV_Chipset;Drivers\001_NV_Video;Drivers\002_ATI_Video;Drivers\002_NV_Audio;Drivers\000_NV_Chipset\AudioDrv;Drivers\000_NV_Chipset\AudioUtl;Drivers\000_NV_Chipset\Ethernet;Drivers\000_NV_Chipset\GART;Drivers\000_NV_Chipset\IDE;Drivers\000_NV_Chipset\MemCtl;Drivers\000_NV_Chipset\SMBus;Drivers\000_NV_Chipset\Ethernet\NAM ;Drivers\000_NV_Chipset\Ethernet\PreNRM;Drivers\000_NV_Chipset\Ethernet\PreNRM\Win2K;Drivers\000_NV_Chipset\Ethernet\PreNRM\WinXP;Drivers\000_NV_Chipset\IDE\Win2K;Drivers\000_NV_Chipset\IDE\WinXP ;Drivers\000_NV_Chipset\IDE\Win2K\disk1;Drivers\000_NV_Chipset\IDE\Win2K\raidtool;Drivers\000_NV_Chipset\IDE\WinXP\disk1;Drivers\000_NV_Chipset\IDE\WinXP\raidtool;Drivers\002_ATI_Video\2KXP_INF;Drivers\002_ATI_Video\2KXP_INF\B_20640" DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes UnattendSwitch="yes" TargetPath=\WINDOWS FileSystem=* WaitForReboot="No" KeyboardLayout="US" [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=password EncryptedAdminPassword=No OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=10 OemSkipWelcome=1 [Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=1024 Yresolution=768 [userData] ProductKey=xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx FullName="Default" OrgName="" ComputerName=Default [TapiLocation] CountryCode=1 Dialing=Tone [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=13,1 [identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [Components] msmsgs=off msnexplr=off freecell=off hearts=off minesweeper=off pinball=off spider=off zonegames=off chat=off Media_clips=Off Media_utopia=Off [shell] CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\Windows Classic.theme" DefaultStartPanelOff=Yes DefaultThemesOff=Yes

Does anyone know how to install Firefox and/or Thunderbird silently? I can't seem to find any information regarding the installer. Thanks
