You were right! It was a permission issue after all. I did what you recommended: extracted the files, copied the .mst files into the DNF20, DNF30 and DNF35 folders and ran the install.cmd. This way I was able to install it without any error. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your quick reply! I don't think it is a permission issue, because both the System and user accounts have full permission on the temp folder. Also, I generated a .NET package with an early version of your script (from June 2008) and I was able to install it without any problem. Unfortunately, that early version doesn't integrate the new hotfixes...

Hello there, I created a .NET package for W2K3 with this _SNMsynth.ini: ; SNMsynth.CMD PROCESS SETTINGS. PROCESS_DNF1= PROCESS_DNF2= PROCESS_DNF35_DNF2=YES PROCESS_DNF35_DNF3=YES PROCESS_DNF35_DNF35=YES PROCESS_DNF3_RGBRAST=YES PROCESS_DNF3_WINIMAGING=YES PROCESS_DNF3_MSXML6=YES PROCESS_DNF3_XMLPSSC=YES DNF_FF_ADDON=NO PROCESS_LNG_DNF1=NO PROCESS_LNG_DNF2=NO PROCESS_LNG_DNF35_DNF2=NO PROCESS_LNG_DNF35_DNF3=NO PROCESS_LNG_DNF35_DNF35=NO WIN2K3=YES ADDON=NO MERGE_FRAMEWORKS=YES SILENT= COMPRESSION_RATIO=HIGH I had these hotfixes in the work folder: NDP20SP2-KB958481-x86.exe NDP30SP2-KB958483-x86.exe NDP35SP1-KB958484-x86.exe NDP35SP1-KB963707-x86.exe It created a 45 MB installer. However, when I try to run it on a freshly installed W2k3 box, after I logged in, it fails almost immediately.

Would you re-upload Winamp? I got this message when I tried to download it: File /files/15744415/Winamp.exe.html has been deleted. Reason: No download for a longer period. Inactivity-timeout exceeded. Thanks a lot.

I was only able to partially install raspppoe silently in the following way: In my Windows 2000 unattended install CD I put RMSPPPOE.SYS in the $oem$\$$\system32\drivers directory, RASPPPOE.DLL and RASPPPOE.EXE in the $oem$\$$\system32 directory and RASPPPOE.INF and oem05.inf in the $oem$\$$\inf directory (I enclosed the oem05.inf file). In this way, raspppoe will be included on the list of available protocols and when I install it, I only have to select it from the list. I hope my explanation made sense... oem05.inf
