Still haven't figured this out... no one knows what's going wrong here?

Hi, I'm stuck here.. I created a config.xml and ran setup using the /config parameter (setup.exe /config config.xml) The installation looks ok - no errors - installs just fine, but, it always installs as default. If I set every option to absent it wil still do a default installation. Hope someone can help, can't seem to find any info on this one! I used the following site as information source: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179042.aspx My config.xml: <Configuration Product="ProofKit"> <Display Level="Basic" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" /> <Logging Type="standard" Path="%temp%" Template="Microsoft Office Setup(*).txt" /> <PIDKEY Value="(removed)" /> <USERNAME Value="IT Dep." /> <COMPANYNAME Value="Blabla" /> <INSTALLLOCATION Value="%programfiles%\Microsoft Office" /> <Optionstate Id="IMEMain_1028" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="IMEMain_1041" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="IMEMain_1042" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="IMEMain_2052" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1025" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1026" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1027" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1028" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1029" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <OptionState Id="ProofingTools_1030" State="Local" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1031" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1032" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <OptionState Id="ProofingTools_1033" State="Local" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1035" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1036" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1037" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1038" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1040" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1041" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1042" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <OptionState Id="ProofingTools_1043" State="Local" Children="force" /> <OptionState Id="ProofingTools_1044" State="Local" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1045" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1046" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1048" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1049" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1050" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1051" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <OptionState Id="ProofingTools_1053" State="Local" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1054" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1055" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1056" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1058" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1060" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1061" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1062" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1063" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1069" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1081" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1094" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1095" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1097" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1098" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1099" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1102" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_1110" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_2052" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <OptionState Id="ProofingTools_2068" State="Local" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_2070" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_2074" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Optionstate Id="ProofingTools_3082" State="Absent" Children="force" /> <Setting Id="Reboot" Value="Never" /> </Configuration>

Hi, I cannot seem to find information on how to define a WSUS server for Dynamic Update (While installing Vista unattended) I added this to my unattend.xml: <DynamicUpdate> <Enable>false</Enable> </DynamicUpdate> According to this (http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsVista/en/library/5a3f8d70-c5fc-42bf-be97-cbd66e6fe61c1033.mspx?mfr=true) technet page, it should be possible: "You can use Windows Server Update Services or a system management solution to cause Dynamic Update to use a server you configure instead of the Windows Update Web site.". But I cannot seem to find any information on how to do this.. Has someone already tried someting like this?

please invite me on f.ademi(AT)gmail(.DOT.)com

I think it's a driver problem, have you added/removed drivers? Have you already tried rebuilding a BartPE without adding/removing drivers? if so, does the problem remain?

@Martin Zugec How long does it actually take to detect the network card? I also use VPC 2004 Sp1 and it takes about 35 sec. to detect the network card.

Did you already try to make an INF-cache to speed things up a bit?

Hi, I tried installing Longhorn unattended (build 5084) but I get this error: "Error while parsing the unattended file" I use a modified "unattend_example.xml" file which worked with build 4074. Did anyone succesfully install Longhorn build 5084 unattended?

When I try booting BartPE based on Windows 2003 Server, I don't get a bsod. Does anyone know why?

Hi, I tried booting BartPE from Windows 2003 RIS server. It boots, but I get a blue screen (0xBB 0x3 - Failure while sending the DHCP IOCTL to TCP.) :S The test system was a Dell OptiPlex GX280. I added drivers using this article: http://wug.lutteman.se/articles/ris-add-nic.htm. Anybody has an idea how to fix this?
