jagojago12 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) Hi there, I am trying to create the unattend file for VS 2008 but it freezes. I'm trying the command:\\SERVER_NAME\vs2008\Setup\setup.exe /createunattend c:\VS2008_deployment.iniBut the unattend file creation process just hangs at the main initial setup screen, right after I click "next". What gives?Notice that the options like Next, Cancel or the X exit button are greyed out. After watiing for the rest of the setup to begin for 2 hours, something tells me it's hung hard.

jagojago12 Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 I solved the problem. The issue was I ran this remotely. Somehow, it didn't like that. Once I ran locally, I was able to create the unattend ini file. Strange, as creating the unattend ini file on Visual Studio 2010 runs fine. Alas, it's generally better to run locally if that'll suffice and this is case in point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I should have noticed where you were creating that .ini file. You didn't post the OS of the client. Vista, 7 and 2008 regard the root of the volume to be protected. As expected you seem to have run into a permissions issue. The reason why you didn't get any MsgBox about it may be due to what Local account VS was using to create the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
