Problems with an unattend installation over the network

[Chenchu]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to make a new installation of XP on a virtual machine that already runs XP.

I created an unattend.txt file with setupmgr, and I mapped the I386 directory to the Z: drive.

Now when I'm running winnt32 /s:z:\ /unattend:unattend.txt , Setup window starts and everything goes well til the actual Installation process.

Then I get the error message, "Setup was unable to build the list of files to be copied.

the system cannot find the path specified". I tried to make the unattend file few times, I still get the same results..

Here is the unattend.txt:

;SetupMgrTag
[Data]
	AutoPartition=1
	MsDosInitiated="0"
	UnattendedInstall="Yes"

[Unattended]
	UnattendMode=FullUnattended
	OemSkipEula=Yes
	OemPreinstall=Yes
	TargetPath=\WINDOWS

[GuiUnattended]
	AdminPassword=blabla
	EncryptedAdminPassword=Yes
	OEMSkipRegional=1
	TimeZone=135
	OemSkipWelcome=1

[UserData]
	ProductKey=xxx-xx-xx-xx
	FullName="Trainning"
	OrgName=""
	ComputerName=*

[RegionalSettings]
	LanguageGroup=12

[SetupMgr]
	ComputerName0=Train
	ComputerName1=Train1
	DistFolder="C:\Winxp\I386"
	DistShare=windist

[Identification]
	JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP

[Networking]
	InstallDefaultComponents=Yes

Now C:\Winxp\I386 is where the Windows Installation files are.

any idea what's going wrong?
