Has anyone figured bfletch's problem out? I'm experiencing the same issue: winnt.sif is processed except for the [Components] section. This is really bugging me, since the only reason I ever created a winnt.sif file was to prevent Messenger and other things like that from installing. I have no great need for a fully unattended install, so I created this minimal winnt.sif for my XP Pro OEM slipstreamed SP2 install CD: [Data] UnattendedInstall="Yes" MsDosInitiated="0" AutoPartition=0 [Unattended] UnattendMode=ProvideDefault [Components] msmsgs=off msnexplr=off media_clips=off IEAccess=off OEAccess=off WMAccess=off zonegames=off [WindowsFirewall] Profiles=WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall [WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall] Mode=0 I'm a complete newbie with unattended installs, but I've been reading a lot of posts and the guide here, and I still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. My file is very definitely named "winnt.sif" and is in "I386" on my burned CD. XP appears to be processing it, since it turns off the firewall during the install, but all seven of the "components" I've listed remain installed for some reason. Any ideas/suggestions are very much appreciated. Thanks.
