Hello!

Is there any way to make a msbatch.inf for installing windows ME? There is no RESKIT in my winME CD, and I cannot find anything similar on the cd files...

thanks for any info!

The Batch98 tool can be used for ME as well. Everything is essentially the same, just some of the install options will be different and/or may have slightly different names.

The most important thing when using MSBATCH is the product type of your copy of Windows. It will affect how well or your script works or whether it works at all. OEM versions can be a PITA.

This is my MSBATCH.INF for Windows ME (Full Retail Version):
