Error in my winnt.sif


Recommended Posts

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

201120082320vb8.png

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".

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.
