Hey all, got my first real problem with an Unattended install Made several with good success, but on my latest build using XP Home on this test rig, the system locks at T-13 in the gui. Even after hard reboot, it will not continue to install. I know that the svcpack loads at T-13, but is there anything else that does at this time? Suggestions?? Thanks for any help, buzz

Thank for your kind and helpful response. I will read up on that. I also tried Resource Hacker, and that seemed much easier to use. However, I still get the original logons. Maybe the reg entry to keep Windows from using the original .dll is it, but I'll read up first. Oh, and here's the code i used in my reg tweak file: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] GinaDll="bzzgina.dll" I also tried it with quotes around GinaDll, like this: "GinaDll" Thx! EDIT: I read some of that guide already, and tried using the way he described, but maybe I missed something?!

The EULA skip should be: OEMSkipEULA=Yes I have not used nLite, but have had good success setting it up Manually. However, I believe you have to use either nLite or winnt.sif, not both at the same time. Maybe you did, maybe you didn't, but I would double-check that. I'll look over your winnt.sif, and see what I might be able to help with. Regards, buzzbomb

First, thank you for an excellent Unattended Guide. Everything has worked rather well, and my Unattended worked.......until I decided to try something that looked simple and has stumped me: a customized logon screen. Not the Welcome Screen, but the Classic logon screen. I've read the Guide 5 times at least. I used ResEdit, chose my pic, saved the file. Here's question one: Do I change the extension to a .dll, or keep the .resbuild extension that ResEdit assigns? I added the regedit entry in the first line of my regtweaks.reg file which is called/installed via start.cmd Should I have it somewhere else? Any and all help would be much appreciated. And yes, I've searched the forums and found much on customizing the Welcome Screen, but I've tried many times what I've found re: the Classic logon to no avail. Again, thx for any help! ps. Could this be WFP that is keeping this from working? EDIT: I am using FAT32, not NTFS. EDIT: I've tried the reg entry, and a customized .dll, and Windows still reverts to the original msgina.dll........any suggestions???

Frankly, I should, based on the time I've spent searching so far.
