[Tripo]

Hello I am trying to make NT4 unattended,

But is not really working.

so does anyone has an working Winnt.sif file to share with me.

Start by trying to use nLite.

Start by trying to use nLite.

That is aimed towards 2k and XP , interesting suggestion.

If I remember correctly, NT 4.00 used unattended.txt rather than winnt.sif:

Yes I could be difficult to use nlite.

I have try my winnt.sif and I get a BSOD.

so it is something wrong with it.

and if I rename it to unattended.txt then it is not recognized.

I'll try to re-phrase:

the NT 4.00 setup engine is different from that of 2K and XP not all values/entries in a "normal" WINNT.SIF will work with it.

Rather than renaming WINNT.SIF to UNATTENDED.TXT, you need to write a new UNATTENDED.TXT using only the values/entries that NT 4.00 accepts, see links given, start from the sample given in the MS KB.

yes I know that.

I have only use value that NT4 should have.

I did name it Unattended.txt from the beginning then I rename it to winnt.sif so the setup should recognize it.
