Custom XP with SP3 hangs at the Admin password and Name screen

May 8, 200818 yr

I have created a slipstreamed Custom XP-Pro CD with SP3 and all work fine but during installation it always hangs at the Computer Name screen with the Administrator password. I have unchecked that Admin requires password but still hangs. So far I have tried it 4 times and no luck. I don't want that there is an Admin password.

for the Computer Name I have assigned: XP

the Admin password I left blank:

any suggestions??

I have similar problem. Installation media is proper and works fine as it is, but when unattended installation is made out of it with nlite, just can't auto login. See picture:

Okey, it's in Finnish but basicly it says that there are now user account avaiable that is trying to auto login. I made the account d0_0b with nLite, but just it doesn't show up in Windows. When I login with Administrator and check the user accounts settings from control panel, there are only Administrator account.

Why on earth there will be not accout that I make with nLite?

I have no idea why it hangs for you, but, did you put an installation number in the slipstream disk and did it install unattended for you?

My one will not accept the original number I have used for years!,,

my intallation accpepts the CD-Key with no problems but the installation hangs where it says:

you must assign a name to the computer and the Admin password is blank.

I don't want to have an Admin password and for the Computer Name I have used: XP

not sure where the mistake is but I have re-checked my settings several times.

Really dunno, made unattended installation with nlite and type pratically everything to everywhere. Funny, because just last week I did same kind of installation medias from SP2 and those worked fine.

I've tested nLite 1.4.5 Final and nLite 1.4.5 beta.

Actualle this popup error/notification from the imase says roughly translated:

System don't accept you login. Check user name ja workgroup, and type password again. Make sure that small and big letters are correct.

Well I chose to use blank password with Administrator and my own account.

Any ideas?

What am I doing wrong? nLite doesn't create user account that I intend. Installation is fully unattended until Windows should open first time.

Järjestelmänvalvoja means Administrator

Käyttäjätilit means User accounts

And I end up with this message during very first start and login to Windows:

Popup roughly says: System don't accept you login. Check user name ja workgroup, and type password again. Make sure that small and big letters are correct.

Never mind the wrong user account. Screenshot is from other onstallations, but the problem remains the same.

Using Windows XP Pro 32bit corp SP3 finnish and nLite 1.4.5 Final. Normal installation goes fine from installation image or CD. nLite doesn't give any errors or so. Any suggestions?

May 10, 200818 yr

Update to this issue. When I chose "Autologon -> User name -> Administrator" from nLite Users section, Windows logged in fine. Installation was fully unattended but no second user account were at Windows. What seems to be the problem? Why nLite/Windows doesn't create second user account?

Custom XP with SP3 hangs at the Admin password and Name screen
