Hi, i get this error while installing Windows XP Home:

And here is my winnt.sif used:

[Data]
AutoPartition = 0
MsDosInitiated = 0
UnattendedInstall = Yes

[GuiUnattended]
AdminPassword = *
EncryptedAdminPassword = No
OEMSkipRegional = 1
OemSkipWelcome = 1
TimeZone = 110

[Networking]
InstallDefaultComponents = Yes

[RegionalSettings]
InputLocale = 0409:00000409
LanguageGroup = 1
SystemLocale = 00000409
UserLocale = 00000409

[Unattended]
FileSystem = *
KeyboardLayout = "US"
OemSkipEula = Yes
OemPreinstall = No
TargetPath = \WINDOWS
UnattendMode = FullUnattended
UnattendSwitch = Yes

I'm trying to get a setup that only asks:

- registration name and organization

- computer name

- product key

- domain

where i'm wrong?

Hi,

the problem is, that you've choosen "FullUnattended" method for your unattended setup.

You have to set the "UnattendMode" to "DefaultHide" in your "winnt.sif".

You have to set the "UnattendMode" to "DefaultHide" in your "winnt.sif".

Hi, i get the same error with DefaultHide. What is the meaning of this option?

Just start the "setupmgr.exe" from the "DEPLOY.CAB" in the folder "SUPPORT\TOOLS" on your XP-CD and see the different options there.

i will do it right now. Do you use DefaultHide and it works without errors?

No, I don't use "DefaultHide" I'm using "FullUnattend" for my installation.

I think the "DefaultHide" option should be the right for you, but I'm not sure. Just create a new answer file with the "setupmgr" and post if it's working.

Hey Gremo, does it work?

hi there, strangly this is working: (little differences...)

[Data]

EncryptedAdminPassword = No
OEMSkipRegional = 0
OemSkipWelcome = 1

[Identification]
JoinWorkgroup = WORKGROUP

[Networking]

NOTE: if u make DefaultHide at Unattended mode then OS setup won't work as ur winnt.sif says
