unattended installation is not

[jvgig]

So I have been using this guide and have just made my answer file. The program that it uses to get the file started also made a .bat file which was never mentioned. I renamed the .txt file to winnt.sif and placed it in the I386 folder. I then went through the ref.chm file and added all the entries that I wanted changed from default. However, when I run the unattended installation, I still have to answer every question by hand once I get to automatic updates. Do I have some answer incorrect or do I need to do something with the .bat file? I also noticed that on the ref.chm file, all of the example answers had spaces around the "=", but the provided program did not put them in, also the example sections were not indented with 4 spaces like the program did. Would these changes solve the problem?

Thanks for the help

The bat file created is for a manual start to initiate setup. Since you are booting from CD, then the bat file is rather useless and can be disposed of.

It is differcult to know exactly what is missing or incorrect but I do notice that you use "Yes" when I use "1" for the AutomaticUpdates value. Try changing the value from "Yes" to "1" and see if it makes a difference. I seem to remember some time ago that setup ignored the "YES", IIRC.
